Trivia

• The booster pack of Legends Awakened has a Lucario using Aura Sphere. However, this Aura Sphere was a more greenish shade of color, while the anime always shows Lucario making a blue Aura Sphere.
• Aura Sphere is mostly recognized for being used by Lucario and the most recognized of the moves that use aura.
• Of all the moves which cannot miss, Aura Sphere is one of only three which do not have 60 power (the other two being Vital Throw and Clear Smog). In addition, Aura Sphere is the one with the highest power.
  • Concidentially, two of them are Template:Type2 moves.
