Pokemon Legends Z-A DLC: Mega Lucario Z & Hyperspace Lumiose
Get ready, Trainers! The highly anticipated Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC is set to revolutionize battles with a groundbreaking new "Z Mega Evolution" and a host of fresh content. Headlining this massive expansion is the reveal of Mega Lucario Z, marking a significant power shift for the fan-favorite Steel/Fighting-type.
Unveiling Mega Lucario Z: A New Era of Power
The Pokémon Company has officially pulled back the curtain on Mega Lucario Z, the very first "Z Mega Evolution" to debut in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. This isn't just another powerful form; it introduces a strategic new layer to battles. Mega Lucario Z boasts a shorter cooldown period for its abilities, allowing for quicker action on the battlefield. However, this burst of power comes at a cost: it depletes Mega Energy at an accelerated rate, making it less ideal for prolonged engagements.
While retaining its iconic Steel and Fighting typing, Mega Lucario Z distinguishes itself from the original Mega Lucario through its defensive capabilities. The official Pokémon website elaborates, stating that "While Mega Lucario concentrates its aura into a destructive force, Mega Lucario Z uses it to surround its entire body, cloaking itself to increase its defense, flexibility, and agility." This suggests a more nimble and resilient combatant, offering Trainers fresh tactical options.
Mega Dimension DLC: Expansive New Content Arrives
The Mega Dimension DLC itself is packed with new features and will launch globally on December 10, priced at $30. Players will journey into Hyperspace Lumiose, an alternate dimension teeming with Pokémon not typically found in the base game. Expect challenging encounters, as this new realm is home to wild Pokémon that can exceed level 100, pushing your team to its limits.
Beyond Mega Lucario Z, the DLC is confirmed to introduce several other exciting new Mega-Evolved forms, promising to shake up the competitive landscape. Confirmed additions include:
- Mega Raichu X
- Mega Raichu Y
- Mega Baxcalibur
- Mega Chimecho
- Mega Zeraora (for the Mythical Pokémon)
Current Events: Ranked Battles & Legendary Encounters

The game's third Ranked Battle season is currently underway, challenging Trainers to climb the ranks until December 17. Achieving Rank S before the season concludes will reward dedicated players with a valuable Mega Stone for Chestnaught.
