[[File:Masters Mega Evolution.png|thumb|150px|Metagross Mega Evolving in Pokémon Masters EX]]
'''[[Mega Evolution]]''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a temporary transformation that certain Pokémon can undergo in {{g|Masters EX}}.

==List of sync pairs==
Certain [[sync pair]]s, including some {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that do not have [[Key Stone]]s in the [[core series]], Mega Evolve their Pokémon while performing their [[sync move]]. After Mega Evolving, their sync partner will benefit from multipliers applied to all stats, chosen so that their total sum is 6.4, and sometimes different [[move]]s and [[passive skill]]s for the rest of the battle. As a trade-off, most sync pairs that Mega Evolve have a sync move that is weaker than usual—160 base power instead of the usual 200 or 250.

The following sync pairs can Mega Evolve:

==Trivia==
* {{sync|Brendan|Sceptile}}, {{sync|Giovanni|Mewtwo}}, and {{sync|Zinnia|Rayquaza}} are the only [[sync pair]]s that can use Mega Evolution whose sync move base power is not lower than other strike sync pairs'.
** Of those three, only Brendan & Sceptile's Mega Evolution is accessible without a Power Boost.
* {{sync|May|Lopunny|Spring 2021}} are the only sync pair that can use Mega Evolution whose sync move has a base power of 200.
* {{sync|May|Blaziken|sygna=y}} are the only sync pair to change all their passive skills upon Mega Evolving.
