Discover where to find every Mega Stone in Pokémon X and Y! Learn how to get them, when to find them, and which Pokémon they evolve.
Alright, so you've heard about Mega Evolution and want to know where to snag those powerful Mega Stones, right? It's super cool that certain Pokémon can transform mid-battle, but you'll need the right item for it. Each Mega Stone is tied to a specific Pokémon, and your buddy needs to be holding it for the Mega Evolution to even kick in. Remember, you can only Mega Evolve one Pokémon per battle, and it only lasts until the battle's over. Plus, some stones are version-exclusive, so if you need one from the other version, trading is your best bet – just make sure the Pokémon is holding the stone when you trade!
Getting your hands on these stones is a mix of things. Some people will just hand them over to you, which is always nice! But for others, you'll need to do a bit of exploring. After you've beaten the main story, you can actually upgrade your Mega Ring. This is key because it unlocks special times when Mega Stones will appear as little shiny sparkles on the ground. Keep an eye out between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM every night, according to your 3DS clock (that's 20:00 to 21:00). If a stone's location doesn't mention this time window, it means you get it from a person instead. Otherwise, happy hunting for those sparkles!
