lurantis or fomantis? they are my babies :3

[A link to a previously published fomantis post will be at the bottom of this one :)]

I worry that I say this too much in these posts, but this one was tricky. In all honesty, the data surrounding this pokémon is often contradictory, a perhaps fitting condition considering its tricky appearance. Overall, from the best that I can tell, a lurantis would not make the best pet for many owners.

Thankfully, size isn’t an issue. It rarely is with bug pokémon like, but not exactly like, lurantises. Lurantises only appear to be a bug pokémon in order to hunt and protect themselves (Ultra Sun, Scarlet), but they sell the facade well. This protects them from predators seeking a grassy snack and tricks tasty bug pokémon to come closer to them until it’s too late. While this strange pokémon doesn’t have very extreme space needs, they are notoriously difficult to care for… somehow.

The pokédex makes it very clear that it takes a very attentive trainer to keep a lurantis healthy (Violet). The species’ beautiful floral coloration, which have given it the reputation of being one of the “most glamorous Grass Pokémon” (Ultra Moon), is a handy health indicator: a happy and healthy lurantis will have bright, vivid colors. This is said to be difficult and laborious for trainers to maintain (Sun, Violet), though some have taken up lurantis care as a hobby (which indicates that its both possible, and attention-consuming). I’m not sure, however, why it is so difficult to maintain this level of health for a lurantis. After all, due to their common ability Leaf Guard, this species is immune to conditions like poisoning as long as they are in the sun, and their many self-healing moves, it shouldn’t be that difficult to maintain their health! It’s a puzzle. Let’s just say that a lurantis is unlikely to be a good starter pet.

While they may not be particularly violent normally, aside from taking down prey, lurantises are quite dangerous. Their move pool might not be too much to worry about on the surface, their biology has provided them with some truly formidable weapons. The sickle-shaped petals on their arms are actually quite sharp, allowing them to use moves like Slash and Leaf Blade (Ultra Sun, Shield). The danger in these petals goes beyond their sharp edges: lurantises are capable of turning sunlight into powerful beams which they can shoot from their petals that are powerful enough to “cleave through metal plates” (Moon). So. That’s… not great. Any pokémon that could kill you instantly, just from spending time in the sun, is one we have to consider very carefully no matter their usual behavior.

All-in-all, lurantis scores a very middle-of-the-road score due to the mixed results of my analysis. They’re beautiful, small, and smell nice (Scarlet), but they are also said to take a lot of attention and care, and could cause massive damage on whim. Prospective lurantis owners, I’ll leave this one up to you. Personally, I think a fomantis is a much safer choice.
