Best Tera Types: Best Pokemon to Terastallize
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards bulky offense. Max out your HP and Special Attack to give it as much bulk and special offense as possible while adding the remaining EVs into Defense.
Giving Lucario a Shell Bell ensures it gets passive healing from its attacks.
Lucario Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
---|---|
Turn 1~2 | Use Metal Sound two times to lower Chesnaught's Special Defense by 4 stages. |
Turns 3 | Use Nasty Plot to raise Lucario's Special Attack by two stages. |
Turns 4~6 | Use Vacuum Wave three times to build up Tera Orb Charge and damage Chesnaught's shield. |
Turns 7+ | Once you have enough Tera Orb Charge, terastallize into a Steel-type and use boosted Flash Cannon to deal damage to Chesnaught's shield and finish the battle. |
Start the battle by using Metal Sound two times to lower Chesnaught's Special Defense stat by 4 stages. You should then get knocked out. Next, use Nasty Plot to raise Lucario's Special Attack by two stages.
Use Vacuum Wave three times to deal damage and build up Tera Orb Charge. Take note that even if Lucario faints, it will still retain its acummulated Tera Orb Charge.
When you have enough Tera Orb charage, terastallize into a Fighting-type and use boosted Flash Cannon to damage Chesnaught's shield and finish the battle.

This Steel Tera Raid Build is an effective counter to Ice, Rock, and Fairy Tera Raids.
If the Tera Raid Boss is usually a Fighting, Ground, or Fire-type outside of Terastallization, perhaps use a different build as Lucario will be weak to these Types.

Shell Bell |
The best ability for Lucario in Tera Raid Battles is Justified, which raises Lucario's Attack by one stage when hit by a Dark-type attack.
We also recommend getting a Lucario with a Psychic Tera Type to further increase the damage of Zen Headbutt. As a Physical Attacker, an Adamant nature would be best.
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards a bulky physical attacker to help with survivability while also dealing as much damage as possible. Max out your HP and Atk EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Special Defense. Give it a Shell Bell to help Lucario restore HP when using damaging moves.
Tera Raid Counter Turn-by-Turn Strategy | |
---|---|
Turns 1~3 | Use Swords Dance three times to reach +6 Attack on Lucario. |
Turns 4~6 | Use stat boosted Zen Headbutt to deal Super Effective damage against Psychic-Weak Pokemon. |
Turns 7+ | Terastallize and use stat boosted, STAB Zen Headbutt. |
Start the battle off by using Swords Dance three times, to allow Lucario to reach +6 Attack. After this, use Zen Headbutt to deal Super Effective damage against the Raid boss.
Screech can also be used to lower the opponent's defense before attacking with Zen Headbutt. You can also use Life Dew to heal yourself and another teammate, to stay in combat longer.

Wise Glasses |
The best nature for Lucario in Tera Raid Battles is Modest, in order for Lucario to have a boost in Special Moves, which can increase the likelihood of shaving off massive chunks of health to enemies, and even deal 1HKOs for lower-ranking Tera Raids.
Additionally, pairing this Nature with Lucario's Steadfast ability will increase its Speed when it flinches, further increasing its chances of dealing the first blow upon the next turn.
We also recommend getting a Lucario with a Fighting Tera Type to take advantage of the increased damage from its Fighting-type move, Vacuum Wave once Terastallized.
Lucario's Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards building its HP and SpAtk stats. Max out its HP and SpAtk EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into its SpDef stat. Additionally, having Lucario hold the item Wise Glasses can boost the power of its Special Moves further, ensuring devastating damage to foes.
How to Make Best Lucario Tera Raid Build |

Lucario can be found on the edge of North Province (Area One) and is mostly found surrounded by a group of Riolu. Note that Lucario is also a Steel-type Pokemon, meaning that you may encounter Steel Tera Type Lucario instead of Fighting. Be sure to check the Tera Type of the Lucario you manage to catch to ensure whether it's a Fighting Tera Type or not.
Make sure to bring a Pokemon that has False Swipe and can inflict a status effect to make it easier to catch.
