'''Lucario''' is a powerful Fighting/Steel Pokémon that evolves from [[Riolu]]. He was introduced within the fourth generation of games in ''[[Pokémon: Diamond Version|Diamond]]'' and ''[[Pokémon: Pearl Version|Pearl]]''. In the sixth generation games, Lucario is among the Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution.

=Information=

A Lucario is a somewhat humanoid creature with an appearance resembling a blue, bipedal jackal. It is covered with three spikes - two on each hand and one on the chest. Its facial fur makes provides the illusion that Lucario is wearing a mask, with two dangling flaps hanging in the back, suggesting a tied knot behind the face.

It possesses the unique ability to sense the aura in other creatures. Using this ability, it can read their thoughts and determine their movements, despite not being a Psychic Pokémon. It is even capable of understanding human speech. Its Aura-reading abilities allow it to see even invisible opponents, and a well-trained Lucario can sense an Aura to identify and take in the feelings of creatures over half a mile away. They are even said to be capable of controlling auras. Lucario are known to hunt in packs, and with their own auras they can crush boulders into dust. However, they can also be easily stressed out by reading the thoughts of others and finding out things that they do not wish to know.

A Lucario will only evolve from a Riolu leveling up during the daytime after reaching full happiness. While Lucario has no natural evolution, it can Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario with the Mega Stone known as Lucarionite. Mega Lucario is believed to be the first discovered Mega Evolution within [[Kalos]].

=Appearances=
==Mainstream Games==

In most appearances, Lucario cannot be found in the wild and is only obtainable by evolving a Riolu, or through promotional Nintendo events. The only exception so far is in ''[[Pokémon: Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon]]'', ''[[Pokémon: Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]'', where there is a chance that a Riolu, found at Poni Grove, will summon Lucario for help in an SOS Battle.

A Lucario can be obtained from [[Korrina]] at the Tower of Mastery in ''[[Pokémon X and Y|X and Y]]''. She initially lends the Lucario to the player for a battle in which she teaches the trainer how to use Mega Evolution, and she decides to let the player keep it after they complete the lesson.

==Other Games==

Although not appearing in the game, Lucario is mentioned in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Teams|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]'' as the greatest rescue leader of all time, specifically by [[Alakazam]] who wants to reach the same level of greatness. By earning 15,000 Rescue Points, the player will be gifted a Lucario statue for reaching the top rank.

In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness and Time|Explorers of Time]]'', Lucario can be found on the eleventh through seventeenth basement floors of the Lost Wilderness. In ''[[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]'', Lucario appears in Almia Castle as the guardian of the Blue Gem. In ''[[Pokémon Rumble]]'', it is found at the Windy Prairie. In ''[[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]'', it appeared at Oblivia Ruins, the Thunder Temple and the Light Temple. Lucario also appeared in ''[[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]'' at the Flower Zone.

=Other Appearances=

==Video Games==

*In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', Lucario appeared as one of the [[Mystery Mushroom]] costumes that [[Mario]] could transform into. Its costume could be unlocked as a random prize for completing a 100 Mario Challenge on Expert or harder, or by scanning an [[amiibo]] of Lucario.

===Super Smash Bros.===

[[Image:LucarioBrawl.jpg|150px|right]]
In the ''[[Portal: Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, Lucario has been featured as a playable fighter starting in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and continuing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It initially replaced [[Mewtwo]] in the roster and bears some similar moves. As in the original games, its attacks involving Aura become more powerful as Lucario takes more damage. In the 3DS/Wii U game, Lucario gaines a new Final Smash in the form of a Mega Evolution into Mega Lucario.

In ''Brawl'', Lucario must be unlocked by playing 100 brawls, beating Target Smash!! on all difficulty levels or getting Lucario to join the party in "The Subspace Emissary". In ''Ultimate'', Lucario could be unlocked through the game's variable-based system for unlocking new characters or by awakening it in Adventure Mode.

Lucario has also been represented by two unlockable trophies (one being of its Final Smash) and a sticker in ''Brawl'', two trophies (plus on of its Final Smash in the Wii U version) in the 3DS/Wii U game and a Fighter [[Spirit]] in ''Ultimate'' as well as an Ace-rank Primary Spirit for Mega Lucario.

===Brawl: Subspace Emissary===

Within "The Subspace Emissary", Lucario was first seen meditating atop Glacial Mountain when [[Meta Knight]] and the [[Ice Climbers]] arrived. Seemingly displeased that his meditation had been disturbed, he then engaged Meta Knight in battle. After the battle, they shook hands and teamed up together to infiltrate and reclaim Meta Knight's [[Halberd]]. While exploring the vessel, Lucario discovered [[Third Party Characters in Nintendo Games#Solid Snake|Snake]] within his cardboard box hiding place by detecting his aura. After revealing his hiding spot, he discovered Snake to be good through the color of his aura and stopped Meta Knight from attacking him. The three then continued fighting their way through the Halberd, ending with the battle against the monstrous robot [[Enemies in Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Duon|Duon]]. After Duon's defeat, Lucario and the others united with the main party for the final battles in Subspace.

===Ultimate: Adventure and Classic Modes===

In the Adventure Mode of ''Ultimate'', "World of Light", Lucario first appeared in the opening cutscene alongside the other fighters who had assembled to oppose [[Galeem]] and his [[Master Hand]] army. After Galeem unleashed his beams of light, Lucario was seen using Double Team to evade one of the beams. However, he was quickly caught by another beam instead, resulting in his joining the ranks of the fighters under Galeem's control. Lucario could later be awakened and recruited as a playable character by finding him and defeating him along the path to the north of the western side of the bridge over the chasm of light.

Lucario's Classic Mode route in that game was called "Counter Encounters". Lucario's opponents followed the theme of being characters who bore some sort of counter-based attack. The last pre-boss enemy to be faced was [[Greninja]], and [[Master Hand]] (with [[Crazy Hand]] on higher difficulties) was the route's final boss.

==Other Media==

*In the eighth move of the ''Pokémon'' anime, Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, he plays a major role as being a legendary Pokémon that served alongside Sir Aaron (upon whom Riley is based off). He is frozen in time by Aaron's actions and is later freed by Ash Ketchum and his friends. In the movie, Lucario utilizes the Aura ability frequently and is able to speak to humans telepathically. Within the actual series, other Lucario have appeared in the ownership of [[Maylene]],[[Riley]] and [[Korrina]]. In the fifth generation-based series, a trainer named Cameron had a Riolu that evolved into a Lucario during a Unova championship tournament battle with Ash and managed to be the key to Ash's defeat.
*In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, Lucario made several appearances during the ''Diamond''/''Pearl'' arc as Riley's primary Pokémon and later as Korrina's Pokémon whom she Mega Evolves during the ''X''/''Y'' arc.

=Trivia=

*Lucario's name is possibly a play on the world "oracle" (due to its extrasensory powers) and could also relate to "Lupaster", a name that is used for a type of Egyptian jackal which Lucario resembles.
