Weather is warming up around the world and as spring kicks off it is time to celebrate in the world of Pokemon GO. The Season of Legends is delivering the latest Spring celebration for the mobile AR game and this time trainers have a massive list of special spawns, Egg hatches, bonuses, and even some exciting new Battle Raid bosses to help celebrate.
Part of the Spring event in Pokemon GO includes a limited time chance to battle Mega Lopunny in Battle Raids. This opportunity gives players the chance to stock up on some rare Mega Resources and add a unique Mega Evolution possibility to their arsenal for future battles. In order to stock up enough resources to Mega Evolve Lopunny in the future, trainers are going to want to make sure they take the time to form a strong counter roster and bring some powerful Pokemon to the Battle Raid.

Although Lopunny may be cute, that doesn't mean trainers won't have any problems with the Battle Raid. The Mega Pokemon is still going to put up a fight, so trainers will want to head into the battle with a handful of friends and a roster full of the correct counters. Lopunny is a Normal- and Fighter- type, which means there are a lot of great options when it comes to countering the boss. Trainers should focus on fielding their best Psychic-, Flying-, Fighter-, or Fairy- types to take advantage of Mega Lopunny's weaknesses...
Mewtwo - Confusion/Psystrike
Pidgeot (Mega) - Gust/Brave Bird
Latios - Zen Headbutt/Psychic
Conkeldurr - Counter/Dynamic Punch
Moltres - Wing Attack/Sky Attack
Metagross - Zen Headbutt/Psychic
Charizard (Mega Y) - Air Slash/Blast Burn
Gardevoir - Confusion/Psychic
Gengar (Mega) - Sucker Punch/Psychic
Lucario - Counter/Aura Sphere
Machamp - Counter/Dynamic Punch
Gallade - Confusion/Psychic
Alakazam - Confusion Psychic
As always, trainers don't need one of these exact Pokemon with the perfect move set in order to succeed, but things will definitely be a bit easier if they have that option. The most important thing is to have a roster of Pokemon with high DPS that can take advantage of Mega Lopunny's Psychic-, Flying-, Fighter-, or Fairy- type weaknesses. Luckily, a few of the best options are Pokemon who have been relevant in the meta game for years, so the majority of players probably already have at least a few powered up with the correct move set already.
Over the next week or so players should begin to learn a lot more about what other events are on the way throughout the rest of the the Season of Legends. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
