Which is Best?
Ultimately, which one is best comes down to the rest of your team and how each one would fit into your team. Both offer incredibly handy types and some formidable attacks, though it should be noted that a look at both legendary’s naturally learned moves shows that Solgaleo just about edges Lunala when it comes to having more heavy hitting moves.
It’s also worth noting here that both legendary Pokemon have great abilities. Lunala’s Shadow Shield reduces the amount of damage it takes while its HP is full, while Solgaleo’s Full Metal Body prevents other Pokemon’s moves or abilities from lowering its stats.
Though Lunala is vulnerable to fewer different types of attacks, it does sustain heavier damage from those it is susceptible to. While these will wipe Lunala’s health out fast, these are two weaknesses which are far more manageable than the plethora of weaknesses Solgaleo faces. Therefore, you’ll need to work out the balance of your potential team and see which one would be a better fit.
The differences between Solgaleo and Lunala are so slight that many trainers will be delighted to have either of them in their team. However, if we were going to pick an outright winner, we’d go with Lunala. Thanks to its incredibly useful Shadow Shield ability that reduces damage when at full health, Lunala will be able to hang in far longer than Solgaleo. Combined with the limited number of weaknesses Lunala faces in comparison to Solgaleo, Lunala is going to be an outright tougher Pokemon to face.
