Partly Cloudy
Cloudy Boosts Super Effective Fighting type attacks Boosts Fighting type moves
Rainy
Snow Boosts Steel type moves
Fog Boosts Ghost type moves
Windy

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!
