A '''Mega Stone''' (Japanese: '''メガストーン''' ''Mega Stone'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. It allows Pokémon to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. According to [[Professor Sycamore]], Mega Stones are the results of [[Evolutionary stone]]s being irradiated by the power of the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}} or {{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], it has been revealed that Mega Stones are also periodically created from meteorites that fall down from the sky in a form of green light.

==Mechanics==

During a battle, a Trainer can use their [[Key Stone]] (held in the Mega Ring{{sup/6|XY}}, Mega Bracelet{{sup/6|ORAS}}, or [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} for the player character) to Mega Evolve a Pokémon that holds its corresponding Mega Stone before it attacks. Pokémon only remain Mega Evolved during battles and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectactulars]], and will revert to their original state once the battle has ended or if they [[fainting|faint]]. Every Pokémon that can undergo Mega Evolution has a corresponding Mega Stone that is named after it, except for {{p|Rayquaza}}, which instead needs to know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}} to Mega Evolve. Some Pokémon have multiple different Mega Stones for their species.

Mega Stones cannot be transferred to or from the correct holder during battle: {{m|Thief}} and {{m|Covet}} do not take the Mega Stone, {{m|Knock Off}} does not remove the Mega Stone, {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Switcheroo}} fail, {{m|Fling}} and {{m|Bestow}} fail, and {{a|Symbiosis}} does not activate. {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} also cannot prevent the use of Mega Stones to Mega Evolve Pokémon. Mega Stones are not consumed upon use, but only one Pokémon can Mega Evolve per battle.

In {{g|X and Y}}, all Mega Stones not directly given or sold to the player can only be found between 8 and 8:59 p.m. after [[Professor Sycamore]] has upgraded the player's Mega Ring to detect them. These Mega Stones do not appear as item balls in the overworld; rather, they appear as sparkles on the ground.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Mega Stones on the ground appear as sparkles, like in Pokémon X and Y. Many Mega Stones that can be found in locations the player can already access will not appear until the player defeats or captures {{p|Groudon|Primal Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre|Primal Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}. Some can only be obtained by meeting certain requirements, such as clearing all the [[Rank (Contest)|Master Ranks]] in the {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars}} and then defeating [[Lisia]] in one of the Master Rank Contests in order to receive the Lucarionite from {{ga|Chaz}} or receiving the Garchompite from [[Aarune]] after achieving Platinum Rank in the [[Secret Base|Super-Secret Base]] by collecting 1,000 Flags.

The Mega Stone for {{p|Blaziken}}, the Blazikenite, cannot be found through normal gameplay in Pokémon X and Y. However, it can be obtained via special distributions and trading. The Mega Stone for {{p|Diancie}}, the Diancite, also cannot be obtained through normal gameplay in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]; instead, the stone can be obtained by having a Diancie in the party and activating an in-game event that results in the player being given a Diancite.

Pokémon holding Mega Stones introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (except Latiasite and Latiosite) cannot be traded to Pokémon X and Y.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, only Mega Stones for Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Sun and Moon)|Alola Pokédex]] and for the fully-evolved [[Kanto]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s are available through normal gameplay. [[Dexio]] gives the player the Alakazite and a Key Stone after defeating him on [[Ancient Poni Path]] after becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. Most Mega Stones can be purchased at the [[Battle Tree]] for 64 [[Battle Point]]s. {{ga|Red}} will give the player all Mega Stones associated with the starter Pokémon of the Kanto region after being defeated in a Single Challenge at the Battle Tree. The remaining Mega Stones have been distributed as [[event item]]s; by participating in [[Pokémon Global Link]] online competitions or with universal codes provided on the official Pokémon website.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, all Mega Stones are available for purchase at the Battle Tree except for [[Diancite]], which is given to the player at [[Olivia]]'s {{DL|Konikoni City|jewelry store}} in [[Konikoni City]] for showing a man a {{p|Diancie}}, and the Kanto Starter Mega Stones, which are received from Red or Blue. Dexio also gives the player Alakazite in these games, but he is found at the entrance to [[Poni Meadow]] in [[Poni Plains]].
