Type matchups
- Normal moves do not have a common super-effective target in our chart.
When Lopunny is your opponent, Fighting hits hard.
Full type matchup guide →Mega Evolution
Lopunny can Mega Evolve into Mega Lopunny, which becomes Normal / Fighting. Mega Evolution uses Candy plus Mega Lopunny Energy, boosts Fighting attackers in the raid lobby, and only one Mega or Primal can be active at a time. Shadow Lopunny cannot Mega Evolve — purify first if you want the Mega. Mega form typing differs from base (gains Fighting).
