In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, players may want to find and catch the Fighting-Steel type Pokémon Lucario. Lucario is a returning fourth-generation Pokémon that is a popular addition to teams as players explore the region of Hisui. Players can either try their luck at finding a rare Lucario in the wild, or find its pre-evolved form of Riolu, and evolve a Riolu into Lucario. Of note, Lucario can be found with the abilities of Steadfast, Inner Focus, and Justified.

Players should be able to easily find and catch a Pokémon Legends: Arceus wild Riolu at Icebond Falls. To access this location, players should use a Hisuian Sneasel to climb the mountain.

Accordingly, players should crouch and sneak through the grass as much as possible when approaching Riolu. Alternatively, players can also search for a wild Riolu by traveling to Alabaster Icelands and then heading to a pond located South of the Snowfall Hot Spring.
