Part 2. How to Get Lucario in Pokémon GO

Here are the different ways you can add Lucario to your lineup.

Method 1. Obtain Riolu and Evolve it

Lucario evolves from Riolu, which can only be obtained through egg hatching:

• 10km Eggs: Riolu is most commonly found in 10km eggs, especially those earned via Adventure Sync rewards. Walk 25 km or 50 km in a week with Adventure Sync enabled to earn these special eggs. If you want to get 10km eggs in Pokémon Go more easily, you can refer to the tutorial in part 3.
• Event Eggs: During certain limited-time events (like Riolu Hatch Day), Riolu may appear in 2 km or 7 km eggs with a higher hatch rate. These events are the best time to grind for Riolu.

Once you've got Riolu, you need to collect 50 Riolu Candy and then tap on Riolu and hit the Evolve button. To earn candy faster, set Riolu as your buddy, and then you'll get 1 candy every 5 km walked. You can also use Rare Candies or transfer extra Riolu to gain more candy.

Method 2. Catch Lucario in Raids

Lucario sometimes shows up as a 3-star Raid Boss, especially during special events. You will get a chance to catch Lucario directly after you defeat the Boss.

Keep an eye on the in-game raid schedule or announcements to know when Lucario will be featured.
