Double Team is Lucario's Down Special Move. When used, Lucario enters a defensive tai chi-like stance. If it is attacked during this stance, it will teleport behind the attacker, then strike with a sliding kick for moderate damage and surprisingly high knockback, which is even greater after Lucario has taken damage. If Lucario successfully counters with Double Team near an edge, it may teleport above the ledge and fall downwards as it unsuccessfully attacks, making recovery difficult. There is some kind of lag after doing the attack in midair. Double Team has a shorter length than Marth's and Ike's Counter, but does more damage and knockback if it is pulled off.
Note that Lucario actually strikes the location around where it was hit, just like Counter does. If Double Team is used on a ranged attack, or an attack that causes its user to move quickly (Spin Dash, Rollout, etc.), Lucario will likely miss with his counter attack.

Notes
- It is possible to pull off a "reverse" Double Team where Lucario attacks from the front. However, it is harder to pull off. Advantages of pulling off a "reverse" Double Team include allowing Lucario to initiate combos and even wall-cling without the use of a second jump. Video can be seen here.
