Hrrm. Well, to be perfectly honest, I don’t think Lucario particularly needs all that much more in the way of uniqueness. Aura Sphere is already a very rare and unusual thing, and makes Lucario one of only five non-legendary Pokémon in the game with a good Fighting-type special attack (no, Focus Miss does not count), and one of only two to get the same-type attack bonus for it. He has a type combination shared only with Cobalion, and his Mega form already has an amazing ability. From the other side, well, I don’t really know anything about Super Smash Bros., but Pokémon already has techniques that get stronger when you take damage – Reversal, Flail, Endeavour – which are fairly widely distributed. In fact, Riolu (and by extension Lucario) actually can learn Reversal, and even gets STAB. Those moves just don’t get used very much – by Lucario, or anyone else – because one-on-one fights in Pokémon, particularly with a relatively fragile character like Lucario, tend to be fairly quick, brutal affairs, and it’s difficult to control how low your health gets. So… eh. I’m not really sold on it.
