Hello students! My name is Professor Geekbeak, and today, I wish to draw attention to Mega Lopunny. Mega Lopunny might not be the only Fighting Type mega anymore, but it is still pretty strong. Grab your notebooks, class is in session. For those who wish to do their research independently, our raw data can be found here. And for those who wish for a simple visual guide, go ahead and take a look at the below visual guide by CaptGoldfish.

Course Schedule

This raid will be taking place from June 10th to June 16th. It will be preceded by Mega Audino and Reshiram, coincide with Zekrom, and be followed by Mega Scizor and Necrozma.

Fighting types have plenty of weaknesses, however, be careful, as Mega Lopunny knows a variety of charge moves, some of which could be super effective.

Effectiveness	Types
Double Resist (0.4x)	Ghost
Resist (0.6x)	Rock Bug Dark
Neutral	Normal Poison Ground Steel Fire Water Grass Electric Ice Dragon
Super Effective (1.6x)	Fighting Flying Psychic Fairy
Double Super Effective (2.6x)	—

Mega Lopunny’s moveset includes the following charge moves:

• Hyper Beam
• Fire Punch
• Focus Blast
• Triple Axel

The Dean’s List consists of the top 5 counters to Mega Lopunny. As always, the Valedictorian, Salutatorian, and the Third Ranked will have their best moveset alternatives in a table with their rankings and a table detailing their defensive prowess against the charge moves listed above.

Overall, Mega Lopunny is a pretty easy raid. You might even be able to solo this raid, with the right conditions. Of course, if you wish to do more research on your box’s best Pokémon for the job, Pokebattler.com itself can be a great help! Remember, the best counter is the one you have powered up and ready to go. I grant extra credit to those who use their best friend bonus and the weather to their advantage. Class dismissed!
