Lurantis (ラランテス, Rarantesu?) (loor-RAN-tis[1]) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Lurantis is a plant-like Pokémon with insectoid traits. Its body has shades of pink with white accents. 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. Its forearms resembles a mantis's arm and are each tipped with a green claw.
Behavior[]
Lurantis are able to defeat their enemies with their elegant appearance and pleasant-smelling aroma. Due to their beautiful moves and bright coloration, Lurantis are said to be the most beautiful of all Grass-type Pokémon. Also, they dislike lazy Trainers, preferring those who would look after them with care. With enough care from its Trainer, a Lurantis will display vivid colors.
Lurantis feeds on small bird Pokémon and their eggs, which it lures to itself by imitating a bug Pokémon or a flower, before attacking any unsuspecting victims.
Natural abilities[]
Lurantis can use their sickle-shaped petals to fire devastating energy beams by drawing sunlight, which have enough strength to slice through thick metal plates.
Evolution[]
Lurantis evolves from Fomantis starting at level 34 during the day.

The petals on this Pokémon's arms are thin and super sharp, and they can fire laser beams if Lurantis gathers light first.

Trivia[]
- Despite having a feminine look, Lurantis is able to have a 50% chance of being male or female.
Origin[]
Lurantis is based on the concept of an orchid mantis, but reversed. Orchid mantises use their color and claws to look like flowers, however, Lurantis is based on a flower imitating a mantis, explaining why it is a Grass-type Pokémon instead of a Bug-type Pokémon. Its body also resembles a kimono dress.
Etymology[]
Lurantis comes from lure, fleur (French for "flower") and mantis.
