Mega Lucario is starringin its own Raid Dayduring theUltra Unlock event, which comes with a special event ticket that provides additional bonuses. But is it worth buying this ticket, or should you just get by without paying a penny?
The Ultra Unlock event will take place over several days and will focus on different Pokemon, withTandemaus and Mausholddebuting on July 17,Shiny Togedemaruappearing on July 20, and numerousPaldean Pokemonbeing the center of attention from September 15-20.
Should I buy the Mega Lucario Raid Day event ticket?
The answer depends on how much you care about competitive battles and high-level Raids. For the $5 price tag, the ticket gets you:
The ticket increases your chances of getting a hundo Lucario and lots of Mega Energy. If your primary concern is getting a powerful Mega Lucario to use in battles, then the ticket is worth it, so long as you know you’re free the day of the event to make the most of its benefits.
For most casual players,the Mega Lucario Raid Day event ticket isn’t worth it. It only provides more of something you can get for free. You’ll still be able to encounter Mega Lucario in Raids, along with anincreased Shiny Lucario encounter rate, more Raid Passes from Gym Discs, and Rare Candy XL drops, even without buying the ticket.
Mega Lucario is an incredibly powerful beast in the mainline Pokemon games. However, itsmettle has yet to be tested in Pokemon Go. This means we can’t recommend going out of your way to seek out Mega Lucario until its capabilities in Niantic’s game are known.
