How well does Special Mega Lucario usually do? I'm asking because I'm making a team with him and I'm wondering if it would be worth the time:
Lucario (M) @ Lucarionite
Ability: Inner Focus
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Def OR 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Atk
Modest Nature or Timid Nature OR Naive Nature or Hasty Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 Def OR 31 Atk / 31 Def OR 0 Atk
- Aura Sphere / Focus Blast
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [Ice] / Vacuum Wave / Bullet Punch / Extreme Speed
- Detect / Protect
Aura Sphere and Flash Cannon are your main STAB moves and they get boosted by Adaptability. For the third slot, Hidden Power Ice can be used with a 0 Atk / 30 Def IV Spread for so general coverage that mainly hits Landorus-T but it doesn't outspeed so...yeah. Vacuum Wave is the only Special Priority attacking move and it does quite well here because it gets STAB and a Adaptability boost, and if used, should be used with 0 Atk IVs. If none of those options sound appealing, than you can use Bullet Punch or Extreme Speed. Bullet Punch is a STAB Adaptability-boosted Priority Move and Extreme Speed has more Priority but is a Normal-Type Move so there is that. If one of these are used, than 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Atk should be used. For the final slot, you can decide between Detect and Protect. While Protect has more PP, Detect is usually immune to Imprison (I think Smeargle is the only one that can use both iirc).
