He probably didn’t do it on purpose. If a Pokémon has Lighting Rod, electric moves always target them. Like if your teammate tries to hit the enemy with an electric move, and you have lightning rod, the attack will hit you and raise your SpAtk

seeing that lurantis reminded me of one of these i did with randoms. that lurantis stayed with that random from start to finish, and due to it having weather ball and other special moves i decided to take accelgor at the start, since it had rain dance and acid spray. the boss at the end was landorus (I kept accelgor for rain dance because i expected groudon) and due to that lurantis, two water types, (one being a special swampert) and the accelgor using rain dance and then acid spray, we beat the thing in two turns! i'm not a shiny hunter so i claimed landorus after the fray.
