General Best Moves:
* Close Combat: Lucario's signature move, dealing massive damage and boasting high accuracy. However, it lowers its Defense and Special Defense, making it vulnerable.
* Aura Sphere: A powerful Special move with high accuracy and the potential for critical hits. It's a versatile option for both offense and defense.
* Extreme Speed: A fast move that can be used for priority attacks, allowing Lucario to attack before slower opponents.
* Bullet Punch: Another priority move that packs a punch, dealing good damage with high accuracy.

Other Considerations:
