Lucario (ルカリオ Lucario) is a Steel/Fighting-type Pokémon and is the evolved form of Riolu. Riolu evolves into Lucario by leveling up with high happiness during the day. Lucario are usually very polite and modest. Some can even talk and are very powerful and are considered by many the strongest Fighting-Type Pokémon in the games. According to legend, in the old times Lucario were teachers to humans and taught the first Martial Arts to them.
Appearance
Lucario
Lucario is a jackal-like Pokémon that nears four feet in height (3'11" exactly). It stands on two feet like its pre-evolved form Riolu. Lucario looks like some what dog/wolf like Pokémon. Also a kangroo in some points. Though similar in appearance to Riolu, Lucario has some notable differences. It's forepaws are black and it has large pointed spikes in place of the oval shaped bumps on Riolu. There is also a third spike in the middle of its chest. Lucario's ears and muzzle are longer in comparison to Riolu but it retains the black "mask" and red eyes. It also has four black appendages on the back of its head opposed to Riolu, who only had two and were previously located on the side of its head. Additionally, Lucario's torso is covered in yellow fur. Lucario is a very strong Pokémon and Paradise Kingdom's Riolu is so strong that if it evolved into Lucario it would be the strongest Lucario. However, Paradise Kingdom's Riolu can't evolve.
Known as the Aura Pokémon, Lucario are sensitive to a special type of energy called aura. The black appendages on the back of its head are used to detect the auras of creatures and objects around it. With its ability to sense the auras in all things around it, it can navigate and track through telepathic methods. They can also guide the waves of an aura in an offensive manner to create small balls of energy such as Aura Sphere. Lucario are also able understand human speech; it is said that Lucario can also speak it, though only one has been shown to do so, and only through telepathy and have a high attack stats and is very fast.
In Anime

Lucario's first appearance in an episode from the main series was in Lost Leader Strategy!, under the ownership of Maylene, the Veilstone City Gym Leader. Maylene's Lucario was used again in the next two episodes Crossing the Battle Line! and A Triple Fighting Chance!, where Maylene battled Dawn in a match and Ash in a Gym Battle. It is also The Champion's Pokémon, Cynthia.

Lucario as seen in Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.
Lucario has a lead role in the Pokémon movie Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. Lucario is considered a legend from olden times to the town where he appears in front of Ash Ketchum and his friends, and mistakes Ash for his old friend Sir Aaron due to his similar aura. At one time in the past, Lucario was going to try and help Sir Aaron save a castle, but Aaron trapped him in his Aura staff.

In Game
Lucario's first game appearance was in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, (only 4 appear in thegame: Maylene's, Riley's, and Cynthia's, and the trainer's (If evolved), but other can be seen through trade) but it appears to be a late Hoenn Pokémon because it was in the movie Pokémon:Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, and it was mentioned as one of the greats explorers by Alakazam (the leader of team ACT Alakazam, Charizard, and Tyranitar in Mystery Dungeon Blue and Red Rescue Team. It is only obtainable by evolving a Riolu. There is only one Egg from which Riolu evolves in the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, which is given to you by a trainer called Riley upon completing the Iron Island maze and defeating the Galactic Grunts. It evolves through Happiness in the daytime (4am - 8pm).
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Lucario is seen as the greatest rescue leader of all time, and has become a legend. The top rank in the game is known as the Lucario rank.
He is a playable Pokemon in Explorers of Sky by Evolving Riolu. However, he has no role in the main plot unlike in the original version.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Lucario is also available as an unlockable character in the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He is unlocked by meeting him in the Subspace Emissary, or by playing a certain amount of VS matches. Most of his attacks are imbued with aura. Ironically, he does not use any moves like Metal Claw, but he uses his down smash in a fashion similar to Dark Pulse.
Lucario as he appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Lucario's attacks in Brawl are:
- Standard Special - Aura Sphere
- Side Special - Force Palm
- Up Special - Extremespeed (called Agility in some cases)
- Down Special - Double Team (called Counter in some cases)
- Final Smash - Aura Storm
Lucario's appearance in the story mode The Subspace Emissary is fairly late in the game. Lucario meditates atop an icy peak when he is approached by Meta Knight, who has climbed the mountain alongside the Ice Climbers to reach his stolen ship the Halberd, which is approaching. Lucario challenges Meta-Knight to a fight, but the two of them become friends afterwards, and Lucario joins Meta-Knight in Infiltrating the Halberd, where he discovers Solid Snake hiding in a cardboard box.

Origins
