How To Teach Lucario Aura Sphere Pokã©mon Go

Okay, so you wanna teach your Lucario Aura Sphere in Pokémon GO, huh? Good choice! It's a fantastic move. Almost as fantastic as finally finding a Riolu in the wild. (Seriously, those little guys are rarer than hen's teeth!). Let's get you throwing those energy balls like a pro.

First Things First: Is Your Lucario Eligible?

Before we dive deep, gotta make sure your Lucario can actually learn Aura Sphere. Not every Lucario is created equal, sadly. Think of it like some people being naturally good at math and others... well, others just stare blankly at spreadsheets. (No judgement, I'm one of those spreadsheet-staring types).

Aura Sphere is a Charged Attack. That means you won't find it in Lucario's Fast Attack moveset. So, you'll be replacing one of its existing Charged Attacks.

Generally speaking, any Lucario should be able to learn Aura Sphere as a Charged Attack. So, you're probably good to go! But hey, double-check just to be absolutely sure. No point in wasting resources, right?

TM Time: Technical Machines to the Rescue!

Alright, this is where the magic happens! You'll need a Charged TM. Those little beauties are your key to unlocking Aura Sphere. Where do you get 'em, you ask? Good question!

Charged TMs are usually rewards for battling in Raids (the higher the tier, the better your chances!) or completing certain Special Research tasks. Sometimes, they even pop up as rewards in the Go Battle League. Gotta earn that Aura Sphere, my friend!

So, you’ve got your TM? Excellent! Now, navigate to your Lucario in your Pokémon storage. You know, the place where all your digital critters hang out. Tap on your Lucario. Scroll down until you see its moves. You’ll see its Fast Attack and its Charged Attack(s).

Tap on "Charged Attacks." You should see an option to use a TM. Tap that! A list of possible Charged Attacks will appear. And, fingers crossed, Aura Sphere will be one of them!

If Aura Sphere isn't on the list, that's super weird. Make absolutely sure you are using a Charged TM and not a Fast TM. It's an easy mistake to make, trust me! If it still isn't there... well, maybe it's a sign from Arceus that your Lucario is destined for a different path. (Just kidding... probably. Maybe try restarting the app?).

Teaching (and Re-Teaching!): The RNG Gods are Watching.

Here's the slightly annoying part: TMs don’t let you choose the move. They give you a random new move from Lucario's learnable pool. So, you might not get Aura Sphere on your first try. You might have to use several TMs. Don't despair! It happens to the best of us. Think of it as... character building? Yeah, let's go with that.

Keep using those Charged TMs until Aura Sphere finally appears! Once it does, BAM! Your Lucario is now packing some serious energy ball power.

Powering Up Aura Sphere: Stardust and Candy, Oh My!

Okay, so you have Aura Sphere. Awesome! But a basic Aura Sphere is like a toddler throwing a tantrum – kinda cute, but not super effective. You wanna power it up! To do that, you’ll need Stardust and Lucario Candy.

You get Stardust from catching Pokémon, hatching eggs, completing research tasks, and battling. Lucario Candy comes from catching or hatching Riolu (and using Pinap Berries!), transferring Lucario/Riolu, or making them your buddy and walking around.

Go to your Lucario's profile page again. You'll see options to "Power Up" and use Stardust and Candy. Keep powering up that Aura Sphere! The more you power it up, the more damage it'll do in battles. It's like giving your Lucario a serious protein shake!

Aura Sphere: Unleash the Power!

And that's it! You've successfully taught your Lucario Aura Sphere! Now go out there and dominate some raids, crush some gyms, and generally show everyone what a badass energy ball-throwing machine your Lucario is! Just... you know... don't actually throw energy balls at people. That's frowned upon. (Probably illegal too).

Happy battling!
