    I have liked lucario for years but now i dont know. Based on its attack moves i would say it is great pokemon for a 4th Gen team but what do you think about lucario?:rolleyes:

    It's... okay... I guess... It worked better in DW UU.
    But it's a nice choice for any team,
    so yes

    It's probably one of the best Swords Dancers in D/P/Pt OU. With its many resistances, you'll normally get a Swords Dance in almost any game. And although its speed can sometimes be lackluster, you have Extremespeed and Bullet Punch for that. Many people use Gliscor, Flygon, etc., to counter Lucario, so you can even use Agility out speed these threats and KO with Ice Punch. Choice Specs is also an interesting alternative. Because most of Lucario's counters are physically orientated, you are able to get surprise kills with the appropriate move or at least severely injure them. All in all, Lucario is a very versatile Pokemon who can fit in most teams with ease and is a very solid Pokemon, in my opinion, of course!

    It was an amazing pokemon for Gen 4. It has an amazing movepool (for both physical and special), amazing stats, and a decent ability. I rarely ever see it in Gen 5 now, which is a same :/

    This.
    And @Suzalicious that was my opinion on Lucario in the 5th gen. In 4th gen it was an extremely powerful sweeper. But now, it's become more and more meh due to things like scouting Poison heal Gliscor and Multinite always wanting to cause it problems.

    But this topic is in 4th gen, so it isn't a problem
    Lucario got quite hyped at early dp with specs, after garchomp ban sdcario taked it's place and became one of the most powerful sweepers
    it's still very good but you must watch out from scarfers like rotom-a or tyranitar.
    A good idea would be to use him with scarftar for scarftom and giving lucario bullet punch, which helps him against gengar and scarftar
    You might also consider some pokes who can take enemy wows like shaymin

    use SD/Close Combat/Crunch or Ice Punch/Extremespeed, that is really the single best gen 4 Luke set (Crunch is for Ghost who are immune to CC and Espeed; Ice Punch is for Gliscor, Flygon, and Nite though Flygon and Gliscor need to be hit on the switch).
