Mewtwo set the stage when both Mega Mewtwo X and Y joined the roster in 2023. Until now, no other Mega Evolutions had been introduced. Now, Mega Lucario will join Aeos Island on October 3, 2025, followed by Mega Charizard X on October 24.

Beyond these two, the developers teased that two more Mega Evolution Pokemon are scheduled to arrive before the end of 2025, though who these two Pokemon are kept a secret.

The recent Pokemon Unite Map change update shed light on how Megas from now onwards may function in-game. Beginning September 4, both forms of Mewtwo will automatically equip their respective Mega Stones: Mewtwonite X and Mewtwonite Y, as fixed Held Items, similar to Zacian’s Rusted Sword.

This system change suggests that future Mega Evolutions, such as Lucario and Charizard, may not receive separate licenses. Instead, their existing Pokemon licenses will gain access to their respective Mega Stones unique to that particular evolution.

More importantly, the two Mega reveals are for Pokemon already present in the game hints that the two unrevealed Mega Evolutions might also belong to the current roster.

Since both Mega Lucario and Mega Charizard X are coming in October, we can speclulate that the third entry would be in mid November and the final Mega Evolution in early Decmeber.
