'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a temporary transformation introduced in [[Generation VI]] that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In the [[core series]], Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]] (except in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], in which the player simply needs to have the Mega Stone in their bag). While Mega Evolution is also available in the [[Generation VII]] games, the feature is no longer present in the core series as of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, due to the lack of Key Stones and Mega Stones, although it still appears in some spin-offs like [[Pokémon GO]] and [[Pokémon Masters EX]] | '''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a temporary transformation introduced in [[Generation VI]] that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
