'''Lucario''' ({{ja|ルカリオ}}, ''Rukario'') is an [[unlockable character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', who, like {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSBB|Squirtle}}, {{SSBB|Charizard}}, and {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}, originates from the [[Pokémon (universe)|''Pokémon'' universe]]. Confirmation of Lucario's inclusion in ''Brawl'' was [[leak]]ed before the game's release, through a promotional video on the Japanese Wii website about [[sticker]] power ups. An evolution of Riolu, Lucario is a dual Fighting/Steel type Pokémon, and is the first Pokémon to possess either of these types in a [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Smash'' series]] game. It is also the first Pokémon in a ''Smash'' game that is able to speak English, and it is the only Pokémon in ''Brawl'' that speaks in full sentences. | Revealed on the Smash Bros.

A common belief is that Lucario "replaced" ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'''s {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} (particularly around the time of Brawl's release), primarily as they share a few superficial properties. Aesthetically, they have the ability to speak human language in a deep voice through the use of telepathy, and Lucario's Aura is similar in appearance to Mewtwo's shadow energy. Both characters also possess [[floaty]] air movement, fast and long distanced [[roll]]s, and similar [[neutral special move]]s - Lucario's [[Aura Sphere]] grows in size as it is charged and damages opponents who contact it during its charging phase, in the same way as Mewtwo's [[Shadow Ball]]. However, there is no evidence that Lucario was intended to "replace" or exist as a [[clone]] of Mewtwo in ''Brawl''; on the contrary, [[Beta elements (SSBB)#Scrapped characters|Mewtwo's unfinished character data on Brawl's disc]] suggests that the two were supposed to appear alongside each other. Lucario's moveset and character design as a whole is also vastly different from Mewtwo's, lending even less credence to the claim that Lucario was included as a replacement for Mewtwo. | A common belief is that Lucario "replaced" ''[[Super Smash Bros.
