'''Lucario''' ({{ja|ルカリオ|Rukario}}, ''Lucario'') is a fictional creature from the ''{{uv|Pokémon}}'' series, appearing as the main representative of the fourth generation of the Pokémon series in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series. | |||

Lucario is a bipedal canine Pokémon | Lucario is a bipedal, canine-like Pokémon that is 3'11" in height and is generally agreed to resemble the Egyptian deity {{s|wikipedia|Anubis}}. Lucario is a dual Fighting and Steel-type type Pokémon that evolves from {{pkmn|Riolu}}; in the ''Pokémon'' RPGs, Riolu evolves when it gains a level while its friendship rating has achieved a high-enough point, and only during morning, daytime, and afternoon hours. Lucario is able to detect and wield an energy named {{s|bulbapedia|Aura}}, a sort of force that surrounds every living thing. According to the Pokédex, by picking up on the aura emanating from others, it can read their thoughts and movements, and a well-trained individual can sense and take in the feelings of creatures over half a mile away. It understands human speech and can even communicate telepathically in human languages. In Generation VI, Lucario was among a handful of Pokémon that gained access to a new transformation called Mega Evolution. In-game, if a Lucario is holding a Lucarionite, it can undergo {{s|bulbapedia|Mega Evolution}} and become Mega Lucario. Lucario also has more significance to the plot when compared to other Pokémon, as it is the first Pokémon the player initiates Mega Evolution with. | ||

Lucario is unique in that the more damage it takes, the more damage, range, and [[knockback]] its own attacks have (based on the actual ability of most Lucario in the Pokémon series). This only applies to its [[Aura]]-based attacks, which are noted by bluish, flame-like wisps. A few of Lucario's attacks do not use Aura, such as its dash attack and back throw, among others. This trait makes it not particularly useful at the beginning of a stock, but by surviving to a high level of damage, it becomes considerably lethal. It possesses the ability to both [[wall jump]] and [[wall cling]]; its wall jump in particular is by far the highest in the game, and the height gained by this scales with Aura. | Lucario is unique in that the more damage it takes, the more damage, range, and [[knockback]] its own attacks have (based on the actual ability of most Lucario in the Pokémon series).

[[Aura Sphere]], its neutral special, is a chargeable ranged blast comparable to {{SSBB|Samus}}' [[Charge Shot]].

''An Aura Pokémon. It can track energy called Aura, which is given off by all living creatures. It's a unique combination of both Fighting and Steel-type Pokémon. Lucario evolves from Riolu during the day if its happiness has reached its maximum point. It specializes in attacks that use Aura energy, like Dark Pulse and a can't-miss technique, Aura Sphere.'' | |||

Lucario returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. Physically, it has been updated to have its proportions more akin to its appearances in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon X and Y|''Pokémon X'' and ''Y'']]. Lucario also has a new [[Final Smash]], [[Mega Lucario]], which replaces [[Aura Storm]]. Sean Schemmel, the voice actor of [[bulbapedia:Lucario (M08)|Sir Aaron's Lucario]] from the film ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew'', [https://twitter.com/seanschemmel/status/472434229997879296 confirmed] that he would be reprising his role as Lucario in the game. | |||

Lucario is ranked | Lucario is currently ranked 22nd out of 58, placing it at the bottom of the C tier. Lucario's Aura mechanic has been strengthened in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4'', while the new [[rage]] mechanic further amplifies it. As a result, it has the potential to KO at early percentages when its own damage percentage is high. However, Lucario received some nerfs as well. Its smash attacks in particular are slower, and its neutral, forward and down aerials and [[Force Palm]] have lost some of their combo potential. Lucario's [[Extreme Speed]] also saw a large increase in ending [[lag]] if it ends in the air, leaving Lucario highly open to [[punishment]] upon landing on the ground. Regardless of the nerfs, Lucario is still seen as a viable choice for competitive play, earning decent results. | ||

*Like [[Charizard]] in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' and [[Mewtwo]], Lucario draws inspiration from a particular member of its species depicted in the ''Pokémon'' anime. In Lucario's case, it is largely based on [[bulbapedia:Lucario (M08)|Sir Aaron's Lucario]] from ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew''. Like Sir Aaron's, it can speak the human language telepathically and, as of ''SSB4'', it is voiced by Sean Schemmel and Daisuke Namikawa in English and Japanese, respectively; Schemmel and Namikawa portrayed that specific Lucario as well. | |||
