Force Palm bears some similarities to Lucario's [[forward smash]], except that it exhibits more range and less [[knockback]]. If Force Palm is used when standing within grabbing range of an opponent, it changes to a grabbing attack with slightly more power. At later percentages it is a powerful vertical killer with an angled knockback. Force Palm's range also makes it a viable edge guarding move, but caution should be used if attempting to use Force Palm in the air, as Lucario cannot jump until it finishes attacking with it. Force Palm can also make a good [[chain grab]] like [[up throw]]. Initial damage for close-range is 9%, long range is 7% if hit with bulk of the blast, and 5% if hit with tip. At 182% (where it caps) long range if hit with bulk is 14%, tip is 12%, and grab at 182% is 18%. This gives Lucario the most damaging throw at high percentages. It is possible for the opponent to break out of a close range Force Palm before the punch is administered. | Force Palm bears some similarities to Lucario's [[forward smash]], except that it exhibits more range and less [[knockback]].

Interestingly, Force Palm can be reflected and absorbed much like [[Thunder]] is, yet even at the closest out-of-grab range, it will never hurt the same Lucario that used it. Due to its range and connection with Lucario, it is more like a disjointed hit box; however, it is in fact a [[projectile]], as it doesn't move with Lucario when falling or slipping on the ice. | Interestingly, Force Palm can be reflected and absorbed much like [[Thunder]] is, yet even at the closest out-of-grab range, it will never hurt the same Lucario that used it.
