| − | Lucario is a [[Canidae|canid]]-like Pokémon that is a bipedal [[digitigrade]] with [[finger]]-like [[Digit (anatomy)|digits]] on its forepaws, while its chest and the exterior of its wrists each feature a single, white spike. It also has a large snout and ears, red irises with vertical slit pupils, thighs shaped like baggy [[shorts]], and four small appendages on the back of its head that are used to sense Aura. The coloration of Lucario's fur is predominantly blue and black, although its torso features [[Buff (colour)|buff]]-colored fur that is slightly shaggier than the rest of its body. Lucario has the ability to sense and manipulate [[Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew#Aura|Aura]], a form of energy emitted by all living things, and is able to understand human speech.<ref name="dexdiamond">{{pokédex|diamond|It has the ability to sense the Auras of all things.

| − | As Mega Lucario, its appearance undergoes a few noticeable changes. Its body gains rigid, black streaks on its arms, legs and face, which are brought about by the energy generated by Mega Evolution intermingling with its Aura, the latter of which is significantly heightened and strongly courses through its body.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Lucario|title=Mega Evolved Pokémon: Mega Lucario}}</ref> The buff-colored fur on its torso becomes shaggier and envelopes its tail, its thighs become slimmer, and its Aura-sensing appendages grow considerably longer. Lucario also gains additional spikes on its torso and forepaws, while its hind paws gain spikes as well. Lastly, each of its paws are colored crimson, while the tips of its Aura-sensing appendages are also tipped in crimson. Although Mega Lucario possesses significantly greater offense and speed, the energy of Mega Evolution also brings about a drastic change to its mentality, as it will face opponents with a heartless fighting style.
