[SET COMMENTS]
Hisuian Lilligant is a dangerous sweeper due to its high Attack, Chlorophyll-boosted Speed in sun, and access to Victory Dance, which allows it to set up on physical attackers like Great Tusk, Hisuian Samurott, and Kingambit. In sun, Hisuian Lilligant can use its Grass-type STAB move Solar Blade without the drawbacks of the normal two-turn charge. Ice Spinner allows it to hit common checks that resist both of its STAB types such as Zapdos, Amoonguss, Dragapult, and Dragonite for super effective damage. Leftovers in particular works well with Victory Dance, as Hisuian Lilligant is able to heal from some of the damage it takes while it sets up on physical attackers. Life Orb is an option that helps Hisuian Lilligant overwhelm some targets with extra power like Walking Wake, OHKOing it with Close Combat after a Victory Dance. A Jolly nature allows it to Speed tie Unburden-boosted Adamant Sneasler in sun, while an Adamant nature provides extra power that may be necessary to overwhelm targets like Zapdos, Amoonguss, and Zamazenta. Tera Ghost allows Hisuian Lilligant to spinblock and threaten some of its best checks in Galarian Slowking, Gholdengo, and Skeledirge with Tera Blast. Tera Ghost also allows Hisuian Lilligant to block Extreme Speed from Dragonite, preventing revenge kills. Tera Fire with Tera Blast is also an option, giving Hisuian Lilligant a strong sun-boosted Fire-type STAB move for coverage to hit bulky targets like Amoonguss and Gholdengo hard. Another benefit of Tera Fire is an immunity to Will-O-Wisp. Hisuian Lilligant requires Torkoal as a partner, as Hisuian Lilligant requires sun support, which Torkoal is able to set up automatically with Drought. Hisuian Lilligant’s ability to weaken Water-types and opposing team structures makes Iron Moth a dangerous late-game sweeper in sun. Hisuian Lilligant is only able to afford to run one coverage move, which can leave it vulnerable to checks it cannot afford to run coverage for, such as Galarian Slowking, Gholdengo, Amoonguss, and Moltres. Great Tusk, Sandy Shocks, and Walking Wake are all great teammates capable of handling some of the aforementioned checks. Great Tusk and Sandy Shocks threaten Galarian Slowking, Gholdengo, and Moltres. Walking Wake is able to break Amoonguss with Draco Meteor, as well as blow past Moltres, which is usually able to wall Hisuian Lilligant.
