[SET COMMENTS]

Lilligant is a fearsome setup sweeper in NU thanks to the infamously potent combination of Quiver Dance + Terastallization. Tera patches up two of Lilligant's main weaknesses, being poor coverage and a poor defensive typing. Pollen Puff allows Lilligant to hit Grass-types like Appletun and Lurantis without having to rely on Tera Blast. It also doubles as nice coverage for Pokemon such as Umbreon and Mesprit, which pack the bulk and utility options to hinder a Lilligant sweep. Because Lilligant has Pollen Puff for Grass-types, it uses a Tera Blast type capable of threatening Flying-types, commonly Rock or Electric. Tera Rock has the added benefit of resisting Poison, letting Lilligant more easily deal with Muk or take a Poison-type attack from Hisuian Sneasel or Toxicroak in a pinch. Lilligant can opt to run Encore last in tandem with Tera Electric to take advantage of careless Thunder Wave users like Blissey and Umbreon, locking them into the move and granting Lilligant free setup opportunities. Sleep Powder can be used to grant even more setup opportunities, but without the added coverage, these setup opportunities are often moot. Life Orb is great for Lilligant, as Giga Drain can offset the recoil, and the added damage to special walls like Appletun and Bombirdier is greatly beneficial.

Lilligant is often found on more offensive teams, both creating and using openings and momentum for and by its teammates. Dedicated leads like Bombirdier and Froslass are the forefront of generating early momentum for offensive Pokemon; the entry hazards and utility options like a respective Memento or Destiny Bond create ample opportunities for Lilligant and other offensive teammates like Hisuian Sneasel, Veluza, and Vivillon. Choice Scarf Mesprit and Rotom can invite in special walls like Blissey, Cryogonal, and Umbreon and Trick them, completely impairing their ability to check Lilligant effectively.

Preview-length analyses should get across a general idea of what the set does but be nowhere near as extensive as an Overview in a traditional analysis. Explain any relevant coverage moves and slashings in the set, as well as non-252 / 252 EV spreads. A couple examples of relevant teammates should be included too.

Tera Rock has the added benefit of resisting Poison, letting Lilligant more easily deal with Muk, or take a hit from Sneasel-Hisui or Toxicroak in a pinch. phrase this better because these Pokemon could also just CC your face in Tera Electric has an added benefit of being immune to paralysis. Lilligant can opt to run Encore last to take advantage of careless Thunder Wave users like Blissey and Umbreon, locking them into the move and granting Lilligant free setup opportunities. combine these two ideas together (Tera Electric and Encore) because that SEEMS like what you're going for but it's not entirely clear Sleep Powder can be used to grant even more setup opportunities, but without the added coverage, these setup opportunities are often moot. Life Orb is great for Lilligant, as Giga Drain can offset the recoil and the added damage to special walls like Appletun and Bombirdier is greatly beneficial.
