Is it worth putting Fake Out on a Mega Lopunny?

Question

Its already pretty speedy, so it doesnt need the priority. Im already running Return on it for the Normal STAB, so I just feel the move slot could be used for better coverage (I.e. Thunder Punch or maybe even Teeter Dance)

At the moment mine knows
-Drain Punch
-Ice Punch
-Return
-Fake Out (?)

So is it worth it..?

Singles or VGC?

Answer 1

If you're not using it for priority or coverage, the only other common use is for it to allow a free switch for your partner Pokemon in a double battle or to get that extra bit of damage if you don't think you'll be able to OHKO.

If you're not using it for those 2 situations, I'd say it would be much better served going to another coverage move.

You could also use fake out with last resort
