Pokemon GO players anticipate the arrival of Mega Metagross or Mega Lucario in July's Ultra Unlock Part 2: Strength of Steel event, a long-awaited addition. Niantic's recently revealed July schedule is packed with exciting content for Pokemon GO enthusiasts.
July promises a busy month for Pokemon GO, culminating with the final stages of GO Fest 2024 and a Tynamo Community Day. Amidst this excitement, speculation swirls around the potential introduction of a highly requested Mega evolution.
A Silph Road subreddit post highlights July's anticipated events, focusing on the Ultra Unlock event (July 25th-30th) titled "Strength of Steel." Many believe this event will finally introduce Mega Lucario or Mega Metagross, fulfilling a community wish.
The "Strength of Steel" event presents a prime opportunity for Niantic to debut these Mega evolutions. Supporting this theory, Mega Metagross's design resembles a fusion of Metagross and Metang, aligning with the previous "Better Together" Ultra Unlock event. Additionally, Lucario's friendship-based evolution in other Pokemon games adds another layer to the speculation.
While excitement for Mega Metagross is high, some believe Mega Lucario is a more likely candidate. The "Strength of Steel" title better suits Lucario's Fighting/Steel typing, with "strength" potentially referencing its Steel-type. Some players even hope for a double debut of both Mega evolutions. With Ultra Beasts also returning in July, Pokemon GO players are in for an action-packed month.
