Lucario is a character with a unique mechanic - the vast majority of its attacks use [[aura]] to damage opponents. Aura attacks get smaller and weaker when Lucario is at low damage, while they get larger and stronger at high damage - a fresh Lucario will only be doing 0.7x damage, while one at 170% or above will be doing 1.4x damage. Aura is also stronger when Lucario is losing the match, and weaker when it is ahead. This makes Lucario the ultimate risk-reward character, encouraging close matches and come-from-behind victories.
Aside from the aura mechanic, Lucario has relatively fast attacking speed and above-average maneuverability. His lightness in the air is complemented by a solid set of aerial attacks, which put together provide it with a varied set of options for approaching or defending, and he can both wall jump and wall cling for additional movement and recovery. On the ground, Lucario's movement and attacks are slower than average.

Lucario first appears meditating on the top of {{sbw|Glacial Peak}}, where he duels {{sbw|Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight}}. The player can choose to be either character, with a different cutscene showing if one wins and another if the other does, with the winner reviving the loser from their trophy state. After that, Lucario joins the main party, and goes with {{sbw|Snake (SSBB)|Snake}} and Meta Knight throughout the next level. Lucario teams up with Snake and Meta Knight in order to battle {{sbw|Peach (SSBB)|Peach}} and {{sbw|Zelda (SSBB)|Zelda}}, who have been consumed by {{sbw|Subspace bugs}}. Once they are defeated, Lucario and the others must battle a {{sbw|Duon|giant robot}} atop the {{wk|Halberd}}. After that, Lucario and the others meet up with the rest of the heroes and proceed to the Subspace World. After traveling through it, all of the heroes, including Lucario, are turned back into trophies by Tabuu. However, he is later revived by {{sbw|Luigi (SSBB)|Luigi}}, {{sbw|Ness (SSBB)|Ness}}, {{sbw|King Dedede (SSBB)|King Dedede}} and {{sbw|Kirby (SSBB)|Kirby}}. Lucario, along with the other characters, go through the Great Maze and defeat Tabuu, saving the world.

''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 sweep slowly left and right to hit selected enemies multiple times. The last blow will send the victim flying away.''

==[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]==
Lucario returns as a playable fighter where unlike Brawl Lucario is now part of the opening roster. This time around, it can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Lucario for its Final Smash. As Mega Lucario, it can temporarily enhance Lucario's Aura attacks to max power similar to if Lucario under normal circumstances had already taken too much damage. In {{sbw|All-Star Mode}}, Lucario is fought in the 2001-2006 stretch. In the 3DS version, it is the last opponent, fought after {{few|Ike}} on either {{sbw|3D Land}}, {{sbw|Distant Planet}}, or {{sbw|Tortimer Island}}. In the Wii U version, it is one of the first opponents fought, alongside Ike and {{met|Zero Suit Samus}}, on either {{sbw|Castle Siege}}, {{pk|Garden of Hope}}, {{sbw|Mario Circuit (SSB4)|Mario Circuit}}, {{met|Pyrosphere}}, {{sbw|Town and City}}, or {{sbw|Smashville}}.

*'''Viridi:''' I've never seen a creature with a life force like that! It's like a current of water. Or a whirlpool!
*'''{{ip|Palutena}}:''' Oh, you mean Lucario's [[Aura]].
*'''Viridi:''' Aura?
*'''Palutena:''' Lucario can sense the life force-or Aura-emanating from all living things. As Lucario takes more damage, its own Aura grows stronger.
*'''Viridi:''' Ingenious! Lucario sounds like a perfect fit for the {{ip|Forces of Nature}}.
*'''Pit:''' We need to focus on the fight at hand.
*'''Viridi:''' You focus on the fight at hand. I gotta [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] my new recruit.
*'''Pit:''' No! Stop!
*'''Palutena:''' Pit, a wounded Lucario is stronger than it looks. Be extra careful when it's taken lots of {{sbw|damage}}.
===Trophy information===
====Lucario====
'''NA''': ''A Fighting/Steel-type Pokémon that excels in combat through the reading and manipulation of Aura. As Lucario takes more damage, its attacks grow in strength. At maximum power, Lucario deals triple damage and its Aura Sphere is particularly devastating! Foes won't even know what hit them!''
'''PAL''': ''This Fighting- and Steel-type Pokémon can sense the movements of its enemies using its Aura abilities, and is even said to be able to see enemies when they're invisible. As it takes damage, its attacks grow in strength. At maximum power, its deals triple damage, which can make its Aura Sphere attack a real force to be reckoned with!''
====Lucario (Alt.)====
'''NA''': ''Lucario's up special Extreme Speed will send this Pokémon soaring on the path you choose. Lucario flies farther the more damage it's taken. Lucario makes use of its Aura for the side special Force Palm. At extremely close range, Lucario will grab an enemy first, dealing additional damage.''
'''PAL''': ''The Extreme Speed up special sends Lucario rushing in your chosen direction, and you can adjust the flight path mid-air. Also, the more damage Lucario takes, the further it will go. For the Force Palm side special, Lucario attacks with its Aura. Using it while close to an enemy adds a grab to the move and deals extra damage.''
====Mega Evolution (Lucario)====
'''NA:''' ''In Lucario's Final Smash, it Mega Evolves into Mega Lucario. The attacks it can use don't change, but its Aura abilities become more powerful than ever, letting it deal more damage and launch opponents farther. It can also resist being launched by other fighters, but the more attacks it takes, the sooner it will transform back.''
'''PAL:''' ''For Lucario's Final Smash, it Mega Evolves into Mega Lucario. The attacks it can use don't change, but its Aura abilities become more powerful than ever, letting it deal even more damage and launch opponents even further. It can also resist being launched by other fighters, but the more attacks it takes, the less time the Final Smash lasts.''

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The damage of Lucario's [[aura]]-based attacks is based on its current damage and placing in the match; a fresh Lucario will be doing 30% less damage while a highly-damaged one will be doing 40% more. No mechanic like this exists within the [[core series]], though it is similar to the move {{m|Reversal}} or the [[Abilities]] {{a|Guts}} and {{a|Anger Point}} (although Lucario is incapable of possessing said Abilities).
* The mechanic of Lucario's attack power being dependent on his current damage does not exist within the [[core series]], though it is similar to the move {{m|Reversal}} or the {{Abilities}} {{a|Guts}}, {{a|Swarm}}, and {{a|Anger Point}} (although Lucario is incapable of possessing said Abilities).
* This Lucario appears to be based on the [[Lucario (M08)|Lucario]] that appeared in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', based on his ability to speak human language. It is voiced by [[Daisuke Namikawa]] in Japanese and, as of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'', [[Sean Schemmel]] in English, both of whom voiced Lucario in the movie.
