Mega Lopunny finds itself walled by common physical/mixed walls in the metagame, such as Skarmory, Mandibuzz, Slowbro and fighting/normal resistant Pokémon. It is also outsped and easily revenge killed by faster/scarfed threats. Scarf Meloetta is an excellent partner to the bunny, being able to 2HKO some physically defensive walls with STAB Psychic + coverage moves or to cripple(Trick)/wear down(U-turn) mixed defensive walls that both struggle to break. It can outspeed and revenge kill +1 Mega Gyarados, Scarf Heracross, other M-Lop's, M-Beedrill, M-Aero, Scarf Hoopa-U(if u-turn) and more, as well as being capable of living a hit from scarf keldeo/terrakion and killing back in return, all of those being offensive threats to bunny. In return, M-Lop tanks Dark-type moves (like the ubiquitous knock off) for Meloetta, making them have a rather nice synergy type-wise.
