A Mega Stone (Japanese: メガストーン Mega Stone) is a type of item introduced in Generation VI that, if activated with a Key Stone, causes a specific Pokémon to undergo Mega Evolution. There are 92 known Mega Stones, corresponding to 86 different Pokémon (one or more for every species that can Mega Evolve, except Rayquaza).

Various Mega Stones in Pokémon Journeys: The Series

From Generation VIII to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Mega Stones (and Mega Evolution) do not appear in the core series, but they do appear in other media.

History

Mega Stones seem to originate from two distinct events.

Professor Sycamore theorizes that Mega Stones were born as a result of the power of the Legendary Pokémon XerneasX/YveltalY (or bothZA) irradiating special stones, possibly Evolution stones, when AZ fired the ultimate weapon for the first time 3,000 years ago; AZ himself supports this notion, further claiming that the recent firing of the ultimate weapon by Lysandre in Pokémon X and Y is the reason why new Mega Stones have been found as of the events of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.[1] Mega Stones also appear to have a connection, albeit not fully understood, to the Anistar City Sundial, as the light emitted by the sundial allows the Mega Ring to react to underground Mega Stones.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Mega Stones, along with Key Stones, seem to have a strong connection to the meteoroids that rained down on the Hoenn region millenia ago. Professor Cozmo and Matt found a Galladite and a Key Stone, respectively, in Meteor Falls, an area known for having been struck by meteors in the distant past;[2] even more notably, the Meteorite slowly changes to resemble a Mega Stone over the course of the game. MaxieOR/ArchieAS also considers the possibility of altering the Meteorite's qualities to those of a Mega or Key Stone. Unlike with proper Mega Stones, however, they are implied to lose their energy as the time goes on.[3] Similarly, an unremarkable pebble given to the player by Zygarde is actually revealed to be a Zygardite during the climax of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

In the Mega Dimension DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, it is revealed that Mega Stones can be made out of Mega Shards, as Quasartico Inc.'s research team produced the Magearnite. According to Jett, AZ also knew how to create a Mega Stone.[4]

Despite being the very first Pokémon to undergo Mega Evolution, Rayquaza does not have a corresponding Mega Stone; instead, it has an internal organ that fills the same role, named the "mikado organ" (Japanese: ミカド器官). A Devon Corporation scientist proposed that the combination of Rayquaza's meteoroid diet and own internal energy creates an effect similar to that of a Mega Stone.[5]

Mechanics

During battle, a Mega Stone can be activated while its corresponding Pokémon is on the field. The stone must be held by the Pokémon or, in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! (which do not feature held items), be in the possession of the Pokémon's Trainer. The Pokémon's Trainer can use their Key Stone to activate the Mega Stone at the start of a turn, causing the Pokémon to undergo Mega Evolution. Mega Stones are not consumed upon use, but only one Mega Stone use is possible per Trainer per battle. Mega Stones cannot be activated for Pokémon that have transformed into their corresponding Pokémon (either by Transform or Imposter).

As held items, Mega Stones cannot be transfered to or from their corresponding Pokémon in battle; Thief and Covet will not steal them, Knock Off will not remove them or cause extra damage, Trick, Switcheroo, Fling, and Bestow will fail, and Symbiosis will not activate. Embargo, Magic Room, and Klutz also do not prevent the use of Mega Stones.

During a Contest Spectacular, if a Mega Stone is being held by its corresponding Pokémon, the Pokémon's Coordinator will activate it automatically if the Pokémon performs a Spectacular Talent.

Acquisition

Generation VI

X and Y
A map depicting the locations of Mega Stones in Kalos

Some Mega Stones are given or sold to the player by NPCs. Most others can be found in various locations around Kalos, appearing as sparkles on the ground rather than item balls. These can only be found after Professor Sycamore upgrades the player's Mega Ring in Anistar City, which only happens after the player defeats their rival in Kiloude City. These Mega Stones also only appear from to , while the Anistar Sundial is active. Some Mega Stones are exclusive to each game.

The Blazikenite, Latiasite, and Latiosite are only obtainable via trade. However, the former was also an event item. Mega Stones introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are unobtainable.

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Some Mega Stones are only obtainable by meeting certain requirements, such as defeating Lisia in a Master Rank Contest Spectacular to receive the Lucarionite from Chaz, or receiving the Garchompite from Aarune after reaching the Super-Secret Base Platinum Rank. However, most Mega Stones appear around Hoenn as sparkles on the ground, much like in X and Y. Many of these only appear after the player defeats or captures Primal GroudonOR or Primal KyogreAS.

The Diancite is unobtainable through normal gameplay; instead, it can be received from an NPC in any Pokémon Center if the player has a Diancie—an event Pokémon—in their party.

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

Generation VII

Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon

No Mega Stones are received before the player becomes Champion. The player receives an Alakazite, along with a Key Stone, from Dexio after defeating him at Ancient Poni PathSM or Poni PlainsUSUM. The Kanto first partners' Mega Stones can be received by defeating RedSMUSUM or BlueUSUM in a challenge at the Battle Tree. Many Mega Stones (including the Alakazite) can be purchased at the Battle Tree for 64BP each. In Sun and Moon, only the Mega Stones for Pokémon in the Alola Pokédex can be purchased. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, all Mega Stones except the Kanto first partners' and the Diancite can be purchased.

In Sun and Moon, the remaining Mega Stones are only obtainable via trade. However, they were all also event items. They were distributed via universal serial codes provided on the official Pokémon website, which were usable in all software regions but expired on . Some were also distributed via unique serial codes to players who participated in certain Online Competitions on the Pokémon Global Link.

Only the Mega Stones for Pokémon in the Kanto Pokédex are obtainable. The player receives the Kanto first partners' Mega Stones, along with a Key Stone, from Blue at the Oak Pokémon Research Lab after obtaining seven Badges. Mewtwo's Mega Stones can be received from Green after defeating her in Cerulean Cave. The remaining Kanto Pokémon Mega Stones can be purchased from a Poké Maniac at Indigo Plateau for $30,000 each after the player enters the Hall of Fame.

Generation IX

Legends: Z-A

In Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Mega Dimension DLC, Mega Stones are obtainable again and can be held by the Trainer's Pokémon.

Mega Stones are received by numerous methods. The Mega Stone related to the player's first partner Pokémon is given to them by AZ. Mega Stones related to defeated Rogue Mega Evolutions are given out as a reward for the respective Pokémon. Most of the remaining Mega Stones can be purchased at Quasartico Inc. or the Stone Emporium. The Gardevoirite can be purchased at Quasartico Inc. and can also be obtained through Mystery Gift. The Diancite, Mewtwonite X, and Mewtwonite Y are only obtainable via Mystery Gift. The Greninjite, Delphoxite, Chesnaughtite, Baxcalibrite, Sceptilite, Swampertite, and Blazikenite are given out as rewards for participation in online ranked matches. The Zygardite and Floettite are received by obtaining the related Pokémon after completing the main story. The Chimechite, Garchompite Z, Golurkite, Crabominite, Golisopite, Scovillainite, and Glimmoranite are given out after defeating the related Mega-Evolved Pokémon in Hyperspace Lumiose. The Raichunite X, Raichunite Y, Latiasite, Latiosite, Lucarionite Z, and Magearnite are received after completing specific Side Missions.

In the spin-off games

Pokémon Shuffle

Main article: Mega Evolution (Shuffle) → Acquiring Mega Stones

Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective Mega Stone must be obtained (or in Rayquaza's case, the Meteorite). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:

Having a Mega Stone allows the player to view all the Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve from the Pokémon List, though their icon is faded and their type, attack power, and Skill are not visible.

Pokémon Rumble World

The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. Mega Stones for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the Red or Blue Orb is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

Pokémon UNITE

When using a Pokémon with a Unite license that allows it to Mega Evolve, that Pokémon's respective Mega Stone is forced to be used as a held item and cannot be removed. This Mega Stone is automatically obtained and applied to the Pokémon when obtaining the Unite license and cannot be used on any other Pokémon.

Pokémon the Series

Siebold's Blastoise wearing its Blastoisinite in Pokémon the Series: XY

In Pokémon the Series: XY, Pokémon wear Mega Stones using equipment similar to that which their Trainers use to hold their Key Stones. The equipment disappears while the Pokémon is in its Mega Evolved state. In Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, Mega Stones appear to be merged with the body of their holders and only appear whenever the Mega Evolution process is triggered. In Pokémon Journeys: The Series, Mega Stones descend in front of the holder seemingly out of nowhere once the process starts.

Pokémon the Series: XY

Mega Stones were first mentioned in Lumiose City Pursuit!, where Professor Sycamore told Ash that a "special stone" is required to trigger Mega Evolution, referring to Mega Stones.

Mega Stones made their physical debut in Mega Evolution Special I. The Mega Stones seen were Alain's Charizardite X, Astrid's Absolite, Remo's Garchompite, Siebold's Blastoisinite, and a Gyaradosite found by Alain from a set of ancient ruins. In addition, a Lucarionite was seen in a painting featuring the first-ever Mega Evolution, which was shown to Alain by Professor Sycamore in a flashback. Astrid's Absolite made a brief reappearance during the opening credits of Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction.

Diantha's Gardevoir's Gardevoirite debuted in The Bonds of Evolution!. The Embrace Pokémon was shown carrying its Mega Stone in a necklace around its neck.

In The Cave of Trials!, a Lucarionite was found by Korrina in a cave near Geosenge Town. After battling a Blaziken guarding the Lucarionite—which was afterward revealed to belong to Korrina's grandfather, Gurkinn—Korrina obtained the Mega Stone and used it to Mega Evolve her Lucario. The uncut Lucarionite was later set in an armband by McGinty, allowing Lucario to wear the Mega Stone. It retained it during its return in Pokémon Journeys: The Series.

In The Aura Storm!, Gurkinn was revealed to own a Lucarionite. Much like Korrina's Lucario, Gurkinn's Lucario also wears its Lucarionite in an armband on its left wrist.

In The Bonds of Mega Evolution!, a Mawilite was worn by Mabel's Mawile in a piece of jewelry placed at the foot of its head jaws.

In Origins of Mega Evolution!, a Lucarionite was featured in a story told by Gurkinn depicting the first known Mega Evolution.

In Mega Evolution Special II, Steven's Shiny Metagross wore a Metagrossite as a large bracelet on its right foreleg. An Ampharosite was also seen in a flashback in the same episode, having been found by Lysandre before Alain could get his hands on it.

In Garchomp's Mega Bond!, Professor Sycamore's Garchomp wears a Garchompite as a choker around her neck.

Several different Mega Stones appeared in Mega Evolution Special IV. The Mega Stones seen included a Venusaurite attached to the tree on a Venusaur's back; an Alakazite tied onto one of Alakazam's spoons; and Malva's Houndoominite, which is attached to a collar her Houndoom wears around its neck.

In A Giga Battle with Mega Results!, a Nurse Joy with an Audino found an Audinite. She later used it and Professor Sycamore's Key Stone to Mega Evolve Audino.

In A Real Icebreaker!, an Abomasite was worn by Wulfric's Abomasnow. The Frost Tree Pokémon wears its Mega Stone on its chest, revealing it only when it is about to Mega Evolve.

In A League of His Own!, a Charizardite Y was worn by Trevor's Charizard in a ring around its tail.

In Valuable Experience for All!, a Sceptilite was worn by Sawyer's Sceptile on a bandanna that is tied around its neck.

In Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel, Kimia's Shiny Gardevoir has a Gardevoirite in a necklace around its neck, which looks exactly like the necklace that Diantha's Gardevoir has.

In Coming Apart at the Dreams!, a Gyaradosite was worn by Lysandre's Shiny Gyarados around its neck in a holder similar to the one Alain's Charizard keeps its Charizardite X in. It is unknown whether this is the same Gyaradosite that Alain found in Mega Evolution Special I, or a different one.

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

Brock's Steelix's Steelixite appearing as it Mega Evolves in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

In When Regions Collide!, Brock's Steelix and Misty's Gyarados wore a Steelixite and a Gyaradosite, respectively. They were used in their respective battles.

In Reuniting for the First Time!, another Altarianite was worn and used by Lisia's Altaria, Ali.

In Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!, Alain was revealed to have acquired a new Charizardite X for his Charizard.

In The Fiery Road to Mastership!, Cynthia was revealed to own a Garchompite, which her Garchomp uses to Mega Evolve.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Roy's Lucario using its Lucarionite in Pokémon Horizons: The Series

In Pokémon Horizons: The Series, Mega Stones descend in front of the holder seemingly out of nowhere once the process starts, similar to Pokémon Journeys: The Series.

Mega Stones made their first appearance in Pokémon Horizons: The Series in Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part One), where a Lucarionite and Sablenite appeared when Roy and Ult Mega Evolved their Lucario and Sableye, respectively. During Episode: Mega Evolution, it was revealed that Ult's Sableye had found its Mega Stone while picking up trash, while Roy gained the Lucarionite upon catching his Lucario.

A Dragoninite appeared in Friends as Two, Me and You when Ult Mega Evolved his Dragonite for the first time.

In Mega Evolution - Roy, Master Mayonnaise was revealed to be in possession of several Mega Stones, including a Houndoominite and a Heracronite.

A Charizardite Y appeared in HZ122 when Friede Mega Evolved his Charizard. A Starminite was also seen in a flashback in the same episode, where Friede was shown Mega Evolving his Starmie.

In HZ130, Chalce was revealed to own a Medichamite, which she can use to Mega Evolve her Medicham.

In HZ131, Roy was given a Lucarionite Z by Master Mayonnaise. During their battle, Master Mayonnaise was also revealed to own a Hawluchanite, which he can use to Mega Evolve his Hawlucha.

Pokémon Origins

A Charizardite X (left) and a Key Stone (right) in Pokémon Origins

In File 2: Cubone, Mr. Fuji gave Red a Mega Stone and a Key Stone, although he did not tell Red what they truly were, merely saying that he would find out soon enough.

In File 4: Charizard, during Red's battle against Mewtwo, one of the stones was revealed to be a Charizardite X that came 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 by Red.

Pokémon Evolutions

Mewtwo's Mega Stones in Pokémon Evolutions

In The Discovery, Green was shown to be in possession of a Mewtwonite X, a Mewtwonite Y, and a Blastoisinite. She used the last one to Mega Evolve her Blastoise during her battle against Elaine, and ended up giving the first two to her after being defeated by her.

POKÉTOON

A Gardevoirite appeared in Another Day with Gardevoir, worn by Yugo's Gardevoir on a hair clip.

An Altarianite appeared in PT20, given to a wild Swablu on a bow by Rene. Its true nature was revealed later when the now-evolved Altaria performed together with Kamina.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

A Kangaskhanite in Pokémon Adventures

X & Y arc

Due to Mega Evolution being a relatively unknown phenomenon, the Mega Stone concept gradually developed. Trevor was not aware of the Mega Stone that X's Kanga possessed until They Have a Flare for a Li'l Kanga-Napping, when he found it in Kanga's pouch. In What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes, Trevor and X proved that Kanga's Mega Stone had no effect when taken out of Kanga's pouch and placed with X's Chespin. In Overthrowing a Tyrunt, Trevor and X became aware of different Mega Stones and their names when the Team Flare Grunt they were fighting mentioned the Kangaskhanite and Manectite explicitly. Trevor and X combined their skills to defeat the grunt in battle and steal a list of Mega Stones that he had supposedly compiled.

  • Korrina's Lucario possesses a Lucarionite, allowing him to Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario.
  • Gurkinn's Heracross wears his Heracronite around his horn.
  • Diantha's Gardevoir wears its Gardevoirite around its head.
  • Lysandre's Gyarados possesses a Gyaradosite, which a Team Flare grunt successfully dispatched to Malva.
  • X's Élec possesses a Manectite, which is kept in a patch of fur on his chest. Élec was motivated to seek his Mega Stone after witnessing Kanga and Li'l Kanga Mega Evolve during a battle in the Prism Tower.
  • X's Garma possesses a Gengarite, which is kept in a patch of fur under his jaw.
  • Tierno and Shauna found multiple Mega Stones while looking for a Pinsirite and Absolite for X's Rute and Y's Solsol. After some searching, they successfully found the correct Mega Stones and gave them to X and Y.
  • X's Salamè possesses a Charizardite X, which he keeps on the tip of his tail, hidden inside of the tail's flame. Blue's Charizard possesses a Charizardite Y, which is also kept hidden inside of the flame on the tip of his tail. Both Charizard combined in their respective Mega Evolutions to defeat Xerosic, who claimed that Team Flare found no proof that a Charizard Mega Evolves, let alone into two different forms.
  • Blaine possesses both a Mewtwonite Y and Mewtwonite X, which he can use to Mega Evolve Mewtwo into either of its Mega Evolutions.

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc

The Mega Stones appear or are mentioned in the following chapters:

  • In Latias Flies, Latios revealed that he and Latias have obtained their respective Mega Stones.
  • In Claydol Unleashes, it was revealed that Steven had already found the Mega Stones for Blaziken, Swampert, and Sceptile for Sapphire, Ruby, and Emerald, respectively.
  • In Salamence Evolves, Zinnia used her Salamencite to Mega Evolve her Salamence during a battle against Ruby. Using Latios's Latiosite, Ruby Mega Evolved the Eon Pokémon into Mega Latios and defeated Mega Salamence.
  • In Blastoise Transforms, Red and Green were revealed to have respectively obtained the Venusaurite and Blastoisinite, sometime before following Maxie and Archie, who had obtained the Cameruptite and Sharpedonite, respectively. The two pairs of Trainers used the Mega Stones with their respective Pokémon to battle each other.
  • In PS616, Giovanni was revealed to have obtained a Beedrillite, using it to Mega Evolve his Beedrill as part of his explanation that the meteoroid threatening to destroy the world may be housing a Pokémon inside of it. The Meteor Village elder later offered Sapphire a Gardevoirite and Galladite, commenting how matching her Gallade and Ruby's Gardevoir are. Ruby and Sapphire later used these Mega Stones to Mega Evolve Rara and Kirly during a brief battle against each other.
  • In Omega Alpha Adventure 21, after destroying the Grand Meteor Delta, Ruby had Hoopa find a Diancite for Diancie to use in the Pokémon Contest Spectacular, allowing Ruby to Mega Evolve Diancie for his and Sapphire's performance.

Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King

In Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King, which is centered around Mega Evolution, several characters have Mega Stones in their possession. Akira owns both a Charizardite X and a Charizardite Y, Koji owns a Garchompite, and Taichi has an Ampharosite.

Trivia

  • The design of the Mega Stones appears to be based on a common type of marble, called a toothpaste marble.
  • The only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving that does not have a corresponding Mega Stone is Rayquaza.
  • Certain Mega Stones in Pokémon X and Y are only found in the game in which the corresponding Pokémon is not normally available, outside of the Friend Safari:
  • The Latiasite and Latiosite were only introduced officially in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, but were already programmed into Pokémon X and Y and, as such, can be transferred to them via trade.
  • Prior to the release of the Mega Dimension DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, an internal file in the base game referred to IDs of the nonexistent Heatranite, Darkranite, and Zeraorite, indicating that they were implemented into the base game, but got cut at some point.
    • Additionally, the internal item IDs of the three aforementioned Mega Stones are grouped with the new Mega Stones in base-game Pokémon Legends: Z-A, rather than with the Mega Stones introduced in Mega Dimension.
      • This unusual ordering can be seen in-game, namely by ordering the Mega Stones satchel pocket by type order, in which the three aforementioned Mega Stones will be listed before the others introduced in Mega Dimension.

Naming convention

A Mega Stone's name is formed by adding a suffix to the Pokémon's name. The typical pattern is to use "-ite" when the last letter before the suffix is a consonant, and "-nite" when it's a vowel. Other endings include "-inite" for Blastoise, Houndoom, and Scrafty, "-rite" for Baxcalibur, and "-tite" for Glalie. In some cases, the final letters of the Pokémon's name are dropped.

  1. Emma: "Professor Sycamore's theory was that Mega Stones formed three thousand years ago... when certain stones were irradiated by the light—the energy of the Legendary Pokémon—that was fired from the ultimate weapon. AZ nodded when he heard that. According to him, that's why we've been finding new types of Mega Stones recently. After all, the ultimate weapon was fired again five years ago..." (Pokémon Legends: Z-A)
  2. Zinnia: "It was in such a time that a great many meteoroids poured from the darkness of space, from a place higher even than the heavens. And the meteoroids fell in their multitude upon a waterfall that had long been home to a tribe of Dragon-type-Pokémon users... [...] The meteors shone with a rainbow brilliance, as if some great life was held within." (Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire)
  3. Zinnia: "The Meteorites that should lie within Rayquaza's great body...aren't enough? Have these thousand years drained them of their power?" (Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire)
  4. Jett: "We had asked AZ to create [a Mega Stone specific to Magearna] for us, but since that will unfortunately no longer be possible... We will have our team here at Quasartico Inc. produce the stone." (Pokémon Legends: Z-AMega Dimension)
  5. Scientist, Devon Corporation: "It appears that within Rayquaza's body resides an organ with the same power as a Mega Stone. [...]. We believe Rayquaza usually inhabits the stratosphere, where its instincts prompt it to consume small meteoroids that fall into the atmosphere. The meteoroids merge with Rayquaza's internal energy to create an effect similar to a Mega Stone. We believe that, thanks to its mikado organ, Rayquaza can undergo its own Mega Evolution [...]." (Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire)
