Mega Lopunny’s high Speed and Attack in conjunction with STAB priority in Fake Out allow it to function as one of the best revenge killers in the metagame. Fake Out can force a respectable amount of chip onto offensive threats like Dragapult, Choice Scarf Landorus-T, and even slower attackers who need the extra chip damage to fall to a STAB attack like Cinderace. U-Turn is a great pivoting option that takes advantage of how easily Lopunny can force switches by keeping up momentum. Lopunny also has a variety of options that can be ran over Fake Out or U-Turn, such as Ice Punch, Quick Attack, Power-Up Punch, and even Healing Wish, but these options are often situational and team-dependent, making them not as reliable. Limber is the best pre-Mega Evolution ability, preventing it from being hit from an untimely paralysis.
Lopunny fits best on bulky offense teams that appreciate the speed control and Lopunny’s ability to pivot on forced switches. As such, wallbreakers such as Choice Specs Kyurem and Choice Band Victini make excellent partners, as Lopunny can safely pivot them in on slower walls, while also being able to clean up holes in cores made by those wallbreakers. Similarly, setup sweepers such as Reuniclus and Nasty Plot Hydreigon also appreciate Lopunny’s ability to pivot them in for an opportunity to start boosting their stats. Lopunny’s defensive stats are quite subpar, so defensive walls like Clefable, Toxapex, and Hippowdon are good partners to make up for this. Magnezone can be a good teammate as well, as it can trap and remove common switchins to Lopunny, like Mega Scizor and Corviknight in addition to being able to pressure other Lopunny switchins like Clefable and Toxapex. Lastly, hazard setting from the likes of Ferrothorn, Greninja, and Garchomp is a necessity with Lopunny in order to maximize the pressure Lopunny can place on defensive cores, as well as chipping down faster foes into Fake Out range faster.
