Lucario (Japanese: ルカリオ Lucario) is a dual-type Fighting/Steel Pokémon.
It evolves from Riolu when leveled up with high friendship during the day.
Biology
Physiology
Lucario is a bipedal, jackal-like Pokémon, with fur that is predominantly blue and black. It possesses a short, round spike on the back of each forepaw, in addition to a third on its chest. Lucario's snout and ears are longer than those of its pre-evolution Riolu. It possesses cream-colored fur on its torso, and blue fur on its thighs that appears to resemble shorts. Lucario stands on its toes rather than on its entire foot. It has developed four small black appendages on its head, which rise when Lucario reads or manipulates aura.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Lucario are sensitive to a special type of energy called aura. Lucario can study this energy to predict the movements of their opponents and track their quarries. They also have the power to manipulate this energy in an offensive manner, in the form of explosive spheres of aura energy. Lucario can understand human speech, and have been reported to communicate with humans through telepathy.
Behavior
Lucario are considered to be prideful creatures, and are extremely loyal to their Trainers. Lucario also seem to have a natural sense of justice.
Habitat
Lucario usually live deep in mountains very far from people to improve their skills. Therefore, like Milotic and Togekiss, they are some of the rarest non-legendary Pokémon known, and finding a wild Lucario is excruciatingly difficult.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
The Lucario in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew was shown eating Berries and plants, like roses. Lucario has been seen eating chocolate, introduced by Max with it gaining no ill-effects from the theobromine, though not part of its natural diet.
In the anime
Major appearances
Lucario was one of the main Pokémon in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. It belonged to Sir Aaron and was sealed away in his staff for a thousand years. It was released by Ash during a festival, and helped guide him to the Tree of Beginning after Pikachu is teleported there by Mew.
Lucario is Maylene's main Pokémon, it was first seen in Lost Leader Strategy! battling with Maylene in their training. Lucario used Aura Sphere to stop the battle of Electabuzz, Piplup and Pikachu. It was used in Maylene's matches with Paul, Dawn and Ash.
This Lucario debuted in Steeling Peace of Mind! at Iron Island. When Ash and his friends traveled there after being contacted by Barry, they found the local Steel-type Pokémon fighting brutally against each other and the other Pokémon on the island. When a crazed Aggron attacked Ash, Riley stepped in and had Lucario attack it with Close Combat. Despite being a Steel type as well, Lucario wasn't immediately affected like the others of its type due to its strong aura.
Cameron's Riolu evolved into a Lucario in BW107 in a Vertress Conference battle against Ash's Snivy.
Minor appearances
Lucario also makes a brief appearance at the intro of The Rise of Darkrai, where one is shown dodging a Rayquaza's Hyper Beam.
A Lucario and Froslass were seen in a Double Contest on TV in Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!.

Trivia
- Lucario's English name was revealed on February 9, 2006 with the announcement of the title of Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.
- Before Pokémon Diamond and Pearl were released, many fans assumed Lucario would be a legendary Pokémon, based on its starring role in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. This has since been proven untrue, as it is readily available in the Generation IV games, is under ownership by NPCs, and even evolves from a Pokémon, Riolu.
- In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, Lucario is the only one out of three Gem Guardians that is not a legendary Pokémon.
- In Pokémon Battle Revolution, a Lucario costume is seen, worn by Dusty.
- Two of Lucario's Abilities relate to flinching. Steadfast makes Lucario faster when flinching, whilst Inner Focus prevents it altogether.
- Lucario can learn Blaze Kick, but cannot learn Fire Punch.
- Lucario and Poliwrath are the only Fighting-type Pokémon able to learn Psychic without being part Psychic themselves.
- Lucario is the only Pokémon that learns Dragon Pulse through leveling up who is not a Dragon-type or related to one through evolution.
Origin
Lucario appears to be based on the Egyptian god of funerals, Anubis, who has the head of a jackal. Anubis's role in Egyptian mythology was to judge the hearts of deceased souls based on their actions during life. This resembles Lucario's ability to see a life form's aura. It also seems to be based on an Egyptian boxer. Boxing is a sport that is believed to have origins in Egypt. The markings on Lucario's face resemble a mask.
Name origin
Lucario may be derived from the reverse of orichalcum (a mythical metal) or oracle (referring to its supernatural abilities involving aura). It may also involve lupaster (a subspecies of the Canis aureus), Cairo, pharaoh, or lykos (Greek for wolf).
