Lilligant @ Grassium Z / Normalium Z
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Sleep Powder
- Giga Drain / Energy Ball
- Hidden Power Fire / Hyper Beam
Originally a top-tier threat, Lilligant saw a decline in usage once the tier began to adapt to both it and Jynx by using Pokemon like Choice Scarf Swanna and Togedemaru, and it saw both a drop in competitive play and on the Viability Rankings. Recent changes in PU, including the banning of both Archeops and Magmortar, have left Lilligant in a far better position, now able to better abuse its deadly combination of Quiver Dance and Sleep Powder to set up and sweep weakened or unprepared teams. Along with being a dangerous sweeper, Lilligant is also hard to pin down in terms of what it's running, as both of its viable Z-Moves are capable of beating different checks; Breakneck Blitz breaks past foes such as Drampa and Pyroar, while Bloom Doom helps weaken Pokemon like Type: Null and allows Lilligant to run Hidden Power Fire for Ferroseed. Lilligant can also create free turns for teammates with Sleep Powder, switching out once it has put a foe to sleep. Although Lilligant is a fantastic sweeper, it struggles against fast Choice Scarf users like Pyroar, Swanna, and Togedemaru, so teammates such as Hitmonchan and Eelektross help break or weaken these Pokemon.
