Hey everyone! I have been getting a lot of questions about what to do if you don’t have a Bastiodon, there is hope!
Firstly we need to look at the role that Bastiodon fulfills, to cover Lucario’s weakness.
– Altaria, Charizard, Alolan Marowak (Most likely to see)
So the goal is to find other Pokemon that can perform in this same role
– Lapras (Ice Shard + Ice Beam/Surf)
1. Covers – Charizard, Altaria (Dragons in general), and does well vs Alolan Marowak
1. Covers – Altaria, Alolan Marowak, Bastiodon (yes whoops on Bastiodon)
These two combined can help cover your Lucario (not recommended to run both at the same time). If they have a Charizard threat, run that IS Lapras. If they have Altaria and Alolan Marowak maybe run that Steelix!
Finally a not so amazing, but still has his moments Alternative to Bastiodon
– Melmetal (Thunder-shock + Thunderbolt/Rock Slide)
1. Covers – Altaria (Very well)
2. Gets beat by a lot of other Lucario counters – Charizard for example
I hope this post helps you guys who are in need of something other than Bastiodon (Like myself)!
