As Mega Lucario Z, much of its body turns gunmetal gray, while forearms and legs shift to teal. Bright blue eyes with black outlines and silver crescents mark its face, wrapping the skull and merging the head appendages into two zigzagged strands. Cream fur flares at the waist, the tail splits at the tip, and silver bands ring the body. A round chest and metal nodes armor hands. Stronger than Lucario, it disorients foes with flowing fur and steel aura, fighting defensively as it parries attacks.
