Hey everybody it's me DeoGenZ with my OP Pokemon trainer strategy.
Today we're going to be looking at Laurantis the grass mantis Pokemon it's kind of like
the pink equivalent to Scyther except it's not a bug it's only grass-type so don't make
that mistake in metagame if you're thinking that it might be quad affected by fire so
on the stats side of things we see that its defense and special defense are equally good
and pretty decent when you consider things; not straight out wall status by any means
but the attacks, that is where it shines truly with a 105 base stat we go over to the ability
side of things we find lead guard which protects Lurantis from any status conditions in full
sunlight and contrary which turns any status altering moves that's stat altering move,
like swords dance into having an opposite effect so if lurantis did a sword dance while
having a contrary ability it would have a very bad effect lowering your physical attack
stat rather than raising it but I'm going to talk about that in the strategy section
about how you may use contrary to your advantage in double battle and aside from sunny day
you may even think about trick room, look at that speed stat, 45 this is one of the
slowest pokes we've looked at so far so enough of us speculating, let's head out into the
field and talk about how do you raise a Lurantis the main thing I wanted to keep in mind with
this bulky striker in particular since you could have multiple variance of EVs is that
I wanted it to be balanced that's why defense and special defense effort values are halved
right down the middle once again with 126 and 126, max out that physical attack stat
though because that is Lurantis' best attribute and you want to be sure to maximize it as
much as possible you can depend on the nature adamant to do that to the fullest careful
will help you with your special defense an impish nature will help you with your physical
defense in terms of moveset we see a really cool move solarblade which I'm not certain
many Pokemon can learn I haven't explored this move particularly yet but it looks pretty
much like a solar beam except with a physical attribute to it so those Pokemon like Lurantis
that have a good physical attack stat will benefit from having a solar blade whereas
I would never recommend putting a solar beam on this Pokemon because it's special attack
is nothing to really be caring about x-scissor, poison jab, break break all give you a good
amount of hitting power and variance on the types that you can be super effective on,
you could consider petal blizzard since solar blade does take two moves to set up I should
add that's why I mentioned it's very much like solarbeam if you want to use solar blade
immediately however I would recommend attaching the power herb which was what that red feather
looking item was in the previous screen showing all the stats of Lurantis and on the note
of items you need to be sure your moveset fits with the item you attach because that
assault vest which also was on that stat screen will restrict you to only using offensive
move so that assault vest will work for the regular moveset that I provided here but if
you branch out into using synthesis or any move that is not offensive assault vest will
prevent you from using that and then cripple a whole move slot while you're trying to battle
in metagame, and before I leave you friends I just want to mention the contrary ability
which is hidden but available and can be used in single battles with a little bit of prediction
if you know that your opponent has a Pokemon with intimidate on it because instead of lowering
your attack it will raise your attack when Lurantis switches in, and in double battles
it's even more controllable for example if you have a member on your team that has charm
and you use it on Lurantis instead of lowering your attack 2 stages it will raise it 2 stages
which is an incredible boost again early in the game where Lurantis doesn't even have
to use a sword dance and can continue focusing on being a purely offensive; and in next week's
episode you'll want to stay tuned because I have a particularly good Pokemon for monotype
teams that has some great synergy you can take advantage of Lurantis' contrary ability
so you want to stay tuned for next week to see who that is so with these combinations
of stats, items, and movesets in mind I hope that I've helped you in your seventh gen metagame
and let me know below if you're using any of the Pokemon from previous episodes, Have
I helped you actually train a specific Pokemon in your team?
