Raid guide
How the fight goes and what to bring.
Mega Lucario is Fighting/Steel, weak to Fire, Fighting, and Ground. Fire and Ground attackers counter it; it's a quick, duo-friendly fight. The reason to build Lucario is offense: Fighting shreds Normal, Rock, Steel, Dark, and Ice bosses, and Lucario has the DPS to duo many of them. Mega Lucario adds a lobby-wide boost on top. Between its raid value and its Great League viability, Lucario is one of the most complete builds in the game.
Mega Lucario resists Bug, Poison, Rock, Dark, Dragon, Grass, Ice, Normal, Steel — leave those attackers out even if they are your highest CP.
