Pokémon Go Mega Lucario Raid: Best Moveset, Counters, and Tips

As a seasoned gamer and dedicated Pokémon Go trainer with years of experience under my belt, I’m thrilled to share my thoughts on the upcoming debut of Mega Lucario in our beloved game. Having battled countless Pokémon and faced numerous challenges, I can confidently say that Mega Raids are no walk in the park, even for high-level players like myself. So, when I heard about Mega Lucario making its appearance during the Ultra Unlock: Raid Day on July 27, 2024, I knew it was time to gather my fellow trainers and strategize our approach.


On July 27, 2024, during Pokémon Go’s Ultra Unlock: Raid Day, Mega Lucario will make its long-awaited appearance for the first time. This mega-evolved form of Lucario boasts sleeker thighs and longer, yellow fur. An intriguing transformation indeed! The paws of this powerful creature grow sharp spikes, turning a striking crimson hue. Prepare yourselves, trainers, as even high-level players won’t be able to take it on alone during a Mega Raid. In the following Pokémon Go guide, I will share some effective strategies for defeating Mega Lucario using the best possible counters.

Mega Lucario in Pokémon Go

At level 50, Mega Lucario is a formidable Pokemon with both Fighting and Steel types, boasting a maximum CP of 4325. Be warned, this powerful creature is vulnerable to attacks of the Fighting, Fire, and Ground varieties. If you’re an experienced player with effective counters, I would still advise teaming up with at least two to four others for battle to secure your victory. For less seasoned trainers or those lacking strong countermeasures, consider assembling a larger group.
