Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s upcoming DLC doesn’t just add new Mega Evolved Pokémon – it introduces an all new type of Mega Evolution with unique mechanics.
Mega Lucario Z Joins Mega Dimension DLC
Mega Lucario Z is introduced as a new form of Mega Evolution in the Mega Dimension DLC. It features visual differences such as a palette swap and an additional braid, distinguishing it from the regular Mega Lucario.
Lucario Introduces A New Form Of Mega Evolution
Lucario is the first Pokémon known to undergo Z Mega Evolution in Mega Dimensions. The article suggests the possibility of it being a unique case or a broader plot point within the DLC, given Lucario's significance in the main story.
How The New Z Mega Evolution Works
Z Mega Evolution alters how Pokémon fight in battle, focusing on different stats compared to regular Mega Evolution. Mega Lucario Z creates a shielding aura to increase defense, flexibility, and agility, channeling energy for stronger attacks. The duration is shorter but compensates with quicker attack strings.
Power Over Speed
Mega Lucario Z's key difference lies in prioritizing defensive and agile enhancements over pure attack power. Activating the Z Mega Evolution results in a shorter transformation period but allows for a rapid succession of attacks. Lucario remains a Fighting- and Steel-type, but it's uncertain if other Pokémon will have type changes with Z Mega Evolution.
