Lurantis (Japanese: ラランテス Lalantes) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

It evolves from Fomantis when leveled up in the day starting at level 34.

Biology

Lurantis is a plant-like Pokémon that appears to resemble an insect. The top half of its head is light pink, while the bottom half is white. It has light red eyes and two green antennae with a small green lump between them. There are four extensions to the top half of its head: two on the top with red tips that resemble ears, and one on each side with white tips that are similar to stylized hair. It has a light pink body with short extensions around the waist and a green abdomen and neck. Its thin, white arms end in large, red scythes with white along the bottom rim and a single green claw on the tip. There are vertical, pink-and-red stripes down its legs, which have small, pointed green feet. The coloring and shape of Lurantis's body and arms give it the appearance of wearing a long-sleeved dress, while its legs are similar to pants. Four red, wing-like appendages sprout from its back, each tipped with white.

Lurantis both looks and smells like a flower, a trait that it exploits to lure in foes so it can spring a surprise attack. It also disguises itself as a Bug Pokémon for self-defense. Its brilliant coloration and elegant moves earn it acclaim as the most glamorous Grass-type Pokémon. Maintaining its appearance requires detailed grooming. If a Trainer does a good job caring for it, Lurantis will have an easier time trusting them than a lazy Trainer.^[1]

Lunrantis is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Solar Blade.

Trivia

Origin

Clarified in its Pokédex entries, (and backed up by a lack of Bug typing, as well as its pre-evolution's name is various languages meaning "false" or "mimic",) Lurantis would appear to be a conceptually reversed interpretation of an orchid mantis. That being of a living flower, which pretends to be an insect as a form of self-protection.

Name origin

Lurantis may be a combination of lure, allure, fleur (French for flower), and mantis.

Lalantes may be a combination of 蘭 ran (orchid) and a corruption of mantis.
