Underrated Pokemon#1(Lumineon)part1

[Gresh44]

Many pokemon as soon as created, dropped into the NU tier. This has led people to believe they havent got a chance in the UU or OU. Just the sight of stats, movepool and abilities have banished them into the abbyss. I would like to discuss these and present good arguments about their usefulness so that they may gain respect and might see the light of competitive play, and create new strategies. Right, our first subject is LUMINEON the Neon Pokemon

Lumineons stats are, quite poor generally but his movepool is quite varied, opening it into stalling, annoying or supporting cast. Though it may be a little below average in terms of other Pokes, it does have its niche(s). Its arsenal contains U-Turn(a move rarely seen on Waters), Safeguard, Tailwind, Whirlpool, Soak and the common Substitute and Rain Dance. Lumineon also doesnt suffer the moveslot dilemma that befall countless Pokemon. What it has can be utilised very well, say like this:

STALLER:
Abillity:Storm Drain
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Calm

Moves: Whirlpool
Substitute
Aqua Ring
U-Turn/Protect/Toxic/Signal Beam
The idea is simple. You switch in on a water type move to nab that SpA boost, Substitute, Aqua Ring, trap with whirlpool(even a water type), and then you can Protect for extra damage while preserving the Sub, Toxic to rack up even more passive damage, Signal Beam to wear the Opp down or if it gets tight, U-Turn.

What do u say to that?
I am finished as my time has run out so i will resume next time. If u have any comments, please make them clear and present your point well.

Until next time, BYE

Hey, I'm not sure whether or not this would belong in the Competitive Battling Center but it definitely doesn't belong here. I would PM a moderator there before making the thread there though because I seem to remember that they're not too fond of these :( Good luck finding the right place for this!
