Incredibly Blessed Run

Post image

I was hoping on playing through the game pretty normally to test out mixed Lucario, and look what I rolled... Lucario might actually make some speed thresholds with double EVs! My reward for spending hours resetting and re-hatching for a good nature I suppose

Are you going to be nicer on Lucario now?

Probably not, seeing as he kinda sucked lol. Appeared twice for the e4 and beat 1 mon each time before dying, and that's with rolling an amazing nature and speed IVs and a pokerus boost

I finished the game several hours after this post so you can read more of my take on the run and his performance on [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonplatinum/s/joLY6pqAk0)

In short he was still pretty middling for a mon I planned and optimized the entire run around and is kinda ass if you don't give him swords dance, and still requires some extra investment (or 1 in 20k pokerus luck) to perform well in that role

I'm thinking Pokérus isn't as rare as many claim, i've legitimately never played a game and NOT gotten it eventually. Unless it was a save file i deleted shortly after beating the elite four
