Meet Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC’s Mega Lucario Z

The Pokémon Company had revealed another new Mega Evolution from Pokémon Legends: Z-A‘s upcoming DLC, Mega Dimension. Mega Lucario Z has appeared! The group also revealed a new extra side mission, allowing players to catch the Legendary Mewtwo.

Mega Lucario Z is a newly discovered form of Lucario. It was determined to be a Mega Evolution because of how its form changes through exposure to a Mega Stone and how its increase in power far outshines your average Lucario. Now, Mega Lucarios are already present in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, but this Mega Lucario Z is new to the DLC. Z Mega Evolutions, such as this one, need less time to fire off moves but burn through Mega Power very quickly. They are a great option when trying to settle matches as soon as possible, but they won’t be helpful in a long battle.

Mega Lucario Z is a Fighting/Steel Aura Pokémon. It’s 1.3 metres tall and weighs less than 50 kilos. The long fur around its head and waist, plus its fan-shaped tail, make it difficult to view its powerful movements. During close combat, this visually disorients opponents. The back of its hands, its shins, and other parts of its body are hardened with steel energy, allowing it to deal powerful blows by focusing its strength on those places.

So what about Mewtwo? Beginning today, players can receive a Mewtwonite X stone and a Mewtwonite Y stone through the game’s Mystery Gift feature. This unlocks an extra side mission, where Mewtwo appears to be heading into the deepest areas of Lysandre Labs and may cause some systems to reactivate in response to the Mega Stones. Beating this side mission adds the Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo to a Trainer’s team.

Developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is available digitally and physically for Switch 2 and Switch. The Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC will be released on December 10 for both platforms.
