Aura Sphere is a fairly damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation IV that cannot miss. The user concentrates a sphere of Aura into one point, which is hurled at the target. Aura Sphere is most commonly associated with Lucario, although a few other Pokémon can use it.

In the anime

Pokémon

Lucario. A blue-green ball forms in front of Lucario's hand. Lucario then fires at its opponent. The size of the sphere can vary depending on how long Lucario charges the ball.

Riolu.

Palkia. A pink ball forms in between Palkia's hand. Palkia then fires at its opponent. The size of the sphere can vary depending on how long Palkia charges the ball.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Aura Sphere is Lucario's standard Special move. Like most of its moves, Aura Sphere is more powerful if Lucario has taken more damage.

Trivia

  • Its appearance, description, and typing closely resemble the Hadouken technique from Street Fighter.
  • Lucario and Togekiss are the only non-legendary Pokémon that can learn Aura Sphere naturally.
  • The Mew from Mewtwo Strikes Back seemed to be able to use Aura Sphere, though this may have been merely a deflection of Mewtwo's attack; it's also likely that it was Shadow Ball, the same move Mewtwo was using.
  • 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 the most recognized move that Lucario uses and the most recognized move that uses aura.
