How to Use Lucario

Powerful Ability That Boosts Damage

Lucario’s Ability increases the damage of your Fighting Pokemon’s Attacks against the opponent’s Active Pokemon by 20. Just having Lucario on the field enhances damage output, making it a strong way to compensate for Fighting Type’s lack of damage.

+40 Damage if Two Are in Play

Since Lucario’s Ability does not state that it cannot stack, having two Lucario in play will increase the bonus to +40 damage.

Attack is Slightly Underwhelming

Lucario’s Attack deals 40 damage for 2 Energy, which is a bit low for a Stage 1 Pokemon. However, with its Ability, the damage can be boosted to 60–80.

Performance Depends on Its Evolutions

Since Lucario evolves from Riolu, the evaluation will also depend on Riolu’s performance.

Lucario Pros and Cons

Powerful Ability that Increases Damage

Lucario's Ability increases the Attack damage of your Fighting Pokemon by +20. With Lucario on the field, damage increases, making it a powerful Ability to enhance Fighting Types.

Increase to +40 Damage with Two Lucarios

Lucario's Ability does not have a clause stating "this Ability does not stack," so with two Lucarios, the +20 damage from each Ability stacks, resulting in +40 additional damage.

Standard Attack Performance

Lucario has a standard performance for a Stage 1 Pokemon, with 100 HP and an Attack that deals 60 damage with 2 Energy, including the Ability. The retreat Energy is somewhat high, so it’s best to support other Fighting Pokemon from the Bench.
