Gimmick: Aura Gauge
When Lucario deals damage to opponents, dodges any attack, performs a Perfect Shield or counters any attack, the Aura Gauge will fill up.
The Aura Gauge is split in two sections: The Resolve Meter used for his Normals or Aerials and the E.X. Meter used for Smashes or Specials.
Each time the Resolve Meter is completely filled up with Aura, one bar in the E.X. Meter is gained. The E.X. Meter will have four bars in total.
Some of Lucario's Normals (F Tilt, U Tilt, D Tilt, "ZL/ ZR" + "A") and any of his Aerials allow him to fire small blasts of energy if they are held.
If the "A" and "B" buttons are pressed simultaneously with the Aura Gauge completely full, Lucario temporarily takes on his Mega Evo form.

Specials
Neutral Special: Aura Sphere
Lucario puts his hands together to create a ball of energy between them, then fires it straight forward.
If Aura Sphere used while mid-air, he'll fire several smaller balls of energy that home in on opponents.
Dodging or shielding while charging up an Aura Sphere allows Lucario store the charge for future use.
(Origin: Pokémon Diamond & Pearl)
Side Special: Bone Rush/ Metal Sound
Lucario creates a bone of energy in his hands, then charges forward while thrusting forward at high speed.
After using Bone Rush he can use the energy bone to perform one of three optional fast follow-up swings.
If inputted backward, he uses his hand spikes to create a soundwave which makes anyone cover their ears.
(Origin: Pokémon Stadium 2 & Pokémon Ruby/ Sapphire)
Up Special: Extreme Speed
Lucario covers himself in a glowing green aura, then charges in any chosen direction at high speed to attack.
At the end of the charge or upon contact with an opponent, he'll perform a quick and powerful backflip kick.
If Lucario makes contact with any opponent onstage, he'll unleash a flurry of attacks and send them skyward.
(Origin: Pokémon Stadium 2)
Down Special: Force Palm/ Bulldoze
Lucario breifly charges up aura and performs a palm thrust, shooting a powerul stream of enegry forward.
If Force Palm is used in close range, he grabs the opponent with one hand, then fires energy with another.
While mid-air, Lucario performs a diving kick to create a shockwave on the ground or bury any opponent.
(Origin: Pokémon Diamond/ Pearl & Pokémon Black/ White 2)
Shield Special: Calm Mind
Lucario puts his hands together, closes his eyes, then breathes slowly while his entire body glows brightly.
As a result, both his Attack and Defense stats are increased. This also gives him a part of the Aura Gauge.
If any opponent attacks Lucario while he's meditating, he'll dodge the attack, but loose the statistic boost.
(Origin: Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire)
Jab +: Meteor Mash
Lucario covers one of his hands in starry energy, then performs a powerful punch to send any opponent flying.
If Meteor Mash successfully hits an opponent, he'll gain a temporary boost in attack power for fifteen seconds.
(Origin: Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire)
Grab +: Sky Uppercut
Lucario covers one of his arms in energy, then performs a fast and strong leaping uppercut on the opponent.
After using Sky Uppercut, he can follow-up with another uppercut or use one of his aerials on the opponents.
(Origin: Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire)
+ + : Vacuum Wave
Lucario breifly covers one of his hands in pure glowing wind, then punches straight forward to fire a whirlwind.
If the "B" button is pressed again after using Vacuum Wave, he'll fire another whirlwind, but at the cost of aura.
(Origin: Pokémon Diamond & Pearl)
Final Smash: Metal Claw/ Focus Blast
If Lucario is in point-blank range of an opponent, he punches them in the stomach, then uses the spikes on his hands to make six claws.
After turning his spikes into claws, he'll attack the opponent with rapid claw swipes, then finish them off with an "X" shaped diving slash.
If Lucario is in any other range, he puts both of his hands together to make a large ball of energy and shoots it straight across the stage.
Metal Claw and Focus Blast become stronger with every bar added to the Aura Gauge. However, this spends the entire gauge upon use.
Activating either of those Final Smashes with the Aura Gauge completely full, Lucario Mega Evolves to use a cinemantic version of them.
