Lucario's NEW Mega Evolution?! 'Pokemon Legends' SHOCKS Fans!

Alright, Pokemon fans, buckle up, because the hype train for *Pokemon Legends: Z-A's* "Mega Dimension" DLC just got a serious upgrade! It seems like The Pokemon Company is dropping bombshells left and right, and this one’s a doozy: a *second* Mega Evolution for Lucario. That's right, folks, Mega Lucario Z is coming to town.

Lucario's NEW Mega Evolution?! 'Pokemon Legends' S...

We've already seen glimpses of some seriously cool Mega Evolutions coming in this DLC – I mean, Mega Raichu X and Y? Come on! But this, this is a game-changer. Mega Lucario Z marks the debut of a brand new type of Mega Evolution – the Z Mega Evolution. This sounds like a high-risk, high-reward kind of deal.

According to the official word, these Z Mega Evolutions are all about speed and intensity. Apparently, Pokemon can unleash moves much faster after getting the order, which sounds amazing. However, there's a catch. Mega Power, or Mega Energy, depletes *significantly* faster, making them less suitable for those grueling, drawn-out battles we all know and love (or hate, depending on the day!). So, think glass cannon, but with a Lucario shaped aura.

Like the OG Mega Lucario, Mega Lucario Z keeps its Steel and Fighting typing, so no surprises there. However, the real difference lies in the stat distribution. While regular Mega Lucario is all about that raw, destructive power, Mega Lucario Z is focusing on defense and speed. The website describes it as cloaking itself in its aura to boost its defense, flexibility, and agility. Basically, picture a super-fast, harder-to-hit Lucario. Sounds terrifying, right?

Now, the big question is: how many other Pokemon are going to get this Z Mega Evolution treatment? We already know about Mega Raichu X and Y, plus confirmed Mega Evolutions for Baxcalibur, Chimecho, and even the mythical Zeraora! It's shaping up to be a wild ride through Hyperspace Lumiose, the alternate dimension we'll be exploring in the DLC. I'm personally hoping for a Mega Flygon! (Just putting that out there, TPC.)

Speaking of the DLC, "Mega Dimension" drops on December 10th for $30. And get this, we're talking about wild Pokemon exceeding level 100! Better start grinding those candies now. Oh, and for those of you who enjoy the competitive scene, the third Ranked Battle season is underway until December 17th. Hit Rank S and you'll snag a Mega Stone for Chestnaught. Plus, a new Mystery Gift is live – Mewtwonite X and Y! Grab them to unlock a side quest that leads to a showdown with Mewtwo himself.

This DLC is looking like a must-have for any serious Pokemon fan. And with Z Mega Evolutions shaking things up, it feels like we’re entering a whole new era of strategic battling. December 10th can't come soon enough! (Continue Reading at GameSpot By Kevin Knezevic on December 2, 2025 at 10:40AM PST)
