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.

Legends: Z-A Lopunny Best Moveset

Jolly nature gives Lopunny the fast physical lean it needs to trade hits effectively. Assault Vest adds a special bulk boost with no status moves allowed, max Attack and Speed EVs split the difference, and utility options punishes anything trying to wall it.

Moves

Iron Tail and Dynamic Punch bring the raw damage. But Lopunny also picks up coverage across 12 types from TMs, making it tough to find a safe switch. You're not locked into one angle here.

Lopunny Guide

  • In Legends: Z-A, Lopunny works as a pivot with 480 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Legends: Z-A's meta. Switcheroo with Assault Vest 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 580 BST.

  • In Legends: Z-A, 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.
