Lilligant is a cute Grass-type Pocket Monster in Pokemon GO, which is the second-stage evolution of Petilil, also a Grass-type critter. There is a new event in GO called the Harvest Festival, where you can find this Pocket Monster being featured alongside many others. So, if you managed to catch a few of these Grass-type creatures, you might want to use them in some way.

While Petilil by itself might be useless in the game, its evolution could be the missing piece to your puzzle in terms of PvP battles in the GO Battle League.

In this article, we will look at the best moveset for Lilligant in PvP and PvE. We will also walk you through the best counters for this Grass-type Pocket Monster.

It would be impossible for Lilligant to stand out from the rest of Grass-type Pocket Monster across all the formats of the GO Battle League.

This creature is not efficient at energy generation, and it lacks a good bulk stat. As a result, you would be better off using something like Venusaur or Sceptile to provide the Grass-type coverage in your team.
