Lucario | When used, Lucario enters a defensive tai chi-like stance. If it is attacked during this stance, it will teleport, then strike with a sliding kick from the left or right (depending on the direction the analog stick is held in) for moderate damage and surprisingly high knockback, which is even greater when 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. | ||
Double Team | Double Team has a longer length than Marth's and Ike's [[Counter]], having the longest counter window in ''Smash 4'' at 35 frames (tied with [[Vision]]), which also comes out the fastest, at 5 frames (tied with [[Slip Counter]] and [[Witch Time]]). To compensate, it has the longest overall animation for a counter, being over 40 frames long after the counter frames. It is notably different in that it does not change power depending on the countered move; rather, it does a constant attack no matter what moves it counters. One of the most interesting features of Double Team is its intangibility, which lasts until the counter frames end, leaving him unaffected even by attacks that cannot be countered, such as grabs and Final Smashes. | ||
Additionally, if Lucario is hit during a Double Team and goes into the counter strike, Lucario will not have a [[hurtbox]] until it completes the counter attack. Double Team also reduces Lucario's falling speed for a minor duration. This move is rather easy to dodge, as it is possible to air dodge or shield the attack when Lucario disappears. Being an [[Aura]] based attack, in ''Brawl'', it does 7% at percents below 20% and at 170% or higher it deals 15%. In ''Smash 4'', it can deal as little as 7.26% at 0%, or as much as 18.7% above 190%. | |||
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 most likely miss with its counter attack. | |||
Double Team is rather useful in [[Boss Battles]] mode to dodge boss attacks. While it isn't guaranteed to hit the boss (and even then, it doesn't deal much damage), it is a quicker way to dodge than a [[roll]], [[short hop]]ped [[air dodge]], or just running away, and it has longer duration than a [[sidestep]]. | |||
In ''Smash 4'', the counterattack portion of Double Team has an aesthetic change where Lucario leans away from the direction he is facing, as well as making the attack resemble more of a flying kick. The kick also travels much further at higher percentages when affected by Aura. | |||

In the ''Pokémon'' games, {{s|bulbapedia|Double Team}} is a Normal-type status move introduced in Generation I that raises {{s|bulbapedia|Evasion}} by one stage, making it more likely for attacks to miss the user, and can be stacked for more boosts. The move does not act like a counterattack like it does in the ''Smash Bros.'' games, though the Double Team user striking second can be seen as such. The animation for Double Team in ''Brawl'' is similar to the animation in the Pokémon games, notably ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Battle Revolution}}'' or ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Colosseum}}''. | In the ''Pokémon'' games, {{s|bulbapedia|Double Team}} is a Normal-type status move introduced in Generation I that raises {{s|bulbapedia|Evasion}} by one stage, making it more likely for attacks to miss the user, and can be stacked for more boosts.

*It is possible to pull off a "reverse" Double Team where Lucario attacks from the front. After using Double Team, simply hold the control stick or d-pad in the direction the player wishes to attack from. 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. A video showing this can be seen [http://youtube.com/watch?v=JtTrTZZVA-M here]. | *It is possible to pull off a "reverse" Double Team where Lucario attacks from the front.

*Lucario's Double Team attack is slow enough that other characters with a counter can strike back with their own counter, given the correct circumstances. | *Lucario's Double Team attack is slow enough that other characters with a counter can strike back with their own counter, given the correct circumstances. | ||
*Lucario quietly says "It's over" whenever Double Team is successfully activated in ''Brawl'', but this phrase is barely recognizable by many players due to many other sound effects and music unless one plays the game in high-definition volume settings. Regardless, this phrase is available in the [[Sound Test]]. In ''Smash 4'', however, Lucario says "Weak!" instead. | |||
**Worth noting is the fact that, in ''Brawl'', Lucario speaks as it's attacking, but in ''Smash 4'', Lucario speaks as it's being attacked. | |||
*If Lucario uses Double Team with a Pikmin attached to it and attacking, the Pikmin will briefly "vanish" with Lucario. | *If Lucario uses Double Team with a Pikmin attached to it and attacking, the Pikmin will briefly "vanish" with Lucario. | ||

**Interestingly, the victory pose bears more of a resemblance to the original move than Lucario's does, as Double Team is not naturally a counterattack in the ''Pokémon'' series. | **Interestingly, the victory pose bears more of a resemblance to the original move than Lucario's does, as Double Team is not naturally a counterattack in the ''Pokémon'' series. | ||
*Double Team is the only special move in Lucario's moveset that isn't also in its ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokkén Tournament}}'' moveset as well, having Bone Rush in its place instead. | |||
*This move can be done on certain Final Smashes like Marth/Lucina's [[Critical Hit]], although Lucario won't counter the attack. | *This move can be done on certain Final Smashes like Marth/Lucina's [[Critical Hit]], although Lucario won't counter the attack. | ||
