Espathra is powerful in that it uses the signature move Lumina Crash repeatedly to deal damage while lowering the opponent's Sp.Defense.
Great In Raids In Which Psychic Moves Are Advantageous
| Fighting | Poison |
|---|---|
| |
Lumina Crash is a Psychic move, so we recommend Fighting/Poison type raids where you can target your opponent's weak points with Psychic. On the other hand, Psychic, Dark, and Steel types, which Psychic is weaker are not recommended.
You Can Defeat It With Consecutive Attacks Depending On The Pokemon
Psychic moves can be used to exploit the weaknesses of opponents and in the case of an enemy Pokemon with low Sp. Defense, consecutive Lumina Crash attacks can be used to quickly finish the battle. Depending on the raid, it may be easier to just use this move consecutively.

Mints can be used to turn Nature into Modest. If you don't have one, go to Chansey Supply in Mesagoza or other towns and buy one for 2,000 Pokedollars. However, if the original Nature is Modest already, there is no need to use Mints.

As a Special Attacker, it is recommended to maximize firepower, so distribute all of the resources to Sp. Attack. In order to increase durability and make it harder to get knocked down, distribute to HP and the rest to Speed. Another option is add a little extra to Speed to some extent to make it easier to get the first move.
