The best Pokemon that take advantage of Mega Lopunny's weaknesses
Regardless, when playing a core series Pokemon game, spin-off, or POGO, it is necessary to learn a foe's weaknesses prior to battle.
Mega Lopunny is both a Normal and Fighting-type Pokemon, which makes it particularly vulnerable to Fairy, Flying, Psychic, and Fighting-type moves used against it in the mobile game. However, this raid boss is resistant to Ghost, Bug, Dark, and Rock-type moves used on it in battle.
Being a dual Fighting/Normal-type with an above-average Attack stat, there are only a few Pokemon that will be able to effectively counter the raid boss.
Trainers should use the following Pocket Monsters when battling Mega Lopunny in Pokemon GO:
Mewtwo: It should come as no surprise that this Legendary Psychic-type is the best Pokemon to counter Mega Lopunny in raids. With the moves Psycho Cut and Psystrike in its arsenal, Mewtwo will benefit greatly from STAB (Same-Type Attack Bonus) in this battle.
Moltres: Another Legendary Pokemon that will inflict massive damage on Mega Lopunny is the Fire/Flying-type, Moltres. The creature should know the fast move Wing Attack and the charged move Sky Attack to make the most of its type advantage against the raid boss.
Metagross: As a dual Steel/Psychic-type, Metagross is not affected by any of the raid boss' resistances and can also capitalize offensively with its Psychic attacks. The best moveset for Metagross to know in this scenario is Zen Headbutt paired with Psychic.
Mega Pidgeot: There's nothing quite like two Mega evolved Pokemon heading into battle against one another. In this case, Mega Pidgeot is a perfect counter to use when facing Mega Lopunny. Players will want to be sure their Mega Pidgeot is equipped with the Flying-type moves, Gust and Brave Bird, to maximize its effectiveness in the raid.
Espeon: This evolution of Eevee makes for an excellent selection to use against Mega Lopunny because it is more common than some of the others on this list, and it can still deal solid damage. If Espeon knows the move combination of Confusion paired with Psychic, the Pokemon will make an excellent counter in the raid.
Bringing in more than one of these Pocket Monsters is essential for a trainer to secure victory. Moreover, the battle has a better chance of ending in a player's favor if they challenge Mega Lopunny alongside a few of their friends.
