![[PokeCommunity.com] Lure That Pokemon! [PokeCommunity.com] Lure That Pokemon!](https://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/445.gif)
Since a lot of battlers use certain Pokemon as lures that otherwise don't see any use or are not viable in general, This thread will allow you to know some better and more efficient lures to certain major threats in the meta right now.
- I will select a threat every week, and users can post what they might think is a good lure to it but isn't useless otherwise.
- At the end of each week a winner will be decided and awarded a point.
- At the end of 10 weeks, the user with the most points will be the winner and awarded certain perks on the server and an emblem.
HOWEVER, keep this in mind; when you post a lure:
- Does this Pokemon have to sacrifice anything important? If you're losing a key part of a set just for an uncommon threat that isn't even lured in that is what we call a "bad lure", always consider what you give up in order to lure something, that is very important.
- Does this Pokemon gain anything important when using this moveset? The contrary to point number one, does this pokemon or the team benefit from the lure.
- Could this method be better aided through teammates? Does your lure need team support to carry out it's role effectively.
Examples of lure:
A bad lure
Spoiler:
Gengar @ Colbur Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Sludge Wave
- Taunt
This set wants to act as Bisharp and Scarf Tyranitar, too bad that its KOed by Sucker Punch anyway, and Crunch from Scarf Tyranitar has a good damage roll after Stealth Rocks, even if Colbur Berry halves the power of these move. You can't rely on it, and the power loss from Life Orb is too much from Gengar's usefulness and really Focus Blast will always miss

Keldeo @ Roseli Berry
Ability: Justified
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Secret Sword
- Scald
- Icy Wind
This set can act as a lure against Mega Diancie, without giving up too much from Calm Mind Keldeo, thanks to roseli berry keldeo can take a Moonblast and kill it with Scald, even at +0, paving the way for something like DD Roost Zard X, Mega Pinsir etc.
