PvE Analysis

Lunatone is a somewhat iconic Pokemon, and a bit rare due to the fact that it and Solrock change places in the Northern/Southern hemispheres for each equinox. However, it's genuinely not worth investing in.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

Rock Throw + Rock SlideBest
Psywave + PsychicBest
  • Rock Throw should be paired with Rock Slide, the bread and butter Rock-type set.
  • Psywave can be paired with Psychic, though Lunatone is poor as a Psychic attacker.
  • Confusion is a great Psychic Type Fast Move, but is inferior to Psywave.
  • Moonblast has minimal offensive utility on Lunatone.

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

Confusion + Rock SlideBest
  • Confusion is great on defense.
  • Rock Throw isn’t too shabby, but it’s inferior even when Confusion is resisted.
  • Rock Slide is the optimal defensive charge move, with high power and 2 bars.
  • Psychic is good on defense, but it's redundant with Confusion.
  • Psywave pales in comparison to Confusion on defense.
  • Moonblast is 1-bar and will probably never get a chance to be used.

PvP Analysis

Confusion or Rock Throw + Rock Slide and Psychic or Moonblast

Confusion is generally recommended due to its superior energy gains, but Rock Throw can provide direct and immediate Rock-type coverage if needed as a specialist. 

Rock Slide costs the least amount of energy, gets STAB, and provides wide coverage. Psychic benefits from STAB to threaten strong Psychic-type damage, while Moonblast is an alternative option that offers Fairy-type coverage to hurt Dark-type opponents. 

Great League

Lunatone... is not good in PvP. It has a nice moveset overall, but not nice enough to make up for its sub-par typing and slightly offensively-oriented stats. It can be useful in some cases, but its niches are better served by other Pokemon.

Giratina says "Hi".

Master League

Seeing Lunatone hit the field is sure to make your opponent happy (if a bit confused) at least!
