Pokémon VGC Theorycrafting: Lopunny Rain Team Guide
Resumo
In the Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server, members are actively theorycrafting a unique Lopunny rain and snow hybrid team. The discussion covers strategic adjustments, including the integration of Aerodactyl for tailwind support and wide guard, as well as optimizing leads for different weather modes. This collaborative effort highlights the depth of competitive team building and tactical planning within the community.

Rn i am not sold on mega lass over some other mega, looking for advice
yo! post your latest version, i wanna procrastinate 😛
One sec

firstly since he's on my mind i'd suggest toed with life orb, replace hydro with muddy water
Something broke on my team
Can work since im still very much on the edge of dropping gholdengo
yea gholdy and fross on the same team maybe not great
Im thinking either gambit or aero
gambit makes you have 3 weak to ground
aero could be good as it can bait electric attacks whcih yo ujust swap to arch to tank and trigger a def boost
Yea and with aero i can easily have tailwind back on the team if i want and gives me wide guard
I think im gonna do that
what way do you split it for modes?
So snow mode is usually froslass and sneasler lead since naturally they both go first so usually sneasler can burst down a target or failing that, usually leave it in ko range for blizzard
And rain is leading arch and toed
whos in the back for each?
Depends, if i bring froslass, im generally not bringing lopunny so for the snow its usually sneasler/froslass in the front with arch and go in the back
And in rain, im usalling got lopunny and sneasler/go
But i think with aero that should give me more modes and leads
this is what im thinking:
mode 1 = pure rain mode - Lead politoed & aero, aero tailwind, poli pivonts to arch immediately. bunny in the back for cleanup duty
mode 2 = snow rain - lead fross & snease, make em last as long as you can, then bring in the toed and arch
arch can tank some moved for fross, and fross can tank fighting moves for arch if you need
So what should i run in terms of aero?
Rock Slide, duel wing, tailwind, wide guard if it sees use, protect otherwise
Okay
OR if you never use protect i could have another offensive move, ice fang maybe but you've got plenty of ice already tbh
id run the wide guard for a while and see if you find yourself wishing for anything consistently during fights
Now for item
sash is probably mandatory
Lets try sash since i dont really have anything that needs it more
helps get the tailwind off
im curious about how this goes tbh 😄
Its been a pretty solid team, but im thinking about maybe swapping sitrus berry for damp rock on toed
lorb!
Lorb will make it a very different mon
its pretty great with lorb
lorb
!
the idea of tailwind in the rain mode should mean you win before rain runs out, or just as you swap to bunny, so damp would be wasted
Yea true, never actually tried lorb on toed tbh
it will mean he kills himself sometimes but that can help pivot in the bunny
Yea and its not easy to pivot in the bunny without risk
exactly
But thats my life i chose when i picked to main mega lopunny
we can make it work, we can do it !
Okay dropped my car off to get repaired, now to do more testing
Well first game vs rain, tried to keep their swampert shut off but i wasnt able to
(Note to self, dont bring toed)
