Lucario is a powerful Fighting/Steel Pokémon that evolves from Riolu. He was introduced in the fourth generation of games in Diamond and Pearl.

Information

A Lucario is a somewhat humanoid creature with an appearance resembling a blue, bipedal jackal. He is covered with three spikes - two on each hand and one on the chest. His facial fur makes it apppear that he is wearing a mask, with two dangling flaps hanging in the back, suggesting a tied knot behind the face.

It possesses the unique ability the sense the aura in creatures. Using this it can read their thoughts and determine their movements - despite not being a Psychic Pokémon. It is even capable of understanding human speech. A Lucario will only evolve from a Riolu during the daytime after reaching full happiness.

Although not appearing in the game, Lucario is mentioned in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon as the greatest rescue leader of all time, specifically by Alakazam who wants to reach the same level of greatness. By earning 15,000 Rescue Points, the player will be gifted a Lucario statue for reaching the top rank.
