Abilities Revealed for Mega Absol Z, Mega Lucario Z, and Mega Garchomp Z

Following the reveal of Z Mega Evolutions coming to Pokémon Champions on September 9th, we now have the official abilities of these new forms. Will these Mega Evolutions have an impact on the competitive meta?

Here's what was revealed for each new Z Mega Evolution:

• Mega Absol Z (Dark/Ghost type) gains Sharpness as its ability. This ability boosts the power of slicing moves (such as Shadow Claw and Night Slash).
• Mega Lucario Z (Fighting/Steel type) gains the new Aura Guard ability. This ability reduces the damage from moves that make physical contact by half.
• Mega Garchomp Z (Dragon/Ground type) gains Levitate as its ability. This ability gives full immunity to Ground-type attacks and some arena hazards (Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Sticky Web, Arena Trap, Rototiller, and terrain effects).

We still don't know what additional moves will be added or what their final stats are, but these abilities at least seem to allow for different strategies than their base forms or alternative Mega Evolutions. We'll have to see what happens when they release next week!
