With its shining light, it lures its prey close. However, the light also happens to attract ferocious fish Pokémon—its natural predators.

Lumineon Weakness

Electric and Grass moves hit Lumineon for super-effective damage. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Storm Drain grants an additional Water immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. With 69 HP and balanced defenses, Lumineon can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Scarlet & Violet Lumineon Best Moveset

Prediction matters here. Choice Scarf means Lumineon can't change moves after clicking, but the payoff is speed patching through item lock. Max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs with Stormdrain back that up. Utility options prevents free switches.

Moves

Don't skip the egg moves. Lumineon picks up Agility and Aqua Tail only through breeding, and both fill gaps the natural movepool can't. STAB runs through Hydro Pump and Surf while coverage across 7 types adds range.

Lumineon Guide

  • In Scarlet & Violet, Swift Swim changes the entire equation for Lumineon. The 460 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a pivot. Dazzling Gleam with Choice Scarf is the standard set.

  • In Scarlet & Violet, watch for Raikou (Electric) and Breloom (Grass) when using Lumineon. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • Swift Swim is what you want on Lumineon. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Storm Drain, Water Veil) work on paper but Swift Swim is what makes Lumineon worth using.

  • Base 91 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Lumineon is leaning toward the physical side (base 69 Attack). Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a pivot.

  • For Scarlet & Violet, Lumineon has answers, but so do you. Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Electric and Grass-type attackers hit hardest.

Game Availability

Available in 13 titles since its debut in Diamond & Pearl, Lumineon spans 7 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in a solid number of games.
