In Platinum, Swift Swim changes the entire equation for Lumineon. The 460 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked D-Tier.

What is Lumineon weak to?

In Platinum, 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.

What is the best ability for Lumineon?

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.

What role does Lumineon play in battle?

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.

What counters Lumineon?

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