More Details From PokkenArena.com Lucario at Pokken Arena

Lucario is a Fighting/Steel-type playable Pokémon classified as the Aura Pokémon. He evolves from Riolu and has the potential to Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario. As the game's mascot character, Lucario was one of the first fighters confirmed to be in the game along with Machamp and was introduced to Pokkén Tournament upon his initial release in Japan on arcade.

Special Characteristics[]

Lucario has a significantly higher jump level than most playable Pokémon.

Synergy Burst[]

Aesthetics[]

In Burst Mode, Lucario will Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario, gaining all the corresponding appearance changes in the process. His cream fur becomes longer, and his thighs slim down. He develops more spikes on the back of his paws, which have turned crimson. He also develops spikes on both feet, which have become crimson too, and each shoulder also gains a spike. His previously red eyes are now orange-colored. His aura-sensing appendages grow much longer, and the two outer appendages are tipped in crimson and extend further than the torso. Finally, Lucario's aura heightens throughout his body, which forms black markings on his blue fur.

Character-Specific Burst Mode Effects[]

Mega Lucario
Aura Blast
  • If X is pressed again after performing the Normal Strong Attack, Mega Lucario will additionally stomp on the ground afterwards to create a column of aura and deal more damage.
  • Mega Lucario's Standard Grab Attack in Duel Phase receives unique animations and much greater damage output. He now knees the opponent, stomps on the ground to create a column of aura, and fires one Aura Sphere at the opponent to launch them.
  • Mega Lucario has a redone Aura Sphere Pokémon move during his Synergy Burst, which now includes three levels of charging:
    • Low: Fires two small, rotating Aura Spheres that quickly move towards the target.
    • Medium: Identical to his original Aura Sphere.
    • Maximum: Fires a large horizontal beam of Aura in front of himself.
  • After using Force Palm, Mega Lucario can thrust into the opponent by pressing A again after using Force Palm.
  • After using Extreme Speed, Mega Lucario can perform a follow-up attack in the air.
  • Mega Lucario can perform a midair dash by pressing R.
  • Mega Lucario also runs much faster, but the jumping height remains the same.

Burst Attack - Aura Blast[]

Mega Lucario's Burst Attack is a Normal Attack known as Aura Blast. As a Burst Attack, it counts as a fully-charged attack and will pierce opposing Counter Attacks.

During the startup animation, Mega Lucario kneels onto the ground with his eyes closed, then rushes to the opponent with a short range punch that links into a spinning uppercut, sending the opponent into the air. If Mega Lucario or its aura in the uppercut makes direct contact with the opponent without being blocked, the full animation will ordinarily occur. Lucario then fires six Aura Blasts that sets him up to finish them off as they fall down, with a powered up Aura Sphere that creates a massive explosion.

Trivia[]

  • The way Lucario uses Bone Rush in Pokken Tournament appears to be directly based on how he has been depicting using the move in both the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and Pokemon XY&Z series of the anime. Similarly, the appearance of Lucario's Force Palm also appears to based on how it was depicted being used by Maylene's Lucario in the Diamond and Pearl series.
  • This is the first depiction of Mega Lucario in which the black lines running across his body feature glowing blue borders. This is somewhat consistent with its Pokedex description, however, which indicates that the black lines mark where the concentration of aura flowing through Mega Lucario's body is the strongest.
