Lunala @ Power Herb

Level: 50
EVs: 68 HP / 4 Def / 180 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

- Trick Room / Hypnosis
- Wide Guard / Protect
Lunala had an amazing showing at the VGC 22 World Championships in London, placing 2nd by Guillermo Castilla Diaz, top 8 by Naoto Mizobuchi, and top 32 by Joe Ugarte. Lunala is known for its sturdiness, thanks to amazing natural bulk and Shadow Shield, and its offensive pressure, with STAB Moongeist Beam and Power Herb Meteor Beam to OHKO Incineroar and Charizard while boosting its Special Attack. Lunala is especially notable for being one of the few Pokemon on Groudon teams that can pressure Incineroar and Charizard without Dynamaxing. This allows Lunala / Groudon teams to make use of other Dynamax candidates like Charizard and Regieleki. Naoto's Lunala opted for Trick Room and Wide Guard, offering Speed control and the ability to put a stop to the common spread move users like Kyogre and Calyrex-S. Guillermo instead went with a Hypnosis variant to gain more control of the field. 252 Speed EVs allow it to hit 149 Speed so that it can outpace Calyrex-S after a Max Airstream boost from Charizard.
