'''Lucario''' ({{ja|ルカリオ|Rukario}}, ''Lucario'') is a creature from the ''{{uv|Pokémon}}'' series. It debuted in the series' {{s|bulbapedia|fourth generation}}, and is present as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. | |||

According to the Pokédex, by picking up on the Aura emanating from others, it can read their thoughts and movements; a well-trained Lucario, in particular, can sense and read the feelings of creatures over half a mile away.

Despite being one of the most prominently marketed fourth generation Pokémon in the lead-up to the release of {{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl}}, it has no real plot prominence in those games, being only available after hatching from a Riolu egg gifted to the player during their visit to {{s|bulbapedia|Iron Island}}, and being used on the teams of {{s|bulbapedia|Riley}}, {{s|bulbapedia|Maylene}} and {{s|bulbapedia|Cynthia}}. | ||
However, Lucario is notable within Kalos, the setting of [[bulbapedia:Pokémon X and Y|''Pokémon X'' and ''Y'']], the first games within the series' {{s|bulbapedia|sixth generation}}. In Kalos, Lucario is renowned as the first Pokémon to have achieved {{s|bulbapedia|Mega Evolution}} in the region. This is reflected by its significance to the plot of ''X'' and ''Y'': it is the first Pokémon the player initiates Mega Evolution with, and a very large statue of its Mega Evolution, Mega Lucario, is a centerpiece within the {{s|bulbapedia|Tower of Mastery}}. | However, Lucario is notable within Kalos, the setting of [[bulbapedia:Pokémon X and Y|''Pokémon X'' and ''Y'']], the first games within the series' {{s|bulbapedia|sixth generation}}.

Several Lucario have made appearances in the anime, such as the [[bulbapedia:Lucario (M08)|Lucario]] who starred in the eighth movie; {{iw|bulbapedia|Korrina|anime}}'s [[bulbapedia:Korrina's Lucario|Lucario]], who was trained to use its Mega Evolution form after initial difficulty; and {{s|bulbapedia|Ash Ketchum}}'s [[bulbapedia:Ash's Lucario|Lucario]], who evolved from a Riolu that Ash received as an Egg. | Several Lucario have made appearances in the anime, such as the [[bulbapedia:Lucario (M08)|Lucario]] who starred in the eighth movie; {{iw|bulbapedia|Korrina|anime}}'s [[bulbapedia:Korrina's Lucario|Lucario]], who was trained to use its Mega Evolution form after initial difficulty; and {{s|bulbapedia|Ash Ketchum}}'s [[bulbapedia:Ash's Lucario|Lucario]], who evolved from a Riolu that Ash received as an Egg. | ||
Lucario has high Attack and Special Attack stats and average Speed, but low defenses; in particular, its Special Attack statistic is unusually high for a Fighting type, reflecting its mastery over the control of Aura, further evidenced by its access to moves like [[Aura Sphere]]. Lucario's high offenses make it a versatile and slightly unpredictable Pokémon, as it can effectively run physical, special or mixed movesets. Its three abilities reflect its stoic and brave character: {{s|bulbapedia|Inner Focus}} prevents it from flinching or (starting with Gen | Lucario has high Attack and Special Attack stats and average Speed, but low defenses; in particular, its Special Attack statistic is unusually high for a Fighting type, reflecting its mastery over the control of Aura, further evidenced by its access to moves like [[Aura Sphere]].

While holding a Lucarionite, Lucario can undergo Mega Evolution to become Mega Lucario. As Mega Lucario, its already impressive offensive and speed statistics are boosted considerably, and it gains {{s|bulbapedia|Adaptability}} as its {{s|bulbapedia|ability}}, which further supplements its offenses by powering up its Fighting and Steel type attacks. | While holding a Lucarionite, Lucario can undergo Mega Evolution to become Mega Lucario.

Lucario returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. Physically, it has been updated to have its proportions more akin to its appearances in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon X and Y|''Pokémon X'' and ''Y'']]. Lucario also has a new [[Final Smash]], [[Mega Lucario]], which replaces [[Aura Storm]]. Sean Schemmel, the voice actor of [[bulbapedia:Lucario (M08)|Sir Aaron's Lucario]] from the film ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew'', reprised his role as Lucario in the game, having [https://twitter.com/seanschemmel/status/472434229997879296 confirmed] that he would do so. | Lucario returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

Lucario is ranked 17th out of | Lucario is ranked 17th out of 55, placing it in the B tier. Lucario's Aura mechanic has been strengthened in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4'', and it now affects Lucario's entire moveset. When coupled with the new [[rage]] mechanic, Lucario has the potential to KO any opponent at early percentages when its own damage percentage is high. The changes to [[hitstun canceling]] have also granted its up and down throws impressive combo potential. However, Lucario also received some nerfs. Its smash attacks in particular are slower, while [[Force Palm]] and its neutral, forward and down aerials have worsened combo potentials. [[Extreme Speed]] also saw a large increase in ending [[lag]] if it ends in the air, leaving Lucario highly open to [[punishment]] upon landing on the ground. Regardless of the nerfs, Lucario is still viewed as a viable choice for competitive play, thanks to it achieving decent results. | ||

Lucario is a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Similar to its debut in ''Brawl'', Lucario is an unlockable character instead of a starter like in ''SSB4''; however, unlike in ''Brawl'' where it was encountered later on in the unlocking process, Lucario can potentially be the first character unlocked in the game as the first character in {{SSBU|Yoshi}}'s {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} character unlock tree. | Lucario is a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros.

Lucario was praised by its potential advantages in the early ''Ultimate'' metagame, and was considered a relatively viable character. However, its weakness became clearer as time passed due to the amount of nerfs it received from the transition, making Lucario a relatively underused character in the meta.

However, its weakness became clearer as time passed due to the amount of nerfs it received from the transition, making Lucario a relatively underused character in the meta. Currently, most top professional players consider Lucario either a low mid or a low tier, with even some players considering it as a bottom 5 character. | ||
