Mega Stone: Difference between revisions

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 stones]] being irradiated by the power of the Legendary Pokemon {{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.

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}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}. Some can only being obtained through 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.

In the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'', [[Mr. Fuji]] gave {{OBP|Red|Origins}} a Mega Stone and a Key Stone, although he did not tell Red what they truly were, saying that he would find out soon enough. In ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'', during Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, one of the stones was revealed to be a Charizardite X from Kalos. Together, it and the Key Stone triggered [[Red's Charizard]]'s Mega Evolution, allowing it to Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X and weaken Mewtwo enough to be caught.

In [[Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King]], as the story of the manga is centred around Mega Evolution, several characters have Mega Stones. {{OBP|Akira|LDK}} owns both a Charizardite X and a Charizardite Y, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}} owns a Garchompite and [[Taichi]] has an Ampharosite.

Like in the games, [[Korrina]]'s Lucario owns a Lucarionite, allowing it to Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario.

[[Diantha]]'s Gardevoir has been shown wearing its Gardevoirite around its head.

[[Lysandre]] owns a Gyaradosite for his {{p|Gyarados}} but is currently unable to Mega Evolve it.

[[Clemont]] has an {{p|Electrike}} which evolved into a {{p|Manectric}} searching for its Mega Stone, which it eventually joined X's team after a Team Flare Grunt ambushed the group and stole the Manectite.

Latios and Latias are revealed to have obtained the Latiosite and Latiasite respectively, sometime before ''[[PAORAS01]]''.

In ''[[PAORAS02]]'' it is revealed that [[Steven Stone|Steven]] had already found the Mega Stones for [[Chic|Blaziken]], [[Mumu|Swampert]] and [[Emerald's Sceptile|Sceptile]] for {{adv|Sapphire}}, {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Emerald}}, respectively.

*The Aggronite and Houndoominite are only obtainable in Pokémon Y, despite {{p|Aron}}, {{p|Houndour}}, and their evolutions being exclusive to Pokémon X.

*The design of the Mega Stones appear to be based on a common pattern found in the glass ''{{wp|marble (toy)|marble}}'' called a toothpaste marble.
