Talk:Lucario (Pokémon)
Gender?
Well, since the link won't work...one of the new scans has Lucario as being a male Pokemon. -Sketchies 17:42, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Lucario? Rukario?
I see most places refering to this Pokémon as "Rukario", but we're calling it Lucario. Anyone explain the name differences?
Hepburn Romaji has Rukario. The trademark filings and logical thinking (what's Rukario backwards? Orikaru - Oracle) have Lucario. - 刘 (劉) 振霖 10:49, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Hey now that we got the full imaqge up at BMG of Rukario..why don't we upload it here? I'd do it but I don't know how to show an image on here.LedianX 14:59, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Also, if you figure that Rugia -> Lugia, Ratiosu -> Latios, Ratiosu -> Latias, and even Deoxys, chances are Lucario will be the English name. But I fall back on "Lucario" being the spelling applied for trademark. --Meowth346
Wave-Guiding?
Where does this "wave-guiding" species come from? Since day one, I've been translating its species as "Pulse" or "Surge". Is there something I've been missing? --Meowth346
I think this is another blame Serebii.net moment, probably. - Ferret
It has to do with the kanji. Hadou (波動) is indeed "pulse" or "surge" (literally "wave movement"), but the title of the movie, which we assume uses the same word as Rukario's species, has 波導, which is not a word, and the second kanji of which means "guide" or "lead". - Murgatroyd 00:00, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Could Lucario be an evolution of Marowak? I know it may seem nuts as it isn't ground, but maybe this is what an unmasked Marowak looks like. They both center around death, have Bone Rush, and have the same general body shape (though Lucario is snazzier with spikes and all.) --123456789
It is nuts! It's more ridiculuos than the theory of Lotad's lily pad unfolding to reveal a a dinosaur-like head.--Pokencyclopedia 10:55, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Just pick a name and stick with it
Please stop switching the attack name back and forth from 'Feint' to 'Faint'. It's going nowhere - I would encourage that this issue be discussed, rather than people editing back and forth between the two forever. --Pie 13:40, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- It's definitely Feint. It's obvious from the attack description. Just because Faint Attack (which I firmly believe is a misspelling on the part of NoA, the Japanese means surprise attack or sneak attack, feint is a better fit than faint) exists and is similar... - 振霖T 13:54, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- Faint Attack always confused me. I knew the description of the attack was like feint, but the word faint unconsciously makes me think the attacking Pokémon fakes passing out to trick the opponent. --Argy 16:28, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- I always figured it had something to do with the Pokémon vanishing into the shadows, as it seems to do in the animation - basically, its image becomes faint. --Pie 19:18, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, but the attack description on that says, "Draws the foe close, then strikes without fail.", so I really have no idea what the animation is supposed to mean. - 振霖T 06:26, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, in Pokémon Stadium 2, the animation for Faint Attack is merely Double Team plus the user's taunt pose.

Smash Video
Here is a video that I found. I think it's real. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZh2oWZacm4 Cerberus 00:51, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- ...Chyea it's real!User:Pokemaniac102/Sig 00:57, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Cool, it looks like it's Final Smash is an Aura Blast or something....and yea, it's real. User:Theryguy512/Sig 01:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
I think it is Hyper Beam. Cerberus 01:20, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- No, it was defiently something that had to do with Aura. User:Theryguy512/Sig 01:52, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- His final Smash is called Flash Cannon, information received from The Super Mario WikiUser:Pokemaniac102/Sig 02:09, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
B = Aura spire, side B Extreme Speed, Up B High Jump Kick, Down B = Counter and FS = Flash Cannon? Cerberus 02:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

No it has too be Aura Spire. Cerberus 04:07, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Internal data calls it "Wavestorm" and the trophy description confirms that it uses aura. --FabuVinny T-C-S 21:18, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Better then Hyper beam. Cerberus 01:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
A possible mistake.
"This makes it the first non-legendary Pokémon to be in a central role in a Pokémon movie."
If I'm not mistaken, weren't the Unown the central focus of the third movie? I could be wrong about that, so I didn't make any alterations to the line I quoted. Eeveeman133 09:00, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Nah, Entei was. Though... eh, you do have us with that one. I think it's pretty much that before LMM came out everyone figured Lucario was legendary, but with P3 everyone was like "Oh, Entei, we know that's legendary and Unown's that piece of crap that comes in 26 flavors.
