[SET COMMENTS]
Mega Lucario's potent STAB combination and serviceable Speed tier make it an effective wallbreaker on balance teams. Sunsteel Strike ignoring Fur Coat further differentiates Mega Lucario from other wallbreakers of its caliber, denting walls like Arceus-Ghost and Yveltal more easily; Steel STAB also notably makes it much more effective against Fur Coat Mega Audino. Bolt Strike decimates Ho-Oh, 2HKOes Fur Coat Celesteela, and can potentially eliminate Mega Slowbro after chip damage and entry hazards. U-turn allows Mega Lucario to escape unfavorable matchups like Fur Coat Arceus-Ghost to bring in a teammate that can handle them, and it can also help accumulate chip damage on Mega Slowbro. Mega Lucario's good matchup against Fur Coat walls like Mega Audino and Arceus-Fairy makes it synergize well with teammates like Ash-Greninja and Mega Garchomp; it also appreciates entry hazards from teammates like RegenVest pivots utilizing Stone Axe. Said RegenVest pivots can also bring in Mega Lucario via slow pivoting, which is helpful, since its poor bulk and complete reliance on its held item prevent it from doing so on its own. Other slow pivots like Teleport Mega Audino and Dialga-O are also appreciated, with Dialga-O in particular setting up uncomfortable situations for the opponent with Doom Desire, enhancing Mega Lucario's wallbreaking ability. Mega Lucario should be Imposter-proofed with Fur Coat Mega Slowbro or a neutral Fur Coat wall like Arceus-Ghost.

Mega Lucario's potent STAB combination and serviceable Speed tier make it an effective wallbreaker on balance teams. Somewhere there needs to be a mention of Sunsteel that distinguishes it from more powerful breakers. Bolt Strike decimates Ho-Oh, provides a no-drawback option against foes like Primal Kyogre and Celesteela, and can potentially eliminate Mega Slowbro after chip damage and entry hazards. U-turn allows Mega Lucario to escape unfavorable matchups like Fur Coat Arceus-Ghost to bring in a teammate that can handle them. Mega Lucario's good matchup into Fur Coat walls like Mega Audino and Arceus-Fairy makes it synergize well with teammates like Ashgren first mention since better + speed + mu into ghost, can keep chomp Mega Garchomp; it also appreciates entry hazards from teammates like RegenVest pivots utilizing Stone Axe. Said RegenVest pivots can also bring in Mega Lucario via slow pivoting, which is helpful, since its typing and poor bulk prevents it from doing so on its own. Other slow pivots like Teleport Mega Audino and Dialga-O are also appreciated, with Dialga-O in particular setting up uncomfortable situations for the opponent with Doom Desire, enhancing Mega Lucario's wallbreaking ability. Mega Lucario should be Imposter-proofed with a neutral Fur Coat wall like Arceus-Ghost.
