Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Mega Lopunny in Pokemon GO?
Mega Lopunny's best moveset is Pound (fast) and Hyper Beam (charged), providing 17.6 DPS as a Normal-type attacker. This combination maximizes damage output thanks to STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus), strong energy generation from the fast move, and high DPE (damage per energy) on the charged move.
What are Mega Lopunny's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Mega Lopunny is weak to Fairy, Fighting, Flying, Psychic-type moves. On the other hand, Mega Lopunny resists Ghost, Bug, Dark, Rock-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Mega Lopunny effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Mega Lopunny's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Mega Lopunny's maximum CP is 4,234 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 3,745 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Mega Lopunny's CP is calculated from its base stats: 282 Attack, 214 Defense, and 163 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Mega Lopunny caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 2,140 CP, or 2,675 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Mega Lopunny?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Mega Lopunny has the following CP at key levels: 1,605 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 2,140 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 2,675 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 4,234 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Mega Lopunny, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Mega Lopunny ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Mega Lopunny in Pokemon GO?
Mega Lopunny is obtained by evolving its pre-evolution (Lopunny with Candy).
