Learned at Lv. 1 or 3 Cooldown: 6 seconds Upgrades into Extreme Speed or Power-Up Punch | |
| Description | ||
| Has the user lunge forward at a speed that makes it almost invisible, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it comes in contact with. | ||
| Extreme Speed しんそく Swiftness |
Learned at Lv. 5 Cooldown: 7.5 seconds Upgrades into Extreme Speed+ at Lv. 11 | |
| Description | ||
| Has the user charge forward with breathtaking speed. If the user performs a basic attack immediately after using this move, that attack's damage is increased.

| Power-Up Punch グロウパンチ Grow Punch |
Learned at Lv. 5 Cooldown: 7 seconds Upgrades into Power-Up Punch+ at Lv. 11 | |
| Description | ||
| Charges power before unleashing a powerful attack. While the user is charging power, its movement speed is decreased but its Attack slowly increases and the damage it receives is reduced. The user then charges in the designated direction and releases this move, dealing more damage the lower the opposing Pokémon's remaining HP is and making its own next basic attack a boosted attack if the move hits. This move's cooldown is reduced every time one of the user's moves hits.
Upgrade: The user becomes immune to hindrances while charging power. | ||

Pokémon UNITE Opening Cinematic
A Lucario appeared in the "Pokémon UNITE Opening Cinematic", partaking in a Unite Battle on Remoat Stadium on the orange team. They stopped an opposing Absol from attacking their ally Pikachu by jumping and shooting down a blast of aura. Then, they took another leap to score points in a purple team goal zone. It took some time for Lucario to stand up after landing from the second jump.
