In order to undergo Primal Reversion, a Pokémon only needs to be holding the appropriate [[Colored orbs|orb]]. Like [[Mega Stone]]s, orbs cannot be removed during battle if held by the appropriate Pokémon. Unlike [[Mega Evolution]], however, the player does not need a [[Key Stone]] or have to manually trigger Primal Reversion; it will simply happen automatically after the Pokémon enters battle and after any [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]] take effect, but before the activation of [[weather]]-changing {{Abilities}}. | In order to undergo Primal Reversion, a Pokémon only needs to be holding the appropriate [[Colored orbs|orb]].

Rather than using the [[Red Orb]] or [[Blue Orb]], an eligible Pokémon instead consumes Primal Energy to undergo a temporary Primal Reversion. Primal Reversion is functionally similar to Mega Evolution. The only differences are the types affected by the 1.3× power boost given to allies in raids (Primal Groudon affects {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Ground}}, while Primal Kyogre affects {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Water}} and {{t|Bug}}) and that the damage bonuses are active whenever the Primal Pokémon is in the party, not only when it is on the field. A player can only have one active Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion at a time. | ||

Primal Reversion is an extension of the {{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Evolution Pokémon}} mechanics. As such, Primal Reversion Pokémon only evolve from the long-standing {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} and are Pokémon-EX themselves. The only Primal Reversion Pokémon are the {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Primal Kyogre-EX|55}} and {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Primal Groudon-EX|86}} cards from Primal Clash and {{TCG|Ancient Origins}}. Each Primal Reversion Pokémon features an {{TCG|Ancient Trait}}. The Ancient Origins prints feature the {{shiny}} versions of the Pokémon and replace the original Ancient Traits with θ Max, but are otherwise identical to the Primal Clash cards. | ||
