At this time, you can only obtain Pokemon Mega Evolutions through the game's Raiding feature, requiring you to defeat each Mega Evolution in battle before being able to acquire them yourself.

Posts 1This is the case for Mega Lucario, a powerful Fighting and Steel dual-type Pokemon currently available to Raid against and obtain in Pokemon Go. Defeating and acquiring Mega Lucario will require deliberate planning and preparation; read our complete Raid guide below for the best information on how to do exactly that.
Recommended Group Size
When it comes to high-level Raids, it's important to attempt them with a sufficient number of Trainers; otherwise you may waste your time and resources with each failed attempt. This is the case with Mega Lucario's Mega Raid, typically requiring the help and cooperation of others in order to be successful.
Make sure to help you and your allies in each Raid battle by Mega Evolving or Primal Reverting a Pokemon in your battle party.
This will increase the damage of attacks that match the Mega Evolved or Primal Reverted Pokemon's type, applied to all participating players.
That being said, Mega Lucario's Raid is, fortunately, on the easier side, with a recommendation of going into it with just two to five Trainers. As always, the more, the merrier when it comes to Raid battles, so if you are attempting it with a smaller group size, make sure you are playing with experienced players.
