Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Lopunny's spread. It leans physical with Speed out front. And you'll get 2 Speed EVs per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Its fur is warm and yet remarkably light. This Pokémon kicks as though it were a master of karate, driving back its opponents with ease.
Lopunny Weakness
Lopunny is weak to Fighting. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost-type moves entirely. With 65 HP and balanced defenses, Lopunny can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Sun & Moon Lopunny Best Moveset
Focus Sash guarantees Lopunny survives one hit from full HP. That's enough to deal early damage and fire off Fakeout before going down. Cutecharm and max HP and Speed EVs maximize first-turn impact.

Lopunny Guide
In Sun & Moon, Lopunny works as a pivot with 480 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Sun & Moon's meta. Fakeout with Focus Sash is the standard set.
In Sun & Moon, yes. Mega Lopunny is the evolved form, sitting at 580 BST. Big power spike over base Lopunny (480). Equip the Mega Stone and it transforms in battle.
In Sun & Moon, Lopunny's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
Cute Charm is the go-to ability for Lopunny. It has a 30% chance of infatuating attacking Pokémon on contact. Its hidden ability Limber can work in specific setups. Klutz is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.
Lopunny is leaning toward the physical side (base 76 Attack). Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 105 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the pivot role.
Game Availability
Available since Diamond & Pearl, Lopunny appears in 13 games spanning 7 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Mega form in Generation 7.
