I plan to replace the Krookodile on my team with a Delta Lucario. I have 4 physical attackers and 2 special attackers, so I wanted to make him a special one, but his mega’s ability is Defiant, which boosts his Attack Stat if any of his stats get lowered.
well I think it depends on what your team comp is. Tbh defiant isn’t even that useful storywise so you can go either way. If you do want to go special you can use a nasty plot set/an all out attacker set
D. Lucario @ D. Lucarionite
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dark Pulse
- Earth Power
- Nasty Plot
- Vacuum Wave/Grass Knot/Psyshock
Or if you want to go for physical you can run a sd set with
Lucario @ Lucarionite
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Sucker Punch/Knock Off
- Bonemerang/EQ

well I feel like phys lucario could work better with your team
also PLEASE don’t just max out spdef/def maxing out your hp/ speed especially on your offensive mons is so much better
It’s a mistake, I actually maxed their attack and speed. But I think I’ll change Venusaur 's from speed to HP.
where did he do that tho?
wait nvm
barely anyone ig use intimidate
I know, the ability activated on Bisharp only against Reukra’s Mewtwo, and then it was immediately killed.
it works on defog to tho, and random stat drops from stuff like shadow/energy ball, earth power, flash cannon, etc
and if u switch into webs
Umm, Volc should run 252 Spe, 252 SpA, or for bulky sets, 252 Def, 240 HP, 16 Spe. D. Hax is actually better with the SpD and HP investments switched.
Volcarona already runs max Sp. Attack and Speed
Sorry, it’s a bit hard to read. Can you edit the post on the team and space things out?
I edited it.
u dont need to show evs if theyre 0
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spe
do it like this
I just copy pasted the Team Exports.
I’ve settled for a Physical one. Thank you for your replies.
