The final trailer for Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC, releasing on December 10, 2025, has officially unveiled a brand-new Mega Evolution for Lucario. The reveal comes just seven weeks after the base game launched and serves as the latest confirmation of widespread datamined leaks hinting at new Mega Evolutions arriving in this paid expansion.
Despite its $30 price tag, early reports suggest the Mega Dimension DLC will offer a smaller amount of content compared to previous major expansions from Generation 9. However, the new trailer reinforces that the DLC will still deliver several highly anticipated new forms, including the newly revealed Mega Lucario Z.
Korrina Returns With a New Mega Lucario
The trailer confirms that Korrina, the Gym Leader associated with Mega Evolution in Generation 6, will once again use Lucario as her signature partner. However, instead of the familiar Mega Lucario from earlier titles, she now commands the newly introduced Mega Lucario Z.
Before this trailer, fans speculated that this new form would feature a unique type combination. The reveal confirmed that the new Mega Lucario remains Fighting/Steel, retaining the typing of its original Mega form.
What stands out is the drastic change in appearance. Mega Lucario Z’s design bears little resemblance to the original Mega Evolution, signaling that its stat distribution and battle role may also diverge significantly. Unlike Mega Zeraora—whose full stats leaked early—Mega Lucario Z’s numbers remain unconfirmed.
How Mega Lucario Z Might Differ From the Original
To understand the potential differences, it is useful to look at how the original Mega Lucario compared to base Lucario:
Lucario vs. Original Mega Lucario (Gen 6)
| Stat | Lucario | Mega Lucario |
|---|---|---|
| HP | 70 | 70 |
| Attack | 110 | 145 |
| Defense | 70 | 88 |
| Sp. Attack | 115 | 140 |
| Sp. Defense | 70 | 70 |
| Speed | 90 | 112 |
The original Mega Lucario gained:
- +35 Attack
- +18 Defense
- +25 Special Attack
- +22 Speed
Based on design changes and leak patterns, the new Mega Lucario Z is expected to emphasize Special Attack more heavily than physical power, distinguishing it from its Gen 6 counterpart. Official stats will likely be revealed closer to the DLC’s launch.
Mega Lucario Z Confirms More New Mega Evolutions
The introduction of Mega Lucario Z aligns closely with prior datamined lists that pointed to several new or alternate Mega Evolutions. Its reveal indirectly supports the accuracy of leaks suggesting that Mega Absol, Mega Garchomp, and other returning Pokémon will also receive new variants.
