Pokemon Go Lucario best PvP moveset

Lucario’s best moveset for PvP encounters consists of Counter as a Fast Move and Power-Up Punch as a Charged Move.

Even though both benefit from STAB, Counter is slightly better as it deals more damage than Bullet Punch and has a much lower energy per second, making the DPS considerably higher when compared.

As a Charged Move, Power-Up Punch will allow you to apply and attack buff while baiting the enemies’ shields. It is the cheapest move, so accordingly, it won’t deal too much damage. That’s why you should pair it with a second Charge Move.

In case you can afford a second Charged Move, go for Shadow Ball to deal way more damage while also amplifying your coverage range.

Pokemon Go Lucario best Raid moveset

One of the best movesets you can teach Lucario for Raid battles is Counter as a Fast Move and Aura Sphere as a Charged Move, dealing 18.67 damage per second with a 385.2 total damage output.

As said above, both moves are pretty good, but Counter excels over Bullet Punch, mainly when paired with the same type of Charged Move, so go with it.

For the Charged Move, pair Counter with Aura Sphere, as it is a nuke that deals an outstanding amount of damage for very little energy.
