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.
