Lucario is a powerful Fighting/Steel Pokémon that evolves from Riolu. He was introduced in the fourth generation of games in Diamond and Pearl.

Information

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

It possesses the unique ability the sense the aura in creatures. Using this it can read their thoughts and determine their movements - despite not being a Psychic Pokémon. It is even capable of understanding human speech. A Lucario will only evolve from a Riolu during the daytime after reaching full happiness.

Appearances

Mainstream Games

In Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl, Lucario can only be found by evolving the Riolu egg given to the player by Riley.

Although not appearing in the game, Lucario is mentioned in 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.

Other Appearances

Other Games

Lucario appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a secret playable character. He is unlocked by playing 100 brawls, beating Target Smash!! on all difficulty levels or getting Lucario to join the party in "The Subspace Emissary". He takes the place of Mewtwo and has some similar moves but is not a complete clone. Lucario has two different trophies in the game, one normal one and one of his Final Smash.

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 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 Duon. After Duon's defeat, Lucario and the others united with the main party for the final battles in Subspace.

Other Media

In the movie, 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.
