Beyond the Ball 176 - Lucario

It's time to learn all about Lucario and the incredible power of Aura! Finally a Pokemon that DBZ fans can get behind! Buckle up because we've got a lot of entries and a lot of theories about the humanity of Pokemon to interrogate. Follow along with the entries below:

Diamond: It has the ability to sense the auras of all things. It understands human speech.

Pearl: By catching the aura emanating from others, it can read their thoughts and movements.

Platinum: A well-trained one can sense auras to identify and take in the feelings of creatures over half a mile away.

HeartGold & SoulSilver: It’s said that no foe can remain invisible to LUCARIO, since it can detect auras. Even foes it could not otherwise see.

Black & White 2: By reading the auras of all things, it can tell how others are feeling from over half a mile away.

Sun: Not only does it perceive auras, but it has also gained the power to control them. It employs them in battle.

Moon: They can detect the species of a living being— and its emotions—from over half a mile away. They control auras and hunt their prey in packs.

Ultra Sun: It concentrates its mental energy and fires off mysterious waves called auras, which can crush boulders of large size to dust.

Ultra Moon: Lucario reads its opponent’s feelings with its aura waves. It finds out things it would rather not know, so it gets stressed out easily.

Sword: It controls waves known as auras, which are powerful enough to pulverize huge rocks. It uses these waves to take down its prey.

Shield: It can tell what people are thinking. Only Trainers who have justice in their hearts can earn this Pokémon’s trust.

Legends: Arceus: A most gallant-looking creature. It emits energy waves and controls them with precision, using them to sense even faraway beings. I have given the name “aura” to this power.

BTB: Lucario can vibe with literally everything, including your unwanted emotional baggage. So maybe give it some space unless you really love justice.

Mega Lucario

Sun: Black streaks all over its body show where its auras and the energy of Mega Evolution intermingled and raced through it.

Moon: It readies itself to face its enemies by focusing its mental energies. Its fighting style can be summed up in a single word: heartless.

Ultra Sun: Its aura has expanded due to Mega Evolution. Governed only by its combative instincts, it strikes enemies without mercy.

Ultra Moon: Bathed in explosive energy, its combative instincts have awakened. For its enemies, it has no mercy whatsoever.
