Steel-Type Mega Debuts Rumored for Pokémon GO

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 content calendar is packed with exciting events for Pokemon GO enthusiasts.

July promises a busy month for Pokemon GO, culminating in the final stages of GO Fest 2024 and a Tynamo Community Day. However, the most anticipated event might be the potential introduction of a highly requested Mega evolution.

A Silph Road subreddit post highlights July's events, emphasizing the Ultra Unlock event (Strength of Steel, July 25th-30th). Many believe this event will finally introduce Mega Lucario or Mega Metagross, fulfilling a community wish.

The speculation is fueled by several factors. 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 other Pokemon games might 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 better suits Lucario's Fighting/Steel typing. Some 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.
