The Second Featured Pokemon, LUCARIO
I'm happy to bring you the second official featured Pokemon, Lucario. Lucario is a Fighting-Steel mix, and number 448 in the National Pokedex. Flavor Text: 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. Lucario, as mentioned in the flavor text, is capable of using Aura (the emination of life all creatures give off) to sense Pokemon, feelings, or battle! This gives Lucario the ablity to use Aura Sphere. Aura Sphere is one of the very few Special Fighting attacks, and it NEVER misses. How that for an added bonus? Lucario is one of the few Pokemon that can learn Aura Sphere, and also learns it at an early level. Lucario evolves from Riolu with a high friendship level during the day. Lucario is a sweeper. It's capable of learning a large variety of high power attacks, a great addition to any team. The only down side is Lucario's weaknesses to some common types, which include Fire, Ground, Fighting. This could make it hard to land moves. But for the most part, you'll be fine. Lucario got it's own movie, Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, and a part in the game Super Smash Brothers Brawl, so it's needless to say it's a popular Pokemon. Though it can't live up to Gallade, Lucario is a pretty cool Pokemon.

Featured Pokemon #1, GALLADE
The first featured Pokemon on Galladia is of course Gallade. Gallade is number 475 in the national dex, and a Fighting and Psychic type. Flavor Text: (Diamond and Pearl) A master of courtesy and swordsmanship, it fights using extending swords on its elbows. (Platinum) When protecting someone, it extends its elbows as if they were swords and fights savagely. Gardivoir's physical counter part, Gallade, was introduced in the Diamond and Pearl series. This Pokemon is male-only, and evolves from male Kirlia when exposed to a Dawn Stone. As mentioned, it fights with high attack power using the contracting sword-like extentions from it's elbows. This results in it's ability to use a variety of slash/cut techniques, like Psycho-Cut, Night Slash, Leaf Blade, Fury Cutter, and Slash, all learned normally. Quite the power-house, if I do say so myself. Gallade can be adapted for many stratigies, like Rain Dance Strategies, Trick Room, Sunny Day Strategies, you name it. It is also the only Pokemon capable of learning Hypnosis and False Swipe, making the ultimate Pokemon catching tool. There are many windows of opportunity with Gallade but it's up to you to find the ones that work for you best.
