Effect

In battle

If held by a Metagross, the Metagrossite allows it to Mega Evolve into Mega Metagross if its Trainer has a Key Stone. A Trainer can only Mega Evolve one Pokémon per battle (or only have one Mega-Evolved Pokémon at any given momentZA).

As a Mega Stone, it is unaffected by item-negating effects (such as Embargo and Klutz). Item-manipulating effects (such as Trick and Fling) cannot give or remove a Metagrossite from Metagross.

Outside of battle

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

Any Pokémon holding a Metagrossite in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire cannot be traded to Pokémon X and Y.
