When basic attacks hit, the damage is increased by 1% of the opponent's opposing HP.
Scope Lens
Critical-Hit Rate +0.4 %
Critical-Hit Damage 0%
Increases the damage of basic attack critical hits. The higher the Pokémon's Attack, the more the damage increases.
Focus Band
When the Pokémon drops to low HP, then each second for three seconds, it recovers 8% of the HP it had lost.
Battle Item
X Attack
Raises your Pokémon's Attack and Sp. Atk for a short timeIncreases ATK and Special ATK for a short time.
You'll want to build Lucario for offense to take advantage of its superior mobility, so the Muscle Band and Scope Lens will amplify your damage output. Focus Band will allow you to heal back up in a pinch.
X Attack is naturally the best Battle Item for a DPS build.
Lucario: Starting Attack
Quick Attack
Has the user lunge forward at a speed that makes them almost invisible, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon they come in contact with.
Quick Attack is the better option to start with, given the shorter cooldown and higher damage potential.
Lucario: Best Moves
Power-Up Punch
Charges power before unleashing a powerful attack. While the user is charging power, itsm ovement speed is decreased but its Attack slowly increases and the damage it receives is reduced. The user then charges in the designated direction and releases the move, dealing more damage the lower the opposing Pokémon's remaining HP is and making its own next basic attack a boosted attack if the move hits. This move's cooldown is reduced every time one of the user's move hits.
Upgrade at Level 11: The user becomes immune to hindrances while charging power.
Close combat
Unleashes a combo attack, dealing multiple blows to opposing Pokémon and shoving them.
Upgrade at Level 13: When this move is used, it grants the user a shield. While using this move, the user becomes immune to hindrances.
To be effective, Lucario will need the tools to get close to his targets. Power-Up punch gives you another quick dash, with added crowd control attached. Close Combat will be your main source of damage, with your mobility skills helping you get into range.
Lucario: Passive Ability
Steadfast
When the Pokémon is at low HP, it is shielded and its movement speed is increased.
