Effect

In battle

If held by an Ampharos, allows it to Mega Evolve into Mega Ampharos if its Trainer has a Key Stone. Each Trainer can only Mega Evolve one Pokémon per battle.

Unaffected by item negating effects (such as Embargo and Klutz). Item manipulating effects (such as Trick and Fling) cannot give Ampharos an Ampharosite or remove an Ampharosite from Ampharos.

Outside of battle

If held by an Ampharos, allows it to Mega Evolve into Mega Ampharos when it performs a Spectacular Talent during a Pokémon Contest Spectacular while its Trainer has a Key Stone. Ampharos will remain a Mega Ampharos until the Talent Round ends.
