'''Lucario''' ({{ja|ルカリオ|Rukario}}, ''Lucario'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. Its return to the series was announced on January 31st, 2014, six years to the day of the year that ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was released in Japan. According to an extra post for its Miiverse reveal, this timing was done to commend the ''Brawl'' developers for succeeding in adding Lucario to ''Brawl''.

As in ''Brawl'', it is also voiced by different voice actors for ''SSB4'''s Spanish, French, German and Italian versions.

Lucario is ranked 17th out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing it in the B tier. This is roughly similar to its mid-tier placement in ''Brawl'', where it was ranked 11th out of 38, although ''SSB4''{{'}}s tier structuring renders it as a high-tier character, making this its best placement in the series. Lucario's signature [[Aura]] has been strengthened, which is further supplemented by the new [[rage]] mechanic. This makes most of its attacks among the strongest in the game when it is highly damaged, with its smash attacks, up and back throws, and its up and back aerials each being easily capable of KOing. The new Aura mechanics also grant new benefits to Lucario's special moves: with high Aura, [[Aura Sphere]] grows even larger than Lucario itself, [[Force Palm]]'s blast possesses significantly more range, [[Extreme Speed]] covers much farther distance, and [[Double Team]] becomes one of the strongest [[counterattack]]s in the game. As a result, Lucario boasts very potent comeback potential, with a single opening being enough for it to KO careless opponents.
