*Finally, Wallbreakers like mew can beat bulky threats which Lopunny struggles against.
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
*Encore can lock a pokemon into setup, letting Lopunny easily beat them.
* Thunder punch can be used to beat Gyarados. Against Adamant Mega Gyarados, fake out turn one, then thunderpunch turn two. If they mega turn two, you hjk next turn, if they don’t they’re in range of tpunch next turn no matter what. Either way, they can neither OHKO at neutral or outspeed at +1. Be careful of the rarer jolly variant of Mega Gyarados, who will be able to outspeed and knock out Mega Lopunny at +1
*Substitute can be used as a way to beat status on the all-out attacking set.
*However, the opportunity cost of running these those movies is normally too high to justify using.
Checks and Counters
===================
*Bulky Attackers: Pokemon that can take a hit and ko it back, such as Magearna, Mega Metagross, Mega Heracross, and Kommo-o are good counters to Mega Lopunny.
*Faster Threats: Pokemon that outspeed and ko mega Lopunny, although rare, prove to be a pretty hard counter. This includes Deoxys-speed, Scarf Darmanitan, pheromosa, scarf Haxorus, and scarf Porygon-z
*Physical tanks: Pokemon that are capable of taking hits from Lopunny tend to be decent checks. This includes, but not limited too, Mega Aggron, Mega Slowbro, and Zygarde.
