Mega Pokémon in Pokémon Go are some of the strongest choices for raids or when taking on Team Rocket. For anyone planning on using Mega Lucario, it’s helpful to know which moves to learn and how to give it the best moveset.

There are several options to choose from when considering the best moves to give Mega Lucario. We can narrow down those choices to ensure that you get the most out of your time with Mega Lucario in every Pokémon Go encounter. Here's what you need to know about the best moveset and moves to learn for Mega Lucario in Pokémon Go.

When using Mega Lucario in Pokémon Go, the best moveset to learn is the quick move Force Palm and the charged moves Blaze Kick and Close Combat. After Mega Lucario debuts, it unlocks the ability to learn Force Palm, which is somewhat similar to Counter, previously the superior Fighting-type move.

When choosing a fast move, Counter has been the go-to option for Lucario and many other Fighting-type Pokémon. With Mega Lucario, Lucario can now learn to use Force Palm, and it’s only a minor upgrade from Counter. Still, an upgrade is important, and if you’re using Mega Lucario, Force Palm is the better option if you can afford it. Bullet Punch, another fast move that Mega Lucario can learn, isn’t a good option and shouldn’t be considered.
