[SET COMMENTS]
Magic Guard + Life Orb Lucario is a potent mixed attacker with powerful STAB attacks. Focus Blast can 2HKO special walls such as Blissey and Ting-Lu as well as physically defensive Corviknight after Steel Beam, while Aura Sphere is a weaker but more reliable alternative. Nasty Plot can be used to boost Lucario's wallbreaking ability, while Stone Edge is an alternative option to deal with Talonflame and Volcarona, which resists its STAB combination. Special attackers like Iron Moth and Gengar appreciate Lucario's ability to break through special walls such as Sand Stream Garganacl and Regenerator Roaring Moon. Additionally, fast physical attackers such as Chien-Pao and Meowscarada also pair well with Lucario, as they can take care of faster threats that Lucario is susceptible to while Lucario breaks through physical walls like Corviknight and Kingambit. Lucario is very frail, so it is recommended to pair it with Pokemon that can safely pivot it in like Corviknight. Lucario can also have a hard time breaking through bulky Water-types like Toxapex and Slowking, so pairing it with a strong Electric-type attacker like Sandy Shocks or Kilowattrel is worthwhile.

Magic Guard + Life Orb Lucario is a potent mixed attacker Mixed Attacker with powerful STAB attacks.(add) in Close Combat and Steel Beam that are further boosted by Life Orb. Aura Sphere is used for a consistent special fighting move, while Focus Blast provides more power to break through foes. <- Instead of such a generic sentence, maybe give an example of something(s) you'd want to use Focus Blast for (e.g. The consistency of Aura Sphere can be traded for Focus Blast in order to _) Nasty Plot can be used to boost Lucario's wallbreaking ability, while Earthquake is an alternative option to deal with Toxapex that would otherwise wall its STAB combo. Special Attackers like Iron Moth and Gengar appreciate Lucario's ability to break through special walls such as Sand Stream Garganacl and Regenerator Roaring Moon. Additionally, fast Physical Attackers such as Chien-Pao and Meowscarada also pair well with Lucario as they can take care of faster threats that Lucario could be susceptible to while Lucario could break through physical walls like Corviknight and Kingambit. Lucario is very frail, so it is recommended to pair it with pokemon that can safely pivot it in like Corviknight. Lucario can also have a hard time breaking through bulky waters like Toxapex Maybe use a different example since the analysis already explains that EQ overcomes Toxapexand Slowking, so pairing it with a strong electric attacker like Sandy Shocks or Kilowattrel is worthwhileadvisedImplications of "advised" makes it seem like Lucario should always be paired with an electric attacker if possible, which isn't true.

Magic Guard + Life Orb Lucario is a potent mixed attacker with powerful STAB attacks. The consistency of Aura Sphere can be traded for Focus Blast in order to 2HKO specially defensive walls like Chansey and Ting-Lu (add hyphen).

implemented
 
later but I'd mention that Focus Blast allows Lucario to kill Corviknight after Steel Beam which is way more valuable than Aura Sphere (I'd invert the order too, Focus >> Aura Sphere) and mentioning Stone Edge somewhere bc it's probably more reliable than Earthquake which only hits Toxapex (and doesnt even 2HKO lol) when edge hits Talonflame & Volcarona which are arguably the best offensive checks to Lucario (and still hits Moth / Skele). You also hit better Gyarados if you call that a check, even though it loses after rocks and only comes once
I'd also emphasize on Lucario weakness being it's hard to bring it on the field & mention pivots in general (which many you quoted are, kilo, shocks, moth, etc) but they're particularly valuable cuz they can bring it. idt it adds too much informations and it's still a short analysis but I feel like it depicts how Lucario works better
