    Best Nature for Lucario Explained

    Lucario benefits most from the Adamant Nature. The increase in Attack allows Lucario to better utilize its physical offense. Since most of its attacks are physical, it won't mind the drop in Special Attack.

    Speed is not as big of a factor

    While a speed increasing nature is often considered for battles in mainline Pokemon games, it doesn't play as big of a factor in Legends: Arceus due to every Pokemon's access to the Agile and Strong Styles. Make up for lower speed by planning around your turn order.

    Best Moves for Lucario Explained

    Close Combat and Shadow Claw are the best moves for Lucario with fantastic power, decent accuracy, and PP. The Fighting / Ghost type combination is an unresisted combination that can hit every Pokemon for at least neutral damage. Bulk Up offers good utility by further empowering Lucario's offensive power.

    This moveset also proves useful against the most difficult battles in the game. The moves listed above should be able to do significant damage against Volo's Lucario, Arcanine, and Giratina. Adding in Ice Punch gives Lucario a move to use against Togekiss, Roserade, and Garchomp. Be careful of Ground-type moves, though!
