- U-turn / Quick Attack / Triple Axel

[SET COMMENTS]
With virtually perfect coverage thanks to Scrappy and a high Attack stat, Mega Lopunny is an excellent choice of speed control that can help pressure the many bulky Steel-types in the tier, such as Ferrothorn, Gholdengo, and Kingambit. Fake Out is one of Mega Lopunny's most valuable tools, as it can revenge kill weakened threats such as Speed Booster Energy Iron Valiant and Scale Shot Garchomp. U-turn makes use of Mega Lopunny's ability to force out many Pokemon by generating momentum to continue applying pressure, but Quick Attack can be used instead to further improve Mega Lopunny's revenge killing capabilities. Triple Axel is another option that can OHKO Gliscor, Landorus-T, and Dragonite, as well as dealing heavy damage to Great Tusk and Mega Latios.

Mega Lopunny is a staple for many balance and bulky offense teams as a great speed control and revenge killer. Wallbreakers such as Raging Bolt, Tapu Lele, and Kyurem appreciate Mega Lopunny bringing them onto the field and in return can threaten out its checks such as Toxapex, Great Tusk, and Zapdos. Mega Lopunny can also help put pressure on their checks in return, such as Gholdengo and Ferrothorn. Other pivots such as Landorus-T and Tapu Koko can form a VoltTurn core with Mega Lopunny, with the former setting Stealth Rock and both being able to break Toxapex. In return, Mega Lopunny helps break Ting-Lu and Ferrothorn. Since Mega Lopunny forces a lot of switches, entry hazard setters such as Ting-Lu, Hisuian Samurott, and Ferrothorn make good teammates. Due to Mega Lopunny's low defenses and weakness to hazards, defensive Pokemon such as Gholdengo, Ferrothorn, and Zapdos also make great partners, as they can switch into Fairy-, Fighting-, and Flying-type attacks from Iron Valiant and opposing Zapdos. Hazard removal from Terapagos, Zapdos, and Great Tusk is also greatly appreciated to prevent Mega Lopunny from accumulating too much chip damage from hazards.

With virtually perfect coverage thanks to Scrappy, Mega Lopunny is an excellent choice of speed control for many balance and bulky offense teams its more important to talk about what mlop can break, archetypes goes start of p2. Fake Out is one of Mega Lopunny's most valuable tools as it can put chip on the opposing pokemon and potentially put them into KO range. U-Turn makes use of Lopunny's ability to force out many pokemon by generating momentum to continue applying pressure but Quick Attack can be used instead to further improve Lopunny's revenge killing capabilities what can it rkill with quick attack? low hp scarf shifu etc. Triple Axel is another option that can OHKO Gliscor, Landorus-T, and Dragonite, as well as dealing heavy damage to Great Tusk and Mega Latios. traxel hits these asw

Need sentence on archtypes
Wallbreakers such as Raging Bolt, Tapu Lele, and Kyurem appreciate Lopunny bringing them onto the field and in return can threaten out Lopunny's checks such as Toxapex, Great Tusk, and Zapdos. Lopunny can also help put pressure on their checks in return, such as Gholdengo and Ferrothorn. Other pivots such as Landorus-T and Tapu Koko can form a VoltTurn core with Lopunny and continuously apply pressure. what else do these do for mlop? both break pex, and lando can set rocks. then say what mlop does in return Due to Lopunny's low defenses, a strong defensive backbone made of pokemon such as Zapdos, Gholdengo, and Ting-Lu make good teammates. Need to elaborate a lot more on what these can switch in on for mlop, as well as stuff like fogging and setting for mlop

Triple Axel is another option that can OHKO Gliscor, Landorus-T, and Dragonite, as well as dealing heavy damage to Great Tusk and Mega Latios.

With virtually perfect coverage thanks to Scrappy and a high attack stat, Mega Lopunny is an excellent choice of speed control that can help pressure the many bulky steel types in the tier, such as Ferrothorn and Gholdengo can mention Kingambit here as it’s just as relevant as these two. Fake Out is one of Mega Lopunny's most valuable tools as it can put chip on the opposing pokemon and potentially put them into KO range this can be rephrased as this can revenge kill weakened threats (like booster Iron Val, boosted Volcarona, Scale Shot Garchomp. . U-Turn makes use of Lopunny's ability to force out many pokemon by generating momentum to continue applying pressure but Quick Attack can be used instead to further improve Lopunny's revenge killing capabilities against faster pokemon, such as low hp Choice Scarf Urshifu and Dragon Dance Dragonite can expand on the ones I stated above as these are more relevant to what lop tries to revenge kill. Triple Axel is another option that can OHKO Gliscor, Landorus-T, and Dragonite, as well as dealing heavy damage to Great Tusk and Mega Latios.

1/1 GP Team done
well done! as a general note, should always put Mega Lopunny instead of just lopunny, and types when mentioned as a noun have a dash like Fairy-type for example. Here's a copypaste from the guide to new writers:
  • The word 'Pokemon' must always have a capital P. Analyses also do not use the e accent. Do not say ‘mons’.
  • Capitalization: All Pokemon names, move names, item names, ability names etc need to have capital letters. You can check the formatting they have on PS. For example, Flare Blitz not flare blitz or Flare blitz.
  • These names should always be written out, so Swords Dance not SD, and Assault Vest not AV.
  • The exact formatting of move names is also important. Notable move names to check for:
    • Stealth Rock, not Rocks. The same also applies to Sticky Web; do not say Webs or Sticky Webs.
    • U-turn, not U-Turn.
  • Type names: There are formatted as Water-types, not Water Types or water types.
  • Pokemon forme (not form) names:
    • Regional forme names: (such as Alolan/Galarian/Hisuian formes) are formatted as Galarian Slowking not Slowking-Galar/Slowking-G. The region name goes first; note that this differs from the PS teambuilder. Use Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian, or Paldean as the region indicator before the name.
    • Other forme names: Forme names don't include the whole word but instead just one letter to identify the forme. Therefore, Landorus-T is correct, and Landorus-Therian is not. This also differs from the PS teambuilder. Base formes (Landorus, Ogerpon etc) do not need hyphens, so it’s just Landorus not Landorus-I.
keep improving!! great to see it :blobthumbsup:
