The following are Lucian's different battling teams for the games he appears in.
===Main series===
[[File:Lucian anime.png|thumb|250px|Lucian in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Lucian debuted in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]''. He was first seen battling with his {{p|Girafarig}} on [[television]]. Then, he met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in a [[Pokémon Center]]. He informed them about the {{DL|Pokémon League|Champion League}} and later had a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{an|Dawn}} and her {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}} using his {{p|Bronzong}}. Buizel's attacks didn't have much of an effect, if any, on Bronzong. Following {{m|Gyro Ball}}, Bronzong used {{m|Flash Cannon}} to defeat its opponent. Lucian later had a [[rematch]] against Dawn and Buizel, though he ended the battle prematurely because he saw that the pair had improved, but still needed some work.


===={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}====
He made a brief cameo appearance on television in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]''. He battled {{an|Cynthia}} for her title of [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Sinnoh League]], but was defeated.

Because Buizel didn't listen to Dawn, he quickly lost. Later in the same episode, they had a [[rematch]], and because Buizel was now listening to Dawn, the battle went better. However, Lucian eventually recalled Bronzong, saying that he had just wanted to prove Buizel's potential for becoming strong.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Lucian is the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four whose Pokémon are all of his specialty type, yet he is also the only one who does not have at least one move of his specialty type on each of his Pokémon (all of his Pokémon are part {{type|Psychic}}, yet his {{p|Medicham}} doesn't have any Psychic attacks).
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, as well as the initial Elite Four challenge in {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Lucian is the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four whose Pokémon are all of his specialty type.
* One of the old men on {{Rt|228}} may be Lucian's grandfather as he has a grandson who enjoys reading and a library of books on {{wp|ESP}}.
* One of the old men on {{rt|228|Sinnoh}}, who is found in Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, may be Lucian's grandfather, as he mentions he has a grandson who enjoys reading and who has a library of books on {{wp|Extrasensory perception|ESP}}.
* While Lucian's clothes are colored maroon in his official [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork and the anime, they are colored magenta in his game sprites.
* Two members of the Sinnoh Elite Four, [[Aaron]] and Lucian, share their names with the main characters of Konami's {{wp|Lunar Knights}} for the DS.
* One of the books that Lucian reads in the [[Canalave Library]] is a collection of letters from an artist to his younger brother, one of which confesses the artist's awe for the night sky. This may be a reference to the artist {{wp|Vincent van Gogh}}, who wrote letters to his younger brother Theo and painted ''{{wp|The Starry Night}}''.
* Similar to other Sinnoh Elite Four in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, once the player has entered the hall of fame (but before stark mountain), Lucian's team will update to include the pokemon he uses in Pokemon Platinum, with an Espeon and Gallade replacing his Medicham and Girafarig.

Main series

Lucian in the anime

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

Lucian debuted in An Elite Meet and Greet!. He was first seen battling with his Girafarig on television. Then, he met Ash and his friends in a Pokémon Center. He informed them about the Champion League and later had a battle against Dawn and her Buizel using his Bronzong. Buizel's attacks didn't have much of an effect, if any, on Bronzong. Following Gyro Ball, Bronzong used Flash Cannon to defeat its opponent. Lucian later had a rematch against Dawn and Buizel, though he ended the battle prematurely because he saw that the pair had improved, but still needed some work.

He made a brief cameo appearance on television in Top-Down Training!. He battled Cynthia for her title of Pokémon Champion of the Sinnoh League, but was defeated.

Pokémon movies

He also made a brief cameo appearance in the ending credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Character

Lucian is polite and likes to help out a Trainer. He builds up his defenses and tends to evade an opponent's attacks in an attempt to learn their strategy and exhaust them before striking back.

Pokémon

This listing is of Lucian's known Pokémon in the anime:

On hand

This article is missing information on this character's English voice actor and Japanese voice actor.
You can help by adding this information.


Bronzong
Lucian's Bronzong
Debut An Elite Meet and Greet!
Voice actors
Japanese Unshō Ishizuka
English Billy Beach

Bronzong is Lucian's main Pokémon. The first time he used it was in An Elite Meet and Greet!, where it battled Dawn's newly captured Buizel. Because Buizel didn't listen to Dawn, he quickly lost. Later in the same episode, they had a rematch, and because Buizel was now listening to Dawn, the battle went better. However, Lucian eventually recalled Bronzong, saying that he had just wanted to prove Buizel's potential for becoming strong.

Lucian's match against Cynthia's Garchomp was televised in Top-Down Training!, but the Bronze Bell Pokémon was soon knocked out by the Mach Pokémon's powerful Giga Impact.

Bronzong also appeared alongside Lucian during the credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Bronzong's known moves are Iron Defense, Gyro Ball, and Flash Cannon.

Girafarig
Lucian's Girafarig

Lucian was seen using his Girafarig on television in a battle against a Trainer's Scizor. It was easily able to dodge all of Scizor's Slash attacks and finally knock it out with a single strike, despite the type disadvantage.

Girafarig's only known move is Psybeam.

Temporary
Buizel
Dawn's Buizel
Main article: Dawn's Buizel

When Dawn's newly caught Buizel was being stolen away by Team Rocket, Lucian used him to battle against the thieves, showing Dawn that she could also be able to command the Sea Weasel Pokémon which had been disobeying her during her battle with Lucian. Under Lucian's command, Buizel quickly defeated Jessie's Dustox and James's Carnivine.

Pokémon Adventures

Lucian in Pokémon Adventures

Lucian, along with Bertha and Aaron, appears during the Platinum arc, having been enlisted by the Pokémon Association to decipher Charon's notebook that was stolen by Diamond's Kit. Using his talents in reading books, Lucian is able to easily figure out what the book says and gives it to Diamond and Pearl so they can use it to stop Charon from capturing the Legendary Pokémon of Sinnoh.

In this manga, Lucian's reading skills are shown to be great enough for him to easily finish a book in only a few mere moments.

Trivia

  • In Diamond and Pearl, as well as the initial Elite Four challenge in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Lucian is the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four whose Pokémon are all of his specialty type.
  • One of the old men on Route 228, who is found in Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, may be Lucian's grandfather, as he mentions he has a grandson who enjoys reading and who has a library of books on ESP.
  • While Lucian's clothes are colored maroon in his official Ken Sugimori artwork and the anime, they are colored magenta in his game sprites.
  • Two members of the Sinnoh Elite Four, Aaron and Lucian, share their names with the main characters of Konami's Lunar Knights for the DS.
  • One of the books that Lucian reads in the Canalave Library is a collection of letters from an artist to his younger brother, one of which confesses the artist's awe for the night sky. This may be a reference to the artist Vincent van Gogh, who wrote letters to his younger brother Theo and painted The Starry Night.
  • Similar to other Sinnoh Elite Four in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, once the player has entered the hall of fame (but before stark mountain), Lucian's team will update to include the pokemon he uses in Pokemon Platinum, with an Espeon and Gallade replacing his Medicham and Girafarig.
