With a unique movepool and powerful signature ability, Lunala carves out a niche as an offensive Trick Room user. Moongeist Beam is a powerful STAB move for Lunala, hitting most popular Pokemon for neutral damage. Meteor Beam gives it great coverage, dealing super effective damage to the most popular Dark-type Pokemon, Incineroar. Lunala is a particularly effective Trick Room user thanks to Shadow Shield. While at full health, it can survive double targets that use strong attacks, including Zacian's Behemoth Blade and Kyogre's Water Spout, and set Trick Room afterwards. For its last move slot, Lunala can choose between Wide Guard and Protect. Wide Guard allows Lunala to discourage the powerful spread moves in the format, most notably Calyrex-S's Astral Barrage, while Protect instead gives it a more consistent positioning move. This EV spread gives Lunala the bulk to turn +0 Zacian's Behemoth Blade into a 3HKO even without Shadow Shield, but the spread is flexible and can be adapted in many ways.

Lunala works well with partners that help it set Trick Room. Incineroar can suppress an opposing Pokemon with Fake Out, while also lowering foes' offensive power with Intimidate and Parting Shot. Amoonguss provides redirection support via Rage Powder, and can disable opposing Pokemon with Spore once Trick Room is up. Lunala also appreciates support moves that heal it back to full health and reactivate Shadow Shield, such as Tapu Fini's Heal Pulse and Amoonguss's Pollen Puff. Stakataka is another good inclusion for Lunala teams, as it provides another option for setting Trick Room and can take advantage of the effect itself. Lunala struggles to damage Dark-type and Normal-type Pokemon after using Meteor Beam; for example, Indeedee can redirect its powerful Moongeist Beam with Follow Me, or even threaten Lunala with a super effective Shadow Ball. Incineroar that run Throat Chop or Darkest Lariat are also capable of inflicting lots of damage, though they need to watch out for Meteor Beam.

Switched the location of EV description, added a little to checks and counters. Tried not to make it too long, let me know if you need an edit.

 

[Giokio]

I would have liked answers to those checks you mentioned but it would be too long, QC 1/1

Finland to answer your question, VGC is a doubles format so you don’t just need to survive a hit, but potentially 2 hits if the opponent double targets Lunala.

EDIT: also many thanks for the GP

how about this? (you're good to go if so)

 

[Giokio]

Series 10 is a mono Uber format so it could be misunderstood, that’s why we didn’t mention double targets, i’d keep it as you said in the GP

EDIT: Nevermind, let’s leave the double target mention
