'''Lucario''' (Japanese: '''ルカリオ''' ''Lucario'') is a playable character in the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. His voice and characterization are based on [[Lucario (M08)|Sir Aaron's Lucario]], giving him [[Talking Pokémon|the ability to speak telepathically]].

Lucario can be unlocked by either playing 100 matches, completing all five target smashes with a single character, or recruiting him in the Subspace Emissary. His home stage is {{st|Spear Pillar}}.

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 him 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|The Glacial Peak}}, where he duels {{wk|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|Solid Snake|Snake}} and Meta Knight throughout the next level. Lucario teams up with Snake and Meta Knight in order to battle copies of {{smw|Princess Peach|Peach}} and {{zw|Princess Zelda|Zelda}}, that are made of {{sbw|Shadow Bug}}s. 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 {{smw|Luigi}}, {{wb|Ness}}, {{wk|King Dedede}} and {{wk|Kirby}}. Lucario, along with the other characters, go through {{sbw|the Great Maze}} and defeat {{sbw|Tabuu}}, saving the world.

*'''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."''

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; however, unlike other Final Smashes that involve transformations, Lucario gains no form of invincibility (barring the startup) once transformed, and only longer lasting super armor (AKA flinch/launch resistance). Regardless, hitting Mega Lucario will decrease the duration for which it stays transformed, causing him to transform back when enough damage is inflicted.
Lucario returns as a playable fighter where, unlike Brawl, it is now part of the starting roster. It is given better mobility and an increased maximum multiplier on its Aura, but in exchange it is now lighter which can make it harder to survive long enough to reach said maximum. It also has a new Final Smash in which it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] into Mega Lucario. As Mega Lucario, its Aura is temporarily boosted to its maximum power regardless of its damage. However, unlike other Final Smashes that involve transformations, Lucario gains no form of invincibility (barring the startup) once transformed, though it does gain super armor (AKA flinch/launch resistance), damage resistance, and an immunity to being grabbed.  


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}}.

Lucario has three trophies in the game(s), with its Final Smash trophy exclusive to the Wii U version.
*'''{{ip|Viridi}}:''' What the heck is that?!

*'''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}}.

'''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.''

==[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]==
Lucario is expected to return as an unlockable fighter, however, as with other fighters, Lucario's unlocking condition is expected to be much faster and easier than in Brawl. Because Lucario's Final Smash is now fully automatic, it no longer grants a boost to its Aura mechanic. Instead, it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] while performing its previous [[Final Smash]], {{DL|Final Smash|Aura Storm}}.
[[File:448Lucario Dream.png|150px|thumb|Alternate Fighter Spirit artwork of Lucario in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
<!--
Lucario returns as a fighter in Ultimate. By default, Lucario is the 27th character to be unlocked through {{sbw|Versus Mode|VS. matches}}, but can potentially be unlocked earlier by clearing {{sbw|Classic Mode}} with {{smw|Yoshi}}, being the first in Yoshi's unlock tree.

-->
Lucario's Aura mechanic in Ultimate is tweaked to be less potent at lower percentages, but stronger at higher percentages. In addition, it moves faster in general, but is slightly lighter, making survival at higher percentages where its attacks are stronger more difficult. In addition to this, Lucario's normal and special attacks are generally faster and have longer reach. With the removal of transformation [[Final Smash]]es, Lucario's Mega Evolution is no longer controllable. Instead, it Mega Evolves before performing its original Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Aura Storm}}, which now benefits from a wider reach.
In Spirits mode, Lucario manages to dodge one of the beams of light with {{m|Double Team}}, only to get hit by another.

===Classic Mode===
Lucario's {{sbw|Classic Mode}} route is called '''Counter Encounters'''. As the title implies, Lucario battles against other fighters with counter specials in this scenario.
 
Its last boss is {{sbw|Master Hand}}, who is joined by {{sbw|Crazy Hand}} if the player reaches the fight at {{sbw|Difficulty|intensity}} 7.0 or higher.

===World of Light===
Lucario was present when Galeem unleashed his beams of light. Lucario dodged a beam of light using Double Team, but another beam of light hit it a moment later, vaporizing it and placing it under Galeem's imprisonment along with the rest of the fighters, excluding Kirby.
 
Lucario's icon is found in the World of Light's overworld, on the route past {{np|Villager}}. After defeating it, Lucario is freed and can be selected in battle in the Adventure mode. Lucario has a select few spirits designed specifically for it that enhance the power of its aura.

* 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).

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.
