Fashion Week may be over in real life, but now it is coming to Pokemon Go.

On top of a change of spawns comes a change to raids. During the Fashion Week event, Yveltal and Mega Lopunny will be appearing in raids.

Mega Lopunny’ Raid Counters

Going into the Mega Lopunny Raid, trainers will need Pokemon with high defensive stats or hard-hitting attacks. Overall, Mega Lopunny is one of the easier Mega Pokemon to take down in Pokemon Go due to its weaknesses, average defense, and low HP stats.

The raid can be easily completed by a team of 2 to 5 trainers; a team of 4 to 9 trainers can take it down quicker and a team of 7 to 20 trainers can burn through it making a better completionist bonus.

Using Mega Pokemon such as Mega Gengar, Mega Pidgeot, Mega Latias/Latios, or Mega Lopunny will make trainers’ lives easier with type advantage moves. Ultimately, you will want to use Fighting, Psychic, Flying, or Fairy-type Pokemon. Be careful, because the raid can be difficult if using Ghost, Dark, Rock, and Bug-type Pokemon.

Here are the best counters to overcoming the raid. Some of these recommendations can be substituted out for Pokemon with type advantage or a better move set.
