Summary

  • Mega Lucario will debut in the upcoming Ultra Unlock Raid Day event, bringing a new dynamic to Pokemon GO gameplay.
  • Players will need Mega Energy, not Mega Stones, to evolve their Pokemon in Pokemon GO, with temporary CP boosts during Mega Evolution.
  • Trainers can earn Rare Candy XL, XP boosts, and additional Raid Passes during the Mega Lucario event on July 27, 2024.

After much anticipation, Pokemon GO has confirmed that Mega Lucario will debut in the upcoming Ultra Unlock Raid Day event. In addition to the regular forms, Pokemon GO has different Pokemon variants that players can catch. One of these variants is Mega Pokemon, which adds extra spice to trainers' gaming experience.

While players need a Mega Stone to evolve their critters in the mainline Pokemon games, in Pokemon GO they need a specific Pokemon's Mega Energy. Mega Evolutions in Pokemon GO are also temporary, giving the creature a huge CP boost. When the Mega Evolution period is over, Pokemon will enter its rest period. Various Mega Pokemon have already made their debut in Pokemon GO, such as Mega Rayquaza, Mega Gengar, and Mega Alakazam. This time, Pokemon GO is adding another mega form and one of the most popular among Pokemon fans.
