Mega Evolution is the main feature in Pokémon Champions, and anyone who has played Pokémon Legends Z-A or used Mega Evolution knows how much this mechanic can turn a battle around. When a Pokémon Mega Evolves, it transforms into a new form that changes many of its qualities.
Since Mega Evolution is a key part of battles in Pokémon Champions, you’ll want to find Mega Stones for your favorite Pokémon and equip them to enable Mega Evolution during fights. Here’s what you need to know to get ready for Mega Evolutions in your next match.
### How to Obtain Mega Stones
You can get Mega Stones either through the Battle Pass or by buying them in the Frontier shop.
For the Season M-1 Battle Pass, there’s only one free Mega Stone, which is Dragoninite. All other Mega Stones require unlocking the Premium Battle Pass.
In the Frontier Shop menu, you’ll find the Mega Stones section, where every available stone is displayed. Each Mega Stone costs 2,000 VP.
You can also transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Home into Pokémon Champions, which sometimes grants you the corresponding Mega Stones. This method works for Pokémon like Chesnaught, Greninja, Delphox, and Floette transferred from Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
### How to Equip Mega Stones
Once you have a Mega Stone, you need to equip it to your Pokémon:
– Go to your Pokémon box and select the Pokémon you want to give a Mega Stone to.
– Choose “Give an item to hold.”
– Use the L or R buttons to scroll through options until you reach the Mega Stones.
– Select the appropriate Mega Stone to give it to your Pokémon.
Afterward, you’ll see the Mega Stone displayed next to your Pokémon in the team menu, indicating it’s equipped. When you head into battle, your Pokémon will be ready to Mega Evolve.
### How to Mega Evolve in Battle
During a battle, you’ll want to choose the right moment to Mega Evolve. When it’s your turn:
– Tap “Fight,” and in the options, you’ll see a prompt to press R to Mega Evolve.
– Press R, and your Pokémon will Mega Evolve into its new form.
Keep in mind, you can only Mega Evolve once per battle, so plan carefully when to use this powerful move.
