The Most Feared Build of Lucario Pokemon Unite!

Lucario Build

Unique Ability

• Steadfast – When a Pokemon is at low HP, it is given a shield and its movement speed increases.
• Basic Attack – Becomes an enhanced attack with every third strike, performing combo attacks with bones. Deals damage to opposing Pokemon in the area of effect and throws them.

Moves

Levels 1/3

Interestingly, all Pokemon get the choice of one move or the other at level 1 but don't worry, you will get access to the others starting at level 3.

QuickAttack – 6 second cooldown – Makes the user lunge forward at a speed that makes them almost invisible, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon they come into contact with.

Meteor Mash – 7s Cooldown – Explodes forward with a comet-like punch, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon and pushing them back.

Meteor Mash is the best choice for Lucario given his ability to push enemies above to close gaps. This makes it slightly better than Quick Attack for the extra 1 second added to its cooldown.

Level 5

Extreme Speed – 9 second cooldown – Makes the user progress at an astonishing speed. If this move hits an opposing Pokemon at close range, its cooldown will reset and restore the user's HP. However, the cooldown cannot be continuously reset by using this move on the same opponent several times in a row.

Upgrades: Also increases Attack for a short time when this move is used.

Power-Up Punch – 7s Cooldown – Charges up before unleashing a powerful attack. As the user charges up, their movement speed decreases but their Attack slowly increases and the damage they take decreases.

The user then charges in the specified direction and releases this move, dealing more damage the lower the opposing Pokemon's remaining HP and making its next basic attack an enhanced attack if the move hits. This move's cooldown decreases each time one of the user's moves hits.

Upgrades: The user becomes immune to obstacles while charging.

The Power-Up Punch is easily the better choice as it offers explosive damage, displacement, increased defense, increased attack and immunity to obstacles. Furthermore, on top of this Power-Up Punch it also offers a shorter cooldown time and works with Lucario's Unite Move.

Level 7

Bone Rush – 10s Cooldown – Performs a combo attack with bones, dealing multiple damaging blows to opposing Pokemon and pushing them away. The final strike sent his bones flying. If this move is used again while the bone is moving, the user rushes to the location of the bone, dealing damage to nearby opposing Pokemon.

Upgrades: Using this move again will reset the cooldown for Extreme Speed or Power-Up Punch.

Close Combat – Cooldown 9s – Unleashes a combo attack, dealing multiple hits to opposing Pokemon and pushing them away.

Upgrades: Increases the damage dealt by this move.

Again, Bone Rush offers a lot more versatility than Close Combat, essentially giving Lucario the option of a free dash or escape, an easy choice.

Level 9

Unite Move – Aura Cannon – Deals damage to opposing Pokemon in the area of effect. Increases the damage dealt by the user's next Power-Up Punch after using this Unite Move.

Even though this Pokemon is a melee and personal fighter, be sure to use this Unite Move to initiate or take down enemy Pokemon from a distance.

Best Lucario Items

Lucario is best used with these held items, to give him a serious damage boost.

Hold items

• Muscle Band – Basic attacks do more damage the more HP your opponent has.
• Attack Weight – Permanently increases Attack when scored.
• Band Focus – When HP is low, recovers HP gradually.

All of these items are designed to increase damage output and maintain Lucario's strength as a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

Battle Items

The Eject Button was the perfect choice for Lucario, being a melee specialist capable of teleporting near or far from danger was essential.

Lucario Pokemon Unite strategy

• The best way to play Lucario in Pokemon Unite is to be aggressive. You'll want to make sure you jump into battle quickly to help KO enemies. Interestingly, Lucario works best in the mid-lane due to his ability to wander around and help other teammates secure kills.
• When health is low, the Eject Button is a lifesaver, but your other Possessed items are perfect for sustain. Furthermore, Lucario's punches and Bone Rush can completely turn the tide of battle, giving you the chance to escape from danger.
• Finally, a good combo with Lucario is hitting your opponent with a Bone Rush to stun it, then following it up with a Power-Up Punch to give you increased defense and attack. This can then be followed up with a third auto attack to knock enemies into the air, simply rinse and repeat.
