I'm not. I like Solgaleo more but I box my legendaries anyways so wouldn't of matter either way.

Both their typings are shit. Solgaleo is literally Metagross 2.0, Lunnala needs to be in full heath to not get raped by Pursuit.

I'll go with Lunnala anyway, as it would probably function like a special Dragonite and would have a free chance to tear assholes.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lunala was OU instead of Uber. Those 2 double weaknesses.

That's probably the worst typing any legendary ever had

Is everyone here a competitive battler?

I'm pretty hyped for Moon but I'll use the legendary once - maybe twice - then put them in my legendary box and move on.

>tfw I was always going to go Moon, and now all the autists, neckbeards, and normies are going for Sun because muh bat queen is too femme and flawless for them - they are literally settling for a piece of shit that is probably an unused Pyroar Mega from ORAS/Z

LOL

Yes? They had the same typing

>>26608060
>>26608229

Solgaleo is Metagross 2.0, but nobody ever accused Metagross of having poor tying.

Lunaala is Hoopa 2.0, another pokemon that was absolutely reamed by its typing. Remember that time Hoopa went to RU despite 150 base SpA and a signature move that breaks Protect?

If you weren't on Team Bat from day one then get out of my face.
>>
>>26608424
Remember that time Hoopa was slow, had a useless ability, and didn't have box legend defenses? Hoopa has a lot more flaws then just its typing.
>>
>>26608473
How much damage does Hoopa Unbound take from Foul Play, by the way? Is it still hefty because of its boosted Attack?
>>
I still haven't chosen yet. I want to know about some version exclusives I might end up using, not just the cover legendaries that will be collecting dust in the box.

Fuck yeah, we need more bat mons. Lunaala is based as fuck

So bad they had to retcon the damn thing into a better Pokémon

>>26608060
sure, I will pursuit lunaala now that I know his type

>>26608060

If only it could be Dark/Ghost, Ghost/Fairy or even Psychic/Fairy.
Psychic is totally useless for Ghosts. It adds no useful resistances (because Psychic isn't used that frequently and resistance to Fighting is pointless when Ghost has an immunity) while at the same time giving it a 4x weakness to Ghost, Dark and removing Ghost's resistance to Bug.

What were they thinking. Lunala needs 24/7 Stealth Rock removal support to stop it from getting raped by Pursuit, Dark Pulse, Knock Off, Sucker Punch, Shadow Ball and Shadow Sneak, depending on what tier and speed tier in winds up going into.
>>
>>26608519
It gets 2HKO'ed by non-STAB users and OHKO'ed by STAB users. All because of non-existent defense.
>>
How can I switch when I was already there?

Go back to elementary school you fucking retard.

To be fair, Hoopa Confined has other problems besides its two glaring weaknesses. It's too slow and has poor physical bulk, which makes its colossal special attack a waste against fast or hard hitting opponents.

Lunala already has the defensive ability in Multiscale, and given how box legend stats work, it will definitely have much more physical bulk and speed than Hoopa. And it will probably have a good STAB/Coverage moveset with Psyshock (Psychic), Moongeist Beam (Ghost), Moonblast (Fairy), and something else.

Lunala ghost type = Will-O-Wisp
Sucker Punch= Fuck
