Bold claim: a new era of Mega Lucario arrives with a second Mega Evolution in Mega Dimension DLC—and yes, it’s official. Lucario now gains a second Mega form, expanding the franchise’s approach to Mega Evolutions beyond the original single release.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A has just confirmed Mega Lucario Z as part of the upcoming Mega Dimension DLC. This marks Lucario’s second Mega Evolution, adopting the familiar “Z” suffix that signals a follow-up form, much like Charizard received Charizardite X and Charizardite Y in earlier games. The design for Mega Lucario Z leans into a predominantly blue aesthetic with yellow accents and red highlights, distinguishing it from its first Mega form while preserving Lucario’s iconic silhouette.
While Mega Lucario Z maintains Fighting/Steel typing, it appears to carry forward the same core stats framework as the original Mega Lucario. The inspiration behind the look draws from the game’s broader color palette, including nods to the color schemes seen in its Shiny variant, though it isn’t a simple color inversion.
Trailer insights and gameplay notes indicate Mega Lucario Z will be one of several exclusive Mega Evolutions tied to the Mega Dimension DLC, which is introduced as Hoopa opens an inter-dimensional portal to a realm populated with new Megas. Gameplay shifts center on this dimensional journey, expanding the Mega Evolution experience that players encounter in Lumiose City and beyond.
Exclusive Megas teased for Mega Dimension DLC include:
- Mega Raichu X
- Mega Raichu Y
- Mega Chimecho
- Mega Absol Z
- Mega Garchomp Z
- Mega Lucario Z
- Mega Meowstic
- Mega Golurk
- Mega Carbominable
- Mega Golisopod
- Mega Magearna
- Mega Scovillain
- Mega Glimmora
- Mega Tatsugiri
- Mega Baxcalibur
- Mega Zeraora
As new Megas land in this expansion, players can anticipate fresh battle strategies and team-building possibilities, expanding the ways to leverage Mega Evolutions in diverse combat scenarios. With Hoopa’s inter-dimensional portal unlocking these options, the Mega Dimension DLC promises both a narrative and mechanical expansion for fans seeking deeper customization and strategy.
