Lopunny @ Lopunnite
Ability: Limber
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- High Jump Kick
- Return
- Quick Attack
- Fake Out
This set is pretty standard besides for quick attack but it's super important. Quick Attack is a really good option for Lopunny in monotype since not every team is packing Lando since this isn't OU Ice Punch is not nearly as necessary and Power-Up Punch is helpful for punching holes in checks like Skarm and Slowbro yet Quick Attack has its own distinct benefits. Quick Attack allows Mega-Lopunny to beat annoying Scarfers after some residual:
252 Atk Mega Lopunny Fake Out vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Hoopa Unbound: 102-121 (33.8 - 40.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock
This plus Quick Attack takes Hoopa-U relatively quickly and normal unlike most types can afford to wear down strong mobs like Hoopa-U thanks to its good defensive core in Chansey + P2. It also allows Lopunny to avoid being revenged by weakened Priority users which allows Lopunny to clean better than it could without it. This set functions very well alongside Diggersby since Diggersby's quick attack plus Lopunny's priority allow them to check on sweeper together.
