Double Team is Lucario's Down Special Move. When used, Lucario performs a defensive tai chi-like stance. If it is attacked during this stance, it will teleport behind the attacker, then strike with a sliding kick for moderate damage and surprisingly high knockback, which is even greater after 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. There is some kind of lag after doing the attack in midair. Double Team has a shorter length than Marth's and Ike's Counter, but does more damage and knockback if it is pulled off.
Note that Lucario actually teleports a set distance. If Double Team is used on a ranged attack, or an attack that causes it's user to move quickly (Spin Dash, Rollout, ect..), Lucario will likely miss with his counter attack.
