From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Lurantis (Japanese: ラランテス Lalantes) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
It evolves from Fomantis when leveled up in the day starting at level 34.
Biology
Lurantis is a plantlike Pokémon that resembles an insect. The top half of its head is light pink, while the bottom half is white. It has light red eyes, and two green antennae with a small green lump between them. There are four extensions to the top half of its head: two on the top with red tips that resemble ears, and one on each side with white tips that resemble stylized hair. It has a light pink body with wavy, skirt-like extensions around the waist and a green abdomen and neck. Its thin, white arms end in large, red scythes with white along the bottom rim and a single green claw on the tip. There are vertical, pink-and-red stripes down its legs, which have small, pointed green feet. The coloring and shape of Lurantis's body and arms give it the appearance of wearing a long-sleeved dress, while its legs are similar to pants. Four red, wing-like appendages sprout from its back, each tipped with white.
Lurantis both looks and smells like a flower, a trait that it exploits to lure foes in for a surprise attack. By gathering light, Lurantis can fire laser beams using its sickle-like arms. Its brilliant coloration and elegant moves have earned it acclaim as the most glamorous Grass-type Pokémon. However, it does disguise itself as a Bug Pokémon for protection. Maintaining its appearance requires detailed grooming. If a Trainer does a good job caring for it, Lurantis will have an easier time trusting them than a lazy Trainer and have gorgeous, brilliant colors.[1]
These beams can cleave metal plates. In Generation VII, Solar Blade was its signature move.
- Totem Pokémon
A special Lurantis in Alola acts as the Totem Pokémon for Mallow's trial in Lush Jungle. This Lurantis possesses Z-Power, an energy that originates from Ultra Wormholes and takes the form of a golden, flaring aura. The reward for defeating Totem Lurantis and completing the trial is a Grassium Z.
Evolution
Lurantis evolves from Fomantis.
