In Pokémon GO, the raid pool rotates and surprisingly you are currently getting one of the most popular and useful Pokémon in the game.
Which Pokémon appears in raids? In level 3 raids, you can currently encounter Lucario. The monster is usually not that easy to obtain: You usually have to try to hatch the baby Pokémon Riolu from eggs and then evolve it into Lucario.
Instead, you can now simply challenge it in the 3er raids – but only for a short time. Because on Wednesday, November 22, the Party-Up event starts, which will bring its own raid pool.
Then it is to be expected that Lucario will disappear from the raids again. So if you want to catch it, you should hurry.
What kind of Pokémon is Lucario in Pokémon GO?
This is Lucario: Lucario is a Fighting and Steel-type Pokémon. It is basically one of the fan favorites in terms of Pokémon. And it’s not only popular, but also really strong.
The monster belongs to the best attackers in Pokémon GO overall. In terms of Fighting type, it is only surpassed by a few Crypto, Mega, and Legendary Pokémon. Therefore, it is a very good option to get a strong attacker that is somewhat easier to level up.
How to use Lucario best? Use Counter and Aura Sphere attacks with Lucario to deal a lot of damage in raids.
Even in the battle league, it has a place at least in the Super and Ultra leagues and can be quite useful, but it is not one of the top Pokémon in the PvP of Pokémon GO.
Moreover, it has the potential to become even more powerful, as Lucario offers a Mega Evolution in the main games. Although it is currently not available in Pokémon GO, it is expected to be introduced in the future.
How to best fight against Lucario in the raid? You can defeat Lucario at raid level 3 alone, but you should rely on appropriate counters. It is vulnerable to Fighting, Ground, and Fire attacks.
Use monsters like Proto-Groudon, Garchomp (or its Mega Evolution), Skelabra, Reshiram, Moltres, or other top attackers of the respective types.
Otherwise, the current season is coming to an end. What will happen until the end of the month can be found in the overview of the November events 2023 in Pokémon GO.
