Lopunny is a Normal-type Pokemon in Pokemon GO. Evolved from Buneary using 50 Candies, Lopunny evolves into a Mega form using 200 Mega Energy. By learning the Pokemon’s strengths, movesets and counters, you’ll have an easier time completing battles and raids. This guide provides information on the best Movesets and various Counters for Lopunny in Pokemon GO.

The Best Movesets and Counters for Lopunny in Pokemon GO

 

The best moveset to use with Lopunny in Pokemon GO is Pound and Hyper Beam. These moves provide the highest DPS output and Same-Type attack bonuses compared to Low Kick, Fire Punch and Focus Blast. Furthermore, while a move like Fire Punch has lower EPS, the DPS reduction greatly outweighs the benefit of using it.

What Counters Lopunny?

Since Lopunny is a Normal-type, it is only weak against Fighting-type moves. Fighting-type moves deal 160% increased damage against Lopunny during combat. However, Lopunny is also resistant against Ghost-type moves, with these only dealing 39% of their usual damage. Considering this, the following Pokemon are examples of those that are strong against Lopunny in Pokemon GO:

  • Machamp: Counter and Dynamic Punch
  • Lucario: Counter and Aura Sphere
  • Conkeldurr: Counter and Dynamic Punch
  • Heracross: Counter and Close Combat
  • Blaziken: Counter and Focus Blast

Thankfully, you don’t have to worry too much if you do not have any of these five Pokemon in your party. As long as you have at least one Pokemon with Fighting-type moves in your roster, you’ll have an easier time defeating Lopunny in battle. Similarly, if you’re using Lopunny in battle, try to avoid using the Pokemon against Fighting-types. If you’re up against a Ghost-type, though, use Lopunny’s resistance against them!
