Mega Lucario Pokemon go is arguably one of the most anticipated Mega Pokemon in the world of Pokemon Go. The Mega- volved form of the Aura Pokemon makes history in Pokemon lore as one of the first Pokemon to Mega Evolve. It’s also pretty strong.
The Pokemon Go event saw five proposals, including pairs who met while playing the game image The Pokemon Go event saw five proposals, including pairs who met while playing the game.Mega Lucario also takes the crown as the game’s best Fighting-type attacker, pushing Mega Heracross into a distant second place.
As a Steel-type, however, it falls into the top three Mega Pokemon, as you lose Counter and Aura Sphere, two of the best attacks in the game. Mega Lucario is definitely one of those Pokemon you’ll want to get while you have the chance. Like all Mega Evolutions, Mega Lucario can’t be caught outright and isn’t always available in Pokemon Go. Instead, you need to keep defeating it in Mega Raids until you’ve collected enough Mega Energy for its temporary evolution.
Mega Lucario Cons and weaknesses in Pokémon Go
The fastest way to get Mega Lucario energy is to defeat one in a Mega Raid. Below you’ll find Mega Lucario’s counters and weaknesses that will help you do just that:
Mega Lucario Types: Fighting and Steel-Type
Mega Lucario is weak against Fighting-, Fire-, and Ground-Type attacks.
Mega Lucario is resistant to Dark, Dragon-, Grass-, Ice-, Normal-, and Steel-Type attacks.
Mega Lucario is super resistant to Bug, Poison-, and Rock-Type attacks.
Mega Lucario Mega Counters: Primal Groudon, of course, the best choice when it comes to Ground-Type weaknesses. After this, we’ll look at Mega Blaziken with Counter and Blast Burn, followed by… oh, look, Mega Lucario as the best Fighting-Type attacker. Go figure. If all else fails, Mega Charizard and doing things that burn is always a good choice.
Mega Lucario Non-Mega Counters: As always, if you have them, Shadow Pokémon are a big help in raids. The ones to watch out for are Shadow Groudon, Shadow Excadrill, Shadow Blaziken and Shadow Garchomp.

Everything We Know About Lucario
The Aura Pokémon, Lucario, has long been a fan favorite. This canine Pokémon evolves from Riolu, the Emanation Pokémon. Despite these categories, neither Pokémon is a Psychic-type.
In Pokémon Go, Riolu is only available in Eggs, which we can all agree is annoying. In the main series games, Riolu evolves into Lucario when it levels up with a high friendship level during the day. In Pokémon Go, it simply evolves with 50 Riolu Candy.
If you want to know more about the first Pokémon in the Pokédex and how it grows into the grossest plant, you can read its official Pokédex entries below:
Riolu: ‘They communicate with each other using their auras. They can run around all night long. It has the peculiar power of being able to see emotions, such as joy and anger, in the form of waves.’
Lucario: ‘It is said that no enemy can remain invisible to Lucario, as it can detect auras, even those of enemies it couldn’t otherwise see. A well-trained Pokémon can use its aura to identify and pick up on the feelings of creatures over a kilometer away.’
Mega Lucario: ‘Its aura has expanded due to Mega Evolution. Ruled only by its fighting instincts, it attacks enemies without mercy. Bathed in explosive energy, his combative instincts have been awakened. With his enemies, he has no mercy.
