We’re just one week out from the Pokémon Legends: Z-A DLC release, so another new Mega has entered the fray: Mega Lucario Z. However, this alternate form of the Aura Pokémon isn’t just a cosmetic change. It’s actually the first of presumably a whole line of Z Mega Evolution Pokémon. Ever since its original introduction in gen six, Mega Lucario is one of the fan-favorites, despite not playing as big a role in Lumiose’s story in Pokémon Legends: Z-A as it did in X and Y. The fighting Pokémon exudes coolness and, well, aura, which is fitting of its classification, and I’ll admit that, if any ‘mon was deserving of a new form, Lucario is definitely a top pick. According to the Pokémon Legends website, Mega Lucario Z surrounds itself with its aura to increase its agility and defense, which we can see in the trailer as it fires off an Aura Sphere much faster than the opposing Mega Lucario. But this isn’t just a feature of Lucario’s new form – it’s a signature part of Z Mega Evolution. Apparently, “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.”
