Stats & Training
Attack and Defense carry most of Lurantis's stat budget. Speed's the obvious dump stat. Moderately hard to find and yields 2 Attack EVs. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
By masquerading as a bug Pokémon, it lowers the guard of actual bug Pokémon lured in by a scent of sweet flowers. Its sickles bring them down.
A lot of time and effort is required to maintain the vivid colors of its petals. This Pokémon puts its Trainer’s attentiveness to the test.
Lurantis Weakness
Type-wise, Lurantis takes extra damage from Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. That's a lot of weak spots to cover so team support is important.

TMs carry this one. Lurantis learns Leaf Storm and Solar Blade naturally for STAB, but the offensive range comes almost entirely from technical machines. Bug and Dark and beyond give it real matchup play.

Lurantis Guide
In Scarlet & Violet, Contrary changes the entire equation for Lurantis. The 480 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as an attacker. Superpower with Heavy-Duty Boots is the standard set.
