Special Sweeper Lunatone (Levitate)
Lunatone is a remarkable Special Sweeper. It tries to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Focus Sash helps protect Lunatone from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Life Orb boosts the power of Lunatone's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Levitate, Lunatone is immune to ground; gravity/ingrain/smack down/iron ball nullify it.
