GEN 4 PREVIEW

BUNEARY, LOPUNNY
Welcome back, Trainers! We'll be taking a look at Buneary and Lopuuny in this article. Let's jump into it!

BUNEARY

  • CATEGORY: Rabbit Pokémon
  • PRONOUNCED: buh-NEER-ree
  • TYPE: Normal
  • HEIGHT: 1' 04"
  • WEIGHT: 12.1 lbs.
Picture

ATTACK:  130

DEFENSE:  111

STAMINA:  110

MAX  CP:  1136

Buneary is expected to be a fairly common Pokémon. We expect it to take 3KM to find a Candy as a Buddy, and be found in 2KM or 5KM Eggs.
SUGGESTED: What Will Porygon-Z Be Like in Pokémon GO? - Generation Preparation

LOPUNNY

  • CATEGORY: Rabbit Pokémon
  • PRONOUNCED: LAH-puh-nee
  • TYPE: Normal
  • HEIGHT: 3' 11"
  • WEIGHT: 73.4 lbs.
Picture

ATTACK:  156

DEFENSE:  200

STAMINA:  130

MAX  CP:  1885

PLACE IN THE META: Lopunny will not be useful in Pokémon GO. Normal-types are un-useful in this game, and Lopunny's mediocre stats don't do anything to boost its viability.

Lopunny is a pure Normal-type. This makes it weak to Fighting-type attacks, as well as "immune" to Ghost-type attacks. All other types of attacks will do neutral damage.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Lopunny:
  • Pound
  • ​Quick Attack

Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Lopunny:
  • Hyper Beam
  • Ice Beam
  • Low Sweep
  • Shadow Ball

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Lopunny's movepool:
  • Bounce
  • Dizzy Punch
  • High Jump Kick

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 4, Lopunny gains no evolution or exclusive Z-Move. Lopunny does have a Normal-and-Fighting-type Mega Evolution in the future, which was first seen in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
Thanks for reading, Trainers!
