The March, April, and May season of Pokémon GO, titled Might & Mastery, has now begun. This season continues with a focus on Galar, Max Battles, and Gigantamax Battles, with a focus on Kubfu. For the first month of Might & Mastery, Tier Five Raids will feature Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Tapu Koko, and Heatran, with Shadow Raids featuring Regice on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Lucario, Mega Swampert, and Mega Pinsir. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Mega Lucario, who will have a stint as the Mega Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Mega Lucario Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Mega Lucario counters as such:
- Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Mega Charizard Y: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Mega Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
- Mega Blaziken: Counter, Blaze Kick
- Mega Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Reshiram: Fire Fang, Overheat
- Shadow Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Sandsear Storm
- Mega Heracross: Counter, Close Combat
- Mega Charizard X: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help efficiently take down Mega Lucario.
- Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
- Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Blacephalon: Incinerate, Mystic Fire
- Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Apex Purified Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire++
- Volcarona: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
- Heatran: Fire Spin, Magma Storm
- Hisuian Decidueye: Psycho Cut, Aura Sphere
- Delphox: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Mega Lucario can be defeated by just one trainer, but this will be tough to pull off. If you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have two or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. If you get a Shiny, though, it is a guaranteed catc,h so be sure to use a Pinap Berry.
Shiny Odds
The Shiny rate for Mega-capable Pokémon is approximately one in 60.
