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]].

Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the known variations:

In the Pokémon games, Double Team is a Normal-type status move introduced in Generation I that raises evasion by one stage, making it more likely for attacks to miss the user, and can be stacked for even larger evasion boosts. The move does not act like a counterattack like it does in the ''Smash Bros.'' games. It is generally banned in competitive play for its reliance on luck and its difficulty to counter effectively when paired with Baton Pass, making Double Team and similar moves very infamous among players. The animation in ''Brawl'' is similar to the animation in the Pokémon games (notably ones like ''Pokémon Battle Revolution'' or ''Pokémon Colosseum'').

Lucario can learn Double Team in all games it appears in via {{s|bulbapedia|TM32}}. The Japanese name of the move contains the term "bunshin" (分身 or 分進), with the former meaning "other self/clone", and the latter meaning to "divide and/or advance".

*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&feature=related here].

*With precise timing, Lucario's Double Team can activate Marth's [[Counter]].

*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.

*This move is also used by [[Greninja]] in one of its [[victory pose]]s, but it is unable to use the move itself in ''Smash 4''.
