Say hello to one of the best anti-P2 pokemon, Mega Lucario. I don't really need to explain on how much P2 gets wrecked by this poke, do I? Well, I'll explain anyways. Lucario resists anything P2 throws at it, excluding Discharge and Shadow Ball, but I don't see too much usage of that move anymore as most people run Foul Play now. It also has an immunity to toxic, so it can't be recover stalled at all. Mega Lucario can also 2HKO Porygon2 in return with Aura Sphere, or it can set up a Nasty Plot and OHKO the next turn. Mega Luc is also pretty viable in Battle Spot, taking care of threats like Mega Kangaskhan, Cresselia if running Dark Pulse + Nasty Plot, Ferrothorn, and more. Vaccum Wave is nice priority as well, but a tad weak. I find Substitute Mega Lucario to be somewhat underrated, as it allows it to avoid Paralysis from the likes of P2, Cresselia and Ferrothorn, and set up a Nasty Plot as well. Sub+3 Attacks is a functional set as well, but you miss out on some boosted power, while Sub + Nasty Plot misses out on coverage. Physical Mega Luc is great as well, I just didn't want to post two sets, and I prefer special sets myself. Physical Mega Lucario should definitely be running Justified, as it gets a free boost if Porygon2 decides to use Foul Play on it. Now, the calcs.
