Lurantis(JP) is a species of Pokémon of the series of the same name. It is a Grass Pokémon introduced in the seventh generation in Pokémon Sun and Moon. It evolves from Fomantis.

Physiology and Behavior[]

Lurantis is a plantlike Pokémon that resembles an insect. The top half of its head is light pink, while the bottom half is white. It has light red eyes, and two green antennae with a small green lump between them. There are four extensions to the top half of its head: two on the top with red tips that resemble ears, and one on each side with white tips that resemble stylized hair. It has a light pink body with wavy, skirt-like extensions around the waist and a green abdomen and neck. Its thin, white arms end in large, red scythes with white along the bottom rim and a single green claw on the tip. There are vertical, pink-and-red stripes down its legs, which have small, pointed green feet. The coloring and shape of Lurantis's body and arms give it the appearance of wearing a long-sleeved dress, while its legs are similar to pants. Four red, wing-like appendages sprout from its back, each tipped with white.

Lurantis both looks and smells like a flower, a trait that it exploits to lure foes in for a surprise attack. Its brilliant coloration and elegant moves have earned it acclaim as the most glamorous Grass-type Pokémon. However, it does disguise itself as a Bug Pokémon for protection. Maintaining its appearance requires detailed grooming. If a Trainer does a good job caring for it, Lurantis will have an easier time trusting them than a lazy Trainer and have gorgeous, brilliant colors.

By gathering light, Lurantis can fire laser beams using its sickle-like arms. These beams can cleave metal plates.

A special Lurantis in Alola serves as the Totem Pokémon for the Lush Jungle's Island challenge. This Lurantis possesses an energy that originates from Ultra Wormholes, which takes the form of a golden, flaring aura. This energy is called Z-Power.

Appearances[]

Main Games[]

It is the Totem Pokémon of Lush Jungle in Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. After obtaining the ingredients for Mallow, the Lurantis ambushes the player. It summons Trumbeak and Castform to its aid and holds a Power Herb. Beating it will give the player access to Grassium Z.

Origin[]

Lurantis may be based on the orchid flower along with the orchid mantis, reversing the mimetic relationship between those two organisms. It also seems to be inspired by a kimono.

Lurantis may be a combination of lure, allure, fleur (French for flower), and mantis.
