OKay I'm planning to get a lilligant because these really used to pown me nd I was wondering if I should teach it Petal dance or energy ball. Petal dance is more powerful and with the Own tempo ability its good put its continuous while energy ball is weaker but is not continuous and also if I pick energy ball is it worth for its other ability (the speed is sunshine) even though weak against fire p.s what item should it hold???

Petal Dance! When paired with Own Tempo,Petal dance is one of the best (If not the best) move for Lilligant. The only possible problem is that once you use the move, you can't switch out or change a move. But this problem is minimized when this attack is paired with Quiver Dance.

Petal Dance, if you're running Own Tempo Lilligant. Energy Ball is better with her other abilities.

Petal Dance allows Lilligant to hit really hard and get rewarded by removing the confusion penalty with Own Tempo. A special 180 base power move that hits 3 times without a drawback can be really devastating for the opponent (STAB + Base Power). Quiver Dance boosts can make it even more terrifying. Own Tempo isn't a hidden ability, so it's more accessible and more useful. However, it's a little bit more gimmicky than energy ball.

Energy Ball is better on Chlorophyll and Leaf Guard, because Petal Dance would confuse Lilligant. 90 Base power with a chance to lower special defense, it can be quite good. Hitting hard with a chance to be able to hit even more harder the next turn is great for Lilligant.

I would recommend Petal Dance, because it can be really powerful. Own Tempo Lilligant isn't very hard to get, so this setup is really easy to use.

I have to disagree energy ball all the way with the new ability sapsipper petal dance is dangerous confusion or not.

Petal dance is special attack...
He never said it wasn't.
Messed up... I thought it was only with regular attacks not special attacks. In that case I'm going with energy ball.
