i just hatched a riolu, what should i focus my EVs on?

Pleaselog inorregisterto add a comment.

Lucario is frail is crap. Meaning there are only two EV spreads you should really consider running on him.

252 SP ATK / 252 SPEED / 4 HP ( Special sweeper )

OR

252 ATK / 252 SPEED / 4 HP ( Physical sweeper )

Now here are some Lucario sets that you probably can’t get unless you’re hatching that Riolu on a 4th gen game._____Lucario#Life OrbAbility: Variable ( Variable basically means it doesn’t really matter )Nature: JollyEVs: 252 ATK / 252 SPEED / 4 HP

Extreme Speed ( Priority )Close Combat ( Hits hard. He’s too frail to take a hit anyway )Earthquake ( Good coverage )Ice Punch ( More good coverage. Especially flying types )

That’s my preferred Lucario.

Other sets….

Lucario#Choice ScarfAbility: VariableNature: ModestEVs: 252 SP ATK / 252 SPEED / 4 HP

Aura Sphere ( Power + Accuracy + STAB )Dark Pulse ( Gives some great coverage with fighting )Dragon Pulse ( Eh.. filler )Flash Cannon ( STAB..? Filler )

Basically a special scarf set. Fun stuff to use.

And lastly.

Lucario@Air BalloonAbility: VariableNature: JollyEVs: 252 ATK / 252 SPEED / 4 HP

Hone Claws ( Hope that you get a really good switch to set this up on.. )Hi Jump Kick ( Fun fun fun… STAB )Rock Slide ( Coverage )Blaze Kick ( Coverage )

Also, if you try to go for a mixed set ( I’m not gonna post one, sorry. )

Then you would want this EV spread.

196 ATK / 60 SP ATK / 252 SPEED

Putting more into Attack because he has naturally higher special attack.
