Didn’t he have like 3 other chances to catch a Riolu before Journeys even started. Again am so annoyed that they gave fans what they wanted super late and it was the newer fans that mainly got to enjoy it.
I always wanted ash to have a lucario, him owning a mega lucario thanks to Korrina reminds me of the games where Korrina gives you a mega lucario. It was a dream come true
Lucario's battle with Bea's Machamp is one of my favorites. Gigantamax vs mega evolution is awesome, especially when Machamp took a point-blank Aura Sphere to the face
That fight with Garchomp was a grudge fight. They weren’t even bothering to dodge anymore. I was getting the same chills from Piccolo vs Android 17 with those back to back blows
I so badly wanted to love Ash's Lucario... but... I just hoped for so much more from his storyline, you know? I thought he was great as a Riolu, even if he wasn't given the best storyline ever. But then I just didn't care for him after he evolved. Honestly my favourite part of his character was that he showed us that Greninja's Bond Phenomenon was somewhat linked to Aura, which was awesome to me. And Lucario did a great job VS Cynthia. But yeah... I still hoped for more haha, after being so hyped about the concept of Ash catching a Lucario for over a decade!
Born basically a year ago (cause that's a good estimate of how long ash trained them in journeys) but defeats a lifelong partner Garchomp (a point the anime purposely highlights with the flashbacks as a gible when cynthia was a kid) but gets taken down by dragapult okay. Plot Armor Thanks.
@@WhatDoesntkillYa you don't know what plot armor means....you know what I will tell you what plot armor means. Plot armor is when the odds are stacked against the character the story revolves around, and they overcome for seemingly no (or very little, often poorly thought out) reason when they shouldn’t have. Ash didn't have the stakes against him Heck if you're going to talk about nerfs then, the fact that there was a rule in the M8 to only be allowed to use one gimmick per match, when Ash is literally THE only champion to have even more than one gimmick at all besides Cynthia, means Ash was NERFED for the whole thing before Leon. So no ash didn't have plot armor at all
I actually really liked the idea of Aura having similar properties to the Bond Phenomenon. Not only because we got to see Greninja again but also because it just makes sense with how both have the ability to connect to their trainer and augment their power.
While I wholeheartedly agree the story arc and some of the battles Ash’s Lucario were too predictable like many have mentioned in the comments, I loved Ash’s Lucario and the remaining members of the Journeys team despite the flaws that the series had. Not to mention that I also loved the idea of Aura having properties that are identical to Bond Phenomenon considering the Bond Phenomenon was one of the aspects that I liked a lot during the XY era. Makes sense considering how both Greninja and Lucario had similar abilities connecting with their respective trainers and augmenting their own power. I would love for that idea to be more experimental with characters aside from the protagonists such as rivals/champions in order to stand out as characters in their own respective ways please. 😁🥹 #pokemon
My only gripe with Lucario, and Ash’s journey’s team as a whole, is that we didn’t get many episodes showing their full personalities, especially after evolving.
That's very true that Ash's Journeys team didn't necessarily have the most fleshed out personalities, but besides being focused on his battles primarily, I think the main reason why they got less personality is because they had Goh as a secondary protagonist. It's for this reason that they didn't get as much development, in my opinion, because with them splitting the story between having 2 main characters they couldn't afford to devote as much time to the personalities of Ash's Pokemon in a series were he was aiming to reach the title of strongest trainer.
I personally loved Ash’s Journeys Team but I definitely had the same gripe like you mentioned in the comment. It is self-explanatory and I wholeheartedly agree they were more battle-oriented in comparison to Ash’s other teams alongside the lack of personalities they had. I don’t hate Galar at all or dislike it at all but I wished they showed more Galar representation in terms of the Pokémon and the characters because I entirely think that everyone can unanimously agree that they got shafted hard. 😬😰
We all wish that Lucario was caught back in Diamond and Pearl, but hey we waited long enough for it and Dragonite, and they delivered some of my favorite Ash Pokémon ever in terms of fun personality, good stories and overall just amazing battlers.
My theory is that this lucario is the reincarnation of the same one from the movie, and ash is the reincarnation of sir aaron and the reason riolu's egg didn't hatch until ash found It was because it was waiting for someone whose aura was similar to sir Aarons.
His Journey's team was so awesome. A loyal knight, goofy fossil, humorous ghost, god level electric mouse, hug friendly dragon and a battle hungry aura Pokemon
Lucario was indeed one of the best and strongest Pokemon Ash had. And his Performance in the Masters 8 against Cynthia and Leon were Amazing. Only thing i found a bummer was that Cynthia didnt used her Lucario (which i 100% certain she had against Ash). At that point She was the best ranked Lucario trainer in the Pokemon world. Could had been interesting for Lucario to test his Power to the Fullest against the best ranked Lucario in the Tournament and in the World
Lucario was certainly a top tier battler for Ash and held the honor of becoming his first mega evolved Pokémon. Though feel there could’ve been a bit more with the relationship between Lucario and Greninja, along with Lucario possibly having infernape be a sparring partner as both overcame much in their respective journeys.
The most anticipated capture in history and well worth the wait. I will admit... While his battles against Volkner and Cynthia were epic (I especially loved it when a Lucario and Luxray finally met in combat)... I just found Lucario's story, especially after he evolved a little too predictable. Meeting Greninja... Saw it coming, along with the Giant Aura Sphere... His key wins in major battles and becoming the Ace... He was Greninja 2.0 in a sense. While there were some unpredictable moments, I wish there were more... I did find his friendship/"Bro-Mance" with Cinderace both cute and hilarious. Overall, Lucario's character was great, but his story arc upon evolving could have been a little better... However, that can't take away from how awesome he was.
Remember, it took us 15 years. *15 years,* since Lucario's official reveal in the 8th movie (in 2005) until Ash's Riolu evolved into Lucario in 2020 Also, Lucario was a very popular Pokemon all star so much that I used an Alpha Lucario for my team in Pokemon Legends: Arceus and one caught in the wild in Pokemon Violet

@@WhatDoesntkillYa To be fair, they did have to give Ash's other pokemon more spotlight given the amount of spotlight Ash's Lucario had against Cynthia and for most of the series frankly.
The fact Lucario overpowered a dynamaxed super bulky fairy/flying type with a fighting type move is the most impressive thing it did in my opinion. Togekiss is 4x resistant to fighting and still took massive damage from aura sphere while in dynamaxed form.
I’ve always said there’s two types of signature pokemon! There’s your buddy pokemon and your ace pokemon! Your buddy pokemon is the pokemon that’s like super cute friendly or is just your emotional support animal in a way. Your ace pokemon is your pokemon you constantly use in Battle. Pikachu is definitely ash’s main buddy pokemon but still an ace in its own right! Ash’s ace’s are definitely Charizard, Sceptile, Greninja, Gengar, Dragonite, and Lucario.
Don't forget Snorlax, he is the only Pokemon who don't go down without taking one or two Pokemon down with him. Infact, he only lost to three Pokemon in his entire battle career
The moment Ash’s Lucario won against Cynthia’s Garchomp and Dynamax Togekiss, it cemented its place in Ash’s Ace Team along with Pikachu, Charizard, Sceptile, Infernape, and Greninja.
I love that ash had a lucario and the fact that it was his regional ace in journeys also one of the best things was that lucario was able to meet greninja and defeating the sinnoh champion cynthia all of those were highlights for me in Pokémon journeys saga. Kinda wasn’t expecting him not to show up in aim to be a Pokémon master though!
Yeah he had a lot of screen time in journeys . Made sense that aim to be a pokemon master didnt show ashs lucario but it was most likely chilling at oaks lab with all of ashs other pokemon
I'm very surprised that this Lucario isn't the same one from the Pokemon movie just reincarnated. The writer's could've easily said that Ash's Lucario is the chosen one reincarnated
Seeing Lucario get its moment to shine as the last pokemon remaining against Cynthia, the Sphere-Stream struggle vs Dynamax Togekiss is an iconic moment to me and the music from the sub version just took the scene to 11/10. Defeating Cynthia's Garchomp is still the best accomplishment though, I agree.
Seeing the sponsor of the video made me chuckle. I love that ash finally got a Lucario and finally got to mega evolve i just wish it didn't take so long

Every ash journey throughout the episodes and season it was a dream come true that ash finally get a lucario, oh how much i really hoping for ash to finally get his own lucario eversince the movie and diamond and pearl season 😭 there's so many chances but hay he finally have one in journeys.
@professorAlexSilver i appreciate all that you do, as i day 1 fan, you really carry that professor title well.. Lucario is 1 of my favorites in all of pokemon. I actually love the fact Ash finally got 1 for himself, and that they connect so deeply..definitely a dream come true.. Thank you for your analysis..and im waiting on my starter pokemon from you, lol peace
Request: history of ash,s talonflame. Or history of kiawe,s charizard. Seeing ash,s lucario true potential made me love lucario even more! (Since it’s one of my favorite Pokémon and mains in smash bros) lucario, you did well at becoming the next ash Greninja.
We need Ash’s Mega Lucario vs Mewtwo. Crazy how he took down Cynthia’s Garchomp even though it would’ve been cooler to see Mega Lucario vs Mega Garchomp.
13:33 My personal headcanon is that Ash's Lucario is the reincarnation of the one from the movie, and that being the reason it didn't hatch until it sensed Ash, who is stated to have identical aura to Sir Aaron.
Ash's Lucario is also possibly right next to Pikachu for having been affected with a history of status ailment effects; Confused, Poison, & Paralyzed (THREE TIMES!!!!)
Man, I really like how Ash got Lucario to Mega Evolve. But they still gave it a big fail against Cynthia against Mega Garchomp. To be honest, I wanted to actually see another Ash vs Korrina rematch but Mega Lucario vs Mega Lucario. Okay so you came down here, congrats. I wish journeys gave us more backstory episodes like Cynthia for example. We see she got Garchomp as an egg but a big mystery is where did she get the Key Stone and Mega Stone? From Sycamore as an adult? Kalos Adventure with Diantha to get one? Journeys missed SO many opportunites.
Man riolu needed a Infernape level long development arc, ash having aura and teasing them together multiple times only to not give him a riolu/lucario was evil, then it finally happened in the most awkward time of the series
Lucario the Goat. Hope to see Ash return sometime in Pokemon Horizons as a mentor for Liko and Roy. Kinda glad he caught Lucario in Journeys because I feel there wouldn't be as big of a focus on Aura and Mega Evolution didn't exist during Diamond and Pearl. He's worthy as Greninja's spiritual successor but Greninja is still on top behind Pikachu of course
Ash finally caught a Lucario and it beat Cynthia’s Garchomp! Let me repeat that: It beat Cynthia’s Garchomp! Btw, thank you for this history, Professor! :)
Unrelated but I think it’s a bit sad Ash finally won the World Tournament with only new Pokemons. I would have loved to see his old pokemons make a return, and finally get the victory they deserved. It could be like a “best of all” team with Charizard, Snorlax and Sceptile for example. It’s fair to have new Pokemons of course, but I would have preferred a nice mix of old and new. I didn’t see all the tournament though so I may be wrong
I like lucario but did take a lot of screen time from his other Pokémon but still had training being humbled by legendaries and greninja becoming stronger
Ash’s pignite next it doesn’t get as much love compared to charizard or infernape being a copy of them but was a powerhouse defeating it’s evolve form a pseudo legendary and threw a giant golurk
I still keep thinking ask Lucario should had these specific move set. 1: Auro Sphere 2: Bone Rush 3: Meter Mash 4: Counter or Drain Punch or Extreme Speed
When i think about lucario in the games and anime I think people are actually enjoying the aura Pokémon because how high is attack can go to be honest I wish that you could actually beat Cynthia against her garchomp vs your lucario but the anime make it really possible. ✌️
I was glad that Ash got a Lucario. Ash was destined to have one. It's battled against 4 legendaries. I wish it could've batttled & beaten a legendary pokemon. I'd have love to have seen Mega Lucario vs Urshifu & also Mega Lucario vs Zeraora. those would've been great. I wish we could've seen a battle between Mega Garchomp & Mega Lucario. I wish Lucario could've battled & beaten Leon's G-MAX Cinderace instead of pikachu. A G-MAX Aura Sphere vs a G-MAX Fireball would've been so good!! I wish it could've also learned Counter & Bone Rush to replace Double Team. Bone Rush could've helped protect itself from fire type attacks. Like Greninja, it fell to a Fire type attack from Leon's Dragapult. I think Sirfetch'd should've been the one to take down Mr. Rime. that's how I felt when I watched the battle. And I agree with you on Ash should've gotten one in Sinnoh, but he's got Lucario now, & that's all that matters.
I think Ash’s Lucario is one of his Strongest Pokemon but you forgot he got one more battle at the end of The last episode of Journeys we’re he got to battle a random trainer’s Lapras so Lucario would have 16 Wins 7 losses and 2 Ties and he will now have 64% win rate and I agree their should’ve made it have a Connection to Sir Auron’s Lucario from the movie and Do Ash’s Lycanroc next.
You know what grinding my gear? It said that lucario got "bond phenomena" Just like greninja, but ash never taking damage from every damage lucario takes
Lucario is my favorite so I was so pleased when ash caught one I like its one of ash's strongest pokemon but I'm still wondering if greninja is still stronger but I can easily say it's probably strong enough to rival infernape and charizard
How I’ve waited for this one! After the likes is Pikachu, Greninja and Infernape, Lucario is undoubtedly one of, if not Ash’s best ace. Yeah, I said it. He’s that good and I’m so happy Ash finally got one
From Lucario and Mystery of Mew to the Episode of DP is hard to believe there a deep connection Because Movie it stated Ash has Power of Aura Which became What led the creators Had Made Lucario on Ash team In Journeys Because It was meant to be That moment
You know when I first saw Ash’s Lucario Mega Evolve I was expecting for it to loose control of itself and go completely insane much like Korrina’s Lucario but I guess I had my expectations too high 🤔
It's a real shame that the Aim to be a Pokemon Master special didn't feature: Muk, Tauros, Quilava, Totodile, Noctowl, Torkoal, Glalie, Staraptor, Gliscor, Gible, Unfezant, Pignite, Scraggy, Palpitoed, Boldore, Krookodile, Lycanroc, Melmetal, Lucario and Dracovish were not shown in Ash's Rotation or give Primeape and Greninja a chance to rejoin Ash like Pidgeot and have Misty meet and interact with Dawn for the first time as well as Iris (along with Brock), as well as Misty and Brock meet and interact with Serena, Clemont and Bonnie the first time too. considering that this speical was just 11 Episodes, the writers of the anime really should've thought've more episode ideas then just limited 11,
Should have Ash caught a Riolu in Diamond and Perl? Probably. But it would have had to be a different one mainly because the one Ash, Gary, Brock and Dawn were trying to save was off the table.
Lucario was my cousin and I favorite pokemon in the series and we beg to get something that includes Lucario like Pokemon cards, Pokemon games playing Lucario, and cheering for Lucario. 😊
Professor make a video on Pokemons Which looks to be one type but in real are of different types Like dunsparce who is a Normal type but looks like bug Like

13:33 My personal headcanon is that Ash's Lucario is the reincarnation of the one from the movie, and that being the reason it didn't hatch until it sensed Ash, who is stated to have identical aura to Sir Aaron.
Agreed!
You know what would've happened if lucario was caught in diamond and Pearl?
Infernape's spotlight would've been taken away... AND WE CAN'T HAVE THAT
Lucario proved it can't fall down without a fight
Ash's Lucario is also possibly right next to Pikachu for having been affected with a history of status ailment effects; Confused, Poison, & Paralyzed (THREE TIMES!!!!)
Ash’s Lucario is one of my favorite Pokémon tbh good vid! 😁👍
I was really happy when it finally defeated Cynthia's Garchomp
@@SoraFan23 yea same
Thanks!
Actually, Lucario didn’t flinch at all thanks to its Inner Focus ability.
Man, I really like how Ash got Lucario to Mega Evolve.
But they still gave it a big fail against Cynthia against Mega Garchomp. To be honest, I wanted to actually see another Ash vs Korrina rematch but Mega Lucario vs Mega Lucario.
Okay so you came down here, congrats. I wish journeys gave us more backstory episodes like Cynthia for example. We see she got Garchomp as an egg but a big mystery is where did she get the Key Stone and Mega Stone? From Sycamore as an adult? Kalos Adventure with Diantha to get one? Journeys missed SO many opportunites.
Lucario can’t flinch it is confirmed that it has inner focus as it’s ability
Ash's Lucario is amazing plus his mega looks awesome
My favorite of Ash's Pokémon, no bias whatsoever :)
I can tell by your username haha
Man riolu needed a Infernape level long development arc, ash having aura and teasing them together multiple times only to not give him a riolu/lucario was evil, then it finally happened in the most awkward time of the series
Lucario the Goat. Hope to see Ash return sometime in Pokemon Horizons as a mentor for Liko and Roy. Kinda glad he caught Lucario in Journeys because I feel there wouldn't be as big of a focus on Aura and Mega Evolution didn't exist during Diamond and Pearl. He's worthy as Greninja's spiritual successor but Greninja is still on top behind Pikachu of course
I'm hoping for a comeback as well :)
Lucario is such a powerhouse. Its moveset and mega evolution.
I think aura should be a type for a Pokémon
Ash finally caught a Lucario and it beat Cynthia’s Garchomp! Let me repeat that: It beat Cynthia’s Garchomp! Btw, thank you for this history, Professor! :)
what a fitting sponsorship
Ash's Lucario was pretty much the David to Bea, Raihan, and Cynthia's G-Max Goliaths.
I'm glad he finally got one and I do miss it.
Hopefully we get a comeback
@@ProfessorAlexSilver Hopefully in a future episode or a movie.
My favorite fighting type because of the anime mad x and y
Unrelated but I think it’s a bit sad Ash finally won the World Tournament with only new Pokemons. I would have loved to see his old pokemons make a return, and finally get the victory they deserved. It could be like a “best of all” team with Charizard, Snorlax and Sceptile for example. It’s fair to have new Pokemons of course, but I would have preferred a nice mix of old and new. I didn’t see all the tournament though so I may be wrong
Here’s one.. The History of Raihans Flygon
I like lucario but did take a lot of screen time from his other Pokémon but still had training being humbled by legendaries and greninja becoming stronger
Lucario is my favorite fighting type Pokemon!
Great choice :)
Best sponsor transition ever
My work here is done :)
I'm so that had Greninja, Lucario and Charizard because those in general my 3 favorite pokemon ever as they are such cool pokemon
I think Dawn’s Buneary has waited long enough for her “walk on the runway”.
Some day (hopefully) :)
Ash’s pignite next it doesn’t get as much love compared to charizard or infernape being a copy of them but was a powerhouse defeating it’s evolve form a pseudo legendary and threw a giant golurk
I still keep thinking ask Lucario should had these specific move set.
1: Auro Sphere
2: Bone Rush
3: Meter Mash
4: Counter or Drain Punch or Extreme Speed
Still waiting on Leavanny. ❤❤❤
When i think about lucario in the games and anime I think people are actually enjoying the aura Pokémon because how high is attack can go to be honest I wish that you could actually beat Cynthia against her garchomp vs your lucario but the anime make it really possible. ✌️
What I like most is the mystical nature of aura, there's so much untapped potential in the mythology
Better late than never, Ashs Lucario was worth the wait. I do agree that it's story was far too similar to Greninja
Absolutely perfect sponsor
Lucario does have a similar storyline to Greninja. A bit TOO similar.
Lucario: KAMEHAMEHA!!!
Perfect birthday gift ty Prof Silver
I had to say,Ash definitely deserves a Lucario in his team🙂😌
I agree :)
I was glad that Ash got a Lucario. Ash was destined to have one. It's battled against 4 legendaries. I wish it could've batttled & beaten a legendary pokemon. I'd have love to have seen Mega Lucario vs Urshifu & also Mega Lucario vs Zeraora. those would've been great. I wish we could've seen a battle between Mega Garchomp & Mega Lucario. I wish Lucario could've battled & beaten Leon's G-MAX Cinderace instead of pikachu. A G-MAX Aura Sphere vs a G-MAX Fireball would've been so good!! I wish it could've also learned Counter & Bone Rush to replace Double Team. Bone Rush could've helped protect itself from fire type attacks. Like Greninja, it fell to a Fire type attack from Leon's Dragapult. I think Sirfetch'd should've been the one to take down Mr. Rime. that's how I felt when I watched the battle. And I agree with you on Ash should've gotten one in Sinnoh, but he's got Lucario now, & that's all that matters.
Your sponsor knew what they were doing
Ash’s Pikachu Johto or Journeys
On the list!
I think Ash’s Lucario is one of his Strongest Pokemon but you forgot he got one more battle at the end of The last episode of Journeys we’re he got to battle a random trainer’s Lapras so Lucario would have 16 Wins 7 losses and 2 Ties and he will now have 64% win rate and I agree their should’ve made it have a Connection to Sir Auron’s Lucario from the movie and Do Ash’s Lycanroc next.
You know what grinding my gear? It said that lucario got "bond phenomena" Just like greninja, but ash never taking damage from every damage lucario takes
Lucario is my favorite so I was so pleased when ash caught one I like its one of ash's strongest pokemon but I'm still wondering if greninja is still stronger but I can easily say it's probably strong enough to rival infernape and charizard
Mewtwo:i'm the strongest pokemon
Arceus:am i a joke to you
I was waiting forever for Ash to get a Lucario.
You and me both, I never thought it'd happen
How I’ve waited for this one! After the likes is Pikachu, Greninja and Infernape, Lucario is undoubtedly one of, if not Ash’s best ace. Yeah, I said it. He’s that good and I’m so happy Ash finally got one
From Lucario and Mystery of Mew to the Episode of DP is hard to believe there a deep connection Because Movie it stated Ash has Power of Aura Which became What led the creators Had Made Lucario on Ash team In Journeys Because It was meant to be That moment
The history of ash’s scraggy
You know when I first saw Ash’s Lucario Mega Evolve I was expecting for it to loose control of itself and go completely insane much like Korrina’s Lucario but I guess I had my expectations too high 🤔
You should do ashs torterra next
It's a real shame that the Aim to be a Pokemon Master special didn't feature: Muk, Tauros, Quilava, Totodile, Noctowl, Torkoal, Glalie, Staraptor, Gliscor, Gible, Unfezant, Pignite, Scraggy, Palpitoed, Boldore, Krookodile, Lycanroc, Melmetal, Lucario and Dracovish were not shown in Ash's Rotation or give Primeape and Greninja a chance to rejoin Ash like Pidgeot and have Misty meet and interact with Dawn for the first time as well as Iris (along with Brock), as well as Misty and Brock meet and interact with Serena, Clemont and Bonnie the first time too. considering that this speical was just 11 Episodes, the writers of the anime really should've thought've more episode ideas then just limited 11,
Riolu was my favorite pokemon but when evolving into lucario it became a total pro
Thanks for the amazing video Professor Alex ❤
My pleasure! More to come :)
3:39
Please correct me if I'm wrong...
Lucario used reversal, not revenge vs fan-rotom.
That was an error, hope you enjoyed the rest!
I still want James and mareanie I won’t stop.
That was a slick transition into a sponsor ad
Much appreciated XD
The history of ash’s lycanroc and his melmetal
Should have Ash caught a Riolu in Diamond and Perl? Probably. But it would have had to be a different one mainly because the one Ash, Gary, Brock and Dawn were trying to save was off the table.
Always more Riolu in the sea I suppose XD
Lucario was my cousin and I favorite pokemon in the series and we beg to get something that includes Lucario like Pokemon cards, Pokemon games playing Lucario, and cheering for Lucario. 😊
Must be a super smash fan :P
Here's a juicy one: the history of ash's hawlucha.
Professor make a video on Pokemons
Which looks to be one type but in real are of different types
Like dunsparce who is a Normal type but looks like bug
Like
That could be fun!
Mega Lucario is so cool! 🔥
100%!!!
The muscle powered doggo. 💪
