Stats & Training
Lilligant's spread isn't flashy. Attack leads, Sp. Atk trails, 2 stats clear the bar. Moderately hard to find and worth 2 Sp. Atk EVs, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
The fragrance of the garland on its head has a relaxing effect, but taking care of it is very difficult.
No matter how much time and money is spent raising it, its flowers are the most beautiful when they bloom in the wild.

Flying, Fire, Ice, Poison, Psychic, and Fairy moves hit Lilligant for super-effective damage. Flying hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. 6 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that.

Without TMs, Lilligant's movepool is bare bones. With them, you get Normal and Flying coverage and more on top of Leaf Storm and Solar Blade for STAB. The natural kit handles basics, but TMs are doing the real work.

Lilligant Guide
In Scarlet & Violet, Don't let Lilligant's 480 base stat total fool you. Chlorophyll is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a sweeper. Quiver Dance with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Scarlet & Violet, watch for Braviary (Flying), Volcarona (Fire), and Lapras (Ice) when using Lilligant. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Braviary is the most dangerous since Flying moves deal 4x damage. Poison, Psychic, and Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. With 6 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.
In Scarlet & Violet, Run Chlorophyll on Lilligant. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Lilligant also gets Hustle and Leaf Guard, but they don't compare. With base 105 Speed, Chlorophyll gives Lilligant an edge before opponents can react.
In Scarlet & Violet, Lilligant fills the sweeper role. It's a physical attacker with base 105 Attack. Base 105 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Scarlet & Violet, run Quiver Dance, Giga Drain, Terablast, and Alluringvoice on Lilligant. Quiver Dance is the most common pick at 20% usage. This set covers the sweeper role with a mix of damage and utility.
