• Sun: It requires a lot of effort to maintain Lurantis’s vivid coloring, but some collectors enjoy this work and treat it as their hobby.
• Moon: It fires beams from its sickle-shaped petals. These beams are powerful enough to cleave through thick metal plates.
• Ultra-Sun: For self-protection, it pretends to be a bug Pokémon. Both of its arms bear keen-edged petals.
• Ultra-Moon: As it slashes into its enemies, it looks like it’s dancing. Its elegant appearance has led some to call it the most glamorous Grass Pokémon.
• Sword: This Pokémon resembles a beautiful flower. A properly raised Lurantis will have gorgeous, brilliant colors.
• Shield: The petals on this Pokémon’s arms are thin and super sharp, and they can fire laser beams if Lurantis gathers light first.
