Among the top Fighting Types in Pokemon Go, few have quite as much hype in their corner as Lucario. Something of a semi-rarity in this game to this day, it's got a lot of power right now and huge potential in the near future, so everyone definitely wants to farm it. However, Riolu remains hard to find to this day... but that's finally going to change! With the Riolu Hatch Day on the near horizon, it's finally time to farm down this Fighting Type.
