Lopunny Legends: Z-A Guide
In Legends: Z-A, Lopunny works as a sweeper with 580 BST behind it. B-Tier on our list: a solid option in Legends: Z-A for the right team. Fakeout with Laggingtail is the standard set.
Mega Evolution isn't available in Legends: Z-A, but Lopunny does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Lopunny hits 680 BST.
In Legends: Z-A, Lopunny's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), Aerodactyl (Flying), and Espeon (Psychic), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Fairy-type attackers are also a problem.
Scrappy is the go-to ability for Lopunny. It lets the Pokémon's normal and fighting moves hit ghost Pokémon. It's Lopunny's only ability.
Lopunny is a physical attacker with base 136 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 135 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the sweeper 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 6.
