Mega Stones explained: How do Mega Stones work in Legends: Z-A?

Mega Stones are required for Mega Evolving Pokémon in Legends: Z-A. Without one, your Pokémon will remain in their regular form no matter what you do.

It's important to note that you can only have one of each Mega Stone per save file. This means, while you can have multiple Pokémon with the ability to Mega Evolve, they must all be different Pokémon themselves; you can't, for example, have multiple Gengars with the ability to Mega Evolve.

To use a Mega Stone, you first need to ensure it's held by a Pokémon which can be done in two ways. The first is by selecting a Pokémon from your party and selecting the 'Give an item to hold' or 'Change held item' followed by 'Open Satchel' depending on whether a Pokémon is holding an item or not. After this, navigate to the 'Mega Stones' inventory slot before selecting the correct Mega Stone. This option can also be used for Pokémon in your Boxes.

There's also the 'Swap held items' option when selecting a Pokémon, which can be used to switch Mega Stones between Pokémon currently in your party.

Once a Pokémon is holding their Mega Evolution Stone, you can activate Mega Evolution if you have enough Mega Power. During a Rogue Mega Pokémon fight, Mega Power will drop as you attack the Pokémon in question. Outside of these fights, Mega Power is obtained by using a Pokémon's normal attacks.

After activating Mega Evolution, a Pokémon will stay in this state until you run out of Mega Power. When this occurs, they will return to their normal form. You can, however, swap the Pokémon out for another and have it retain its Mega Evolution form. Either way, once your current Mega Evolution has finished, you'll have to rebuild your Mega Power.

It's also worth keeping in mind that, outside of Mega Evolutions, Plus Moves can also use Mega Power. Use them wisely if a Mega Evolution is part of your battle tactics!
