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 theLegendary PokémonXerneasX/YveltalY (or bothZA) irradiating special stones, possiblyEvolution stones, whenAZ fired theultimate weapon for the first time 3,000 years ago; AZ himself supports this notion, further claiming that the recent firing of the ultimate weapon byLysandre inPokémon X and Y is the reason why new Mega Stones have been found as of the events ofPokémon Legends: Z-A.[1] Mega Stones also appear to have a connection, albeit not fully understood, to theAnistar CitySundial, as the light emitted by the sundial allows theMega Ring to react to underground Mega Stones.

InPokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Mega Stones, along withKey Stones, seem to have a strong connection to the meteoroids that rained down on theHoennregion millenia ago.Professor Cozmo andMatt found aGalladite and a Key Stone, respectively, inMeteor Falls, an area known for having been struck by meteors in the distant past;[2] even more notably, theMeteorite 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 unremarkablepebble given to theplayer byZygarde is actually revealed to be aZygardite during the climax of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

In theMega DimensionDLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, it is revealed that Mega Stones can be made out ofMega Shards, asQuasartico Inc.'s research team produced theMagearnite. According toJett, AZ also knew how to create a Mega Stone.[4]

Despite being the very first Pokémon to undergoMega 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). ADevon 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

Duringbattle, a Mega Stone can be activated while its correspondingPokémon is on the field. The stone must be held by the Pokémon or, inPokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! (which do not featureheld items), be in the possession of the Pokémon'sTrainer. The Pokémon's Trainer can use theirKey Stone to activate the Mega Stone at the start of a turn, causing the Pokémon to undergoMega 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 byTransform orImposter).

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

During aContest Spectacular, if a Mega Stone is being held by its corresponding Pokémon, the Pokémon'sCoordinator will activate it automatically if the Pokémon performs aSpectacular Talent.

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 inRayquaza's case, theMeteorite). 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 thePokémon List, though their icon is faded and theirtype, attack power, andSkill 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 theRed orBlue 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 aUnite 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

InPokémon the Series: XY, Pokémon wear Mega Stones using equipment similar to that which theirTrainers use to hold theirKey Stones. The equipment disappears while the Pokémon is in its Mega Evolved state.

InPokémon Journeys: The Series, Mega Stones descend in front of the holder seemingly out of nowhere once the process starts.

InOverthrowing a Tyrunt, Trevor and X became aware of different Mega Stones and their names when theTeam Flare Grunt they were fighting mentioned the Kangaskhanite and Manectite explicitly.

Trivia

  • The design of the Mega Stones appears to be based on a common type ofmarble, called a toothpaste marble.
  • The onlyPokémon capable ofMega Evolving that does not have a corresponding Mega Stone isRayquaza.
  • Certain Mega Stones inPokémon X and Y are only found in the game in which the corresponding Pokémon is not normally available, outside of theFriend Safari:
  • TheLatiasite andLatiosite were only introduced officially inPokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, but were already programmed into Pokémon X and Y and, as such, can be transferred to them viatrade.
  • Prior to the release of theMega Dimension DLC forPokémon Legends: Z-A, an internal file in the base game referred to IDs of the nonexistentHeatranite,Darkranite, andZeraorite, 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 Stonessatchel 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" forBlastoise,Houndoom, andScrafty, "-rite" forBaxcalibur, and "-tite" forGlalie. In some cases, the final letters of the Pokémon's name are dropped.

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 theLegendary Pokémon—that was fired from theultimate 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 ofDragon-type-Pokémon users... [...] The meteors shone with a rainbow brilliance, as if some great life was held within." (Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire)

  4. Jett:"We had asked AZ to create [a Mega Stone specific toMagearna] for us, but since that will unfortunately no longer be possible... We will have our team here atQuasartico Inc. produce the stone." (Pokémon Legends: Z-AMega Dimension)
  5. Scientist,Devon Corporation:"It appears that withinRayquaza'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 ownMega Evolution [...]." (Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire)
