Overview
The first Fighting Type Mega Evolution released in Pokemon Go, Mega Lopunny is useful on release, but destined to be outclassed in the future. For those tackling this raid, the fairly unique mix of Fighting and Normal gives a number of hugely powerful Pokemon a chance to shine. The duo is achievable, but difficult. For this reason, our guide will focus on the trio.
Approach
- Shadow Mewtwo mutilates Mega Lopunny, and is the top counter.
- Normal Mewtwo follows close behind
- Mega Pidgeot is the strongest Mega Evolution counter, while Mega Lopunny is the most useful for most common raid groups
- The powerful Fighting Types are good all-around choices
- Movesets can make a strong difference for some counters, building your team for individual movesets can be helpful
Battling Strategy
- Dodging is very important for a duo, but not as important for a trio.
