Lucario is an incredibly popular Pokémon that made its way to Paldea in the latest Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. Lucario evolves from Riolu and is a highly sought-after fighting-type Pokémon with a high Attack. If you’re planning to use one in a Tera Raid, then it would be best if you made sure that yours has either the Inner Focus or Steadfast ability. Inner Focus prevents your Pokémon from flinching or being affected by Intimidate while Steadfast boosts the Pokémon’s Speed each time it flinches. You’ll also want to ensure that Lucario retains the fighting Tera Type. But, which moves are the best for Lucario to use during a Tera Raid in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
