Pokemon Legends Z-A reintroduces players to the Mega Evolution mechanic, which allows select Pokemon to temporarily take on more powerful forms in battle.
In order to Mega Evolve a Pokemon, the player must have it hold its associated Mega Stone. Mega Stones in Pokemon Legends Z-A can be acquired through progressing the main story, as well as in special stone shops. You can find a guide to where each stone is located below:
20 Mega Stones are obtained by completing Main Story missions, mostly in battle with Rogue Mega Evolved Pokemon. Players will also receive the Mega Stone of their chosen starter Pokemon from AZ after completing Mission 10.
