Best Moveset for Lucario in Pokemon GO

The first thing you will want to pay attention to before building up Lucario is the Pokemon's stats. Lucario has a max CP of 3056, and its stats fall under 236 ATK, 144 DEF, and 172 STA. Without being a Mega or Legendary Pokemon, Lucario's stats are actually quite impressive, and it can easily hold its own in battle. Lucario is a Fighting and Steel-type Pokemon, meaning it is resistant to Normal, Steel, Grass, Ice, Dragon, Dark, Poison, Rock, and Bug. However, Lucario is weak to Fighting, Fire, and Ground, so you will want to avoid using it during any battles with these types.

When choosing the best moveset for the popular Pokemon Lucario, there is one in particular that can be especially useful in practically any battle, with any weather. There are also alternative options that you can use as well, though they might not be as powerful but are still worth giving a try. Here are some of the best choices for your Lucario moveset build.

As Lucario gets a weather boost from both Cloudy and Snow, your best option for Cloudy is Counter and Aura Sphere, but Snowy weather will benefit the most from Bullet Punch and Aura Sphere, with a DPS that can reach 19.05, and total damage at 393.1. Since Snowy weather is relatively uncommon, unless you are in an area where it frequently occurs, it is best to stick with Counter and Aura Sphere for most battles with Lucario.
