Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it.

Reminder: Mega-Evolved Pokémon give other Pokémon special bonuses when brought to a Raid Battle. While a Mega-Evolved Pokémon is on the battlefield, all Trainers’ Pokémon receive an attack boost to all their attacks and gain an additional attack boost if their attack types match the Mega-Evolved Pokémon’s type(s).

It may be a good idea to try to get a weather-boosted Lucario, during Snow or Cloudy weather, in case of a Mega Lucario release in the future. From the above table, any weather that will boost your attacks will also boost Lucario’s potential movepool. We suggest going in well-prepared with strong counters, and you should be absolutely fine!
