Is a mixed Lucario good?

1 minute read

So my Lucario in my Shield playthrough is currently a mixed. I want to know if that’s good, or bad. It does prove well because a Gigalith from a trainer on Route 10 had Sand Stream and I was not going to be able to OHKO his Gigalith with Aura Sphere in sandstorm. However, I had Meteor Mash and used that to OHKO. If you want know its current moveset, it’s Psychic, Dragon Pulse, Meteor Mash, and Aura Sphere.If you want to know my team, it’s:Cinderace (Physical)Gyarados (Physical)Corviknight (Physical)Excadrill (Physical)Lucario (Special)Toxtricity (Special)

I guess so

I can explain:Physical Lucario

Access to Close Combat as physical STAB, is also 40 BP stronger.Has Ice Punch to cover Dragon types.Has Zen Headbutt to cover Fighting types

but its coverage options, other than Close Combat, are weaker since Lucario’s SpA is higher than its Atk.

I would go with this moveset:LucarioItem: Life OrbMoves:

Close CombatMeteor MashPsychicDark Pulse/Dragon Pulse

Hope this helps :)

Mixed things are fine in-game. like, I have bite on my blastoise, who is normally special. Lucario has good stats in both attacks, so its actually fine. What matters is that you have some sort of stab. (i will add that it is nice if you do use special, but a mixed is fine.)So, while a full special set would be better to take advantage of its higher special stat, mixed is fine, because it is in-game and Lucario also has good base stats in both
