PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Psychic Attacker:
Confusion
Psychic - Ghost Attacker:
Shadow Claw
Shadow Ball
Lunala has excellent stats like Solgaleo, but unlike Solgaleo, it has amazing moves in Pokémon GO, both in the Psychic and Ghost type departments.
As a Psychic type, Lunala with Confusion and Psychic is just behind Mewtwo and Hoopa Unbound (when keeping Megas and Shadows out of the picture) in performance while boasting superior TDO (above both Mewtwo and Hoopa Unbound). 💪
As a Ghost type, Lunala with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball is again a premier TDO option, just behind its own Dawn Wings fusion. In DPS, it's again supreme, just behind Blacephalon (keeping Megas and Shadows at bay). 👏
⚔️ Raids
While Dawn Wings Necrozma is undoubtedly the ruler of the Ghost-type meta, Lunala is a monster in its own right, excelling both as a Psychic and Ghost Pokémon. Its TDO is extremely high in both cases, combining both offense and bulk in the right proportions. 💪

🔵 Great League
N/A
🟡 Ultra League
Lunala’s stats are too compressed in the Ultra League, limiting its prospects. Moreover, Lunala is double weak to Dark and Ghost moves, two types commonly found in this format. 😶
🟣 Master League
Lunala is one of the best Pokémon in the Master League. With the envious moveset of Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball, and Moonblast, this Legendary is a lethal generalist, posing a threat to everything in this format. 😈
While its powers are lower than Dawn Wings Necrozma, Lunala boasts more consistency, making it an equally good (if not better) option. While the double weaknesses to Dark and Ghost are troublesome, they help keep this OP Pokémon balanced. An absolutely stellar Pokémon for the Master League! 👑
💎 The best PvP moves for Lunala are Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball and Moonblast.
