Lucas (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)

This article is about Lucas' appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. For other uses, see Lucas.

“	Like Ness, Lucas is a young boy who uses PSI powers. Some of their PSI moves share the same names, but since Lucas has different abilities, the moves may work differently. Be sure to try them out! For his Final Smash, he calls down a shower of meteors along with Kumatora and Boney.	”
