2. Mega Lucario Z, a Mega Evolution of the Aura Pokémon, Lucario, Appears in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension!
The long fur growing around its head and waist as well as its fan-shaped tail make it difficult to get a full view of Mega Lucario Z's aggressive 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. By concentrating its strength precisely into these hardened parts, it can deliver powerful blows that wouldn't seem possible based on its appearance.
Mega Lucario Z
Category Aura Pokémon
Type Fighting/Steel
Height 4'3" (1.3 m)
Weight 108.9 lbs. (49.4 kg)
A Newly Discovered Form of Lucario
It was determined to be a Mega Evolution rather than a regular 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. It is called Mega Lucario Z in order to differentiate it from the previously discovered Mega Lucario.
Even More Ways to Use its Aura
While Mega Lucario can concentrate its huge aura into a destructive force, Mega Lucario Z surrounds its entire body with its aura, cloaking itself to increase its defense, flexibility, and agility.
Mega Lucario Z can use its aura in a variety of different ways, such as stretching the aura thin into a shield or channeling it into its blows by concentrating the aura into specific parts of its body, such as its legs or fists.
3. Introducing Z Mega Evolution
While Mega Lucario, the Mega Evolution of Lucario, appears in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the newly discovered Mega Lucario Z will be appearing in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension!
Z Mega Evolutions such as Mega Lucario Z need less time to fire off moves after receiving an order.
But Z Mega Evolutions also burn through Mega Power very quickly, making them less suited for long battles, so try to settle matches as fast as possible!
