The new Alpha monsters are just a taste of what’s to come.

Both of these Pokemon can be encountered at the Alabaster Icelands. Look just north of the Icebound Falls. This region can be found to the west of Whiteout Valley. Both the unevolved and evolved forms can be found here. Although, it’s worth bearing in mind that  Lucario spawns are quite hard to find organically, you will have a much easier time just catching a Riolu and evolving it. The process for catching both is similar, but the basic variant will be much easier. You want to sneak close and get within range to toss stuff at them. Don’t spook them, as both are aggressive and will likely attack if you scare them. Wait until the Riolu is close to some tall grass and sneak over. Once you can, toss a berry to bait them closer and distract them. Once they start munching down, stealthily toss a Pokéball to try and grab them.

Be careful, as there’s some hidden danger here. There is also an Alpha Lucario that makes its territory around the Icebound Falls. It’s a major threat as it spawns at level 70 and can easily KO and unprepared Trainer.
