Lucario

Mega Lucario holds a 3.69% single battle share at rank 46, placing it in the second tier of common wallbreakers. Adaptability stacks with the Lucarionite boost to push both STABs—Meteor Mash and Close Combat—well past their base power. Its 70/70/70 defensive spread forces it to end games quickly through offense. The trio of 2x weaknesses to Ground, Fire, and Fighting defines how dependent it is on sand setters and Ground-type partners to function.

Playstyle：Single sets split into two archetypes. Jolly 23.8% dumps 32 EVs into Speed to outpace unboosted 90-base targets and threaten Close Combat or Swords Dance into Extreme Speed sweeps. Timid 19.6% runs Nasty Plot with Aura Sphere, using the special set to match Close Combat damage through Adaptability while sidestepping the defense drops. Meteor Mash at 13.8% functions as a tertiary STAB for finishing Fairy and Ice types. Extreme Speed at 14.5% locks in priority after a Swords Dance boost to clean faster revenge killers.

Mega Lucario sits at 0.28% in doubles at rank 120, barely appearing in matches. Doubles tempo revolves around Protect pivots and spread damage, neither of which suit its 90 Speed tier and 70/70/70 bulk. Ground weakness becomes deadlier here, where Incineroar Fake Outs and partner Earthquakes can pick it off without trading.

Playstyle：In doubles it compresses into a Protect 14.7% plus Close Combat 14.1% aggressive template. Meteor Mash 10.9% and Bullet Punch 8.9% supply priority coverage, while Aura Sphere 8.3% replaces the missing single-battle Fairy coverage. Jolly 38.4% commits harder to Speed, aiming to strike weakened targets in the Fake Out window. Its doubles role leans closer to cleaner than core.

Single-use sits at 0.03%, ranked 221st, firmly on the fringe. The fighting–steel typing grants nine resistances and full poison immunity, yet ground, fire, and fighting all hit for 2× damage, and the 70/70/70 bulk means any successful hit from those types lands hard. With 110 Attack and 115 Special Attack available simultaneously, the Pokémon lacks a clear identity as either a wallbreaker or a cleaner in the 90-speed tier.

Playstyle：Focus Sash at 49% and Life Orb at 47.4% split the metagame nearly evenly, dictating two opposite playstyles: the sash set leans on Vacuum Wave's 13.6% priority and Bullet Punch's 8.3% to win the speed tie, while Life Orb amplifies Close Combat's 8.9% and Meteor Mash after a Swords Dance at 8.3%. Inner Focus at 55.3% leads Justified at 29.7%, showing that flinching immunity is valued more than the attack boost on being hit. Jolly at 29.7%, Modest at 26.7%, and Timid at 25.5% each claim roughly a quarter of the sets, mapping to physical sweeper, special wallbreaker, and revenge-killer archetypes with no dominant default.

Doubles usage stands at 0.06%, ranked 207th, slightly better than singles but still marginal. The nine resistances and poison immunity retain value amid multi-Pokémon exchanges, yet the 2× weakness to ground, fire, and fighting makes it vulnerable to concentrated team damage from those types. The 70/70/70 bulk crumbles faster in doubles than singles, and priority Vacuum Wave is what distinguishes it from other fighting-types in the role.

Playstyle：Close Combat at 18.1% and Meteor Mash at 15.5% form the dominant physical STAB core, with Final Gambit at 8.1% serving as a desperate suicide option. Focus Sash at 47.9% and Choice Scarf at 37.6% dictate two opposing tempo philosophies: sash set plays reactive, scarf set seizes the offensive initiative. Inner Focus at 95.7% locks nearly the entire field, reflecting doubles' far greater need for flinch immunity. Jolly spreads at 40.9% and 17.5% together approach sixty percent, cementing the physical priority archetype; the scarf specifically partners with Gardevoir-Mega at 8.8% and Farigiraf at 6.4% to form a psychic-anchored speed-control shell.
