Use the Soothe Bell on Riolu to Get Lucario Quickly

Item Effect / Location
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Soothe Bell ImageSoothe Bell Effect
An item to be held by a Pokemon. It doubles the Friendship earned by the holder.
Location(s)
• Mesagoza Delibird Presents
• Levincia Delibird Presents
• Cascarrafa Delibird Presents

We recommend using a Soothe Bell, which can be purchased at the Delibird Presents store in Mesagoza to help raise your Riolu's friendship quickly and make it evolve into Lucario.

A Pokemon holding the Soothe Bell will have its friendship growth boosted by a bonus 50%, even if they only walk around with you.

Lucario Best Nature

Nature & Stat Changes Explanation
Adamant
↑ Attack, ↓ SpAtk
Physical/Special Attacker
Lucario has a base 110 Attack and 115 Special Attack, making it a heavy hitter in both. Players generally want to choose which of these they want to focus in, and can use Adamant or Modest to improve either Attack or Special Attack while sacrificing the other.
Modest
↑ SpAtk, ↓ Attack
Naughty
↑ Attack, ↓ SpAtk
Mixed Attacker
Otherwise, Lucario can go for a mixed attacking set and use both Physical and Special moves, in which case you can sacrifice Special Defense instead with the Naughty or Rash nature.
Rash
↑ SpAtk, ↓ SpDef
Timid
↑ Speed, ↓ Attack
Speedy Sweeper
The Timid, Jolly or Naive natures can be used if you want to focus on Speed and make sure Lucario hits first. This lets it aim for fast 1HKOs, allowing it to sweep without having to take a hit before its turn.
Jolly
↑ Speed, ↓ SpAtk
Naive
