[OVERVIEW]

Access to Quiver Dance along with good base Special Attack, usable Speed, and the ability to create setup opportunities with Sleep Powder makes Lilligant one of the best setup sweepers in the tier. Despite its shallow coverage, Lilligant can utilize Z-Moves well to break through otherwise checks such as Magmortar, Guzzlord, and Clefairy. Access to Healing Wish provides Lilligant with another potential role as a niche Choice Scarf user, though it receives stiff competition from other Choice Scarf users such as Primeape, which boast better coverage and Speed. Unfortunately, Lilligant's Speed is far from ideal, meaning Quiver Dance sets are revenge killed by common Choice Scarf users such as Primeape and Haunter, whereas Choice Scarf sets fail to revenge kill fast Speed-boosting sweepers like Jynx. Its poor physical bulk means it's vulnerable to priority such as Piloswine's Ice Shard and Skuntank's Sucker Punch. The Quiver Dance set's reliance on Z-Moves mean that mispredicting can ruin its sweep.

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========

Quiver Dance provides Lilligant with crucial boosts to Speed and Special Attack to allow it to sweep, while Sleep Powder creates chances for Lilligant to set up and the potential to get around Sucker Punch users. Lilligant's Grass-type STAB move is its most important coverage; Giga Drain provides it with passive recovery whereas Energy Ball has more power. If using Grassium Z, Energy Ball should always be used. Hidden Power Fire is Lilligant's best coverage, if not using Normalium Z, to hit Steel- and Grass-types such as Ferroseed and Abomasnow. Hyper Beam should only be used with Normalium Z to potentially take out Flying-, Fire-, and Grass-types like Magmortar and opposing Lilligant.

Set Details
========

Maximum Speed investment with a Timid nature is crucial to outspeed Choice Scarf users such as Mesprit, whereas 252 Special Attack EVs maximize Lilligant's power. Both Grassium Z and Normalium Z give Lilligant a one-time powerful attack, but Leftovers or Life Orb can be used if the team has a Z-Move user already; the former gives it passive recovery, while the latter boosts its power at the cost of health. Chlorophyll allows Lilligant to destroy sun teams and is less situational than Own Tempo.

Usage Tips
========

Lilligant should primarily be used late-game as a sweeper, but it can be used earlier to wallbreak with its Z-Move. Lilligant should try to come in freely, like after a KO, on a Pokemon that it forces out, such as Lanturn, or on a foe that is slower and vulnerable to Sleep Powder to set up Quiver Dance. Be careful when setting up on sleeping Pokemon, and only try to use a second Quiver Dance when safe or necessary. Also be wary of setting up if the opponent has an Oricorio, as it copies Lilligant's Quiver Dance with Dancer.

Team Options
========

Lilligant should be used on offensive teams that need a late-game sweeper and have resources to help create a sweep. Entry hazard users such as Piloswine, Golurk, and Qwilfish provide crucial chip damage to wear the opponent's Pokemon down, with Qwilfish being notably helpful in removing Toxic Spikes. Stealth Rock is especially useful to severely cripple Fire- and Flying-types. Special wallbreakers such as Pyroar, Alolan Raichu, and Jynx can weaken or KO specially defensive Pokemon that beat Lilligant. Offensive Mesprit is a particularly good partner, as it can lure in and weaken Skuntank along with other special walls. Lanturn is a good partner, as it can check Fire- and Flying-types, and offensive sets can lure in Pokemon that the Normalium Z set hates such as Ferroseed. Pursuit Skuntank can trap and weaken many of Lilligant's checks such as Magmortar and Oricorio-G along with certain Choice Scarf users like Jynx and Haunter while also removing Toxic Spikes.

Moves
========

Leaf Storm is Lilligant's strongest STAB move, making it most effective at revenge killing threats. Energy Ball does not drop Lilligant's Special Attack, making it better to use if Lilligant wants to stay in for more than one turn. Healing Wish provides invaluable support to weakened teammates. Hidden Power Rock lets Lilligant revenge kill Oricorio while doing more damage to Fire-types. However, Sleep Power can be used to cripple a defensive check or a Pokemon Lilligant cannot KO. Hidden Power Fire is another option to deal with Ferroseed and potentially revenge kill Choice Scarf Abomasnow.

Set Details
========

Maximum Speed with a Timid nature and Choice Scarf lets Lilligant outspeed as many foes as possible to let it revenge kill effectively, while Special Attack EVs maximize its power. Chlorophyll is its most useful ability because it enables it to better check sun teams, whereas Own Tempo is mostly useless, as confusion isn't very common.

Usage Tips
========

Lilligant should be used to revenge kill slower Pokemon such as Archeops, Jynx, and boosted Carracosta, or sweep late-game when the opposing team is weakened. Be careful when locking into Leaf Storm or Sleep Powder, as both can be taken advantage of by setup sweepers after one use. Lilligant should usually come in after a KO or on a free switch, but it can switch into weaker Pokemon that cannot touch it such as Lanturn if necessary. Keep in mind that most opponents will assume Lilligant is using Quiver Dance, so it can potentially get a surprise KO, but don't play differently just to hide its item.

Team Options
========

Lilligant should be used on an offensive team that needs a revenge killer and has multiple setup sweepers that appreciate Healing Wish. Swords Dance Absol and Alolan Raticate, Shell Smash Carracosta, and Rock Polish Golurk are just a few such sweepers. Lilligant needs partners that can check Pokemon such as Oricorio and opposing Lilligant, which can take advantage of Choice-locked Lilligant. For example, Lanturn and Regirock can check the former, while Magmortar can check the latter. Special wallbreakers such as Alolan Raichu, Magmortar, and Oricorio-G can weaken the opposing team to allow Lilligant to clean with Energy Ball.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

The Quiver Dance set has a few move alternatives, such as Hidden Power Rock to deal with Magmortar and Oricorio, Substitute to take advantage of sleep turns and Sucker Punch, and Petal Dance with Own Tempo, which is strong but is easier to play around. Lilligant can use a more bulk-oriented EV spread to gain opportunities to potentially boost more, but this makes Lilligant much more reliant on getting a second Quiver Dance. Nature Power is also an option for Quiver Dance sets to try to hit more of the tier neutrally, but it is very inferior to Breakneck Blitz.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Fire-types**: Assault Vest Magmortar is immune to Sleep Powder thanks to Vital Spirit and can comfortably take boosted hits, whereas other Fire-types such as Turtonator can take most hits aside from Breakneck Blitz. Choice Scarf Pyroar can outspeed and OHKO +1 Lilligant.

**Fast Choice Scarf users**: Equipped with a Choice Scarf, Primeape, Jynx, Oricorio-G, Haunter, and Pyroar can outspeed and KO a slightly weakened +1 Lilligant but they lose to Lilligant if it gets two boosts.

**Flying-types**: Specially defensive Togetic can take any boosted attack and retaliate with Thunder Wave, but other bulky Flying-types like Altaria have to be cautious about Breakneck Blitz. Oricorio formes can switch in if something has been put to sleep, as they can copy Quiver Dance with Dancer. However, only Oricorio-G can take on Breakneck Blitz with hazards up.

**Other Grass-resistant Pokemon**: Ferroseed and Togedemaru can take on non-Hidden Power Fire variants, while Drampa and Sap Sipper Miltank can comfortably take on non-Hyper Beam variants, and Skuntank and Weezing can check non Z-Move variants. Muk is an excellent counter to any variant.

**Priority Users**: Piloswine's and Abomasnow's Ice Shard, Skantank's Sucker Punch, and other strong priority moves can finish off a weakened Lilligant.

**Fast Choice Scarf users**: Equipped with Choice Scarf, Primeape, Jynx, Oricorio-S, and Pyroar can allow outspeed and KO a slightly weakened Lilligant after one Quiver Dance, however they lose to it if Lilligant gets two boosts.

Oricorio forms can switch in if something has been put to Sleep as they can copy Quiver Dance's with Dancer ability, however only Oricorio-S can take on Z boosted Hyper Beam with hazards up. all vullaby can do is u-turn out tho, it's not a good switchin to quiver

**Other Grass-type resists**: Ferroseed and Togedemaru can take on non Hidden Power varients, while Guzzlord along with Sap Sipper Miltank and Drampa this seems to imply sap sipper drampa, I've only ever seen berserk can confortably take on non Hyper Beam varients, and Skuntank and Weezing can check non Z-move varients. Muk is an excellent counter to any vairent.

**Priority users**: Piloswine and Abomasnow's Ice Shard, Skantank's Sucker Punch, and other strong priorities can finish off a weakened Lilligant

QD
-i think that life orb>grassium z a lot of the time so i would have it slashed instead of that (or of leftovers)
-you can mention that sleep powder lets you dodge the most common priority that is sucker punch i guess
-calm mind colbur and specs mesprit and other stuff that lures skuntank and steel types are great partners so be sure to mention
for the same reason i would change the special wallbreakers bit to focus on stuff that can set up like a np raichu a turtonator or even a pinsir
-hp fire lanturn is amazing for hyper beam sets but you need another resist since magmortar 2hkos on the switch
-having a tspikes absorber is a bit like having stealth rock atm but i guess you could mention it especially if you are running leftovers. both qwil and skunt have good synergy so that works

Scarf
-hp fire probably has some merit but feel free to decide to add or n
-you can take some of the team options suggestions from above

OO
-mention sub which always does well in combination with sleep, also petaldance own tempo maybe lol

CC
-audino does well after sleep clause is activate and needs to be mentioned somewhere
-you can mention haunter in the scarfer bit since it can absorb a hyper beam and "take" a hit generally

===================

**Fire-types**: Assault Vest Magmortar is immune to Sleep Powder with Vital Spirit and can comfortably take boosted hits, whereas other Fire-types such as Charizard and Turtinator can take most hits aside from Z boosted Hyper Beam. Scarfed Pyroar can outspeed and kill +1 Lilligant roo.

**Fast Choice Scarf users**: Equipped with Choice Scarf, Primeape, Jynx, Oricorio-S, Haunter, and Pyroar can allow outspeed and KO a slightly weakened Lilligant after one Quiver Dance, however they lose to it if Lilligant gets two boosts.

**Flying-types**: Specially Defensive Togetic can take any boosted attack and retaliate with Thunder Wave, while other bulky Flying-types like Altaria have to be cautious about Z boosted Hyper Beam. Oricorio forms can switch in if something has been put to Sleep as they can copy Quiver Dance's with Dancer ability, however only Oricorio-S can take on Z boosted Hyper Beam with hazards up.

**Other Grass-type resists**: Ferroseed and Togedemaru can take on non Hidden Power varients, while Guzzlord and Drampa, along with Sap Sipper Miltank can confortably take on non Hyper Beam varients, and Skuntank and Weezing can check non Z-move varients. Muk is an excellent counter to any vairent.

**Priority users**: Piloswine and Abomasnow's Ice Shard, Skantank's Sucker Punch, and other strong priorities can finish off a weakened Lilligant
3/3.

[OVERVIEW]

Access to Quiver Dance along with good base Special Attack, usable Speed, and the ability to create set up setup options with Sleep Powder makes make Lilligant one of the best set up setup sweepers in the tier. Despite its shallow coverage, Lilligant can utilise Z-Moves well to break through otherwise checks such as Magmortar, Guzzlord, and Clefairy. However, Lilligant relies a lot on Z-Moves, (AC) so a misprediction can ruin its sweep. It's Its access to Healing Wish provides Lilligant with a niche as a Choice Scarf user, though it receives stiff competition from other Choice Scarf users such as Primeape, (AC) which boast better coverage and Speed. Unfortunately, Lilligant's Speed is far from perfect, (AC) meaning Quiver Dance sets are revenge killed by common Choice Scarf users such as Primeape and Haunter, whereas its Choice Scarf set fails to revenge kill fast Speed boosting sweepers like Jynx. It's Its poor physical bulk means its it's vulnerable to priority such as Piloswine's Ice Shard and Skuntank's Sucker Punch.

Moves
========

Quiver Dance provides Lilligant with crucial boosts to Speed and Special Attack to allow it to sweep, while Sleep Powder creates set up setup opportunities for Lilligant, and it can potentially dodging dodge Sucker Punch users. It's Lilligant's Grass-type STAB move is Lilligants its most important coverage, with Giga Drain providing it with passive recovery whereas Energy Ball is stronger. Notably, if using Grassium Z, Energy Ball should always be used. Hidden Power [Fire] is its best coverage if not using Normalium Z to hit Steel- and Grass-types such as Ferroseed and Abomasnow. However, Hyper Beam should only be used with Normalium Z as a one-(AH)time use to potentially take out Flying-, Fire-, or and Grass-types, (RC) like Magmortar, (RC) and opposing Lilligant

Set Details
========

Maximum Speed with a Timid nature is crucial to outspeed Choice Scarf users such as Mesprit, whereas 252 Special Attack EVs maximises maximize its power. Both Grassium Z and Normalium Z give Lilligant a one-(AH)time powerful attack nuke, however but Leftovers or Life Orb can be used if the team has a Z-(AH)Move user already, the former giving gives it passive recovery, (AC) while the latter boosting boosts its power at the cost of health. Chlorophyll allows Lilligant to destroy sun teams and is less situational than Own Tempo.

Usage Tips
========

Lilligant should primarily be used late-(AH)game as a sweeper, but can be used earlier to wallbreak with its Z-(AH)Move. Lilligant should try to come in freely, like after a KO, on something it forces out such as Lanturn, or anything slower weak to Sleep Powder, (not really sure what this bit means, as you can't really be weak to sleep powder, and it hits everything except grass-types) to set up Quiver Dance's Dance. Be careful of setting up on asleep sleeping Pokemon, (AC) and only try to get up a second Quiver Dance if its safe or necessary. Also be weary wary of setting up if the opponent has an Oricorio, (AC) as they can copy it copies Lilligant's Quiver Dance with Dancer.

Team Options
========

Lilligant should be used on offensive teams which that need a late-(AH)game sweeper with resources to help create a sweep. Entry hazard users such as Piloswine, Golurk, and Qwilfish provide crucial chip damage to wear the opponents opponent's Pokemon down, with Qwilfish being notably helpful in removing Toxic Spikes. Stealth Rock is especially useful to severely cripple Fire- and Flying-types. Special wallbreakers such as Pyroar, Riachu-A Alolan Raichu, and Jynx can weaken or KO specially defensive Pokemon that beat Lilligant. Offensive Mesprit is especially a good partner, (AC) as it can lure in and weaken Skuntank and Guzzlord (with what move?), along with other special walls, (RC) (AP). while Lanturn is a good partner, (AC) as it can check Fire- and Flying-types, and offensive sets can lure in Pokemon such as Ferroseed that which the Normalium Z set hates. Pursuit Skuntank can trap and weaken many of Lilligant's checks such as Magmortar, (RC) and Oricorio-S Oricorio-G, along with certain Choice Scarf users like Jynx and Haunter while removing Toxic Spikes.

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========

Leaf Storm is Lilligant's strongest STAB move, (AC) making it most effective as at revenge killing threats (you could also say as a revenge killer). Energy Ball does not drop Lilligant's Special Attack, (AC) making it better to use if Lilligant wants to stay in for more than 1 one turn. Healing Wish provides invaluable support to weakened teammates. Hidden Power [Rock] lets Lilligant revenge kill the Oricorio's Oricorio formes while doing more damage to Fire-types. However, Sleep Power can be used to cripple a defensive check or Pokemon it cannot KO. Lastly, Hidden Power [Fire] is another option to cripple Ferroseed or potentially revenge kill Choice Scarf Abomasnow.

Set Details
========

Maximum Speed with a Timid nature and a Choice Scarf lets let Lilligant outspeed as much as possible to let it revenge kill, (RC) while Special Attack EVs maximise maximize its power. Chlorophyll is its most useful ability it to better check sun teams, whereas Own Tempo is mostly useless, (AC) as confusion status isn't very common

Usage Tips
========

Lilligant should be used to revenge kill slower Pokemon such as Archeops, Jynx, and boosted Carracosta, or sweep late-(AH)game when the opposing team is weakened. Be careful when locking into Leaf Storm or Sleep Powder, as after one use both can be taken advantage of by set up setup sweeperv sweepers. (AP) Lilligant should usually come in after a KO or on a free switch, but it can switch into weaker Pokemon such as Lanturn that cannot touch it such as Lanturn if necessary. Keep in mind most opponents will assume Lilligant is Quiver Dance, (AC) so it can potentially get a surprise KO, but don't play differently just to hide it's its item.

Team Options
========

Lilligant should be used on an offensive team which that needs a revenge killer and have has multiple set up setup sweepers to appreciate Healing Wish. Swords Dance Absol and Raticate-A Alolan Raticate, Shell Smash Carracosta, and Rock Polish Golurk are just a few Pokemon which that appreciate Healing Wish support. Lilligant needs partners which that can check Pokemon such as Oricorio and opposing Lilligant which can that take advantage of choice Choice-(AH)locked Lilligant. For example, (AC) Lanturn and Regirock can check the former, and Guzzlord and Magmortar can check the latter. Special wallbreakers such as Raichu-A Alolan Raichu, Magmortar, and Oricorio-S Oricorio-G can weaken the opposing team to allow Lilligant to clean with Energy Ball.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

The Quiver Dance set has a few move alternatives, such as Hidden Power [Rock] (hidden power rock is on the set, so it's not really an other option. maybe try revising/deleting this part?) to cripple Magmortar and the Oricorio's Oricorio formes, Substitute to take advantage of sleep turns and Sucker Punch, or Petal Dance with Own Tempo, which is strong but is easier to play around. Lilligant can use a bulkier EV spread to gain set up setup opportunities to potentially boost more, but this makes Lilligant much more reliant on getting a second Quiver Dance more. Nature Power is also an option for Quiver Dance to try to hit more of the tier more neutrally, but is very inferior to Normalium Z Hyper Beam Breakneck Blitz.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Fire-types**: Assault Vest Magmortar is immune to Sleep Powder with Vital Spirit and can comfortably take boosted hits, whereas other Fire-types such as Charizard and (Charizard is banned from PU) Turtinator Turtonator can take most hits aside from Z boosted Hyper Beam Breakneck Blitz. Choice Scarf Pyroar can outspeed and OHKO Lilligant after a boost.

**Fast Choice Scarf users**: Equipped with a Choice Scarf, Primeape, Jynx, Oricorio-S Oricorio-G, Haunter, and Pyroar can allow outspeed and KO a slightly weakened Lilligant after one Quiver Dance, however but they lose to it Lilligant if Lilligant it gets two boosts.

Access to Quiver Dance along with good base Special Attack, usable Speed, and the ability to create setup opportunities with Sleep Powder makes Lilligant one of the best setup sweepers in the tier. Despite its shallow coverage, Lilligant can utilise utilize Z-Moves well to break through otherwise checks such as Magmortar, Guzzlord, and Clefairy. Access to Healing Wish provides Lilligant with another potential role as a niche Choice Scarf user, though it receives stiff competition from other Choice Scarf users such as Primeape, which boast better coverage and Speed. Unfortunately, Lilligant's Speed is far from ideal, meaning Quiver Dance sets are revenge killed by common Choice Scarf users such as Primeape and Haunter, whereas Choice Scarf sets fail to revenge kill fast Speed-boosting sweepers like Jynx. Its poor physical bulk means it's vulnerable to priority such as Piloswine's Ice Shard and Skuntank's Sucker Punch. The Quiver Dance set's reliance on Z-Moves mean that mispredicting can ruin its sweep.

Moves
========

Quiver Dance provides Lilligant with crucial boosts to Speed and Special Attack to allow it to sweep, while Sleep Powder creates chances for Lilligant to set up and the potential to get around Sucker Punch users. Lilligant's Grass-type STAB move is its most important coverage; Giga Drain provides it with passive recovery, (comma) whereas Energy Ball has more strength. power. If using Grassium Z, Energy Ball should always be used. Hidden Power Fire is Lilligant's best coverage coverage, if not using Normalium Z Z, to hit Steel- and Grass-types such as Ferroseed and Abomasnow. Hyper Beam should only be used with Normalium Z to potentially take out Flying-, Fire-, and Grass-types like Magmortar and opposing Lilligant.

Set Details
========

Maximum Speed investment with a Timid nature is crucial to outspeed Choice Scarf users such as Mesprit, whereas 252 Special Attack EVs maximize Lilligant's power. Both Grassium Z and Normalium Z give Lilligant a one-time powerful attack, but Leftovers or Life Orb can be used if the team has a Z-Move user already; the former gives it passive recovery, while the latter boosts its power at the cost of health. Chlorophyll allows Lilligant to destroy sun teams and is less situational than Own Tempo.

Usage Tips
========

Lilligant should primarily be used late-game as a sweeper, but it can be used earlier to wallbreak with its Z-Move. Lilligant should try to come in freely, like after a KO, on something a Pokemon that it forces out, such as Lanturn, or on a foe that is slower and vulnerable to Sleep Powder to set up Quiver Dance. Be careful when setting up on sleeping Pokemon, and only try to use a second Quiver Dance when safe or necessary. Also be wary of setting up if the opponent has an Oricorio, as it copies Lilligant's Quiver Dance with Dancer.

Team Options
========

Lilligant should be used on offensive teams that need a late-game sweeper and have resources to help create a sweep. Entry hazard users such as Piloswine, Golurk, and Qwilfish provide crucial chip damage to wear the opponent's Pokemon down, with Qwilfish being notably helpful in removing Toxic Spikes. Stealth Rock is especially useful to severely cripple Fire- and Flying-types. Special wallbreakers such as Pyroar, Alolan Raichu, and Jynx can weaken or KO specially defensive Pokemon that beat Lilligant. Offensive Mesprit is a particularly good partner, as it can lure in and weaken Skuntank and Guzzlord (Comment: :( ) along with other special walls. Lanturn is a good partner, as it can check Fire- and Flying-types, and offensive sets can lure in Pokemon that the Normalium Z set hates such as Ferroseed. Pursuit Skuntank can trap and weaken many of Lilligant's checks such as Magmortar and Oricorio-G along with certain Choice Scarf users like Jynx and Haunter while also removing Toxic Spikes.

Moves
========

Leaf Storm is Lilligant's strongest STAB move, making it most effective at revenge killing threats. Energy Ball does not drop Lilligant's Special Attack, making it better to use if Lilligant wants to stay in for more than one turn. Healing Wish provides invaluable support to weakened teammates. Hidden Power Rock lets Lilligant revenge kill Oricorio while doing more damage to Fire-types. However, Sleep Power can be used to cripple a defensive check or a Pokemon Lilligant cannot KO. Hidden Power Fire is another option to cripple deal with Ferroseed and potentially revenge kill Choice Scarf Abomasnow.

Set Details
========

Maximum Speed with a Timid nature and Choice Scarf lets Lilligant outspeed as much many foes as possible to let it revenge kill effectively, while Special Attack EVs maximize its power. Chlorophyll is its most useful ability because it enables it to better check sun teams, whereas Own Tempo is mostly useless, as confusion isn't very common.

Usage Tips
========

Lilligant should be used to revenge kill slower Pokemon such as Archeops, Jynx, and boosted Carracosta, or sweep late-game when the opposing team is weakened. Be careful when locking into Leaf Storm or Sleep Powder, as both can be taken advantage of by setup sweepers after one use. Lilligant should usually come in after a KO or on a free switch, but it can switch into weaker Pokemon that cannot touch it such as Lanturn if necessary. Keep in mind that most opponents will assume Lilligant is using Quiver Dance, so it can potentially get a surprise KO, but don't play differently just to hide its item.

Team Options
========

Lilligant should be used on an offensive team that needs a revenge killer and has multiple setup sweepers that appreciate Healing Wish. Swords Dance Absol and Alolan Raticate, Shell Smash Carracosta, and Rock Polish Golurk are just a few such sweepers. Lilligant needs partners that can check Pokemon such as Oricorio and opposing Lilligant, which can take advantage of Choice-locked Lilligant. For example, Lanturn and Regirock can check the former, and Guzzlord and while Magmortar can check the latter. Special wallbreakers such as Alolan Raichu, Magmortar, and Oricorio-G can weaken the opposing team to allow Lilligant to clean with Energy Ball.

Other Options
=============

The Quiver Dance set has a few move alternatives, such as Hidden Power Rock to cripple deal with Magmortar and Oricorio, Substitute to take advantage of sleep turns and Sucker Punch, and Petal Dance with Own Tempo, which is strong but is easier to play around. Lilligant can use a bulkier more bulk-oriented EV spread to gain opportunities to potentially boost more, but this makes Lilligant much more reliant on getting a second Quiver Dance. Nature Power is also an option for Quiver Dance sets to try to hit more of the tier neutrally, but it is very inferior to Breakneck Blitz.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Fire-types**: Assault Vest Magmortar is immune to Sleep Powder thanks to Vital Spirit and can comfortably take boosted hits, whereas other Fire-types such as Turtonator can take most hits aside from Breakneck Blitz. Choice Scarf Pyroar can outspeed and OHKO +1 Lilligant.

**Fast Choice Scarf users**: Equipped with a Choice Scarf, Primeape, Jynx, Oricorio-G, Haunter, and Pyroar can outspeed and KO a slightly weakened +1 Lilligant but they lose to Lilligant if it gets two boosts.

**Flying-types**: Specially defensive Togetic can take any boosted attack and retaliate with Thunder Wave, but other bulky Flying-types like Altaria have to be cautious about Breakneck Blitz. Oricorio formes can switch in if something has been put to sleep, as they can copy Quiver Dance with Dancer. However, only Oricorio-G can take on Breakneck Blitz with hazards up.

**Other Grass-resistant Pokemon**: Ferroseed and Togedemaru can take on non-Hidden Power Fire variants, while Guzzlord, Drampa, Drampa and Sap Sipper Miltank can comfortably take on non-Hyper Beam variants, and Skuntank and Weezing can check non Z-Move variants. Muk is an excellent counter to any variant.

**Priority Users**: Piloswine's and Abomasnow's Ice Shard, Skantank's Sucker Punch, and other strong priority moves can finish off a weakened Lilligant.
