Niantic, the developers of Pokemon Go, have announced a surprise bonus for holders of Mega Lucario Raid Day tickets. This exciting incentive will encourage trainers to participate in the event and grind for rewards.
Although all players have the opportunity to take part in Mega Lucario Raids and have a higher chance of encountering shiny Pokémon, trainers who are level 31 and above will receive a guaranteed XL Candy for every capture by purchasing the $5 ticket (or the equivalent in their local currency).
With XL Candies being both extremely rare and essential for maximizing this powerhouse, the community was filled with excitement when Niantic released an official X post to confirm the perk. In addition, the developers mentioned in the comments that ticket holders at level 31 or below will receive a guaranteed Rare Candy.

The individuals who did not have a ticket appeared to be convinced, as one person remarked: “Alright, I am convinced. Raiding can be dull, but rare XLs are too enticing!”Many others also admitted that they were “completely convinced”as well.
This issue arose from the Primal Kyogre and Groudon Raid Days in March, which disrupted XL Candy gains despite promises of an increased chance of obtaining the item. However, unlike that event, Mega Lucario guarantees the acquisition of XL Candy.
The Mega Lucario Raid Day is scheduled for July 27, 2024, starting at 11 AM and ending at 5 PM in your local time zone. During this six-hour event, all Gyms in Pokemon Go will be hosting Raids, providing an opportunity to obtain a large amount of XL Candy with the purchase of a ticket.
Whether or not you decide to buy the ticket, you can still join in on the battles with the increased Remote Raid Pass limit of 20 for the event. However, if your goal is to collect XL Candy for the new Mega, the ticket will be necessary.
Remember that Mega Lucario is poised to be the top Fighting-type Pokemon in Pokemon Go. To easily defeat it, utilize counters such as Primal Groudon and the Mega Evolutions of Garchomp, Charizard, and Blaziken.
