Lombre functions well as a special wall thanks to its unique defensive typings paired with its decent bulk. Surf is used as Lombre’s Water-type STAB to hit Fire-types like Ponyta and Quilava as well as Ground-types and Rock-types like Cubone, Onix and Rhyhorn. Hidden Power Grass is used as Lombre’s Grass-type STAB attack that can hit previously mentioned Ground-types, and Rock-types alongside Water-types like Chinchou, Corsola, Seaking, and Wartortle. Toxic is a great option to threaten out special walls like Delcatty, Drowzee, Porygon, and Noctowl. Similarly, Leech Seed can impact Pokemon that resist Lombre’s main damaging moves as well as provide healing for the rest of the team. Synthesis offers Lombre the ability to heal after taking damage and extend its lifetime within a match. Alternatively, Protect is a great option for stalling out weather, getting Leftovers recovery, and scouting your opponents.
Specially Defensive Lombre offers a unique niche in the ADV ZU tier by walling common special attackers like Clamperl, Porygon, Seaking, and Sunflora.
