Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Best Lurantis Tera Raid Build

screenrant.com:

Lurantis has arrived in , becoming one of the best Pokémon used for taking down Tera Raid Dens. It is a monotype Grass- Pokémon with type advantages against Ground- and Water-types making it exceptional for recent raid events such as the 7-Star Pikachu Raid or 's Walking Wake. The key to victory not only comes from correctly placing its Grass-typing against a weakness but also from its ability, Contrary. As always, when picking Lurantis, keep in mind its weaknesses to limit the number of times it faints.

Catching Lurantis in is easy and can also be obtained by evolving its pre-evolution Fomantis. These Pokémon can be found near each other or on their own in locations such as South Province Area 1 or Casseroya Lake. Remember that Fomantis is very small, so being patient and walking instead of running will aid in seeking one. During the day and at level 34, Fomantis will evolve into Lurantis, giving trainers another trainable raid-ready Pokémon, much like another Grass-type such as Meowscarada in .

Due to Lurantis's Grass-typing putting them to Sleep with Spore, Sleep Powder will not work. Consider using Hypnosis, Yawn, or Sing to improve the chances of catching one.
