How To Beat Maylene 3rd Gym Leader In Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

When you get to Maylene, you will need to face her three Pokemon in battle. These are: Meditite, Machoke, and Lucario. The first two are not a big problem in themselves, and you shouldn’t have too much problem countering them using your own Flying and Fairy-type Pokemon. The Lucario, however, is a different story. This is a very rare Pokemon, and the only way to get it in the game is to first acquire a Riolu Egg which you can then hatch and evolve into Lucario.

Lucario Weakness – Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

Lucario is a Fighting / Steel Pokemon type. It is resistant to Normal, Grass, Rock, Bug, Ice, Steel, Dark, and Dragon-type abilities, which counts out quite a few Pokemon in any player’s party. Additionally, it has a high speed and damage output, making it very lethal. However, it is weak to Ground, Fighting, and Fire types. A Pokemon that has the Intimidate ability will lower Lucario’s high attack stat, which is a great debuff for this Pokemon. Staravia, Luxio, and Luxray have this ability, so they can be used to counter Lucario.
