'''Aura Sphere''' (Japanese: '''はどうだん''' ''Wave Bomb''<!--Do not change. Please discuss alternate translations.-->) is a damage-dealing {{type|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It was [[TR56]] in [[Generation VIII]], and is [[TM112]] in [[Generation IX]].


==Effect==
==Effect==
Aura Sphere inflicts damage and is unaffected by modifications to the {{stat|Accuracy}} stat and {{stat|Evasion}} stat. It will not hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of moves such as {{m|Dig}} and {{m|Fly}}.
===Generations IV and V===
Aura Sphere inflicts damage and bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. It can hit non-adjacent targets in [[Triple Battle]]s.
 
===Generation VI onward===
Aura Sphere's power is changed from 90 to 80. Additionally, its power is boosted by 50% if the user has {{a|Mega Launcher}}, and Pokémon with {{a|Bulletproof}} are immune to it.
 
===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
Aura Sphere's PP has been reduced to 10.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Its appearance, description, and typing closely resemble the {{wp|Hadouken}} technique from {{wp|Street Fighter}} and loosely resemble the Kamehameha from the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} series as Kamehameha is a wave-type move while Hadouken and Aura Sphere are spherical moves.
* Aura Sphere bears resemblances both in visuals and in its Japanese name (はどうだん ''Hadōdan'') to the {{wp|Hadouken}} attack in the ''{{wp|Street Fighter}}'' video game series.
* {{p|Lucario}} and {{p|Togekiss}} are the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] that can learn Aura Sphere by level up.
* In [[Pokémon X and Y]], a camera clipping glitch occurs when the {{player}} uses Aura Sphere against some of [[Drasna]]'s Pokémon.
* The [[Mew (movie 1)|Mew]]  from ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' seemed to be able to use Aura Sphere, though this may have been merely a deflection of {{an|Mewtwo}}'s attack; it's also likely that it was {{m|Shadow Ball}}, the same move Mewtwo was using.
*: {{youtubevid|Jh8ShTdJzQ4|channel/UC1IlrFYOMlkHNA4NAgphqQw|name=GlitchyGarchomp|fighting|dragon}}
* The booster pack of Legends Awakened has a Lucario using Aura Sphere. However, this Aura Sphere was a more greenish shade of color, while the anime always shows Lucario making a blue Aura Sphere.
* Aura Sphere is the most recognized move that {{p|Lucario}} [[signature move|uses]] and the most recognized move that uses [[aura]].
* {{p|Lucario}} and {{p|Riolu}} are the only {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon that can use Aura Sphere, and therefore, they are the only Pokémon that get a [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] boost with it, but, since only an event {{p|Riolu}} can learn it, {{p|Lucario}} is the only readily available in-game Pokémon that gets a STAB boost from Aura Sphere.
* Of all the moves which cannot miss, Aura Sphere has the greatest base power.
* In the anime, the color of Aura Sphere appears to match the color of the Pokémon using it. {{p|Lucario}} and {{p|Riolu}} have a blue one, while {{p|Palkia}} has a pink one. Whether this applies to other Pokémon that can use it is currently unknown.

Aura Sphere (Japanese: はどうだん Wave Bomb) is a damage-dealing Fighting-type move introduced in Generation IV. It was TR56 in Generation VIII, and is TM112 in Generation IX.

Effect

Generations IV and V

Aura Sphere inflicts damage and bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. It can hit non-adjacent targets in Triple Battles.

Generation VI onward

Aura Sphere's power is changed from 90 to 80. Additionally, its power is boosted by 50% if the user has Mega Launcher, and Pokémon with Bulletproof are immune to it.

Generation VIII

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Aura Sphere's PP has been reduced to 10.

Trivia

  • In Pokémon X and Y, a camera clipping glitch occurs when the player uses Aura Sphere against some of Drasna's Pokémon.
