Biology
Physiology

Lucario is a bipedal, jackal-like Pokémon that's around four feet in height. Lucario's forepaws are black and have one white spike on each arm on the upper-side of its wrists. In addition, there's a third spike on Lucario's chest. Lucario's snout and ears have also grown longer since its evolution from Riolu. Lucario also has a furry yellow torso, and its thighs are in the shape of what looks like blue shorts. Also, Lucario stands on the balls of its feet, rather than on its entire foot.
Gender differences

None.
Special abilities

Lucario are sensitive to a special type of energy called Aura. Lucario can study these waves to predict the movements of their opponents, and use them to track anyone. They can also guide the waves offensively to create explosive balls of Aura energy (such as Aura Sphere, one of only two non-legendaries to learn that move). Lucario are also able to understand human speech; some people say that Lucario can also speak it, though only one has reportedly done so, and through telepathy.
Behavior

Lucario are considered to be prideful creatures, and are extremely loyal to their trainers. Lucario also seem to have a natural sense of justice.
Habitat

Lucario usually live deep in mountains very far from people to improve their skills. Therefore, like Milotic and Togekiss, they are some of the rarest non-legendary Pokémon known, and finding a wild Lucario is excruciatingly difficult.
Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

The Lucario in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew was shown eating berries and was introduced to chocolate by Max.

Major appearances
Sir Aaron's Lucario
Lucario

Over 1,000 years ago, Lucario served Sir Aaron. Lucario was sensitive to aura, invisible vibrations that all objects, especially living things, release. This enabled him to "see" objects and living creatures and predict the actions of others even with their eyes closed. Lucario could use aura as an offensive attack in the form of Aura Sphere, in which he would amass a sphere of energy and hurl it at an opponent. Aaron taught Lucario how to refine his sensitivity to aura.

When Cameran Palace was about to be caught in the middle of a war, Aaron was on his way to the Tree of Beginning to attempt to stop the battle when he came across Lucario, who had been temporarily blinded by a group of sand-kicking Houndoom, where Aaron told him that he was never going back to the castle. Aaron intended to sacrifice himself to stop the war, but Lucario jumped to the conclusion that he was abandoning the kingdom, which caused Aaron to throw his staff, sealing Lucario within.

Years later, in the present time, Lucario was awoken from the staff when it was held by Ash Ketchum, who has a similar aura pattern to Aaron. Lucario initially mistook Ash for Aaron, and was stubborn and distrustful of humans after being sealed in the staff. Unaware of Aaron's sacrifice, Lucario held a grudge toward Aaron, thinking Aaron had abandoned the castle and him. He had considered himself Aaron's servant, and he could not understand the friendship between Ash and Pikachu. However, a time flower message left by Aaron shortly before his death told Lucario the truth, that Aaron considered Lucario a friend, not a servant.

Once again the Tree of Beginning was disturbed, threatening to destroy the balance between Pokémon and nature. Ash and Lucario rushed to its core and began to use their aura to energize the tree's defense system. Using up their aura would have meant the same fate as Aaron—death. However, just as Ash was about to use up his aura, Lucario pushed him away, instead sacrificing only himself to the tree.

After Lucario's death, the portrait of Aaron in Cameran Palace was altered to include Lucario by Aaron's side, cementing their relationship as best friends and partners in aura manipulation. Lucario is later seen with Aaron once again and gives him a bar of chocolate, which he enjoys; this is surely after his death, as Lucario did not know what chocolate was until Max gave it to him in an effort to earn his trust for the sake of the group.
Maylene's Lucario
Lucario with Maylene

It was first seen in Lost Leader Strategy! battling with Maylene in their training. Lucario used Aura Sphere to stop the battle of Electabuzz, Piplup and Pikachu. It is also seen battling Paul's Pokémon in a flashback.

Lucario was seen again in Crossing the Battle Line! where it battled in Dawn's gym battle against Maylene. It defeated Dawn's Ambipom and Piplup.

It appeared once more in A Triple Fighting Chance! where it battled in Ash's gym battle against Maylene. It defeated Ash's Staravia and Chimchar, but was knocked out along with Ash's Buizel, resulting in a tie.

Lucario was last seen in Enter Galactic! when it helped Ash and the others defeat Saturn and Team Galactic.
Riley's Lucario
Riley's Lucario

This Lucario debuted in Steeling Peace of Mind! at Iron Island. When Ash and his friends traveled there after being contacted by Barry, they found the local Steel-type Pokémon fighting brutally against each other and the other Pokémon on the island. When a crazed Aggron attacked Ash, Riley stepped in and had Lucario attack it with Close Combat. Despite being a Steel-type as well, Lucario wasn't affected like the others of its type due to its strong aura.

Riley informed Ash that, like his Lucario, he could use Aura. Together they found the source of the problem: a machine operated under Mars's command that was using the Spear Key to create low frequency waves which tortured the Steel-type Pokémon. Lucario attempted to read the Aura coming out of the machine, but at that time, Mars placed the Spear Key into a pillar at the ruins the squadron was excavating. The beam that launched out of the pillar's tip overwhelmed Lucario and caused it to rebel against Riley, even breaking its Poké Ball in half when he tried to recall it.

Even then, however, Lucario wasn't completely under the machine's influence and tried to destroy the machine but couldn't do it. Ash managed to finish the job and destroy the machine and Lucario and the other Steel-types were brought back to their senses. When Mars realized her plan was shot, she fled and attempted to blow up Iron Island with bombs, but her efforts were thwarted when both Riley and Lucario used their combined Aura powers to contain the blast and send it flying.
Minor appearances

Lucario makes a cameo in the theme songs Battle Frontier and Together.

Lucario also makes a brief appearance at the intro of The Rise of Darkrai, where one is shown dodging Rayquaza's Hyper Beam.

A Lucario and Froslass were seen in a Double contest on TV in DP150.

Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Lucario in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Lucario is a playable character available in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is unlocked by encountering it in The Subspace Emissary either from choosing it to battle and claim victory over Meta Knight or vice-versa. It can also be unlocked by playing 100 brawls or beating Target Smash!! on all difficulty levels (in either 1 or 2-player modes).

Lucario appears to be able to talk with the help of Aura; most notably seen while using his Final Smash when it says "Watch the power of Aura!" Lucario's fighting style revolves around Aura manipulation and the concept of "high risk, high return"; the more damage Lucario has taken, the stronger it and its attacks become. Its power is at its peak when it has taken 200% damage, and is in last place during a fight.

Codec information (on Shadow Moses Island)

* Mei Ling: "You're fighting Lucario, aren't you, Snake?"
* Solid Snake: "Mei Ling, what's that purple fire coming out of his hands??"
* Mei Ling: "That's his 'Aura.'"
* Solid 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."
* Solid Snake: "The cornered rat will bite the cat... Sounds like trouble."
* Mei Ling: "Hey! When did you become so good with proverbs?!"
* Solid 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."

Trophy information
Classic Mode: Lucario

An Aura Pokémon. It can track energy called Aura, which is given off by all living creatures. It's a unique combination of both Fighting- and Steel-types. Lucario evolves from Riolu during the day if its happiness has reached a certain point. It specializes in attacks that use Aura energy, like Dark Pulse and a can't-miss technique, Aura Sphere.
All-Star Mode: Aura Storm

Lucario's Final Smash. After flying off the screen, Lucario reappears in its center. It then launches a powerful Aura attack against all foes within a certain distance. The key to this attack is the ability to change its angle--it's a must to sweep slowly left and right to his selected enemies multiple times. The last blow will send the victim flying away.

Trivia
Dusty's Lucario Costume

* Lucario's English name, which is unchanged from the Japanese version, was revealed on February 9, 2006 with the announcement of the title of Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.
* Lucario is the only Pokémon other than the Cubone evolutionary family to learn a bone-based move.
* Before Pokémon Diamond and Pearl were released, many believed Lucario to be a legendary Pokémon, based on its starring role in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. This has since been proven untrue, as it is readily available in the Generation IV games, is under ownership by NPCs, and even evolves from a Pokémon, Riolu.
o This makes it the second non-legendary Pokémon to be in a central role in a Pokémon movie, the first being Unown.
* In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, Lucario is the only one out of three Gem Guardians that is not a legendary Pokémon.
* Three important, non-playable characters in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum own a Lucario: Maylene, Riley, and Cynthia. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Bruno has a Lucario after the player defeats Red.
* Cynthia, the Sinnoh champion who uses a Lucario, wears hairbands that strongly resemble Lucario's "Aura Sensors".
* Lucario can learn damaging moves from 15 of the 17 elemental types. The only types that Lucario can't learn are Grass-type and Flying-type, with the exception of Hidden Power.
* In Pokémon Battle Revolution, a Lucario Costume is seen, worn by Dusty.
* Both of Lucario's abilities relate to flinching. Steadfast makes Lucario faster when flinching, whilst Inner Focus protects it from it.
o Due to this combination, Steadfast can only activate in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness and Explorers of Sky if Lucario becomes cross-eyed.

Trivia related to typing

* No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Lucario.
o Lucario is the only Fighting-type Pokémon that receives double damage from Fighting-type moves.
o It is also the only Fighting-type not weak to Flying- and Psychic-type (without being part Psychic-type itself) moves.
o Lucario is the only Pokémon to have a double resistance to Dark-type attacks.
o It is also one of two Pokémon that have a double resistance to Rock-type moves; the other is Steelix.
* Lucario is also the only Fighting-type Pokémon whose Special Attack stat surpasses its Attack.
* Lucario is the only Pokémon that learns Dragon Pulse through leveling up who is not a Dragon-type or related to a Dragon-type.
* Despite Aura Sphere being a Fighting-type move, Lucario is the only Fighting-type Pokémon to learn this move, save for a Riolu from Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.
* Lucario has the lowest Defense of all Steel-type Pokémon, tied with Magnemite.
* Lucario, along with Poliwrath, are the only non-Psychic, Fighting-type Pokémon able to learn the move Psychic.

Origin

Lucario appears to be based on the Egyptian god Anubis, who has the head of a jackal. It also seems to be based on an Egyptian boxer. Boxing is a sport that is believed to have origins in Egypt. The black appendages on the back of its head are used to detect the Auras of creatures and objects around it. While Lucario reads Aura, it closes its eyes, and thus the appendages and the way they look "tied" around its face appear to be based on someone being blindfolded.
Name origin

Lucario's name possibly derives from part of a Japanese spelling of oracle or orichalcum in reverse, reflecting its mythical design, its ability to see into the supernatural, and its Steel-type. It may also refer to Cairo, Egypt. The word pharaoh may also be involved.
In other languages

* Brazilian Portuguese: Lucario
* German: Lucario
