Ability and Held Item

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Lunala Image
Ability Held Item
Shadow Shield Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Covert Cloak ImageCovert Cloak

Lunala's only ability is Shadow Shield. This is amazing because, like Multiscale, it reduces the damage Lunala takes at full HP by half. When combined with its amazing bulk and Moonlight's healing, Lunala becomes incredibly difficult to knock out.

The item chosen for this build is a Covert Cloak. This is important so that Lunala doesn't get affected by a move's secondary effect, especially Psychic Noise which prevents it from healing itself with Moonlight.

Moves Breakdown

Moongeist Beam Moonblast
Moonlight Calm Mind

Moongeist Beam is its strongest Ghost-type STAB move that also ignores the opponent's ability, potentially getting an OHKO on Pokemon that have Sturdy or Multiscale.

Moonblast is its main coverage move that, when combined with Moongeist Beam, only the Pyroar and Grafaiai lines are able to resist both moves. It also has its damage boosted once Lunala Terastallizes.

Moonlight lets Lunala recover a portion of its max HP, with the amount depending on the current weather conditions. This is important to bring Lunala back to full health and resetting Shadow Shield.

Calm Mind is the key move of this build because it lets Lunala boost its Sp. Atk and Sp. Def stats, making it an incredibly bulky threat.

Fairy is the best Tera Type for this build because it is one of the best defensive types in the game, and it also boosts the damage of Lunala's Moonblast.
Best Fairy (Tera) Type Pokemon for Ranked Battle

EV Spread and Nature

A full 252 EVs are placed in Lunala's HP and Defense to make it as physically bulky as possible. The extra 4 EVs are put into its Sp. Atk to slightly boost its damage output.

A Bold nature is preferred to maximize Lunala's lower physical defenses.

Other Viable Moves

Psyshock Its best Psychic-type STAB move since it hits the opponent's Defense instead of their Sp. Def.
Will-O-Wisp Punishes physical attackers by burning them and halving their Attack stat.

Shadow Shield Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Power Herb ImagePower Herb

Lunala's only ability is Shadow Shield. This is amazing because, like Multiscale, it reduces the damage Lunala takes at full HP by half.

Power Herb allows it to fully charge a Meteor Beam in a single turn, making use of its Special Attack buff without the delay.

Moves Breakdown

Moongeist Beam Meteor Beam
Wide Guard Dazzling Gleam

Moongeist Beam is its strongest Ghost-type STAB move that also ignores the opponent's ability, potentially getting an OHKO on Pokemon that have Sturdy or Multiscale.

Meteor Beam positions Lunala for a sweep after one successful use. This can also deal meaningful chunks of damage to opposing Incineroar.

Wide Guard protects Lunala and its team from popular spread attacks like, Glacial Lance, Astral Barrage, Dazzling Gleam, Water Spout, and Precipice Blades.

Dazzling Gleam gives Lunala its own spread option, with Fairy being a good offensive type with only a few types having a resistance to it.

How to Use Lunala Effectively

Avoid Taunt Users

Unless the Calm Mind Lunala set is holding a Mental Herb, it easily gets shut down by a Pokemon that knows Taunt. With no EV investments in its Sp. Atk, Lunala becomes an okay physical wall that does decent damage until Taunt wears off.

Use Lunala's allies to knock these Pokemon out or switch Lunala out so that it's not sitting in the field doing nothing while Taunted.

Make Lunala Unbeatable with Moonlight Resetting Shadow Shield

One of the more annoying Pokemon to deal with this generation is Dragonite thanks to Roost constantly resetting Multiscale. Lunala also has this combination but with Moonlight and Shadow Shield.

Look to make Lunala an unbreakable wall with Calm Mind boosts raising its Sp. Def and Moonlight consistently heal it back to full and reactivating Shadow Shield.

How to Build a Team with Lunala

Lunala works better on more balanced teams that prefer to use their bulk to outlast their opponents.

Sample Singles Team

Hazards Lead Special Attacker Special Attacker
Glimmora ImageGlimmora Terapagos ImageTerapagos Lunala ImageLunala

Glimmora is a great lead thanks to its ability to set up Stealth Rocks and Toxic Spikes. Its main role is to set up two layers of Toxic Spikes and badly poison the opponent, setting a timer on how long they can stay alive in battle.

Terapagos can utilize its Tera Shell and increased bulk in its Stellar form to easily tank hits and deal massive damage in return. It also has the option to set up with Calm Mind boosts against more passive opponents.

Finally, Lunala is used as the anchor of the team since it can reduce the damage it takes with Shadow Shield and also heal itself with Moonlight. This combo makes it nearly impossible to knock out, and the opponent will faint from being poisoned before Lunala goes down.

Sample Doubles Team

Pokemon Lunala ImageLunala Calyrex (Shadow Rider) ImageCalyrex (Shadow Rider)
Ability Shadow Shield As One (Shadow Rider)
Held Item Power Herb Life Orb
Role Special Attacker Special Attacker

Calyrex (Shadow Rider) Can antagonize opposing teams with consecutive uses of Astral Barrage. Lunala can set up with a single Meteor Beam and position itself for a sweep. This duo is also immune to Fake Out, making them difficult to go up against.
