Strategy Overview

Mega Lopunny is an incredibly dangerous sweeper and utility attacker in STABmons. Its incredible Speed stat allows it to outspeed almost all of the unboosted metagame, and its solid Attack stat allows it to hit most Pokemon hard. Its excellent STAB combination in conjunction with Scrappy gives it perfect neutral coverage with Extreme Speed and High Jump Kick. It also has an expansive movepool that contains utility options such as Fake Out, Rapid Spin, and Heal Bell as well as coverage in Ice Punch and Thunder Punch. However, Lopunny is held back by its frailty and mediocre defensive typing, which prevent it from offering good defensive synergy. Mega Lopunny also cannot hold a boosting item and does not have a particularly high Attack stat for a Mega Evolution, so its power is unexceptional without a Swords Dance boost. As a result, it struggles to break down some defensive walls, especially those that resist Fighting, and it can struggle to revenge kill threats effectively with Fake Out + Extreme Speed, especially in comparison to other Normal-types such as Porygon-Z and Ursaring.
