How to Get Lucario in Pokémon Diamond

Last Updated: September 3, 2020

Getting Lucario in Pokémon Diamond is just as easy as getting it in Pearl. As a matter of fact it is the EXACT SAME. But there is a certain process and place to start of your journey to get a Lucario. It all starts on Iron Island.

Steps

1
Take the boat from Canalave City to a place called Iron Island.
2
Upon arrival you will be greeted by a young man who will ask you to come through the island with him.
3
Upon exiting the cave, he will give you a Riolu egg.
4
After hatching the Pokémon, take it everywhere. If you have a Soothe Bell, have Riolu hold it; it will make getting Riolu to evolve quicker.
5
If you complete this procedure (while also leveling Riolu up), your friendship/bond with the Pokémon will grow allowing it to reach its full potential and evolve into your long awaited (and well worth it) Lucario.
