Mega Lopunny is one of the best offensive pivots in the metagame and can function as great speed control due to its high Attack and Speed, its unresisted STAB move combination with Scrappy, and U-turn. It outspeeds every unboosted Pokemon except for Zamazenta, allowing it to pressure fast foes like Darkrai, Weavile, and Ogerpon-W. Fake Out puts many foes like Tapu Koko, Mega Diancie, and Ogerpon-W into the range of an OHKO, and it can stop setup sweepers like Iron Valiant and Iron Moth after they're weakened or by sacrificing teammates to allow Mega Lopunny to use Fake Out multiple times. U-turn enables Mega Lopunny to pivot out on checks like Landorus-T, Alomomola, and Toxapex, while Quick Attack allows it to pick off weakened setup sweepers when paired with Fake Out; especially when they manage to reach a sweeping position. Teammates like Ogerpon-W, Raging Bolt, and Hisuian Samurott benefit from Mega Lopunny threatening Steel-types like Heatran and Ferrothorn. Raging Bolt especially appreciates Mega Lopunny bringing it in against walls like Alomomola and Corviknight, while Hisuian Samurott can set Spikes with Ceaseless Edge to chip foes like Great Tusk for Mega Lopunny. Teammates with Future Sight support like Galarian Slowking and Iron Crown also pair well with Mega Lopunny, making it easier to break through foes like Toxapex. Mega Lopunny can be annoyed by Rocky Helmet on Landorus-T, Static users like Zapdos, and Flame Body users like Volcarona, so Knock Off support from Tornadus-T, Kartana, and Landorus-T, as well as partners that can threaten them, like Ogerpon-W, are greatly appreciated. Mega Lopunny switches in frequently due to its role, which makes it naturally weak to entry hazards, meaning it benefits from teammates like Landorus-T and Rotom-W that can clear them. Mega Lopunny also appreciates entry hazards from its teammates like Ferrothorn, Heatran, and Hisuian Samurott, since it forces many switches and can easily clean weakened foes.

Mega Lopunny is one of the best offensive pivots and sweepers speed control would be better here, lop can endgame but not at the consistency of other sweepers in the metagame due to its high attack, speed, STABs with few resists, and U-turn. It outspeeds every unboosted Pokemon except for Zamazenta, which allows it to pressure usually fast foes like Darkrai, Weavile, and Ogerpon-W. U-turn enables Mega Lopunny to pivot out checks like Landorus-T, Alomomola, and Corviknight, corv is a shaky check bc it's usually forced to roost after rocks, pex is a better mention while Quick Attack allows it to pick off weakened setup sweepers like Iron Valiant and Volcarona doing this into volc is insanely risky, i'd replace w smth else together with Fake Out. Fake Out puts many foes like Tapu Koko, Mega Diancie, and Ogerpon-W into the range of OHKO, and similar to Quick Attack, it can stop setup sweepers aforementioned after they're weakened or sacking teammates. Teammates like Ogerpon-W, Darkrai, darkrai beats steels just fine Raging Bolt and Hisuian Samurott benefit from Mega Lopunny threatening Steel-types like Heatran and Ferrothorn. Raging Bolt especially appreciate Mega Lopunny bringing it in against walls like Alomomola and Corviknight. see above, replace w something else. i'd also mention hsam setting spikes to push mons like tusk into range of its moves Teammates with Future Sight support like Galarian Slowking, Iron Crown, and Tapu Lele not a lot of people are actually using fsight lele (mostly used on av bc dropping anything else on choiced sets is a hard sell when u need psyshock for stuff like volc/ogerpon after tera), remove and reword also pair well with Mega Lopunny to break through foes like Toxapex. Mega Lopunny can be annoyed by Rocky Helmet on Landorus-T, Static users like Zapdos, and Flame Body users like Volcarona, so Knock Off support from Tornadus-T, Weavile, nothing listed is switching in on weavile besides volc, something like kart would be better and Landorus-T as well as partners that can threaten them like Ogerpon-W are greatly appreciated. Mega Lopunny needs to switch in frequently due to its role, which makes it naturally weak to entry hazards and benefits from teammates like Landorus-T and Rotom-W.

Mega Lopunny is one of the best offensive pivots and speed controls in the metagame due to its high attack, speed, STABs with few resists the STAB combo is actually unresisted thanks to scrappy, can say that to sell it better, and U-turn. It outspeeds every unboosted Pokemon except for Zamazenta, which allows it to pressure fast foes like Darkrai, Weavile, and Ogerpon-W. U-turn enables Mega Lopunny to pivot out checks like Landorus-T, Alomomola, and Toxapex, while Quick Attack allows it to pick off weakened setup sweepers like Iron Valiant and Iron Moth together with Fake Out. can mention how this lets u cheese sweepers that you accidentally let set up Fake Out puts many foes like Tapu Koko, Mega Diancie, and Ogerpon-W into the range of OHKO, and similar to Quick Attack, it can stop setup sweepers aforementioned after they're weakened or sacking teammates. clarify this - explain briefly the way lop teams sack mons so they can do the fake out into STAB one-two punch to ensure a kill Teammates like Ogerpon-W, Raging Bolt and Hisuian Samurott benefit from Mega Lopunny threatening Steel-types like Heatran and Ferrothorn. Raging Bolt especially appreciate Mega Lopunny bringing it in against walls like Alomomola and Slowbro Corviknight bro is literally dead lmao i havent seen it in ages, while Hisuian Samurott can set Spikes with Ceaseless Edge to chip foes like Great Tusk for Mega Lopunny. Teammates with Future Sight support like Galarian Slowking and Iron Crown also pair well with Mega Lopunny to break through foes like Toxapex. Mega Lopunny can be annoyed by Rocky Helmet on Landorus-T, Static users like Zapdos, and Flame Body users like Volcarona, so Knock Off support from Tornadus-T, Kartana, and Landorus-T as well as partners that can threaten them like Ogerpon-W are greatly appreciated. Mega Lopunny needs to switch in frequently due to its role, which makes it naturally weak to entry hazards and benefits from teammates like Landorus-T and Rotom-W that can clear them. hazard setters r p good for lop structures cus u can really force chip easily esp with koff users, maybe a bit too complicated since its dabbling into full-on teambuilding methodology but could be worth a mention
