The Pokemon Company and developer Game Freak announced a new evolution for Pokemon Legends: Z-A DLC “Mega Dimensions.”
The new mega-evolved Pokemon, Mega Lucario Z, is coming in the new expansion coming on December 10th. This is actually the second mega-evolution for Lucario.
Here’s a rundown on the new details, plus some new trailers:
Mega Lucario Z
A newly discovered form of Lucario, Mega Lucario Z was determined to be a Mega Evolution based on how its form changes through exposure to a Mega Stone and its increase in power far outshining that of an average Lucario.
The long fur around Mega Lucario Z’s head and waist, as well as its fan-shaped tail, make it difficult to get a full view of Mega Lucario Z’s powerful movements. In close combat, this can work to visually disorient opponents. Areas of its body, such as the backs of its hands and its shins, have been hardened with steel energy – allowing it to deliver powerful blows by concentrating its strength precisely into these hardened parts.
- Category: Aura Pokémon
- Type: Fighting/Steel
- Height: 4’3″ (1.3 m)
- Weight: 108.9 lbs. (49.4 kg)
Z Mega Evolutions, such as Mega Lucario Z, need less time to fire off moves but burn through Mega Power very quickly, making them less suited for long battles but a good option when trying to settle matches as fast as possible.
While Mega Lucario, the Mega Evolution of Lucario, appears in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the newly discovered Mega Lucario Z will appear in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension.
Extra Side Mission Now Available
Starting today, Trainers can receive a Mewtwonite X stone and a Mewtwonite Y stone through the Mystery Gift feature in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. Once the player receives the Mewtwonite X and Mewtwonite Y stones, Mewtwo’s extra side mission will become available. It appears heading to Lysandre Café and venturing into the deepest areas of Lysandre Labs may cause some systems to reactivate in response to the Mega Stones, and beating this side mission will allow you to add the Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo your team.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A has been available since October 2025 worldwide for both Switch and Switch 2. Get our review here!
