Jolly Nature

- Power-Up Punch
- Encore
Mega Lopunny finds its niche in Monotype via its ability to wallbreak and clean up weakened teams as well as revenge kill metagame threats such as Tapu Koko and Greninja thanks to its blazing fast Speed tier. These attributes alongside great abilities before and after Mega Evolving and anunresisted STAB combination make it the defining Mega Evolution on Normal-type teams, not to mention its amiable design. Its ability to revenge kill threats to Normal teams, mainly Bisharp and Mega Sableye, is a huge boon as well. Power-Up Punch Mega Lopunny sets up on big defensive threats to Normal teams such as Toxapex. It can also come in on any Pokemon using a predicted passive move, such as a Skarmory healing or Chansey setting Stealth Rock and lock them into it with Encore for a free turn of set up, which allows it to bust through walls like Mega Venusaur. Limber also lets Mega Lopunny set up on Thunder Wave users such as Cobalion and Klefki. Great teammates include defensive Staraptor, which can give Mega Lopunny a free switch in via aslow U-turn and other Pokemon such as Porygon-Z and Diggersby, which make a great wallbreaking core when used in conjunction with Mega Lopunny. Other Pokemon such as Chansey and Porygon2 make great teammates, as they can support Mega Lopunny by wearing down the opposing team with hazards and status and provide switch-ins to Pokemon that force Mega Lopunny out.
