Why

Mega Lucario ex Deck’s core Pokémon are weak to psychic. That explains part of the spread above — but the percentages are measured from recorded games, so a deck can beat it without ever exploiting the type chart.

How this is measured

Each percentage comes from games recorded between the two archetypes in competitive tournaments, decayed by age with a 35-day half-life so the numbers track the current meta. A pairing appears only once it has at least two tournaments of evidence, and rates are capped at 25–75% to stop a thin sample reading as a hard counter. Measured 3 August 2026.
