Ability and Held Item

Ability Held Item
Chlorophyll Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Wide Lens ImageWide Lens

Hisuian Lilligant's best Ability is Chlorophyll, which allows it to be incredibly fast in Sun. Its Held Item is Wide Lens, which raises the accuracy of Sleep Powder because a successful Sleep Powder can often turn a match in your favor.

Moves Breakdown

Leaf Storm Sleep Powder
After You Protect

Leaf Blade is Hisuian Lilligant's only damaging Move. This is especially useful against Grass-weak Pokemon like Dondozo or Wash Rotom, with a good chance of landing a critical hit.

The most important Move of the set is Sleep Powder. This Move can single-handedly win games if it is successful. Sleep is devastating, as it allows for Pokemon to lose turns.

After You is used in tandem with a slower and more powerful Pokemon. Hisuian Lilligant, like its regular counterpart, when coupled with Torkoal, make up a popular core called 'Lillikoal', where the two Pokemon have natural synergy with each other.

Protect on this set is mainly used for protecting Hisuian Lilligant from Fake Out without needing to commit to Terastallization.

Best Tera Type: Ghost

Ghost is the best Tera Type for this build because that will allow Hisuian Lilligant to be immune to Fake Out.

EV Spread and Nature

It is important to max out Speed for Hisuian Lilligant, as it needs to always use Sleep Powder or After You first. We maximize Attack so that Leaf Blade will deal as much damage as possible on the occasions where we use it.

The remaining EVs are put into Special Defense to raise it by 1 point so that it can better take Special Moves.

Other Viable Moves

Close Combat Another STAB option that is reliable for quick burst damage. This is especially useful against Fighting-weak Pokemon like Kingambit
Solar Blade A powerful Grass-type STAB option, however this move will take two turns to charge up outside of Sun.
