In the current meta, mons like zekrom and groudon can be a huge problem when they set up. And when they have sub this can stop ditto from being a reliable check. Lunala is able to easily beat these Dynamax sweepers whether or not they Dynamax.
Using this set, if a Groudon comes in and uses sd using will o wisp then if it dynamaxes u can spam roost, and if it doesn't you can use roar. Lunala's ability allows it to take half damage when at full health allowing it to tank a hit from 2x ATK Groudon. Using Heavy-duty-boots on lunala is very helpful that way you don't lose your ability affect to rocks. As for Zekrom, using will o wisp can also work but in the case of substitute, you can use roar. Lunala is also capable of taking out zygarde dd using ice beam. In case you want to kill those mons, ice beam is very helpful since it's super effective. Here are some calcs:
As you can see, lunala is capable of surviving a hit against those Dynamax sweepers allowing it to burn or roar them. But lunala is also capable of being offensive.
Using this set you can use meteor beam to boost your spa atk then use either moongeist or ice beam to sweep. In the case of a chansey or blissey, you can repeat meteor beam to keep boosting your special attack. You can also roost in case you get damaged. While this set wouldn't work great on its own, sticky web is a helper to this set. If the opponents were to be slowed by sticky web it would allow you to go faster than mons like zacian or calyrex. The increased sp atk from meteor beam would help do better damage and if you want you could Dynamax. This set, unfortunately, gets beat by yveltal offensive and calyrex scarf. Here are some calcs:
As you can see, lunala is capable of cripling some of the best Dynamax sweepers in the meta by using will o wisp and roar. It's also capable of surviving against those sweepers. It can also be offensive and deal some good damage to its opponents using a meteor beam then moongeist beam/ice beam. This mon is one of the most reliable checks for groudon and zekrom in the meta and it deserves to go to A+.

Using this set you can use meteor beam to boost your spa atk then use either moongeist or ice beam to sweep. In the case of a chansey or blissey, you can repeat meteor beam to keep boosting your special attack. You can also roost in case you get damaged. While this set wouldn't work great on its own, sticky web is a helper to this set. If the opponents were to be slowed by sticky web it would allow you to go faster than mons like zacian or calyrex. The increased sp atk from meteor beam would help do better damage and if you want you could Dynamax. This set, unfortunately, gets beat by yveltal offensive and calyrex scarf. Here are some calcs:

As you can see, lunala is capable of cripling some of the best Dynamax sweepers in the meta by using will o wisp and roar. It's also capable of surviving against those sweepers. It can also be offensive and deal some good damage to its opponents using a meteor beam then moongeist beam/ice beam. This mon is one of the most reliable checks for groudon and zekrom in the meta and it deserves to go to A+.
