- —Lucario, Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Template:SSB Infobox Lucario is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He is believed to have replaced Mewtwo, although their fighting styles are different. He is entering from the 4th Generation Pokémon games; Diamond and Pearl versions, and is the evolved form of Riolu. He shares a few moves with Mewtwo. He is appropriately classified in the Pokedex as an Aura Pokémon in these games. He uses his Aura abilities for his many attacks. Lucario can stick to walls as well, thus allowing for wall jumps and recoveries. Lucario has a special ability no other character in Brawl has - the more damaged Lucario is, the more damage and knockback all his attacks cause. It reaches full power at 182% damage. A move that normally does 15% damage raises to 26% damage when it is at 182%, and knocks the opponent back about twice as far as normal.
Role in the Subspace Emissary
Lucario is encountered at the top of The Glacial Peak which the Ice Climbers and Meta Knight climb. At the top of the mountain, Meta Knight meets Lucario. Lucario and Meta Knight look at each other for a while and fight, while the Ice Climbers watch frightened. The player has the choice to play as either Lucario or Meta Knight--whoever loses the battle gets turned into a trophy, and the winner decides to revive the loser of the match.
After the loser is revived, Meta Knight and Lucario look at each other again for a while, with the Ice Climbers still frightened. However, Meta Knight and Lucario then shake hands, which is a sign that they are now allies. The Ice Climbers are glad to see Lucario and Meta Knight teaming up. However then, the four of them see the Halberd and the Great Fox. The Halberd makes the Great Fox crash into part of the mountain, which makes the Ice Climbers fall off the mountain. Lucario and Meta Knight are able to climb on top of the Great Fox and then jump onto the Halberd, and they go inside the Halberd.
The two travel through the Halberd, until Lucario, using his Aura, senses something coming from a Cardboard Box. Lucario lifts up the box and encounters Solid Snake. Meta Knight and Snake prepare to battle each other, however Lucario interrupts and warns the two that Primids are coming. Lucario, Meta Knight and Snake become allies and they make their way through the Halberd. After a long path, they came into a room where Princess Peach and Princess Zelda were locked in cages, and turned into Trophies. The Shadow Bugs came through the Trophies and turned into the Dark Being versions of Peach and Zelda. Lucario, Meta Knight and Snake had to fight them.
After defeating the Dark Beings, the group revived Peach and Zelda, when they were freed. Peach and Zelda looks at Snake, but he and the others tell the princesses can better stay there. Of course, they wouldn't do that, and after the three leaves, Zelda turns herself into Sheik and opened the door. Peach came after Sheik, smiling. Lucario, Meta Knight and Snake continues with their quest, until they finally reach the Control Room, which is filled with Mr. Game & Watch men. Snake kicks the Game & Watch out the window, and the Game & Watch people all turn into Shadow Bugs.
The bugs then turn into Duon. Snake and Lucario jump out the window and meet up with Fox, Peach, Zelda and Falco where they fight Duon, while Meta Knight stays in the Control Room. After Duon is defeated, all the Shadow Bugs turn into the Mr. Game & Watch Trophy. Fox would to destroy it with his Blaster, but Peach walks to it and revives the Trophy. Mr. Game & Watch seems to be a bit shy about Peach after looking around, and then Peach gave the 2D person her parasol. Mr. Game & Watch seems to be enjoyed with her parasol. Finally Meta Knight grabs the steer of the Halberd and controls it.
After the Falcon Flyer and the Halberd reunite, they then travel to the desert where everyone reunites. Then they fight against Ganondorf and Bowser's ship and make it to Subspace. There in Subspace, Lucario and everyone else fight against Tabuu, but are turned into trophies. Lucario and the others are eventually revived, get through the Great Maze, and defeat Tabuu once and for all.
Lucario's Special Moves
Aura Sphere
Aura Sphere is Lucario's standard special move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is similar to Mewtwo's Shadow Ball attack used in Super Smash Bros. Melee, but differs slightly in effect and appearance. Lucario charges up a ball of energy when the attack button is pressed, and then releases it again if the attack button is pressed again. Lucario can also stop charging at any point by moving to the side, using this as a way of escaping attack while still keeping the Aura charge. Upon fire, the Aura Sphere ball moves straight forward along the stage at random speed. The damage done and the speed of the ball is affected by Lucario's damage percent. Aura Sphere can also be used by Kirby after he copies Lucario's powers.
Force Palm
Force Palm is the name of Lucario's side special move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It can be compared to Mewtwo's Confusion attack from Super Smash Bros. Melee to a certain extent. The effect of the attack changes depending on how close Lucario is to the opponent. If he attacks from a distance, he fires a short Aura wave at the opponent, knocking the foe off his/her feet. At close-range, he will use a much more powerful charge of Aura, and hit the opponent directly with it. The power of the attack increases accordingly to the damage Lucario has taken.
ExtremeSpeed
ExtremeSpeed is Lucario's up special move in the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is more of a recovery move than an offensive one, as when used it has no effect on a foe's danage percent. When used, Lucario will launch high in the air. The move can be aimed while shooting up, making either a sharp curve to the right or to the left. This is useful for getting back on the stage and helps stick to walls, as Lucario is capable of doing wall-jumping.
Double Team
Double Team is the down special move of Lucario in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, acting similarly to Marth and Ike's Counter attack. When the attack is used, Lucario will stand on one leg, and split into two copies of himself. This, however, will not do any damage unless an opposing player happens to attack him shortly after Lucario uses this move. If an opponent attacks Lucario the instant or shortly after Lucario uses Double Team, Lucario will disappear, reappear behind the attacker, and slide kick into him or her, countering the move. However, it only works if the attack is used just before being attacked, as it will not work if kept in action for too long. The power of the counter attack is increased accordingly to the damage Lucario has taken.
Final Smash: Aura Storm
Aura Storm is Lucario's Final Smash move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Once the Smash Ball is broken open, Lucario will begin to glow and rise into the air. He will then fire a powerful blast of Aura in a straight line on the stage, which goes through walls and objects. It will continue to devastate any player who happens to even come close to the beam, dealing heavy damage on those caught in it. The ray can be aimed using the control stick, allowing Lucario to catch his opponents easier. The attack lasts for about 5 seconds, before finally ending, sending a minor explosion that launches players into the air.
Solid Snake Codec Conversation
- Mei Ling: You're fighting Lucario, aren't you, Snake?
- Snake: Mei Ling, what's that purple fire coming out of his hands?
- Mei Ling: That's his "Aura."
- Snake: Aura?
- Mei Ling: I guess you could call it his life force. Lucario can use his own Aura and turn it into power. Every time Lucario's damage increases, his Aura gains strength, making his attacks more powerful. So don't think you've got him beat just because his health is down.
- Snake: The cornered rat will bite the cat... Sounds like trouble.
- Mei Ling: Hey! When did you become so good with proverbs?!
- Snake: You must have rubbed off on me.
- Mei Ling: Well, come back in one piece, and I'll teach you all the Chinese proverbs you can handle.
Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
| Name | Image | Game | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lucario | File:TrLucario.jpg | DS Pokémon Diamond/Pearl | An Aura Pokémon. It can track energy called Aura, which is given off by all living creatures. It's a unique combination of both Fighting- and Steel-type Pokémon. Lucario evolves from Riolu during the day if its happiness has reached a certain point. It specializes in attacks that use Aura energy, like Dark Pulse and a can't-miss technique, Aura Sphere. |
| Aura Storm | File:TrAura storm.jpg | Wii Super Smash Bros. Brawl | Lucario's Final Smash. After flying off the screen, Lucario reappears in its center. It then launches a powerful Aura attack against all foes within a certain distance. The key to this attack is the ability to change its angle--it's a must to sweep slowly left and right to hit selected enemies multiple times. The last blow will send the victim flying away. |

Trivia
- Lucario is based on the Egyptian god Anubis, who also inspired the Anuboos of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.
- Lucario seems to speak during the fight, for instance, during his Final Smash where he says, "Watch the power of Aura." However, Masahiro Sakurai has stated that Lucario is not actually speaking, but is using telepathy to communicate the voices.
- Pokémon tend to be referred to as "it." However, during Solid Snake's Codec, Mei Ling refers to Lucario as a "he." This is likely because the Lucario in Brawl is similar to the one from the 8th Pokémon Movie.
- Lucario is one of the few fighters to only have five recolors in Brawl. The others are Pokémon Trainer, Jigglypuff, and Sonic.
- Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, is very similar to the Kamehameha Wave from the popular anime and manga series Dragon Ball. Coincidentally, Lucario's voice actor in the both the Pokémon movie and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Sean Schemmel, also voices the main character Goku in the Dragon Ball anime.
