Trivia

• Lucario's English name was revealed on 9th February 2006, when the title for the movie Lucario and the Mystery of Mew was announced.
• Before Pokémon Diamond and Pearl were released, many believed Lucario to be a legendary, 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, and even evolves from a Pokémon, Riolu.
• This makes it the first non-legendary Pokemon to be in a central role in a Pokémon movie.

Origin

Lucario appears to be based on the Egyptian god Anubis, who has the head of a jackal. 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 may be a corrupted, backward version of oracle. It may also be a reference to Cairo, Egypt.
