Lumineon Moveset
Lumineon has a mostly Water based moveset, though has Charge Move options to cover one of it’s weaknesses:
| Fast | Charge |

- Due to the high possibility of Lumineon having a Charged Move that counters Grass, this might leave trainers limited to using Electric types to take down this boss as quick as possible. Just pay attention to the recommended counters in the raid lobby to get an idea of which moves Lumineon may have.
Final Thoughts
Lumineon is often considered one of the most forgettable Pokémon, and after analysing its challenge rating in Raids, that may likely continue into Pokémon GO as well.
