Pokemon #7-Lilligant

Lilligant is a Pokemon that was intoduced in Generation 5(Black,White).It is number 55 in the Unova Pokedex and number 549 in the National Pokedex.It is said that even veteran trainers face a challenge in getting its beautiful flowers to bloom.Also this Pokemon is popular with celebrities.
Lilligant is a pretty cool Pokemon.It is a pure Grass-type,with three abilities,ok stats and movepool.The main point of Lilligant though is Quiver Dance.The access to Quiver Dance makes Lilligant one of the best Grass-type sweeper.Lilligant gets a very nice support to Quiver Dance from its stats.The offensive side is good (60 Base Att,110 Base Sp.Att,90 Base Speed)while the defensive side is just fine to support Quiver Dance sets(70 Base HP,75 Base Def,75 Base Sp.Def).The three abilities that it gets are Chlorophyll,which boosts the speed of the Pokemon in the sun,Own Tempo which doesn't let the Pokemon become Confused and,through the Dream World,Leaf Guard,which heals all the status problems of the Pokemon in the Sun.So,let's take a look at some possible sets.

Quiver Dance
-Quiver Dance
-Petal Dance/Leaf Strom
-Sleep Powder
-Hidden Power Fire/Hidden Power Ground
Item:Leftovers
Ability:Own Tempo/Chlorophyll
EVs,Nature:
252 Speed,252 Sp.Attack,4 HP
Modest(+Sp.Att,-Att)/Timid(+Speed,-Att)

This is a pretty effective,but at the same time easy to use set.Put your opponent to sleep with Sleep Powder and then set up as many Quiver Dances you can/want.Petal Dance hits very hard with STAB and it doesn't confuse you,because of Own Tempo.Hidden Power Fire is there for type coverage.If you use this Lilligant set in the sun,you could change the ability into Chlorophyll and instead of Petal Dance use Leaf Storm,but that's your choice.

Support/Double Status
-Aromatherapy/Synthesis
-SolarBeam
-Sleep Powder
-Stun Spore/Toxic
Item:Leftovers
Ability:Leaf Guard
EVs,Nature:
252 HP,126 Sp.Def,130 Def
Bold(+Def,-Att)/Calm(+Sp.Def,-Att)

With this set you definitely need Sun on the field.So,bring a Drought Ninetales.Aromatherapy is a cool move if you want to get rid of the status conditions inyour team.Instead of Aromatherapy,though,you can go with Synthesis,which in the Sun heals nearly 3/4 of your maximum HP.SolarBeam is amazing in the Sun,hitting very hard with STAB,but having poor type coverage,but this is a support set so you only need one or two moves.Sleep Powder in combination with Stun Spore/Toxic is just amazing.Put your opponent to sleep,then predict the switch and give them another status condition.Toxic would be more beneficial than Stun Spore,as you can stall your opponent with Synthesis and slowly wear him/her down.Stun Spore can be good,if you don't want to have troubles with the Steel-Types that cannot get Poisoned.

Counters
Lilligant is only difficult to counter after a few Quive Dances.In general it's pretty easy to take it down.Heatran is a very effective counter to both sets,resisting all moves,but keep in mind that in some rare cases Lilligant can pack HP Ground.Salamance is awesome against Lilligant.It can come in take,all moves from it and easily KO or set up on its face.Same with Hydreigon.It can come in,resisting all moves OHKO with Fire Blast or Flamethrower.Virizion is good against it,resisting its STAB,being able to take two +2 Hidden Power Fire and set up with Sword Dance.

Cool Info:Lilligant is the only non-Bug type Pokemon that learns Quiver Dance.

Have a nice day.
