Mega Steel Pokémon Incoming: GO Fans Speculate

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 unveiled July schedule is packed with exciting content for Pokemon GO enthusiasts.

July promises a busy month for Pokemon GO, culminating in the final stages of GO Fest 2024 and a Community Day featuring Tynamo. However, the buzz centers around the potential introduction of a highly requested Mega evolution.

A Silph Road subreddit post highlights July's events, focusing on the Ultra Unlock event (July 25th-30th), titled "Strength of Steel." Many believe this strongly suggests the debut of Mega Lucario or Mega Metagross, both highly sought after by the community.

The Speculation: Mega Metagross or Mega Lucario?

This timing presents a prime opportunity for Niantic to introduce these Mega evolutions. Speculation points to several clues: Mega Metagross's design, resembling a fusion of Metagross and Metang, aligns with the previous "Better Together" Ultra Unlock event. Alternatively, Lucario's friendship-based evolution in games like Scarlet and Violet could be referenced in the event's title.

While excitement surrounds Mega Metagross, many believe Mega Lucario is a stronger contender. The "Strength of Steel" title more accurately reflects Lucario's Fighting/Steel typing. Some players even hope for a double debut. With the return of Ultra Beasts, July promises an action-packed experience for Pokemon GO players.
