Stats & Training
An unusually even spread gives Lumineon flexibility. Speed barely edges ahead. But HP isn't far off. Moderately hard to find and follows a standard growth curve. Yields 2 Speed EVs.
With its shining light, it lures its prey close. However, the light also happens to attract ferocious fish Pokémon—its natural predators.
This deep-sea Pokémon lives at the bottom of the sea. Its fins haul it over the seabed in search of its favorite food—Starmie.
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.

Lumineon Guide
In Sun & Moon, Swift Swim changes the entire equation for Lumineon. The 460 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a pivot. Scald with Life Orb is the standard set.
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 a special attacker with base 69 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a pivot.
In Sun & Moon, run Scald, Ice Beam, Tailwind, and Defog on Lumineon. Scald is the most common pick at 25% usage. Scald provides reliable STAB damage.
