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 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.

'''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.''

Lucario returns as a fighter in [[Super Smash Bros. 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 is 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 Evolved before performing its original Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Aura Storm}}, which now benefits from a wider reach.
