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'', reprised his role as Lucario in the game, having [https://twitter.com/seanschemmel/status/472434229997879296 confirmed] that he would do so. | Lucario returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

Lucario is ranked 17th out of | Lucario is ranked 17th out of 54, placing it in the B tier. Lucario's Aura mechanic has been strengthened in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4'', and it now affects Lucario's entire moveset. When coupled with the new [[rage]] mechanic, Lucario has the potential to KO any opponent at early percentages when its own damage percentage is high. The changes to [[hitstun canceling]] have also granted its up and down throws impressive combo potential. However, Lucario also received some nerfs. Its smash attacks in particular are slower, while [[Force Palm]] and its neutral, forward and down aerials have worsened combo potentials. [[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 viewed as a viable choice for competitive play, thanks to it achieving decent results. | ||

Lucario is a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Similar to its debut in ''Brawl'', Lucario is an unlockable character instead of a starter like in ''SSB4''; however, unlike in ''Brawl'' where it was encountered later on in the unlocking process, Lucario can potentially be the first character unlocked in the game as the first character in {{SSBU|Yoshi}}'s {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} character unlock tree. | Lucario is a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros.

Lucario was praised by its potential advantages in the early ''Ultimate'' metagame, and was considered a relatively viable character. However, its weakness became clearer as time passed due to the amount of nerfs it received from the transition, making Lucario a relatively underused character in the meta. Currently, most top professional players consider Lucario either a low mid or a low tier, with even some players considering it as a bottom 5 character. | Lucario was praised by its potential advantages in the early ''Ultimate'' metagame, and was considered a relatively viable character.
