Physical Sweeper Lurantis-Totem (Leaf Guard)
Lurantis is a wonderful Physical Sweeper for single battles. This moveset is designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Life Orb boosts the power of Lurantis's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Leaf Guard, if sunny day is active Lurantis cannot be statused and rest will fail for it. With a Grassium Z equipped to it, if Lurantis has a grass move, this item allows it to use a grass z-move.
◆ Petal Blizzard is a physical STAB-boosted 90-base power Grass-type move (no additional effect. Hits adjacent pokemon).
◆ Superpower is a physical 120-base power Fighting-type move (lowers your Lurantis's attack and defense by 1 stage).
◆ Brick Break is a physical 75-base power Fighting-type move (destroys screens, unless the target is immune).
◆ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness).
◆ Slash is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (high critical hit ratio).
◆ Knock Off is a physical 65-base power Dark-type move (1.5x damage if foe holds an item; Note: This will also remove that item).
◆ Night Slash is a physical 70-base power Dark-type move (high critical hit ratio).
