News: Mega Lucario Z announced

I was sorta expecting Mega Charizard Z first, though I suppose there's reason why it's Lucario. Though Mega Zard Z is basically guaranteed to happen now lol
 
Not a huge fan of Lucario. I thought its existing Mega was great, but I understand why the DLC introduced this variant (because of Korrina).

They introduced a new gimmick, which means we will likely receive a few more "Mega Z" variants instead of Mega evolutions for Pokémon that sorely need one... I'll wait for remaining Megas to be released before picking up the DLC.
 
Likes it maybe a little better than Mega Lucario. Removed the red in the Mega Z form. Would be better without the hair pin hanging on its head, though.

Cannot help but think of Fire Emblem Heroes. Releases alternate versions of the popular characters once a year or so. (Might give a character 3 versions in one year on rare occasions.) Gets a little old seeing them. Happened with Charizard and Pikachu already. Ought to add Lucario to the list.
 
Pokémon that undergo Z Mega Evolution require less time to fire off moves after receiving the orders from their Trainer, but they also burn through their Mega Power very quickly...

Ok, so apparently these new Z Megas are created for a very specific gimmick that only matters in the context of the Z-A battle system. Dunno, seems like too much for too little. like a gimmick inside another gimmick.

I hope at least this one is not Fighting/Steel. Drop Steel for something else for the sake of variety, it would be silly not to make good use of Lucario's amazing move pool.

Confirmed it to be Fighting/Steel as well.

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. It can utilize its aura in a variety of ways, including stretching it into a shield or channeling it into physical blows by concentrating it into specific parts of its body, such as its legs or fists. Like Mega Lucario, Mega Lucario Z is a Fighting- and Steel-type Pokémon.
 
I'm wondering how this will be triggered--would this be mega on top of mega? Or would this be like an alternate Mega form with its own stone (what will likely happen)?
 
Game Freak try to give megas different type challenge, impossible.

...At least it wasn't Charizard, right?

In any case, 100% this is a new mega for Korrina.
 
I prefer it over the original mega Lucario but some parts of the design are iffy imo. The cord 'hairs' look really odd and I don't think they fit the design. They look especially weird on the 3d render because they look like plastic cables they sit at an awkward angle that only makes them look even more like they're made of stiff plastic. Remove those + the zigzag pattern on the bigger appendages/hair and I'd like it a lot more.

Also i noticed that mega Lucario Z has a REALLY similar colour palette to mega Zeraora. Wonder if it's intentional?
