[SET COMMENTS]
Lunala is an excellent physical wall thanks to its great bulk, movepool, and Shadow Shield that is capable of dealing with some of the tier's premier threats like Urshifu-R, Dragonite, and Great Tusk. Calm Mind allows Lunala to act as a setup sweeper and improves its matchup against foes like Arceus-Ground, Calm Mind Solgaleo, and offensive Eternatus. Alternatively, it can run Teleport to generate momentum as well as pivoting out of bad matchups like Dark-types, such as Hisuian Samurott and Weavile. Ice Beam can be used to hit foes like Dragonite, Great Tusk, and non-Aggronite Mandibuzz, whereas Moonblast can be used instead to nail the aforementioned Dark-types while still hitting Dragonite and all variants of Mandibuzz. Will-O-Wisp is also an option that cripples physical attackers like Urshifu-R and the aforementioned Dragonite. Rocky Helmet can be used to annoy physical attackers like Urshifu-R, Dragonite, and Galarian Zapdos, while Heavy-Duty Boots can be used instead to keep up Shadow Shield even if entry hazards go up. As a physical wall, Lunala synergizes well with checks to special attackers such as Ho-Oh, Arceus-Ground, and Galarian Slowking. Setup sweepers like Gouging Fire and Solgaleo and wallbreakers like Landorus and Iron Boulder also benefit from Teleport Lunala's ability to safely pivot them in. Dark-types like the aforementioned Hisuian Samurott and Weavile and Normal-types like Arceus and Blissey are a pain in the ass for Lunala, so it appreciates Fighting-type teammates such as Urshifu-R, Galarian Zapdos, and Lopunnite Iron Boulder.
