There's the classic gift of Bone Rush golf but if you see other things like Maylene spinning the bone to block attacks or Korrina's using the bones to pin down Blaziken.
The sad is that Ash's Lucario had something semi-unique and interesting with Steel Beam that you could argue even synergized with Reversal but got replaced by Bullet Punch.
Double Team was a total waste of moveslot. It's cool on Greninja because, well, it's a ninja. Here is just out of place.
As you also mentioned, the bad animation does not help the matter either. All those other Lucarios felt really agile. Quick. Mobile. Theyr hits and attacks had OOMPF, Ash's just felt lethargic and slow.
The funniest thing is that you don't even have go look at the other series. On PM itself Ash's Lucario looks boring to the Lucarios that appeared on it.
Just compare Korrina's Lucario when she fought Ash. There's been not a single time Ash's Lucario ever looked that cool.
