What type is Lucario?
Lucario is a dual Fighting and Steel-type Pokemon. It’s not easy to come to this conclusion just by looking at Lucario, so many trainers might have trouble trying to take it down.
All Lucario weaknesses
As a dual Fighting and Steel-type Pokemon, Lucario is weak against Fire, Fighting, and Ground-type moves. Those are the same weaknesses any pure Steel-type Pokemon has, which can also lead to some confusion.
Fire-type Pokemon are usually the popular choice to fight Lucario, but Ground and Fighting-type Pokemon are equally good against it.
All Lucario resistances
As a dual Fighting and Steel-type Pokemon, Lucario can resist damage from the following types:
- Normal
- Rock
- Bug
- Steel
- Grass
- Ice
- Dragon
- Dark
That’s not all, since Lucario is also immune to Poison-type attacks.
By pairing Steel with Fighting, Lucario can receive neutral damage from Fairy, Psychic, and Flying-type attacks that aren’t usually effective against a Steel type.
In total, six types deal neutral damage and three are super-effective against Lucario, so keep that in mind when trying to defeat or catch one in Pokemon games. The remaining nine types won’t do much against the Aura Pokemon so don’t bring them to battle if you want to keep them in one piece.
