Why is lucario part steel

Just people too lazy to search for the answers. TheMehssenger posted That's pretty interesting. Thank you for that. User Info: FryDays Im puzzled to see that people have difficulty understanding Jirachi's Steel typing.

Do they even know what shooting stars are made of? Freiza may be cool, but his brother is User Info: CakeOfLies. FryDays posted I actually didn't until just now. It has three metal spikes sticking out of his body, lending to the idea that its entire skeleton is made of metal, like Wolverine Nintendo Network ID: raddudesman. User Info: AlternisD. Can Lucario still get Iron Head? Bluemeister New Member. I dont understand why Lucario is part steel type, he doesnt have anything to do with steel.

He is cool though. Because Mawile is steel too and Gengar is half poison. Real Talk Keisha. It does have those little spikes on its arms. Sweet Pinpuku Happy Happiny. So it can be the best Reversaler ever. Your question makes sense but the point everyone made so far is all equally correct. I don't really care, because Steel types usually look cool. Lucario loocs cool. Last edited: Apr 14, That doesn't seem very bandit like to me.

And no, being based on a god of funerals isn't grounds to label it a Dark type; especially since Anubis was seen as a protector and guide to the dead, not a bringer of death.

Most Dark Types fight violently, attack unprovoked, are feared, etc. Lucario are known for reading emotions and having a sense of justice. User Info: King-gamer King-gamer 8 years ago 13 He's wearing pants. User Info: warnerbroman warnerbroman 8 years ago 16 Steel nerves. User Info: Amesang Amesang 8 years ago 19 Lucario's obviously a 16th-level monk. User Info: scitch1 scitch1 8 years ago 20 it clearly has steel spikes on the top of its hands too. Where to buy this game. This game is pissing me off.

Help for Therian trade Help. Let's get this to , shall we? Breedjects Trading Board 1. Side Quest. Can anyone help me with the Plasma Ship Password-Part?

Main Quest. Bisharp also forms a fantastic Swords Dance core with Lucario as it can take on Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokemon that give Lucario trouble such as Victini and Blacephalon.

Mega Sableye is not a fairy type. Last edited: Aug 8, Almost every sentence in moves and set details is "X allows Lucario to Y".

Extreme Speed allows Lucario to also be a fantastic late-game cleaner against Offensive offensive teams. Lucario helps Steel teams in many match ups such as Dark-, Normal-, and other Steel-type teams as matchups, such as against Dark, Normal, and opposing Steel, as it is capable of taking on threatening Pokemon such as Mandibuzz, Chansey, and Heatran , AC respectively.

Due to Lucario's rather middling speed it Speed, it is threatened by most speedy attackers and relies on Extreme Speed to take on faster Pokemon such as Tapu Koko and Mega Charizard X, which would otherwise beat it. Lucario does not appreciate being Burnt or Paralyzed as they affect burned or paralyzed, as this affects its ability to sweep by cutting its Attack and or Speed in half, respectively. Earthquake allows Lucario uses Earthquake to hit reliably hit Poison-type Pokemon that resist Close Combat and defensive walls such as Fighting-resistant Poison-types like Toxapex, which would otherwise easily wall Lucario.

Ice Punch allows Lucario to reliably hit Dragon Dragon- , Ground-, and Flying-type Pokemon, most notably Gliscor, which is otherwise is a nuisance to Steel-type teams and can easily overwhelm the rest of the team. Justified allows Lucario to lets Lucario take advantage of passive walls such as Mandibuzz that check setup sweepers with Foul Play while also allowing Lucario to switch into weak Dark-type attacks such as Alolan Muk's Knock Off as well as other weak Dark-type attacks such as Alolan Muk's Knock Off.

Luc switches into it either way, justified just lets luc take advantage of it. Lucario can setup set up on non-threatening choice locked Choice-locked Pokemon such as Hydreigon locked into Dark Pulse. Lucario should setup set up safely once its main checks such as Mega Sableye have been weakened enough to a point where Lucario can handle them. This is because Lucario can not setup reliably Swords Dance set up multiple times through the throughout a game , AC as its natural bulk it is rather poor and needs to be timed well.

Lucario should be used as a revenge killer by bringing it in after a teammate has fainted and either setup setting up with Swords Dance if a teammate is not threatened by Close Combat or just attack attacking with Close Combat if it has no switch-ins , AC depending on the opposing team. Like with other setup sweepers , AC Lucario does not appreciate status conditions and should avoid being burnt or paralyzed, as they severely hinder its ability to sweep.

Celesteela provides Lucario with a solid Ground-type immunity and can provide switch-ins to is a Ground-immune partner that can switch into fast attackers such as Excadrill for Lucario. Celesteela can also help Lucario setup set up safely by providing Leech Seed support giving it more health allowing it to setup. It's bordering on very redundant. Heatran provides Lucario with a solid Fire-type immunity and can stall can check Fire-types for Lucario and break Pokemon that it has difficulty against such as Mega Venusaur with Magma Storm and Taunt.

Skarmory provides another Ground-type immunity, however is another Ground-immune partner; however, instead of supporting Lucario with Leech Seed, Skarmory can setup set entry hazards allowing so Lucario to can more easily clean late-game.

Lucario can also take care of Pokemon such as Choice Specs Magnezone which that try to trap and kill Skarmory. Mega Scizor provides is a fantastic slow offensive pivot which allows it to bring in Mega that can bring in Lucario safely. Choice Scarf Excadrill makes a nice Speed control core with Lucario as it speed control core is both not a thing and incorrect in terms of the definition of speed control in smogon writing can outspeed many key threats such as Tapu Koko with Choice Scarf.

Excadrill that trouble Lucario, and it appreciates Lucario's ability to take on some of its counters such as Skarmory and Celesteela. Ferrothorn can hazard stack hazards for Lucario while also providing Leech Seed support and act acting as a blanket check to many Special Attackers special attackers such as Greninja and Latios.
