Not only is Lurantis one of the few Pokemon with access to Defog, but it also has solid bulk, reliable recovery, and a typing that fares well into many top threats like Bruxish, Eelektross, and Sandaconda. Contrary + Leaf Storm lets Lurantis accrue boosts very quickly, and Tera Blast can patch up any holes in its coverage; Tera Electric hits Flying-types like Drifblim and Oricorio, and Tera Fire hits Steel-types like Perrserker and Tera Steel Eelektross. Pollen Puff is an option to hit Grass-types like Appletun and Lurantis without relying on Terastallization. Lurantis is hampered by its weaknesses to U-turn and Poison-types like Muk and Toxicroak, making physical walls like Sandaconda and Drifblim great teammates. Lurantis also works excellently with entry hazard setters, as Contrary can punish Defog. Special walls like Chansey, Bombirdier, and Muk can take consecutive boosted Leaf Storms, so powerful physical attackers like Passimian and Bruxish pair well with Lurantis. 48 Speed EVs let it Chansey and Muk, giving Lurantis an edge against them should they be weakened.
