The Pokémon Company International has revealed that Mega Lucario Z will appear in the Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension paid downloadable content.
“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 company explains in its press release.
“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.”
It adds that Z Mega Evolutions “need less time to fire off moves but burn through Mega Power very quickly.” That makes them less suited for long battles, but makes them a good option when trying to settle matches as fast as possible.
In Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension, Trainers will revisit Lumiose as spatial distortions begin to form around the city. Donut chef Ansha and her companion, the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa, will guide players as they explore the mysterious dimension known as Hyperspace Lumiose.
This not-quite Lumiose City is home to newly discovered Mega-Evolved Pokémon and other Pokémon not usually found in Lumiose, some of which can exceed the normal limit of Lv. 100 with hyperspace levels.
The Pokémon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension paid downloadable content will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch worldwide on 10 December 2025.
