Lucario Ex In Pokémon TCG Pocket: Best Fighting Deck Builds

Lucario ex has arrived in Pokémon TCG Pocket as one of the most versatile Fighting-type ex cards in the game. With its balanced stats and ability to power up quickly, Lucario ex fits into multiple Fighting deck archetypes. This guide covers the best Lucario ex deck builds, card synergies, and competitive strategies for the current meta.

Lucario ex Card Overview

Lucario ex is a Fighting-type Basic ex Pokémon with 170 HP. Its key attack, Aura Sphere, deals 120 damage for two Fighting Energy and ignores effects on the Defending Pokémon. This bypasses tools like Rocky Helmet and abilities that reduce damage, making it a reliable attacker against any opponent.

Key Synergies and Strategy

Lucario ex pairs well with Hitmonlee, which can pick off damaged bench Pokémon for knockouts. Use Boss’s Orders to drag up threats that Lucario ex can one-shot with Aura Sphere. The Gallade ex backup ensures you have a strong secondary attacker if Lucario ex goes down early.

Matchups and Counters

Lucario ex performs well against Darkness, Steel, and Normal-type decks thanks to Aura Sphere ignoring defensive effects. It struggles against Psychic decks with Mewtwo ex or Gardevoir, which can one-shot Lucario ex before it builds up energy. Water-type decks with high HP ex Pokémon like Palkia ex also pose a threat.

Final Tips

Always lead with Riolu and evolve to Lucario ex as soon as possible. The 170 HP pool lets it survive one hit from most attackers, giving you a turn to respond. Consider adding a single copy of Fighting Dojo for consistency.
