Mega Lucario Z Revealed for Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC

Lucario is set to get a second Mega Evolution, joining the ranks of Mewtwo, Charizard, and Raichu. The latest trailer for the Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC gave us a good look at the new design for Mega Lucario Z.

This new Lucario form features more blue and less red than the original Mega Lucario and looks to be more focused on Special Attacks, given the animations. We'll see once we have the stats.

Here's the trailer:

The Pokémon Company also released official information about Mega Lucario Z:

A newly discovered form of Lucario, Mega Lucario Z was determined to be a Mega Evolution based on how its form changes through exposure to a Mega Stone and its increase in power far outshining that of an average Lucario.

The long fur around Mega Lucario Z’s head and waist, as well as its fan-shaped tail, make it difficult to get a full view of Mega Lucario Z’s powerful movements. In close combat, this can work to visually disorient opponents. Areas of its body, such as the backs of its hands and its shins, have been hardened with steel energy – allowing it to deliver powerful blows by concentrating its strength precisely into these hardened parts.

Additionally, we know that it will retain the Fighting/Steel typing. There are also some mechanical differences for how Z Mega Evolutions work. Here are some additional screenshots:
