The attacks it can use don't change, but its Aura abilities become more powerful than ever, letting it deal more damage and launch opponents farther. It can also resist being launched by other fighters, but the more attacks it takes, the sooner it will transform back.

[[File:MegaLucarioXY.png|thumb|left|{{s|Bulbapedia|Korrina}}'s Lucario Mega Evolving into Mega Lucario in ''Pokémon X and Y''.]]

{{s|bulbapedia|Mega Evolution}} is a mechanic introduced in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon X and Y}}''. Only a small number of fully-evolved Pokémon, including Lucario, can Mega Evolve, and they must also hold a special {{s|bulbapedia|Mega Stone}} unique to their species. Upon Mega Evolution, the Pokémon's stats increase tremendously and can easily allow it to turn the battle around. Lucario's Mega Stone is known as {{s|bulbapedia|Lucarionite}}.

A notable instance where Lucario can Mega Evolve is during the final battle against {{s|bulbapedia|Korrina}}, a Fighting-type specialist and the third Gym Leader in ''Pokémon X and Y'', who not only gives the player one of her Lucario, but also has them battle her own one. Both Lucario can Mega Evolve during the battle, acting as the player's tutorial for how Mega Evolution works. It is also stated in-game that Lucario was the first Pokémon to be able to Mega Evolve, though this is contradicted by legends of {{s|bulbapedia|Mega Rayquaza}} in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}''.

*Unlike other transforming Final Smashes (namely, {{b|Giga Bowser|Final Smash}}, [[Wario-Man]], and [[Giga Mac]]), Mega Lucario keeps all move customizations made to it.

*Much like Wario-Man, Mega Lucario [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ese2ER3hkdE can be Screen KO'd], though it will respawn as if it was a Star KO.
