**To use Lopunny Mega effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Normal/Fighting type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Lopunny Mega appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Lopunny Mega fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Scrappy, Lopunnite and Jolly 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Fake Out, Close Combat, Triple Axel, Protect, Encore, and After You. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Lopunny Mega has important weaknesses to fairy 2x, fighting 2x, flying 2x, psychic 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as basculegion-male, garchomp, archaludon, pelipper, and farigiraf appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
