Competitive build content is not applicable for this game. Select a main series game for builds.

Moves

Lopunny Guide

  • In Legends: Arceus, Lopunny works as a pivot with 480 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Legends: Arceus's meta. Entrainment with Custapberry is the standard set.

  • Mega Evolution isn't available in Legends: Arceus, but Lopunny does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Lopunny hits 580 BST.

  • In Legends: Arceus, 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.
