Pokédex entries

What each game says about it, in the games' own words.

Diamond	It has the ability to sense the auras of all things. It understands human speech.
Pearl / X / Omega Ruby	By catching the aura emanating from others, it can read their thoughts and movements.
Platinum / Black / White	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 2 / White 2 / Y / Alpha Sapphire	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.
