[OVERVIEW]
Fighting
========
Hisuian Lilligant does on paper have a lot of appealing traits for Fighting thanks to Victory Dance making it an incredible setup threat along with its secondary Grass typing giving it nice resistances to Water, Electric, and Ground making it a solid answer to threats like Urshifu-R, Raging Bolt, and the Landorus formes. However Fighting has far better immediate power houses like Ursihfu-R Iron Valiant, and Sneasler to name a few while Hustle can often stop a Victory Dance sweep short by missing crucial attacks.

Hisuian Lilligant serves as a solid setup sweeper for Fighting teams thanks to its signature move, Victory Dance, which can enable it to setup and clean through types like Water and Ground with ease. Leaf Blade slashes through Water- and Ground-types like Primarina, Swampert, and Great Tusk. Close Combat is Hisuian Lilligant's strongest move overall being able to muscle past Scizor and Iron Hands. Finally Ice Spinner nails the Flying- and Grass-types that handle Hisuian Lillgant's STABs such as the Landorus Formes, Amoonguss, and Sinistcha. Wide Lens is used to help offset Hustle's accuracy reduction.
Keldeo or Urshifu-R serve as excellent partners for Hisuian Lilligant by being able to check Fire-types such as Ceruledge and Moltres while appreciating Hisuian Lilligant checking Water-types like Primarina and Rotom-W that can handily deal with them. Keldeo can further support Hisuian Lilligant by breaking through physical walls such as Iron Defense Skarmory and Pecharunt. Assault Vest Iron Hands can handle faster special attackers such as Choice Scarf Enamorus and Gholdengo along pressuring Pelipper with Thunder Punch. Assault Vest Gallade can check threats such as Choice Scarf Greninja and Latias while using Psycho Cut to slice through Poison-types such as Iron Moth and Okidogi. Great Tusk can provide Stealth Rock to weardown Ogerpon-H and Choice Scarf Enamorus along with using Knock Off to remove Rocky Helmet from threats like Skarmory and Toxapex. Iron Valiant can pressure Flying-types like Gyarados and Moltres with Thunderbolt and Shadow Ball to pressure Ghost-types like Gholdengo and Pecharunt. Choice Scarf Sneasler can deal with faster Fairy-types like Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant with Dire Claw.
