What is a good EV spread for my Mega Loppuny?
I’m trying to make a physical sweeper out of a mega Loppuny but I’m having trouble with the EVs/Nature. The moves I want to have are as follows:
Hi Jump KickDrain PunchDizzy PunchBounce
My problem is I want to have some Hp EVs in there (for hi jump kick), but I still want Loppuny to outspeed most enemies.
Also, let me know if there are any changes to move set I should make? Thanks!

Lopunny-Mega @ LopunniteAbility: ScrappyEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Fake Out- High Jump Kick- Return- Ice PunchEV Spread:By maxing out the Speed EVs and using a Jolly Nature, I made Lopunny as fast as possible. This is important because you want an offensive Pokemon like Lopunny to dish out hits first; by doing this, you minimize the amount of damage it will take. I used a Jolly Nature over others because it raises Speed while lowering Special Attack, which is fine because this set has no Special moves. I maximized the Attack EVs so Lopunny can hit as hard as possible and put the extra 4 EVs into Special Defense because most attacks aimed at it will be Special (Fairy and Psychic, 2/3 of its weaknesses, mainly use Special moves).Moveset:Fake Out is an excellent move on Lopunny. It gains STAB, is good for chip damage and is essential for Lopunny to Mega-Evolve safely (if you didn’t know, when a Pokemon Mega-Evolves it will use the Speed stat of its original form for that turn only). Fake Out, by flinching the opposing Pokemon, allows it to Mega-Evolve freely so it can utilize its better Speed the next turn. Return and High Jump Kick are two reliable, powerful STAB moves that hit all Pokemon bar Shedninja for neutral damage thanks to Scrappy. Ice Punch is a good coverage move that OHKOs common switch-ins to Mega-Lopunny such as Gliscor and Landorus-T.
As for investing in HP like you asked… I would not recommend this because not only does it not affect the amount of HP you lose (as High Jump Kick always makes you lose 50%, regardless of how much HP you have) it isusuallynot a good idea to invest in bulk on Pokemon that are offensive for these reasons:
If you have any other questions, please ask!
One more thing… I don’t know if you are aware of this or not, but DB has a separate moveset page for every Pokemon. Please refer to that first, and if you can’t find it or are still confused, then ask here.Here is how to get to it. Let’s say we are trying to find a competitive moveset for Golem, for example:1. Go to Golem’s Pokedex page2. Scroll all the way down to the “Answers to Golem Questions” section3. Click on the “What is a good moveset for Golem? question4. If that question is not there or the answers don’t answer your questions, feel free to ask here :)
The ev spread I use for my lopunny is, 252 attack, 252 speed, jolly nature (+Spd, -S.Atk)I know you didnt ask for a move set too but.. This is a good set:
Drain Punch-STAB and healsReturn-STAB and a good physical normal type move (also good cause it evos through happiness)Ice Punch-CoverageFake Out-To be annoying ;)
Hope this helps!
