Strategy Overview

Mega Lopunny's high Speed, good Attack stat, and near-flawless coverage between its Fighting- and Normal-type STAB moves allow the punching bunny to act as a powerful offensive Pokemon. Scrappy is the icing on the cake for Mega Lopunny, allowing it to have perfect neutral coverage through its STAB moves alone and easing the pressure Ghost-types such as Gengar, Kitsunoh, and Mega Sableye traditionally put on High Jump Kick users. Mega Lopunny's great Speed allows it to heavily threaten offensive teams by outspeeding and heavily damaging many of the fast, frail Pokemon offensive teams utilize, such as Syclant, Weavile, and even Mega Diancie. Mega Lopunny also has access to a variety of support moves, such as Healing Wish and Encore, that allows it to pressure defensive Pokemon and gives some manner of unpredictability to its sets, and it even has access to a decently powerful STAB Fake Out to help it safely Mega Evolve and to pick up chip damage on frailer Pokemon. Unfortunately, lackluster defenses prior to and after Mega Evolution hamper Mega Lopunny's ability to switch into Pokemon. Mega Lopunny also has trouble breaking through physical walls such as Tomohawk, Cyclohm, and Skarmory, and its dependence on High Jump Kick and its general hit-and-run nature leave it susceptible to being worn down through chip and recoil damage.
