Lopunny Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Lopunny works as a pivot with 480 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's meta. Fakeout with Focus Sash is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra 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.
