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 Community Day featuring Tynamo. However, the most anticipated addition might be one of the most requested Mega evolutions.
A Silph Road subreddit post highlights July's Pokemon GO events, focusing on the Ultra Unlock event, "Strength of Steel," running from July 25th to 30th. This event is widely speculated to introduce Mega Lucario or Mega Metagross, fulfilling a community desire.
Mega Metagross or Lucario? The Community Speculates
The timing is opportune for Niantic to introduce these Mega evolutions. Theories supporting Mega Metagross cite its design, resembling a fusion of Metagross and Metang, and the previous "Better Together" Ultra Unlock event. Another theory suggests Lucario's evolution requirement of high friendship in games like Scarlet and Violet aligns with the "Strength of Steel" theme.
However, some believe Mega Lucario is more likely, given its Fighting/Steel typing, fitting the "Strength of Steel" title. A few optimistic players even predict the debut of both Mega evolutions in July. With the return of Ultra Beasts, July promises an exciting period for Pokemon GO players.
