Trivia[]

This move seems to be based on the Hadōken (Japanese for "wave motion fist") from the Street Fighter series, both typically being blue spheres of energy and even having similar names in Japanese.
- When Lucario performs this move, it does so using a similar striking pose to that of the characters from Street Fighter when they are performing the Hadōken.
This move is performed similarly to the Kamehameha move from Dragon Ball.
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Riolu are able to learn Aura Sphere by leveling up. This may mean that Riolu lost the means of wielding Aura Sphere into the current timeline.
