How to use Lopunny in the current VGC format

Lopunny is listed as a Normal type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Lopunny fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Limber, Lopunnite and Jolly 32/0/2/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Close Combat, Fake Out, Protect, Triple Axel, Encore, and After You. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Lopunny has important weaknesses to fighting 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as garchomp, sinistcha, pelipper, volcarona, and primarina appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
