Palkia is a pretty powerful Pokemon and his Arm Blade attacks can deal a lot of damage. Luckily, Lucario can block these strikes with his psychic sword or just evade them altogether. He now has access to his Mega form, which makes his power legendary as well. Lucario’s main advantage in this battle is his super speed and it may be a deciding factor in his battle against Palkia. Lucario wins.

Lucario fighting / steel type
Palkia water / dragon type
Fighting is ineffective against dragon types. Dragon type moves are super effective against steel. Lucario has high attack and special attack, but has low defense and special defense. Palkia has high stats that are close to each other. In the 260 to 400 range. Lucario needs a mega stone to mega evolve. If he does get it, then it is only fair if Palkia gets the lustrous orb. Lucario would only win if it was my lucario.
Your Lucario must be pretty impressive! Palkia gets the orb as well, but Lucario’s Mega Form takes this. The hand to hand techniques are very fierce and I don’t see Palkia being able to keep up with them. Palkia has some very lethal attacks of his own, but Lucario can counter them with his aura abilities. They get stronger as he gets weaker to it’s a very potent attack. The type disadvantage makes it risky for Lucario, but not impossible.
Because of the type advantage, palkia can one shot lucario, even in his mega form. Lucario’s aura powers pale in comparison to Palkia’s reality warping powers. He’s is the god of space, after all. Lucario’s only hope of winning is his speed and physical strength. After playing a lot of Gen 5 and 6, I’ve noticed that the move stone edge can easily ko my lvl 100 lucario, even in mega form. And I’ve trained him using a macho brace and even gave him a bunch of stat boosting items. So he’s pretty strong. But if palkia can use stone edge, lucario is dead.
Type advantages are good, but I believe that one shot is pushing it. Lucario is extremely powerful and Brawl helped him out a lot. His final smash would deal massive damage to Palkia. Both of them would be at lvl 100 in this battle, but Lucario’s speed and hand to hand skills should give him the edge. He’ll get a lot more hits on Palkia than Palkia can return, which will eventually add up to his win
Obvious Pokemon noob is obvious. Palkia’s high sp.attack + greater speed than Lucario + aura sphere = gg Lucario
Don’t make me bring up anime or lore Palkia who was easily warping space and destroying reality in his fight with Dialga. Palkia can even universe bust along with Dialga. Lucario does not stand a chance. Again its steel jackal with aura abilities vs the manifestation of the reality around us, the being who represents a factor of the universe.
Noob? I’ve played Fire Red, Ruby and Diamond. I haven’t gotten the latest ones yet, but I’m working on it! They just come out with so many that it’s tough to keep up. Now, are you forgetting about Lucario’s Mega Form? That easily makes him much faster than Palkia and his attack power is nearly up to par. The universe busting was always dicey at best and warping space with a big fight is nothing compared to a Pokemon who can reach the summit of a mountain before the Ice Climbers. Palkia is strong, but he’s far too slow to keep up.
Palkia is actually faster than Lucario because he can easily warp Lucario into a repeat loop by messing around with reality so Lucario finds himself in the same place over and over again. Yes, his Spacial Rend attack actually annihilated a universe which he and Dialga created. Also the latest games came out ages ago. Black and White came out at least six years ago.
I’m still catching up with the games, but I’ll be there soon. As for his universe busting, it’ll still be tough to use that before Lucario has his way with him. Messing with reality has its limits and it doesn’t take away the fact that Lucario will still have the speed edge. Palkia will be at the end of his rope and some good aura attacks will take him out.
Yeah lucario does not beat palkia, in game, technically lucario can in some circumstances depending on levels and movesets, but most of the time palkia beats lucario
Base palkia already has greater stats than lucario and moves like aura sphere or earth power can two shot a lucario, meanwhile, lucario really only has dragon pulse to rely on but with palkia’s better speed and special attack and defense, it’s likely palkia’s gonna take out lucario before lucario can actually beat palkia.
Now with lucario’s mega form he does become faster and has better attack power now, which gives lucario a better chance, but his special defense doesn’t get a buff so now it’s just back to palkia pretty much one or two shotting lucario, and this is not factoring in palkia’s orgin forme, which makes it faster than lucario with greater special attack, so now he’s one shotting lucario.
In the anime or canon it’s an even bigger stomp, palkia’s a literal god that controls space, any attack from palkia is gonna send lucario flying. In the games palkia’s stated to be the creator of parallel universes and it’s fight with dialga distorted time and space. Lucario has no such feats to have him surpass those.
Game Lucario vs Palkia: depends on levels, Ev’s and Iv’s, movesets etc, but the stat advantage and better super effective moves gives palkia the win more often
Anime or game Lucario vs Palkia: Palkia stomps
Palkia has great attack power but I don’t see him landing a blow. When Lucario goes into Mega Mode, he can run circles around Palkia. At that point he just needs to activate an ExtremeSpeed move and that’s the end of the fight. Palkia will be left wondering exactly what just happened and Lucario can hit him with a barrage of aura blasts. Palkia’s durability won’t last for long and then it’s curtains for him.
For in game, i just tried this exact scenario in a pokemon battle simulator, i gave mega lucario max attack and speed ev’s and iv’s, and gave palkia no defense or special attack ev’s and iv’s. Palkia two shotted lucario, whereas lucario only got palkia down to half with two hits from extreme speed. As for the anime and canon, lucario would have been swatted away instantly. Mega lucario has lost to pokemon weaker than it like pikachu and dragonite before and has even needed help to stop powerful opponents like The giant zygarde rock during the final battle in pokemon xyz, which needed the real complete zygarde to defeat, and palkia is above that version of zygarde. So no, Mega lucario is not doing anything to Palkia, let alone it’s orgin form.
This is ridiculously mismatched; How would a Legendary lose to a Pokémon more or less on par with a fully evolved starter?
Lucario’s had the benefit of just getting to appear a lot more. Palkia should logically be stronger as a legendary but Lucario has shown better speed and enough power to really damage Palkia. It’s hard to see Palkia making the comeback here
Yeah…I’m not buyin’ that. No matter the amount of appearances, a fully evolved starter equivalent is not winning against a legendary.
