'''Lucas''' (Japanese: '''コウキ''' ''Kouki'') is the male [[player character]] of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and their [[Generation VIII]] remakes {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. His female counterpart is {{ga|Dawn}}.

==Terminology==
'''Lucas''' (Japanese: '''コウキ''' ''Kouki'') is his name when he appears as a [[non-player character]] in the [[core series]] games, and is also the name of {{mas|Lucas|his counterpart}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]].

Some screenshots of {{game|Platinum}} on the Japanese Nintendo website refer to Lucas as '''プラット''' (''Plat'').<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/cpuj/wi-fi/index.html Pokémon Platinum on Nintendo] (Japanese)</ref> [https://youtu.be/gU648Rj3wb8 A trailer] for {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} refers to Lucas in English as "'''Koki'''", his Japanese official name.

==In the core series games==
===As the protagonist===
====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
Lucas lives in [[Twinleaf Town]] with his mother. Lucas and {{ga|Barry}} both see a television program about a [[red Gyarados]], so the two head to the nearby [[Lake Verity]] in search of a similar Pokémon. As the enter the lake area, Professor Rowan and his assistant {{ga|Dawn}} are leaving, but have inadvertently left a briefcase behind. Lucas and Barry wander into the tall grass, but are suddenly attacked by wild {{p|Starly}}; as a last resort, they each use one of the Pokémon in the briefcase the Professor has forgotten. The two take their Pokémon to Sandgem Town to return them to Professor Rowan, but Rowan decides to let the two keep their Pokémon, and also gives them each a [[Pokédex]].

Lucas goes on to gather the eight [[Gym Badge]]s of [[Sinnoh]], defeat [[Team Galactic]], and conquer the {{si|Pokémon League}}. He has to stop [[Team Galactic]] from trying to use either {{p|Dialga}}{{sup/4|D}}{{sup/8|BD}} or {{p|Palkia}}{{sup/4|P}}{{sup/8|SP}} to destroy the entire universe in order to create a new one.

====Pokémon Platinum====
Lucas lives in [[Twinleaf Town]] with his mother. Lucas and {{ga|Barry}} both see a television program about Professor Rowan, so the two head to [[Sandgem Town]] to visit Professor Rowan at his lab to get some Pokémon of their own. They receive their Pokémon on {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} when Professor Rowan realizes that they are so dedicated to Pokémon that they would attempt to travel from Twinleaf Town to [[Sandgem Town]] through the [[tall grass]] without any Pokémon of their own.

Lucas goes on to gather the eight [[Gym Badge]]s of [[Sinnoh]], defeat [[Team Galactic]], and conquer the {{si|Pokémon League}}. He has to go to the [[Distortion World]] and face Giratina, in order to stop both worlds from destroying each other.

====Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2====
In Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2, the player character from Diamond, Pearl and Platinum and their exploits are referenced by [[Cynthia]], who remembers a young Trainer who had defeated her.

===As a non-playable character===
If the player chooses Dawn, Lucas appears in the game as an NPC. He serves as [[Professor Rowan]]'s assistant. He lives in [[Sandgem Town]] with his little sister, grandfather, and father—who also works as an assistant of Professor Rowan. He received his [[first partner Pokémon]] before the player, having either a {{p|Turtwig}}, {{p|Chimchar}} or {{p|Piplup}}—the Pokémon he has is always the one that has a type disadvantage against the player's first partner Pokémon.

He demonstrates how to catch Pokémon to the player by catching a wild {{p|Bidoof}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Lucas anime artwork.png|thumb|220px|Anime concept art]]
* In the early development of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Lucas was originally going to have a father, which is further evidenced by script files leftover in their remakes, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20231001124935/https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1708462187696595066</ref>
* The majority of his Japanese default names are shared with {{ga|Red}} from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{ga|Ethan}} from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* Lucas is 4'8" (142&nbsp;cm) tall and weighs 83.8&nbsp;lbs (38&nbsp;kg). This was confirmed by checking the heights and weights of certain Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]]. As such, {{p|Fearow}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, {{p|Yanma}}, {{p|Skuntank}}, and {{p|Togekiss}} are all the same weight as Lucas.
* One of {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}}'s palette swaps in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] has a color scheme based on Lucas's design in Diamond and Pearl.
