    First, catch either a Lucario or pre-evolved Riolu. It is recommended to catch Riolu since its easier to catch than Lucario, although it does take more time to evolve.

    Reroll If You Want To Save Money

    After getting a Lucario or a Riolu, use items to increase the IV stats. Since each item costs money, it's better to reroll its Nature and Individual Value to save money. When rerolling while breeding, use Raid and wild Terastal as the Parent Pokemon since they have a high IV to some extent.

    As a Special Attacker, you will want to maximize damage so distribute as much into its Special Attack. What's remaining should be distributed to HP and the rest to Speed. If you're running a Physical Attacker, distribute it into Attack instead.

You can also build Lucario as a Physical Attacker since it can learn Swords Dance for stat increase, Close Combat for high damage, Drain Punch for damage and recovery, and Drain Punch. This will make it a strong Physical attacker.

How To Use Lucario In Raids

Procedure Guide
  1. Give Wide Lens To Lucario
  2. Use Metal Sound To Lower Sp. Defense
  3. Use Nasty Plot To Increase Sp. Attack
  4. Use Focus Blast to deal damage
  1. Give Wide Lens To Lucario
  2. Held ItemEffect
    Wide LensWide LensHit Rate of Move 1.1 times

    Metal Sound and Focus Blast have 100 Damage, but they have bad accuracy. Supplement the hit rate by using the Wide Lens held item.

  3. Use Metal Sound To Lower Sp. Defense
  4. First, use Metal Sound to lower the enemy's Sp. Def by 2 levels. It is possible to lower the Sp. Def by up to 6 levels, so it is more efficient if you combo with your allies.

    For A Physical Attacker, Use Screech

    If there is a Pokemon that uses Physical Techniques in your team. You can use Screech to lower Defense by two levels. Be flexible and adapt to your party's needs.

  5. Use Nasty Plot To Increase Sp. Attack
  6. After you finish lowering the Sp. Defense, use Nasty Plot to increase Lucario's Sp. Attack. In raids, statuses can be reversed so its best not to spend too much time to do this.

  7. Use Focus Blast To Deal Damage
  8. When you are ready, attack with Focus Blast. After the second attack, you can adjust the number of Nasty Plot and Metal Sound by checking the first damage.
