Effect

In battle

If held by a Salamence, allows it to Mega Evolve into Mega Salamence 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 Salamence a Salamencite or remove a Salamencite from Salamence.

Outside of battle

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

Pokémon holding Salamencite in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire cannot be traded to Pokémon X and Y.
