Strategy & play

How Lucario plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

Its main attack (Aura Sphere) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
Needs Fighting Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
Fighting type, weak to Psychic ×2 — a Psychic attacker doing ≥45 effectively one-shots it.
A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
A Stage 1 — one step up from Riolu; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.

How to beat Lucario

Exploit its Psychic weakness — ≥45 damage one-shots it.
Gust it before the evolution is set up.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Lucario is real?

Lucario is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
