Mega Glimmora
Glimmora returns from the Paldea region as one of the most iconic symbols of the game's moving story. Fortunately, this Pokémon's power as a Mega Evolution receives a noticeable increase in base stats that help take its power to a new level.

Dodge, duck, dive, dive and dodge again.
Glimmora's defense gets a decent boost to improve her tanking abilities, but the real improvement lies in her attack stats. plus-35 to his Attack stat followed by plus-20 to his Special Attackwhere it really shines. Glimmora's excellent type mix makes it a great coverage option to add to your team, especially against other Mega Pokemon, including Dragonite.
Despite the increased boost, you won't want to rely on Glimmora for many physical attacks, given how significantly better her special attack is.

Mega Absol Z
Looking at his Base Stat Total (BST), Mega Absol Z may seem identical to his normal Mega version, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Mega Absol Z is the biggest fan of the speed, which is at a shockingly fast 151 thanks to the kind gift of a special attack that usually went to waste.
Since Absol is a physical attacker, it won't need to use its special attack stats in most scenarios, so the shift in stats from special attack to speed ensures that this Pokemon is constantly dealing damage to the opponent. If that wasn't enticing enough, he also gains a Ghost-type to go with Dark, eliminating Absol's once glaring weakness against Fighting-type enemies.
6
Mega Staraptor
Mega Staraptor gets a huge plus-100 BST stat boost from its Mega Evolution. In addition to getting a slight defensive boost, Mega Staraptor's Attack also gains an additional 20 points to increase its power, but that's not even the best part of this major Mega upgrade.
Mega Staraptor also adds a fighting type in addition to its original flying resolution, which helps this Pokemon's melee attacks hit even harder, while still giving it plenty of resistance against other fighting-type Pokemon. The visual upgrade is a nice icing on the cake for this once overmatched bird, as it enjoys healthy competition with Pidgeot as the most upgraded, thanks to its Mega Evolution.
5
Mega Golurk
Mega Golurk gets one of the most shocking upgrades over its base form in the Mega Dimension DLC, as this defensive follower now has a lot of power in its Dynamic Punch. At 159 Attack, this 35 point buff makes Golurk a huge threat against most Pokémon, especially those trying to counter its unusual Ground and Ghost types.
Immunity to normal, melee, and electric attacks is a huge boon to Golurk's defensive abilities, and he even resists Poison, Rock, and Bug moves, giving him plenty of stamina. Golurk may still have average speed, but his improved offensive and defensive abilities make him stand out as one of the strongest Mega Evolutions from the Mega Dimension DLC.
4
Mega Lucario Z
Lucario's regular Mega form was already solid, but one of the most glaring incompatibilities was her focus on physical attacks, despite Aura Sphere, her signature move, relying on her Special Attack. Mega Lucario Z addresses this vexing issue and redistributes this Pokemon's stats to emphasize its Speed and Special Attack stats.
At 164 and 151, Lucario's Special Attack can deal a lot of Aura Sphere damage, and its speed ensures you can attack multiple times before slower Pokemon have a chance to hit back. Unfortunately, Mega Lucario Z's defense is abysmal, so you'll need to focus on dealing damage quickly to dispatch the enemy Pokémon, or Lucario will suffer from repeated hits.
3
Mega Magearna
Mega Magearna boosts this Pokemon's BST to an eye-popping 700, thanks in large part to its near-unmatched 170 Special Attack stats, followed by impressive Defense stats of 115 each.
Magearna's Attack Stat also gets a decent boost, but this Pokémon should primarily use Special Attacks to maximize its damage potential against Fairy-weak Pokémon.
Magearna even boasts a huge speed boost, jumping from 65 to 95, though this aspect isn't nearly as impressive as her raw attack power. Steel and Fairy are relatively underrepresented types when it comes to Legendary Pokémon, but Magearna is making a huge statement as an excellent option for trainers who need massive attack power against Dragon and Fairy types.
2
Mega Heatran
Mega Heatran also saw a massive glow with a 100-point increase in BST, led by his gargantuan 175 Special Attack stat, which improved by 45 points, eclipsing Magearna's increase. Heatran isn't short on options when it comes to special attacks, thanks to a plethora of fire moves along with some solid coverage options, including Solar Beam, Earth Power, and Scorching Sands.
Its quadruple weakness to Ground attacks is still a big disadvantage for Heatran, though nine resistances and complete immunity to Poison moves more than make up for its unfortunate vulnerability. You won't be surprised by its smaller set of visual changes, but Heatran's solid set of stat boosts cements this Pokemon as one of the strongest new Mega Pokemon from the Mega Dimension.
1
Mega Darkrai
Darkrai's importance to the Mega Dimension DLC story is huge, but his impressive BST upgrade is just as important. Mega Darkrai boasts the same 100 point BST boost as some of the other Legendary Mega Evolutions, but this Pokemon has some of the most comprehensive stats.
While Darkrai's 165 Special Attack is slightly below Magearna and Heatran, Mega Darkrai comes in with 130 in both of its defense stats, making it a great tank Pokemon despite once only having 90 in each category. Mega Darkrai is one of the deadliest Mega Pokemon threats without sacrificing survivability, so don't underestimate its stamina as one of the best new additions to Mega Evolution.
