Lunala is a strong, bulky special attacker that uses Shadow Shield to safely set up with Calm Mind. Due to its typing, bulk, and ability, Lunala has a positive matchup into Zamazenta-C and threatens to KO the Calyrex formes with Moongeist Beam. Lunala uses Moonblast to hit Dark-types like Chien-Pao and Urshifu-S that resist Moongeist Beam. Calm Mind gives Lunala more bulk to survive against special attackers like Calyrex-S and Miraidon and boosts its damage output, making it a threat. Leftovers provides recovery for Lunala to help it regain Shadow Shield. The defensive investment allows Lunala to live Dark Pulse from Chi-Yu, Shadow Ball from Choice Specs Flutter Mane, and Astral Barrage from Calyrex-S. The offensive investment allows Lunala to OHKO Calyrex-I after a Calm Mind, OHKO Gholdengo, and nearly OHKO bulky Flutter Mane, all with Moongeist Beam. The Speed EVs help outspeed bulky Gholdengo and paralyzed Choice Scarf Urshifu-R. Lunala uses Tera Fairy to remove its weaknesses to Dark- and Ghost-type attacks like Knock Off and Astral Barrage from Incineroar and Calyrex-S, respectively. Tera Fairy also boosts the damage from Moonblast, which helps threaten Dark-types.
Dark- and Ghost-types such as Incineroar, Chi-Yu, and Calyrex-S threaten Lunala with their STAB moves like Knock Off, Snarl, and Astral Barrage, respectively. Amoonguss threatens Lunala with Spore while tanking its attacks. Miraidon threatens Lunala with immediate offensive pressure, preventing Lunala from setting up in front of it. Pelipper helps against Koraidon, Incineroar, and Chi-Yu with Drizzle, threatens to OHKO the latter two with Weather Ball, and helps against Amoonguss with Hurricane. Pelipper's access to Wide Guard protects Lunala from Calyrex-S's Astral Barrage and Chi-Yu's Snarl. Rillaboom is another great option for Lunala thanks to Grassy Terrain, which offers recovery and a way to override Miraidon's Electric Terrain, and Fake Out, allowing Lunala to set up with Calm Mind. Urshifu-R provides offensive pressure on a lot of Lunala's threats like Chi-Yu, Incineroar, Chien-Pao, Calyrex-S, Terapagos, and Ursaluna-B and synergizes well with Pelipper thanks to rain boosting Surging Strikes and Rillaboom because it handles Fire-types that threaten Rillaboom. Incineroar can use Taunt to shut down Amoonguss, has Intimidate to weaken physical threats such as Zacian-C and Chien-Pao, and has access to Fake Out, making it a great partner for Lunala to set up next to. Grimmsnarl helps Lunala survive against offensive threats such as Miraidon, Koraidon, and the Calyrex formes thanks to Prankster Light Screen and Reflect reducing the damage Lunala and its allies will be taking while providing speed control in Thunder Wave.
