Basics
Lucario is a Fighting/Steel-type Pokémon. Its 100% IV CP is 1,544 at level 20 (raids, eggs and research), 1,930 at weather-boosted level 25 and up to 3,056 at level 50. It is weak to Fire/Fighting/Ground attacks (1.6×). It resists Normal/Grass/Ice/Dragon/Dark/Steel/Poison/Bug/Rock attacks. In raids, Force Palm + Aura Sphere is its strongest moveset (level 40, 100% IVs). As your buddy, it earns 1 Candy every 5 km you walk together.

Lucario reads its opponent's feelings with its aura waves. It finds out things it would rather not know, so it gets stressed out easily.
