    Watching this video certainly was educating, while I would never and can't enter in any of these tourneys it is good to know how far my absolute favourite Pokemon could potentially go. Knowing the kind of competition and my preferred load out for Lucario I no doubt wouldn't get very far. I don't have access for specific training or any real knowledge about the specifics like EVs, IVs, etc. (My team is solely built through regular gameplay without any fancy ways of raising Pokemon) so naturally I wouldn't last long. When I get a Riolu, I would have it hold a Macho brace to help increase all stats better (and if at all possible have Pokerus) train it up and evolve into Lucario and train to max level and give it a Lucarionite. I would also make sure it's ability is inner focus and have it learn a ground type move (either earthquake, dig or bone rush), aura sphere (good damage and never miss), dark pulse (for dealing with ghost and psychic types, also good damage high accuracy with chance to make target flinch), and dragon pulse (for dealing with dragon types, good damage and high accuracy). Imo I think it's a good all around set for dealing with almost all types. I prefer to avoid close combat for while it has high damage and accuracy I don't want to make my Lucario more of a glass cannon than it already is, focus blast also seems good but I prefer a move with an accuracy of 90 or higher and have higher pp. Bullet punch and extreme speed feel like a waste to me and stat boosting moves also feel wasted to me but that's my opinion. I would love to hear some constructive criticism about my Lucario from an expert; hear what is good and what isn't, and what I could do to make an excellent Lucario. Ever since gen IV, I always had a Lucario on my team with this set (except in gen IV and V where I gave it an expert belt).

    Lucario is tied with garchomp and dugtrio for my favorite Pokémon. Lucario may not be ou now, but it’s very good in its current tier, UU. In fact, in gen 7 it moved from RUBL back to UU, and it hasn’t dropped since in gen 7 and gen 8.

    • @joelss22
      @joelss22 Před 3 lety

      How though? He's Cynthia's arguably second best pokemon who some people would also argue is the best champion, had his own movie, and has been in every Smash Bros since brawl. (I'm going to keep just calling Lucario male since female Lucario are rare and all of its popular appearances are male) Granted Smash Bros is obviously the biggest indicator of his popularity and I understand not everyone plays that but theres a ton of other examples.
      You could play as his pre evolution in the Mystery Dungeon games which mainly only let's you choose starters, and has been the partner pokemon of plenty of significant trainers in the anime including Maylene the Fighting type gym leader of Sinnoh, Cameron a goofy ass trainer that kicked Ashes ass in the Unova league, Korrina the fighting type gym leader of Kalos that was also used to give more of an explanation on how Mega Evolution works. Professor Kukui in the Sun and Moon Anime also had a Lucario though it wasn't his partner pokemon Incineroar was (which I take no issue with since Incineroars my second favorite pokemon only losing to Lucario) Finally Ash hatched a Riolu from an egg in the latest series of the anime and will evolve into Lucario when the next dubbed season comes out March 5th on Netflix. So I guess if you don't play Smash, haven't watched much of the anime, and haven't gotten into competitive pokemon I could understand how you weren't aware of Lucarios popularity, but yeah while it's no Pikachu or Charizard, Lucario is a pretty recognizable 4th gen pokemon to any fan.

    • @joelss22
      @joelss22 Před 3 lety

      @@RR71311 Lucario really is cool and I love the concept of aura and how humans can have the ability to see and harness it. If Ash had any understanding of how his aura abilities worked he'd probably be able to build an even stronger bond with his Lucario. The only negative I can think to say of Lucario is that his shiny form, at least imo, looks godawful. If he were all golden yellow then I'd probably like it a bit more but they combined golden yellow with his original blue fur and it just looks really terrible. But I wouldn't pass up the opportunity of using one just for the fact that it's a Lucario. I've used it and Garchomp since Black and White 2 (I didn't get to experience the gen 4 games until after ORAS came out.
