Gathering light

Lurantis
The user attacks by gathering a great deal of light, then funneling it into a huge blade to swing at its target.
PokémonMethod
UserFirst Used InNotes
LurantisLurantis basks in the sun, gathering light as its body glows a faint yellow, and forms a large ball of yellow light above its head. Then, Lurantis sticks one of its arms on it, which makes the ball expand upward into a giant blade of yellow light, before bringing the blade down onto the opponent. If the sunlight is harsh, the blade will immediately finish charging.
