==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Ash Lucario Aura vision.png|thumb|left|250px|Lucario using its [[aura]] vision to sense aura.]]
Lucario is a bipedal, jackal-like Pokémon, with fur that is predominantly blue and black. It possesses a short, round spike on the back of each forepaw, in addition to a third on its chest. Lucario's snout and ears are longer than those of its pre-evolution {{p|Riolu}}. It possesses cream-colored fur on its torso, and blue fur on its thighs that appears to resemble shorts. Lucario stands on its toes rather than on its entire foot. It has developed four small black appendages on its head, which rise when Lucario reads or manipulates aura.
[[File:Korrina Mega Lucario Bone Rush.png|thumb|250px|Mega Lucario creating a bone staff]]
Lucario is a bipedal, canine-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with predominantly blue and black fur. It possesses a short, round spike on the back of each forepaw, in addition to a third on its chest. It has red eyes, a long snout, and ears. When its mouth is open, two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower, can be seen. It possesses cream-colored fur on its torso and blue fur on its thighs that resemble shorts. It has a medium-length tail of the same blue color as well. It stands on its toes rather than on its entire foot. It has developed four black appendages that hang down from its head, which rise when Lucario reads or manipulates [[aura]], a special energy that it senses. Lucario can use its powers to create a staff in form a bone and use it to fight.


====Gender differences====
Lucario can study auras to predict the movements of its opponents and track their quarry. With sufficient training, a Lucario can read auras to understand how living beings are feeling from more than half a mile (1 kilometer) away. However, it sometimes ends up learning information that it would not like to know, causing it to get stressed out easily. It also has the power to manipulate this energy in an offensive manner, in the form of {{m|Aura Sphere|explosive spheres of energy}}. Lucario can understand human speech and has been reported to communicate with humans through telepathy.
None.


===Special abilities===
Lucario is considered to be prideful and is extremely loyal to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It also seems to have a natural sense of justice, as it only trusts Trainers with righteous hearts. It is an exceptionally rare Pokémon that usually lives deep in mountains very far from people to improve their skills. Lucario are primarily carnivores, hunting their prey in packs, though one {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} was seen eating {{Berries}} and plants like roses. It has also been seen eating chocolate, even though chocolate is not part of its natural diet.
Lucario are sensitive to a special type of energy called [[Aura|aura]]. Lucario can study this energy to predict the movements of their opponents and track their quarries. They also have the power to manipulate this energy in an offensive manner, in the form of [[Aura Sphere (move)|explosive spheres of aura energy]]. Lucario can understand human speech, and have been reported to communicate with humans through telepathy.


===Behavior===
===Forms===
Lucario are considered to be prideful creatures, and are extremely loyal to their Trainers. Lucario also seem to have a natural sense of justice.
Lucario can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Lucario.


===Habitat===
As Mega Lucario, its cream fur becomes longer, and its thighs slim down. It develops more spikes on the back of its paws, which have turned crimson. It also develops spikes on both of its feet, which have become crimson too. Its previously red eyes are now orange-colored. Its aura-sensing appendages grow longer, and two of them are tipped in crimson. Its shoulders also possess a spike each. Its aura heightens throughout its body, which formed black markings on its blue fur.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Lucario</ref>
Lucario usually live deep in mountains very far from people to improve their skills. Therefore, like {{p|Milotic}} and {{p|Togekiss}}, they are some of the rarest non-legendary Pokémon known, and finding a wild Lucario is excruciatingly difficult.


===Diet===
In [[Kalos]], Mega Lucario is believed to be the first discovered Mega Evolution, until the discovery of Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} in [[Hoenn]]. It was the first recorded Mega Evolution to be achieved by [[Mega Stone]]. People call Mega Lucario's fighting style heartless due to it being bathed in the explosive energy of Mega Evolution, awakening its combative instincts and causing it to not show any mercy to any of its opponents.
{{main|Pokémon food}}
The Lucario in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' was shown eating Berries and plants, like roses. Lucario has been seen eating chocolate, introduced by [[Max]] with it gaining no ill-effects from the {{wp|theobromine}}, though not part of its natural diet.

===Evolution===
Lucario is Maylene's main Pokémon, it was first seen in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' {{pkmn|battle|battling}} with Maylene in their {{pkmn|training}}. Lucario used {{m|Aura Sphere}} to stop the battle of {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz|Electivire}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}. It was used in Maylene's matches with [[Paul]], {{an|Dawn}} and {{Ash}}.
Lucario evolves from {{p|Riolu}}.


====[[Riley's Lucario]]====
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
This Lucario debuted in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' at [[Iron Island]]. When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} traveled there after being contacted by {{an|Barry}}, they found the local {{type|Steel}} Pokémon fighting brutally against each other and the other Pokémon on the island. When a crazed {{p|Aggron}} attacked Ash, [[Riley]] stepped in and had Lucario attack it with {{m|Close Combat}}. Despite being a Steel type as well, Lucario wasn't immediately affected like the others of its type due to its strong [[aura]].

===Origin===
===Origin===
Lucario appears to be based on the Egyptian god of funerals, {{wp|Anubis}}, who has the head of a {{wp|jackal}}. Anubis's role in Egyptian mythology was to judge the hearts of deceased souls based on their actions during life. This resembles Lucario's ability to see a life form's aura. It also seems to be based on an Egyptian boxer. {{wp|Boxing}} is a sport that is believed to have origins in Egypt. The markings on Lucario's face resemble a mask.
Lucario appears to be based on the Egyptian god of funerals and the dead, {{wp|Anubis}}, who has the head of an {{wp|African golden wolf}}. Anubis's role in {{wp|Egyptian mythology}} was to judge the hearts of deceased souls based on their actions during their life. This resembles Lucario's ability to see a life form's aura.
 
The fact that Lucario can craft a bone staff using the move {{m|Bone Rush}} may reference Anubis's role as the god of the dead and its animal symbolism—the jackal, which shares a kinship with dogs. It also seems to be based on an Egyptian boxer. {{wp|Boxing}} is a sport that is believed to have origins in Egypt.
 
The markings on Lucario's face resemble a mask. The rings around its shoulders may be inspired by {{wp|iron rings}} used in martial arts. The four appendages on Lucario's head, together with the shape drawn by its mask (a bisected ring), may suggest inspiration from a {{wp|khakkhara}}, which in popular depictions can respond to spiritual energies similarly to how Lucario's appendages act when it senses aura. The appendages and the conical protrusions on Lucario's hands and chest may draw inspiration from the {{wp|jackal's horn}}, which is a conical growth that can grow on the back of a {{wp|golden jackal}}'s head that is believed to have magic powers in some regions.
 
Lucario's golden-yellow shiny coloration may be drawn from the African golden wolf and the golden jackal.

Lucario (Japanese: ルカリオ Lucario) is a dual-type Fighting/Steel Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves from Riolu when leveled up with high friendship during the day.

Lucario can Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario using the Lucarionite.

Biology

Lucario using its aura vision to sense aura.
Mega Lucario creating a bone staff

Lucario is a bipedal, canine-like Pokémon with predominantly blue and black fur. It possesses a short, round spike on the back of each forepaw, in addition to a third on its chest. It has red eyes, a long snout, and ears. When its mouth is open, two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower, can be seen. It possesses cream-colored fur on its torso and blue fur on its thighs that resemble shorts. It has a medium-length tail of the same blue color as well. It stands on its toes rather than on its entire foot. It has developed four black appendages that hang down from its head, which rise when Lucario reads or manipulates aura, a special energy that it senses. Lucario can use its powers to create a staff in form a bone and use it to fight.

Lucario can study auras to predict the movements of its opponents and track their quarry. With sufficient training, a Lucario can read auras to understand how living beings are feeling from more than half a mile (1 kilometer) away. However, it sometimes ends up learning information that it would not like to know, causing it to get stressed out easily. It also has the power to manipulate this energy in an offensive manner, in the form of explosive spheres of energy. Lucario can understand human speech and has been reported to communicate with humans through telepathy.

Lucario is considered to be prideful and is extremely loyal to its Trainer. It also seems to have a natural sense of justice, as it only trusts Trainers with righteous hearts. It is an exceptionally rare Pokémon that usually lives deep in mountains very far from people to improve their skills. Lucario are primarily carnivores, hunting their prey in packs, though one Lucario was seen eating Berries and plants like roses. It has also been seen eating chocolate, even though chocolate is not part of its natural diet.

Forms

Lucario can Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario.

As Mega Lucario, its cream fur becomes longer, and its thighs slim down. It develops more spikes on the back of its paws, which have turned crimson. It also develops spikes on both of its feet, which have become crimson too. Its previously red eyes are now orange-colored. Its aura-sensing appendages grow longer, and two of them are tipped in crimson. Its shoulders also possess a spike each. Its aura heightens throughout its body, which formed black markings on its blue fur.[1]

In Kalos, Mega Lucario is believed to be the first discovered Mega Evolution, until the discovery of Mega Rayquaza in Hoenn. It was the first recorded Mega Evolution to be achieved by Mega Stone. People call Mega Lucario's fighting style heartless due to it being bathed in the explosive energy of Mega Evolution, awakening its combative instincts and causing it to not show any mercy to any of its opponents.

Shining Pearl By sensing the aura emanating from others, it can read their thoughts and movements.
Legends: Arceus A most gallant-looking creature. It emits energy waves and controls them with precision, using them to sense even faraway beings. I have given the name “aura” to this power.

Trivia

Dusty's Lucario costume

Origin

Lucario appears to be based on the Egyptian god of funerals and the dead, Anubis, who has the head of an African golden wolf. Anubis's role in Egyptian mythology was to judge the hearts of deceased souls based on their actions during their life. This resembles Lucario's ability to see a life form's aura.

The fact that Lucario can craft a bone staff using the move Bone Rush may reference Anubis's role as the god of the dead and its animal symbolism—the jackal, which shares a kinship with dogs. It also seems to be based on an Egyptian boxer. Boxing is a sport that is believed to have origins in Egypt.

The markings on Lucario's face resemble a mask. The rings around its shoulders may be inspired by iron rings used in martial arts. The four appendages on Lucario's head, together with the shape drawn by its mask (a bisected ring), may suggest inspiration from a khakkhara, which in popular depictions can respond to spiritual energies similarly to how Lucario's appendages act when it senses aura. The appendages and the conical protrusions on Lucario's hands and chest may draw inspiration from the jackal's horn, which is a conical growth that can grow on the back of a golden jackal's head that is believed to have magic powers in some regions.

Lucario's golden-yellow shiny coloration may be drawn from the African golden wolf and the golden jackal.

Name origin

Lucario may be derived from the reverse of the Japanese transcription of orichalcum (a mythical metal) or oracle (referring to its supernatural abilities involving aura). It may also involve Canis lupaster lupaster (Egyptian wolf), λύκος lúkos (Greek for wolf), and possibly luchar (Spanish for to fight).
