A '''Mega Bracelet''' (Japanese: '''メガバングル''' ''Mega Bangle'') is a [[Key Item]] introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It is a [[Key Stone]] accessory that enables [[Mega Evolution]].

==In the core series games==
{{Steven}} gives the Mega Bracelet to the {{player}} on [[Southern Island]] after {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, holding its respective Mega Stone, joins the player.

The player character also wears a special Mega Bracelet during {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars}}. {{ga|Brendan}}'s is a '''Mega Cuff''' (Japanese: '''メガブレス''' ''Mega Bracelet''), a black band with a circle of large, connected red diamonds affixed to it, with the Key Stone embedded in the band; {{ga|May}}'s is a '''Mega Charm''' (Japanese: '''メガチャーム''' ''Mega Charm''), a chain of cream bows with the Key Stone embedded into a pink heart charm.

===Non-player character appearances===
* After the player has defeated the {{pkmn|Champion}}, their neighbor Brendan/May is revealed to have obtained a Mega Bracelet of their own, which they use in a post-credits battle on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}.
* {{tc|Secret Base Trainer}} avatars of player characters that have a Mega Bracelet will use it in battle if possible.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
On August 27, 2020, in conjunction with the release of Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO, the Mega Bracelet was added to the [[Style (GO)|Style Shop]]. However, unlike the core series games, they are not required to Mega Evolve a Pokémon; rather, they are merely for cosmetic purposes.
