Pokémon Unite Mega Lucario Movesets

Basic Attack

Passive – Mega Lucario

The Pokémon’s passive ability changes after Mega evolving. It’s passive ability in normal and Mega evolved form are highlighted below:

• Justified (Normal Form): When the Pokémon is damaged by an opposing Pokémon, it’s attack increases. This effect can be stacked up to 4 times.

Power-Up Punch

At Level 5, Mega Lucario will have access to this ability. The ability details are highlighted below:

• Charges power before unleashing a powerful attack. While the user is charging power, its movement speed is decreased but its Attack slowly increases and the damage it receives is reduced. The user then charges in the designated direction and releases this move. This move deals more damage the lower the opposing Pokemon’s remaining HP is, immediately boosting Mega Lucario’s next basic attack if it hits an enemy. This move’s cooldown is reduced every time one of the user’s moves hits.
• When the user Mega Evolves, it can charge power for a longer duration, dealing increased damage to opposing Pokémon, and shoving them.
• Upgrade: The user becomes immune to hindrances while charging power.

Pokémon Unite Mega Lucario Gameplay Tips

Our Pokémon Unite Mega Lucario Guide will now discuss how to play and achieve a perfect game plan for the Pokémon across the game. The following division has two sections of the early and late game, which players must make sure to read till the end.

Early Game

In the early phase, Mega Lucario begins as the normal Lucario with access to Quick Attack and Meteor Mash on leveling up to Level 2. These abilities grants Lucario lots of mobility and damage potential for early game dominance. Quick Attack’s dash enables rapid repositioning for last-hitting wild Pokémon, while Meteor Mash provides knockback to secure farm or displace opponents.

Combined with it’s passive ability, Lucario thrives in aggressive engages, allowing it to grow stronger each time it takes damage. The passive knock-up from his basic attack can also be essential in disrupting the enemy’s skills and pressuring them while they farm. Focus on farming ceaselessly so you can unlock your Unite move and simultaneously Mega evolve, granting you super-powerful boosted attacks.

Prioritise helping your team’s attacker to farm efficiently and take down early epic Pokémon like the Rotom and Regice as soon as possible. This would help them level up as fast as possible, take down enemy Pokémon, and score the goals needed to seal the win for your team.

Mid and Late Game

Once Mega Lucario unlocks Power-Up Punch at Level 5 and Close Combat at Level 7, its power spikes dramatically. Even better , upon activating its Unite Move, Lucario can them Mega Evolve, shifting its passive to Adaptability. This allows Mega Lucario to stack Attack up to 100 times, drastically amplifying its offensive output during extended fights.

Power-Up Punch when used in Mega Lucario form becomes a deadly engage tool, dealing massive burst damage that scales against weakened opponents. While, Close Combat provides sustain and hindrance immunity for prolonged teamfights. In Mega form, Lucario becomes an unstoppable frontline bruiser, shredding enemies and dominating objectives like Groudon and Regidragon.

Positioning of Mega Lucario

The best path for Mega Lucario would be the top or bottom Lane. Players should prioritise farming Aipoms and Audinos to level up efficiently. The cluster of Combees and Vespiqueen should be hunted down as much as possible to allow for increased exp and easy level-up.
