Lampent is a powerful wallbreaker in the NFE metagame thanks to its great offensive typing and high Special Attack stat. Calm Mind is used to boost Lampent's Special Attack, making it a threat against passive teams. At +1 Lampent can 2HKO threats like Machoke and Piloswine amongst others. Flamethrower is used to take down Grass-, Steel-, and Bug-types such as Thwackey, Tangela, Ferroseed, and Charjabug. Shadow Ball is used against Ghost- and Psychic-types, namely Galarian Corsola, Dusclops, Hattrem, and Kadabra. With Substitute, Lampent can easily set up against Pokemon can't damage it, particularly Raboot, Klang, and defensive Pokemon like Charjabug and Roselia, allowing it to set up for free or KO aforementioned Pokemon. Eviolite is the preferred item, as it enables Lampent's Substitute to stay up while Heavy-Duty Boots allow it to reliably get on the field without taking chip from entry hazards. 252 Speed EVs allow Lampent to outspeed Flame Orb Machoke, Choice Band Piloswine, and Choice Specs Brionne. Timid, however, should always be used when paired with Sticky Web, as it allows Lampent to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame.

Lampent struggles against Dark-types like Vullaby and Krokorok, which can easily switch in and force it out with Knock Off. Machoke and Charjabug are great partners since they can deal with Dark-types and absorb Knock Off, while Machoke can provide Knock Off support and Charjabug can set Sticky Web, making it easier for Lampent to sweep offensive teams. In return, Lampent can deal with Fire-types such as Raboot for Charjabug and can weaken physical walls, namely Tangela and Slowpoke for Machoke. Fighting-types such as the aforementioned Machoke and Mienfoo make for great partners, as they can deal with Trace Porygon, which is immune to all of Lampent's attacks. Lampent appreciates pivot support from Pokemon like Clefairy and Thwackey, as they can easily let Lampent in. Clefairy can use Teleport, has Wish, and provides Knock Off support, while Thwackey can switch out via U-turn on Steel-types such as Ferroseed and Klang. Lampent can deal with Steel- and Poison-types, specifically Ferroseed and Roselia, which threaten Clefairy and Thwackey. If Lampent is not running Heavy-Duty Boots, then Defog and Rapid Spin users like Vullaby, Togetic, and Wartortle are greatly appreciated to circumvent Lampent's Stealth Rock weakness.

Lampent is a powerful special attacker in the metagame and becomes a powerful wallbreaker with Calm Mind and Substitute. Calm Mind is used to boost Lampent's Special Attack even more and paired with Substitute makes it a threat to passive teams. Flamethrower is used to take down Grass-, Steel- and Bug-types such as Thwackey, Tangela, Ferroseed, and Charjabug. Shadow Ball is used against Ghost- and Psychic-types namely Galarian Corsola, Dusclops, Hattrem, and Kadabra. With Substitute, Lampent can easily set-up against Pokemon which can't damage it, in particular, Raboot and Klang which can't break Raboot's Substitute, allowing it to set-up for free or kill aforementioned Pokemon. (I would also add here the more defensive pokemon you mentioned earlier like Charjabug and Roselia, which it can easily pull of a Substitute on, Sub also blocks incoming Thunder Waves from Charjabug.)

Lampent struggles against Dark-types like Vullaby and Galarian Linoone, which can switch into Lampent and force it out with Knock Off. Machoke and Charjabug are great partners since they can deal with Dark-types and absorb Knock Off, while Machoke can provide Knock Off support and Charjabug can set Sticky Webs making it easier for Lampent to sweep Offensive teams. In return, Lampent can deal with Fire-types such as Raboot for Charjabug and can weaken Physical walls namely Tangela and Charjabug for Machoke. Fighting-types such as the aforementioned Machoke, and Mienfoo make for great partners as they can deal with Trace Porygon, which is immune to all of Lampent's attacks. Lampent appreciated Pivot support from Pokemon like Clefairy and Thwackey since Clefairy can use Teleport, has Wish and Knock Off support. Thwackey is good since it can U-Tturn out to Lampent on Steel-types such as Ferroseed and Klang that switch into Thwackey and deal with Water-types such as Wartortle and Brionne. Lampent can deal with Steel- and Poison-types in specific Ferroseed and Roselia which threaten Clefairy and Thwackey. If Lampent is not running Heavy-Duty Boots, then Defog and Rapid Spin users like Vullaby, Togetic, and Wartortle are greatly appreciated to circumvent Lampent's Stealth Rock weakness.
