There are two ways to get a Shiny Lucario.

  • Encountering a Shiny Riolu or a Shiny Lucario
  • Using Mass Outbreaks and Space-Time Distortions to catch a Shiny Lucario

Also if possible then you should use a Shiny charm as it helps increase your shiny encounter chances.

Encountering a Shiny Riolu or Lucario

There are two places where you can encounter a Riolu or a Lucario.

  • South of Snowfall Hot Springs in Alabaster Islands
  • Icebond Falls

You will have to repeatedly encounter multiple Riolu and Lucario here until you end up catching a shiny. The best part is it doubles your chances of getting a Shiny Lucario because if you catch a Shiny Riolu you can easily evolve it.

Using Mass Outbreaks and Space-Time Distortions to catch a Shiny Lucario

If you come across a Lucario Mass Outbreak, it will spawn many Lucario for around 15 minutes. The faster you catch the more it spawns, thus increasing your chances of coming across a Shiny Lucario.

The Space-Time distortions work similarly but are less reliable than Mass outbreaks. Even if they might not be your best bet of catching a shiny, never miss out on a Space-Time Distortion as it spawns many Pokemon and one of them might be a Shiny Riolu or Lucario.
