Mega Evolution
Discover the wonders of Mega Evolution—and harness its power in battle—in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
The Power of Mega Evolution
In Lumiose City, you’ll sometimes see Pokémon undergo Mega Evolution—a kind of Evolution that transcends standard Evolution. Effectively using Mega Evolution during battles can dramatically shift the odds of victory in your favor.





Turn the Tide of Battle with Mega Evolution

Mega Evolution goes beyond the limits of standard Evolution, imparting even greater power by temporarily unleashing a Pokémon’s hidden energy. Pokémon will change their appearance when they Mega Evolve—and certain ones may even change types—but they’re still your same trusty partners!

When Trainers have a strong bond with their Pokémon, a Key Stone worn by the Trainer resonates with a Mega Stone held by their Pokémon, allowing Mega Evolution to take place. Eventually, you’ll wear a Mega Ring with a Key Stone of your own embedded in it. Other Trainers you meet may wear their Key Stones in different ways.
