[SET COMMENTS]
Set Details
========
- Lunala leverages its high bulk with Shadow Shield and wide movepool to support its team, mainly protecting it from spread attacks such as Astral Barrage and Glacial Lance with Wide Guard. Its high Special Attack and strong Ghost- and Fairy-type attacks allow it to weaken the opposing team over the course of a game, allowing its partners to clean up after it.
- Moonblast is a great option to hit Dark-types such as Incineroar and Normal-types like Ursaluna, as well as OHKO both Urshifu formes.
- Electric Seed allows Lunala to feel much less threatened by strong physical attacks such as Glacial Lance from Calyrex-I, Flare Blitz from Koraidon, and Headlong Rush from Ursaluna. This lets Lunala both set up and take down Trick Room or continue dealing damage.
- Lunala's Special Attack investment allows it to 3HKO many bulky Pokemon, such as Zamazenta-C, Calyrex-I after Terastallization, and Amoonguss with Moongeist Beam. Its bulk allows it to survive Tera Fire Flare Blitz from Ability Shield Koraidon under Neutralizing Gas and Timid Choice Specs Miraidon Electro Drift half of the time.
- Tera Fairy allows Lunala to resist Dark-type attacks such as Knock Off from Incineroar while being immune to Draco Meteor from Miraidon and removing Lunala's weakness to Ghost. It also allows Lunala to 3HKO Incineroar with Tera Fairy Moonblast.
Teambuilding
=========
- Lunala often struggles to stay safe without Terastallizing, mainly due to Dark- and Ghost-type attacks from Incineroar, Chi-Yu, Lunala, and Calyrex-S. As such, it is not hard to force it to Terastallize. It can also struggle against Urshifu-R, ignoring the Defense boost with Surging Strikes and only being affected by Shadow Shield on the first hit.
- After Shadow Shield is broken, it can be quickly knocked out with strong neutral attacks such as Astral Barrage from Calyrex-S after Lunala has Terastallized, Electro Drift from Miraidon, and Flare Blitz from Koraidon. Lunala can also become very passive when weakened by moves such as Spirit Break, Parting Shot, and Snarl from Grimmsnarl and Incineroar.
- Lunala requires Miraidon as a partner to activate its Electric Seed and appreciates bulky partners to protect itself, such as Incineroar. It works very well with Assault Vest Miraidon, as it allows both Restricted Pokemon on the team to soak up damage and use consistent strong attacks to chunk down foes, and Lunala can protect Miraidon from Glacial Lance with Wide Guard.
- Ursaluna is also a great partner for it, as it can be very difficult to deny Trick Room from Lunala, allowing Ursaluna to get on the field and devastate with Facade or Headlong Rush, while Lunala cleans up foes that Ursaluna may not be able to take out in one hit. It also appreciates Pokemon that can clean up foes that are chipped down by Lunala, such as Urshifu-R.
