How to Get Mega Lopunny

You cannot catch Lopunny in its mega evolved form from the raid. The mega raid boss is always catchable in its base form and as such, the CP ranges are for a regular Lopunny.

Lopunny can be caught with the following CP values:

• 1112- 1177 CP at level 20, no weather boost
• 1391- 1471CP at level 25 with Partly Cloudy or Cloudy weather boost

In order to get Mega Lopunny you will need 200 Mega Energy for the initial evolution, then 40 Mega Energy to evolve the same Lopunny again in the future. If you wait for their ‘cooldown’ period to end, Mega Evolution is free. This cooldown period is shorter the higher mega level your Mega Pokémon is. Mega Energy can be obtained via Mega Lopunny Raids, and once you have evolved Mega Lopunny, you can earn 5 Mega Energy per candy while walking it as your buddy. You can walk any Buneary or Lopunny to earn Mega Energy, as long as you have previously evolved one to register it to your Mega Pokédex.

Shiny Lopunny

Like all Mega Raid Bosses, you can catch the shiny version of Lopunny from a raid.

Mega Lopunny Moveset Analysis

Pound and Hyper Beam have STAB but you shouldn’t be worrying about them too much. The Normal moves do not deal super-effective damage to any type. Pound is honestly an underwhelming move and Hyper Beam, though capable of devastating damage, is easy to dodge.

Low Kick and Focus Blast have the same story as Pound and Hyper Beam. They gain STAB, the fast move is underwhelming and the charge move can do quite a number and is easy to dodge.

Fire Punch can be quite spammy and one should be wary of this.

It should be understood that Lopunny has a very impressive ATK stat of 282. So its moves, though decent, can deal some neat damage.

Conclusion

Mega Lopunny will have the highest Normal type DPS on its release and its Fighting type performance would be kind of similar to Shadow Machamp. So while Mega Lopunny doesn’t really have the best moves, one shouldn’t take this fighting bunny for granted. At the end of the day, Mega Lopunny is definitely a Pokémon that deserves your attention.

Happy raiding, everyone! 🙂
