PvE Analysis

While Lunala used to be a bit of a weak option in raids, getting access to Shadow Claw gave it a strong niche to call its own as a Ghost Type that resists Psychic Type moves. This alone has catapulted Lunala to new levels of viability as a Ghost Type attacker with strong situational TDO. It's still WAY behind the top picks in the type in terms of DPS, and is quite literally Dawn Wings Necrozma but worse, but at least it's not as useless as it used to be!

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

  • Shadow Claw and Shadow Claw make for Lunala's best overall moveset.
  • Confusion and Psychic come together to make Lunala's best Psychic moveset.
  • While not very common, using Shadow Ball over Psychic where both are Super Effective is optimal.
  • Air Slash, Moon Blast, and Future Sight don't bring much to the table for Lunala.

PvP Analysis

Confusion is slow, but it has great damage output that's boosted by STAB. Moonblast offers solid counter-coverage, especially against Dark Types, and hits very hard. Shadow Ball has high power and counter-coverage against Ghost Types..

Great League
Lunala's CP is too high for the Great League.
Ultra League
Lunala is a bit too easily outclassed, especially given the prevalence of certain Dark and Ghost Types in the league.
Master League
Lunala has potential here, but it also has problems. Not only does it fear Dark and Ghost types, its moveset is painfully slow. Confusion has average energy generation, but its slow animation can delay Charged Moves. Meanwhile, its moves are relatively expensive, meaning Lunala isn't going to have many opportunities to send out its nukes. This fact means that Lunala needs to be paired with something that can shred shields, as sending it in against anything with 1 or 2 shields available is basically asking to lose.
