Pokemon Of The Day - Lucario

I can't stand Lucario. He thinkS he's SO great, being a Fighting/Steel type, with all
those moves he doesn't need, like Bone Rush, Dark Pulse, and Dragon Pulse. If he
can do all this, he might as well be able to do my friggin laundry.

#448 - Lucario
Type - Fighting/Steel
Aura Pokemon
Height - 4'00"
Weight - 119.0 lbs.

Abilities:
Inner Focus: Prevents Flinching
Humble Heart: Speed is raised when Flinched

Evolution Chain
Evolves from Riolu from Happiness at Daytime

Availability: Diamond, Pearl

Lucario can't be found in the wild. Indeed, the only way to get one is to get the Riolu
Egg that you get from Riley in Iron Island, hatch that, and evolve it.

Moveset:
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Humble Heart

Stats:
HP: 344
Attack: 319
Defense: 239
Special Attack: 329
Special Defense: 239
Speed: 279

Swords Dance
Aura Sphere
Dragon Pulse
Earthquake/Blaze Kick

Ok, as stated above, I hate Lucario. I absolutely HATE this thing. Game Freak gave
it way too much. How the HELL does he use Bone Rush, anyway? He's got no bone
to rush with! Ok, now that i'm done with my rant, let's continue with this analysis.

Swords Dance is to help Lucario's slightly lower than his Special Attack by like ten
points Attack stat. He can use the move once or twice, since he's got the typing to
survive one or two hits from anything (Friggin Steel side...)

Aura Sphere is Lucario's signature move. Well, it would be, if Togekiss didn't have
it too (And at least Togekiss isn't overpowered like this thing). It runs off of Lucario's
Special Attack, and, in addition, the move NEVER misses!

Dragon Pulse can be used on anything that isn't weak to Aura Sphere. The only
Pokemon it can't hurt are Steel types, and Aura Sphere takes care of that. Dragon
Pulse is also good for when that stray Dragonite/Kingdra/Flygon appears and your
Ice Beamer is dead.

I find that either Earthquake or Blaze Kick rounds out this last spot. Both moves can
take advantage of the Swords Dance mentioned earlier. Earthquake is just a very
awesome move to use, but Blaze Kick can take out Scizor and Forretress. Of course,
Earthquake is easier to get, since you have to breed for Blaze Kick.

Leftovers should annoy the hell out of anyone trying to take out Lucario, since his
Steel half already gives him a bunch of resistances, and if he's healing constantly,
he'll be a royal pain in the ass to kill. Humble Heart will make all of those Flinch loving
Dunsparces and Togekisses think twice before attempting their flinchhax on you.

Alternate moves...Oh god, Lucario's got so many, I can't explain them all. You can
use Bone Rush, Dark Pulse, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Brick Break, Rock Slide....the
list goes on.

I'm going to end this article with a statement: I hate Lucario. There, I said it. Join
me tomorrow for another Pokemon Of The Day.
