Hisuian Lilligant


PvE Analysis
Hisuian Lilligant unfortunately lacks a discernible niche, as it is vastly outclassed in both the Grass and Fighting attacker departments. Its stats are also quite underwhelming, so it doesn't have the greatest future either.
Best PvE Offensive Moveset
- Magical Leaf is a better move than Bullet Seed
- Solar Beam is better than Petal Blizzard but not by much.
- Hisuian Lilligant's Fighting Charged Attack options are underwhelming and don't synergize with its Fast Attacks.
Best PvE Defensive Moveset
- Magical Leaf deals more damage than Bullet Seed
- Upper Hand is a 3-bar move and gets used more often than Lilligant's other Charged Attacks.
PvP Analysis
Magical Leaf offers a more rounded option than Bullet Seed, though the latter can be used to reach Lilligant's expensive Grass-type attacks more reliably.
Upper Hand is both Hisuian Lilligant's best and cheapest Charged Attack. Petal Blizzard is its cheapest Grass-type Charged Attacks. Close Combat is a good move and can be used as an alternative option to Petal Blizzard if more Fighting-type burst is desired, but running mono-Fighting leaves Hisuian Lilligant's energy easily walled. Solar Beam is far too expensive for something with Hisuian Lilligant's frailty.

---|---|---|
Hisuian Lilligant is a fairly underwhelming Pokemon, but it does possess a rare type combination, and it can break cores at times. However, Chesnaught is generally a better Pokemon for this role, and Chesnaught is already a niche pick in open Great League, so don't expect Hisuian Lilligant to do much more. | ||
Ultra League | ||
Virizion is a top-tier meta pick; run that instead. | ||

In Legends: Arceus, Hisuian Lilligant slaughtered gods thanks to its overpowered signature move, Victory Dance, which gave it both a tons of offense and defense. Unfortunately, it can't do that in Pokemon GO. |
