Lucario

Lucario (ルカリオ, Rukario?) is a humanoid Pokemon and is based on a member of the canine family like a Jackel.[citation needed]It also looks similar to the Egyptian god, Anubis. It's name derives from 'Lupus', Latin for wolf.[original research?] It was mistaken for a legendary Pokemon in the Diamond & Pearl video games as it appeared in the movie Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.[citation needed] As with Riolu, Lucario has the ability to detect and manipulate a force known as "aura".

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

On January 21 2007, a promotional video for Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the official Wii website was posted that showed a Groudon sticker being highlighted and the faces of Pikachu, Pokémon Trainer, Lucario, and Jigglypuff to show that the sticker was compatible with their trophies. This is considered confirmation that Lucario will be a playable character in the new Smash Bros. game.
