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.
