'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a transformation affecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Mega Evolutions are identified by having "Mega" in front of their name.
'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a temporary transformation introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is present in the [[Generation]] {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}} [[core series]] games, and is set to reappear in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. In its core series absence, it has remained usable in multiple {{spin-off games}}, such as {{pkmn|GO}}, {{pkmn|Masters EX}}, and {{pkmn|UNITE}}.
 
[[Korrina]], the Gym Leader of [[Shalour City]], is said to know secrets about Mega Evolution. The [[Tower of Mastery]] is also related to Mega Evolution. According to a [[Kalos]] legend, the first Pokémon to have been Mega Evolved was a {{p|Lucario}}. However, according to [[Zinnia]]'s grandmother in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{p|Rayquaza}} was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve; Mega Evolution was first discovered by the first meeting of humanity and Rayquaza.
 
==Mega Evolving==
{{incomplete|section|Mega Rayquaza}}
[[File:Tretta Mega Evolution icon.png|thumb|150px|The Mega Evolution sigil, as seen in {{g|Tretta}}]]
In order to Mega Evolve, the Pokémon must be holding the appropriate [[Mega Stone]], with the exception of {{p|Rayquaza}} which is only required to know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, and its Trainer must have a [[Key Stone]]. [[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes that even with the Mega Stone and the respective item to resonate with the stone, Mega Evolution cannot be achieved if there is not a strong bond between Trainer and Pokémon.


Once per battle, only a single Pokémon for each Trainer may Mega Evolve. Switching the Mega Evolved Pokémon out will not dissolve a Mega Evolution. A Mega Evolved Pokémon can only revert back to its original state upon [[fainting]] or the conclusion of the battle. If a Mega Evolved Pokémon faints, but is later revived, that Pokémon cannot obtain a Mega Evolved state again for the remaining duration of the battle. Trainers on the same team during a [[Multi Battle]] will each be able to Mega Evolve once during the battle.
There are currently 46 species of Pokémon that are capable of Mega Evolution, and there are currently 48 different Mega Evolutions.


Mega Stones cannot be taken via {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Trick}}, or {{m|Switcheroo}}. Abilities such as {{a|Magician}} and {{a|Pickpocket}} will fail to snatch the Mega Stone from its holder. If used by the holder, moves such as {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Switcheroo}} will always fail. {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} also have no effect, and will not prevent a Pokémon from using its Mega Stone to Mega Evolve. Using {{m|Knock Off}} against a Pokémon holding its respective Mega Stone will not remove the item, nor will Knock Off's added effect of increased power on the turn it removes an item be granted. Likewise, Mega Stones also cannot be given to or taken by their respective species using any of the aforementioned moves or abilities.
==Terminology==
'''Mega Evolution''' is described as a phenomenon<ref>{{p|Roaring Moon}}'s [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] [[Pokédex]] entry: ''"According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region."''</ref> as well as the transformed Pokémon. The related verb is '''Mega Evolve'''.


A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve while shifting position in a Triple Battle, or during the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither Volatile nor Non-volatile [[Status condition]]s such as paralysis, sleep, and infatuation will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, and even if they result in the Pokémon losing that turn, the Mega Evolution will occur regardless.
The '''Mega Evolved''' Pokémon are identified by having "'''Mega'''" in front of their name, such as Mega {{p|Altaria}} or Mega {{p|Ampharos}}. In the case of {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, each of them has two Mega Evolutions with either the letter X or Y after the species name: Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, Mega Mewtwo X, and Mega Mewtwo Y. However, X and Y's demo called Mega Mewtwo Y simply "Mega Mewtwo."


Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order, so a Pokémon with a lower speed stat than their opponent will still go after them on the turn of Mega Evolution, even if their Mega Evolution's speed stat would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon who lose speed from Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, speed and turn order will be calculated normally on every turn afterwards. All other stat changes and type changes of a Mega Evolution will take effect immediately and damage calculation will proceed as usual. (A Pokémon whose Mega Evolution possesses a lower Defense stat, for example, will take greater damage from Physical attacks on the turn of Mega Evolving.)
Where "Mega Evolved" is used as an adjective for the word "Pokémon", it is rendered as "'''Mega-Evolved''' Pokémon", with a hyphen between the words.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/elevate-heroic-hoenn-pokemon-with-mega-evolution Elevate Heroic Hoenn Pokémon with Mega Evolution], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Shuffle-Launch-Announced-New-Pokemon-Discovered-in-Pokemon-Ome Pokémon Shuffle Launch Announced, New Pokémon Discovered in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire], Press release, [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/uk/strategy/a-guide-to-mega-evolution-in-pokemon-go A Guide to Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref>
 
Changes in a Pokémon's Ability will also take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} with Speed Boost will not gain a boost in speed at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but its biting moves such as {{m|Crunch}} will be boosted Strong Jaw, Mega Sharpedo's ability.
 
Mega Evolution can also occur during [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].

==Effects==
A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon except for Mega Alakazam has a base stat total 100 points higher than that of its base form. Mega Alakazam only has a base stat total 90 points higher than its total as Alakazam (but its base stat total is 100 higher than that of Alakazam prior to Generation VI).
 
Since movement order is determined before any moves are used (except changes due to {{m|Quash}} and {{m|After You}}), the Pokémon's new Speed or Ability will not affect movement order on the turn during which it Mega Evolves.

[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|240px|Blaziken Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]
===History===
The history and origins of Mega Evolution are shrouded in mystery and apparent contradictions, with different characters and groups having their own beliefs on where the phenomenon originated. For instance, [[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes Mega Evolution originates from special stones, possibly [[Evolution stone]]s, that were irradiated by the light of {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]] 3,000 years ago. Despite this, Sycamore additionally claims that Mega Evolution is a new type of [[Evolution]], and that the phenomenon only occurs in the [[Kalos]] [[region]].<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]:''"It's only a hypothesis, but I think the bond between Pokémon and Trainer is the key to this new [[Evolution]]. But what is this bond, exactly? And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the Kalos region? There's still so much we don't know..." ([[Pokémon X and Y]])''</ref> Additionally, Sina, Sycamore's assistant who is in [[Alola]] on his behalf, makes claim that it is mysterious to be talking about Mega Evolution so far away from Kalos.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"It's so mysterious... to be talking about Mega Evolution here, in a [[region]] so far away from [[Kalos]]..." ([[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]).''</ref>
 
However, the [[Draconid people]], an ancient tribe from the [[Hoenn]] region that worship {{p|Rayquaza}}, believe that Mega Evolution originates from Rayquaza and various meteorites that rained down upon the Hoenn region thousands of years ago.
 
According to knowledge passed down by the Draconids, during the long-lost primal age of Hoenn, one of the many disasters that struck the region were numerous meteorites that rained from space and landed in the home of the Draconids, [[Meteor Falls]], with these meteorites glowing a rainbow brilliance, not unlike the description of a [[Key Stone]], which attracted Rayquaza and led to it putting an end to the disasters and restoring peace.
 
One thousand years later, disasters befell the region once more, most notable was a massive meteorite described with boundless brilliance and directly compared to a Key Stone, that bore deep into the ocean and created what would eventually come to be the location of [[Sootopolis City]]; with the impact cracking the ground and releasing a wave of primal energy, causing {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} to awaken once more in their [[Primal Reversion|thirst for this power]]. This led the people to wish for Rayquaza to appear once more and save them, as it had done in the past, and once Rayquaza did appear, the people fell to their knees and wished for salvation, causing a great change to overtake Rayquaza as it Mega Evolved, with it using this power to defeat Groudon and Kyogre once again.
 
While the knowledge of the Draconids implies Rayquaza was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve, an old [[Kalos]] legend from the [[Tower of Mastery]] tells of a Trainer and {{p|Lucario}} arriving in the region long ago, with the pair discovering two strange stones and subsequently leading to the world's first Mega Evolution.
 
The usage of Mega Evolution unleashes a massive amount of energy, as mentioned by [[Professor Cozmo]], which itself is implied to have a direct connection, if not outright be a Pokémon's own life force, as it's mentioned by [[Lysandre]] that Professor Sycamore believes Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once that can't be achieved via regular Evolution; this is coupled with [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]'s{{sup/6|AS}} attempt at causing a rocket filled with [[Infinity Energy]] to explode, with Matt outright claiming it'd be like Mega Evolving the rocket.
 
While [[Steven Stone]] claims what exactly Mega and Key Stones are is a mystery, [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], and the events of the [[Delta Episode]] show that meteorites contain their own latent power and under the right conditions can be turned into either Mega or Key Stones. This is directly demonstrated in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, where the [[Meteorite]] slowly changes to resemble a Mega Stone over the course of the game, before it's eventually consumed by Rayquaza during the [[Delta Episode]]. While this allows the [[Legendary Pokémon]] to Mega Evolve without technically holding the stone, it's implied by [[Zinnia]] that Mega Stones, or at least the meteorites that fuel Rayquaza's Mega Evolution, eventually lose their power.
 
Similarly to Mega Stones, Key Stones can also be found in certain locations, such as Meteor Falls, where Matt found his.
 
In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], [[Colress]] questions whether or not [[Z-Power]] can surpass the Mega Ring.<ref>Colress: ''"[[Z-Power]]... Is it the true potential that I seek? Does it surpass the [[Mega Ring]]?" ([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])''</ref> [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] directly imply that the two are similar due to the Trainer-Pokémon relational bond.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"You know, when you think about it, the [[Z-Power Ring]] helps the feelings of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} reach their Pokémon so it can use its [[Z-Move]], right? It only follows that it should be able to achieve Mega Evolution, too!"'' ([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])</ref>
 
===In battle===
In the [[core series]] games, Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player simply needs to have the required Mega Stone in their bag, since there is no held item feature. Although some most media describes that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their trainer is needed, neither [[Friendship]] or [[Affection]] is necessary to Mega Evolve in the games.
 
A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega Alakazam in Generation VI) has a base stat total 100 points higher than that of its base form
 
In any battle, each Trainer may Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal move, but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.
 
A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as paralysis, sleep, and infatuation will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to move that turn.
 
Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. If they would move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, the moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. The move {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, and Knock Off's power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.
 
Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in Speed at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.
 
A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon by copying another Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The restriction of only one Mega Evolution per battle does not apply to transformed Pokémon.
 
====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order. A Pokémon with a lower Speed than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon who lose Speed from Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.
 
Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base Defense stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before.
 
Likewise, even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.
 
When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the player activating the Mega Evolution with their [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.
 
====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority.
 
{{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it holds a [[Z-Crystal]].
 
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], as the [[Held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.
 
====Generation IX====
Mega Evolution is set to return in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], after six years of absence.
 
===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a Contest Spectacular]]
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.
 
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is no longer in the player's game.

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon instead consumes [[Mega Energy]] to undergo a temporary Mega Evolution.
 
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Masters)}}
Certain [[sync pair]]s can Mega Evolve their Pokémon by performing a [[sync move]] in Pokémon Masters EX since the game's launch.
 
===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
{{main|Mewtwo (Unite License X)}}
{{main|Mewtwo (Unite License Y)}}
{{p|Mewtwo}} can become [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|Mega Mewtwo X]] or [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mega Mewtwo Y]]. This is facilitated by its {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]], which has a Mega gauge which is filled by using [[basic attack]]s and {{UNITE|move}}s on members of the opposing team. If the gauge is full, and Mewtwo is at least [[Level]] 5, it will Mega Evolve.
 
Unlike in the [[core series]], Mewtwo can only be Mega Evolved for a set amount of time, delineated by the Mega gauge draining back to empty, after which it returns to being a normal Mewtwo. However, Mewtwo can refill its Mega gauge to Mega Evolve multiple times in the same battle. When Mega Evolved, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y have different basic attacks and increased stats compared to Mewtwo.
 
Starting from version  1.14.1.2, Mewtwo spends some of the [[Aeos energy]] it is holding when it Mega Evolves. The Mega Evolution will last longer if Mewtwo uses up more Aeos energy.
 
There are two [[Unite License]]s for Mewtwo. While both of them allow for using Mewtwo in a [[Unite Battle]], each one has separate characteristics. Only the Unite License X one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X,  while the Unite License Y one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y.

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.
 
Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.
 
Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.
 
===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[File:Meteorite Shuffle.png|link=]] [[Meteorite]]). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:
* Defeating a Pokémon's Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle, usually at the end of each {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage|main stage area}}.
* Completing certain objectives on [[Mission Card]]s.
* Reaching certain {{OBP|Trainer rank|Shuffle}}s by catching several different species of Pokémon.
* Achieving a high rank in a [[competitive stage]].
* Clearing certain milestone stages in an [[escalation battle]].
 
The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge. This is filled by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, or by matching Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost}}({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost+|+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost++|++}}) {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The maximum amount of icons needed to fill the gauge can be permanently decreased by using [[File:Mega Speedup.png|20px|link=]] Mega Speedup {{DL|List of items in Pokémon Shuffle|Enhancements}}, with each Pokémon having a different maximum amount of Mega Speedups they can take.
 
Once a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its skill is replaced by its Mega Effect for the remainder of the battle. Mega Effect varies between Pokémon.
 
===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.
 
Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.
 
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{Incomplete|section|Information for Stat modifiers while Mega Evolved}}
 
====[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]====
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[File:MDBag Awakening Emera VI Sprite.png]] [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.
 
A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Miscellaneous status conditions|Berserk mode}}. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its regular attack will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.
 
Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.
 
Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.
{{-}}
 
====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]====
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and in this game is achieved by eating an Empowerment Seed. Mega Evolved Pokémon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status: linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups. Compared to the Awakened status, the only additional bonus Mega Evolution grants is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.
 
As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.
 
Some bosses will also undergo Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion:
* During {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will Mega Evolve randomly into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.
* Similarly, {{p|Groudon}} (during its rematch) and {{p|Kyogre}} (during its boss fight) will undergo Primal Reversion once below half of their total health.
 
===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Furthermore, murals can be solved one tile at a time to display {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}'s Primal Reversions (however, murals do not require the Mega Pencil).
 
Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.


===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{p|Lucario}} was seen Mega Evolving in the announcement trailer. How it operates is not known at this time.
{{pokken|Lucario}}, {{pokken|Garchomp}}, {{pokken|Gardevoir}}, {{pokken|Gengar}}, {{pokken|Charizard}}, {{pokken|Blaziken}}, {{pokken|Sceptile}}, {{pokken|Scizor}}, {{pokken|Blastoise}}, {{pokken|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.
 
In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.


==In the anime==
On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
Multiple Mega Evolutions have been featured in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
* The first Mega Evolution in the anime was featured in ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクト ミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref>

Another Mega Evolution was featured in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]].

{{OBP|Red|Origins}}'s Charizard was shown Mega Evolving into Mega Charizard X in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'' during Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, thanks to the Charizardite X and Key Stone given to him by [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[PO02|an earlier episode]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
===In the Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King manga===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
In [[Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.
At first, Mega Evolution was portrayed as a relatively unknown phenomenon, known only to [[Gurkinn]] and his Successors. Since then, it became apparent that [[Team Flare]] were also after the power of Mega Evolution, with one member even compiling a list of [[Mega Stones]] that they discovered. Simultaneous Mega Evolutions can also be accomplished by a Trainer, as long as they have a Key Stone for each Pokémon they are Mega Evolving. However, doing so will cause severe mental stress on the Trainer, and they will be unable to focus on anything other than a single target until the Mega Evolution is undone.
*When [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*When X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
*In [[Lysandre Café]], [[Diantha]] had her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir to make Lysandre back off from attacking {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.
*The Mega Evolutions of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}} and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos when Gurkinn explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In the subsequent chapter, Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*During Korrina's succession ceremony, [[Gurkinn's students|three Successors]] demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Alakazam}} respectively.
*While visiting [[Lumiose City]], X met an {{p|Electrike}}, which led him to a [[Manectite]], evolving into {{p|Manectric}} in the process. Later, Manectric joins X's team, Mega Evolving into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*During a battle against [[Team Flare]], Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} protected X from [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}. It helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. It was later given it to X, at which point he nicknamed it Garma. Garma has a Gengarite, which allows X to Mega Evolve it into Mega Gengar.
*While confronting Essentia, X's Rute and Y's Solsol are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve into Mega Pinsir and Mega Absol respectively.
*Both X's [[Salamè]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.
*After reuniting with [[Blaine]], {{adv|Mewtwo}} gained the ability to Mega Evolve into both Mega Mewtwo X and Y. Due to their bond, Mewtwo is able to Mega Evolve more than once per battle.
*[[Gurkinn's students]] Mega Evolved their {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Banette}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} for Trevor to study.
 
===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
The role of Mega Evolution was diminished but its accessibility continued to be confined to a selected number of Trainers.
*In ''[[PS597|Latias Flies]]'', {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were shown learning how to Mega Evolve their Pokémon from [[Ultima]]. Sapphire and Emerald were seen mastering it in ''[[PS599|Salamence Evolves]]'', where they Mega Evolved their respective first partner Pokémon, [[Chic|Blaziken]] and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}.
*In ''[[PS598|Claydol Unleashes]]'', Ruby was able to successfully Mega Evolve Latios into Mega Latios, allowing them to [[soaring in the sky|soar into the sky]]. He soon arrived at the [[Sky Pillar]], where he met and battled [[Zinnia]], who used her Mega {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} against Mega Latios.
*In ''[[PS602|Hoopa Distorts]]'', {{Steven}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} into Mega Metagross with his Mega Stickpin.
*In ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', [[Jinga]] of the [[Draconid people]] Mega Evolved his Slowbro into Mega Slowbro in his battle against Ruby.
*In ''[[PS604|Goodra Spits]]'', Ruby Mega Evolved [[Mumu]] into Mega Swampert.
*In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] used their Mega Glasses and Mega Anchor to Mega Evolve their Camerupt and Sharpedo into Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}} respectively. In retaliation, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} Mega Evolved [[Saur]] and [[Blasty]] into Mega {{p|Venusaur}} and Mega {{p|Blastoise}} respectively to battle them.
*In [[PS611]], footage of Rayquaza Mega Evolving was seen.
*In [[PS616]], {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega Gallade and Mega Gardevoir respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.

Mega Evolution is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{Mega}}{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}}. They were added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|XY}} expansion as an evolution of Pokémon-EX cards. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn.
Mega Evolution is mainly featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Evolution Pokémon}}. Their names have {{Mega}} as a prefix and {{EX}} as a suffix. They additionally have a distinct stage of "MEGA". Naturally, these are also {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. They were added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|XY}} set as an evolution of Pokémon-EX cards. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link [[Trainer card (TCG)#Pokémon Tool|Pokémon Tool]] attached to it.

[[Atsushi Nagashima]], the game director for the TCG, has stated that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Pokémon-EX because it would be impractical to evolve a single Pokémon three times during a game, and implementing Mega Evolution in that manner would constrain deck-building.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-pokemon-cards-are-made/1100-6459450/ How Pokemon Cards Are Made | GameSpot]</ref> The team had considered restricting players to one Mega-Evolved Pokémon per deck, but rejected this idea, as they wanted to enable players to build decks based around Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140101195743/https://www.pokemon-card.com/blog/2013/12/000367.html クリエイター ～ゲームディレクター長島敦スペシャル対談～ | pokemon-card.com,] archived January 1st, 2014</ref>

* The only Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions are {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, which have two each and were introduced in [[Generation I]]. In both cases, the first ones to be revealed were the Y versions.
**Also, both of their Y versions both kept their original type, while both of their X versions changed their type.  
** In addition, both of their Y Mega Evolutions kept their original type(s), while both of their X Mega Evolutions changed or added their secondary type.
* {{p|Rayquaza}} is the only Pokémon that requires no [[Mega Stone]] to evolve into its Mega Evolution form. Instead, it is required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}} in order to Mega Evolve.
** Also, in both cases, the X Mega Evolution is more physically-oriented (with a higher Attack and/or Defense), while the Y Mega Evolution is more specially-oriented (with a higher Special Attack and/or Special Defense).
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon who can legally have a different held item while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off a Mega Evolved Pokémon after Mega Evolution.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to Mega Evolve in the core series games, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
* Of all the Mega Evolutions introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Glalie's is the only one to remain single-typed.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <[[Mega Stone]]> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the Meteorite for it to Mega Evolve.
** Although Rayquaza can learn Dragon Ascent in Generation VIII onward, it cannot Mega Evolve in those games.
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into {{g|X and Y}}; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their Mega Stones are not banned from trades between Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire and X or Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for [[Pokémon X and Y]] include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* Mega {{p|Altaria}} is the only Mega Evolved Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
* Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} are the only Mega Pokémon which have a [[signature Ability]].
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], overall twenty-two Mega Evolutions haven't appeared in the main {{pkmn|anime}}.

** Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Mega Aggron, and Mega Kangaskhan made their main series debut in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.
** Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}}, and Mega Altaria, made their main series debut in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
* No Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution has an exclusive [[Z-Move]].
* Due to Mega Evolution being absent from Generation VIII onward, this have affected the status of some Abilities:
** {{a|Delta Stream}}, {{a|Parental Bond}}, and {{a|Aerilate}} are currently unusable.
** {{a|Pixilate}} and {{a|Refrigerate}} became the current signature Ability of {{p|Sylveon}} and {{p|Amaura}} evolutionary line, respectively.
* Slowbro is the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
* The fully evolved [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].
* In contrast to the other [[Paradox Pokémon]], {{p|Roaring Moon}} and {{p|Iron Valiant}} bear resemblance to Mega Evolved forms of the Pokémon they are based on rather than the basic form.
* The [[Pokédex]] description for Roaring Moon in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] makes a reference to Mega Evolution.
* The lore behind Mega Evolutions remains inconsistent in how it affects the Pokémon who undergo it. In X and Y, it was stated to be the bond between a Trainer and Pokémon, and no ill effects are implied. In Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Pokédex makes it clear that Mega Evolution is harmful; however, in Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, the Pokédex goes back to the bond with a Trainer and harmless entries.

Mega redirects here. For Crystal's Meganium in Pokémon Adventures, which is known as Mega in Chuang Yi translations, see Megaree.
Mega Mewtwo Y vs Mega Lucario.

Mega Evolution (Japanese: メガシンカ Mega Evolution) is a temporary transformation introduced in Pokémon X and Y that affects certain Pokémon. It is present in the Generation VI and VII core series games, and is set to reappear in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. In its core series absence, it has remained usable in multiple spin-off games, such as GO, Masters EX, and UNITE.

There are currently 46 species of Pokémon that are capable of Mega Evolution, and there are currently 48 different Mega Evolutions.

Terminology

Mega Evolution is described as a phenomenon[1] as well as the transformed Pokémon. The related verb is Mega Evolve.

The Mega Evolved Pokémon are identified by having "Mega" in front of their name, such as Mega Altaria or Mega Ampharos. In the case of Charizard and Mewtwo, each of them has two Mega Evolutions with either the letter X or Y after the species name: Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, Mega Mewtwo X, and Mega Mewtwo Y. However, X and Y's demo called Mega Mewtwo Y simply "Mega Mewtwo."

Where "Mega Evolved" is used as an adjective for the word "Pokémon", it is rendered as "Mega-Evolved Pokémon", with a hyphen between the words.[2][3][4]

Blaziken Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken

History

The history and origins of Mega Evolution are shrouded in mystery and apparent contradictions, with different characters and groups having their own beliefs on where the phenomenon originated. For instance, Professor Sycamore theorizes Mega Evolution originates from special stones, possibly Evolution stones, that were irradiated by the light of XerneasX/YveltalY that was fired from the ultimate weapon 3,000 years ago. Despite this, Sycamore additionally claims that Mega Evolution is a new type of Evolution, and that the phenomenon only occurs in the Kalos region.[5] Additionally, Sina, Sycamore's assistant who is in Alola on his behalf, makes claim that it is mysterious to be talking about Mega Evolution so far away from Kalos.[6]

However, the Draconid people, an ancient tribe from the Hoenn region that worship Rayquaza, believe that Mega Evolution originates from Rayquaza and various meteorites that rained down upon the Hoenn region thousands of years ago.

According to knowledge passed down by the Draconids, during the long-lost primal age of Hoenn, one of the many disasters that struck the region were numerous meteorites that rained from space and landed in the home of the Draconids, Meteor Falls, with these meteorites glowing a rainbow brilliance, not unlike the description of a Key Stone, which attracted Rayquaza and led to it putting an end to the disasters and restoring peace.

One thousand years later, disasters befell the region once more, most notable was a massive meteorite described with boundless brilliance and directly compared to a Key Stone, that bore deep into the ocean and created what would eventually come to be the location of Sootopolis City; with the impact cracking the ground and releasing a wave of primal energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to awaken once more in their thirst for this power. This led the people to wish for Rayquaza to appear once more and save them, as it had done in the past, and once Rayquaza did appear, the people fell to their knees and wished for salvation, causing a great change to overtake Rayquaza as it Mega Evolved, with it using this power to defeat Groudon and Kyogre once again.

While the knowledge of the Draconids implies Rayquaza was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve, an old Kalos legend from the Tower of Mastery tells of a Trainer and Lucario arriving in the region long ago, with the pair discovering two strange stones and subsequently leading to the world's first Mega Evolution.

The usage of Mega Evolution unleashes a massive amount of energy, as mentioned by Professor Cozmo, which itself is implied to have a direct connection, if not outright be a Pokémon's own life force, as it's mentioned by Lysandre that Professor Sycamore believes Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once that can't be achieved via regular Evolution; this is coupled with CourtneyOR/Matt'sAS attempt at causing a rocket filled with Infinity Energy to explode, with Matt outright claiming it'd be like Mega Evolving the rocket.

While Steven Stone claims what exactly Mega and Key Stones are is a mystery, Archie, Maxie, and the events of the Delta Episode show that meteorites contain their own latent power and under the right conditions can be turned into either Mega or Key Stones. This is directly demonstrated in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where the Meteorite slowly changes to resemble a Mega Stone over the course of the game, before it's eventually consumed by Rayquaza during the Delta Episode. While this allows the Legendary Pokémon to Mega Evolve without technically holding the stone, it's implied by Zinnia that Mega Stones, or at least the meteorites that fuel Rayquaza's Mega Evolution, eventually lose their power.

Similarly to Mega Stones, Key Stones can also be found in certain locations, such as Meteor Falls, where Matt found his.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Colress questions whether or not Z-Power can surpass the Mega Ring.[7] Dexio and Sina directly imply that the two are similar due to the Trainer-Pokémon relational bond.[8]

In battle

In the core series games, Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a Key Stone and a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible Mega Stone. Only Rayquaza does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move Dragon Ascent. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the player simply needs to have the required Mega Stone in their bag, since there is no held item feature. Although some most media describes that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their trainer is needed, neither Friendship or Affection is necessary to Mega Evolve in the games.

A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different base stats, with the exception of HP, and can have a different Ability and type from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega Alakazam in Generation VI) has a base stat total 100 points higher than that of its base form

In any battle, each Trainer may Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal move, but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs before most actions except switching. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it faints or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of Sky Drop. Neither volatile nor non-volatile status conditions such as paralysis, sleep, and infatuation will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to move that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. If they would move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, the moves Bestow, Covet, Fling, Thief, Trick, and Switcheroo will fail and the Abilities Magician, Pickpocket and Symbiosis will not activate. The move Knock Off cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, and Knock Off's power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves Embargo and Magic Room and the Ability Klutz will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's Ability will take place immediately. A Sharpedo that normally has Speed Boost will not gain a boost in Speed at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as Crunch that turn, it will be boosted by Strong Jaw, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by Transform or Imposter) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon by copying another Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The restriction of only one Mega Evolution per battle does not apply to transformed Pokémon.

Generation VI

In Generation VI, performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order. A Pokémon with a lower Speed than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon who lose Speed from Mega Evolution, such as Garchomp. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base Defense stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move Gyro Ball considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before.

Likewise, even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as Prankster before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the player activating the Mega Evolution with their Mega Bracelet. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

Generation VII

In Generation VII, a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as Prankster before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority.

Rayquaza cannot Mega Evolve if it holds a Z-Crystal.

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, as the Held item mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

Generation IX

Mega Evolution is set to return in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, after six years of absence.

Outside of battle

A Gardevoir Mega Evolving in a Contest Spectacular

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Mega Evolution can also occur during the Talent Round of Pokémon Contest Spectaculars. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its appeal causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a Spectacular Talent. The Pokémon will remain Mega Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when summoned by the Eon Flute, LatiosOR or LatiasAS will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to soar in the sky. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is no longer in the player's game.

In the spin-off games

Pokémon GO

Main article: Mega Evolution (GO)

Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a Mega Stone, an eligible Pokémon instead consumes Mega Energy to undergo a temporary Mega Evolution.

Pokémon Masters EX

Main article: Mega Evolution (Masters)

Certain sync pairs can Mega Evolve their Pokémon by performing a sync move in Pokémon Masters EX since the game's launch.

Pokémon UNITE

Main article: Mewtwo (Unite License X)
Main article: Mewtwo (Unite License Y)

Mewtwo can become Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y. This is facilitated by its Pressure Ability, which has a Mega gauge which is filled by using basic attacks and moves on members of the opposing team. If the gauge is full, and Mewtwo is at least Level 5, it will Mega Evolve.

Unlike in the core series, Mewtwo can only be Mega Evolved for a set amount of time, delineated by the Mega gauge draining back to empty, after which it returns to being a normal Mewtwo. However, Mewtwo can refill its Mega gauge to Mega Evolve multiple times in the same battle. When Mega Evolved, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y have different basic attacks and increased stats compared to Mewtwo.

Starting from version 1.14.1.2, Mewtwo spends some of the Aeos energy it is holding when it Mega Evolves. The Mega Evolution will last longer if Mewtwo uses up more Aeos energy.

There are two Unite Licenses for Mewtwo. While both of them allow for using Mewtwo in a Unite Battle, each one has separate characteristics. Only the Unite License X one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X, while the Unite License Y one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Pokémon Shuffle

Main article: Mega Evolution (Shuffle)

Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective Mega Stone must be obtained (or in Rayquaza's case, the Meteorite Shuffle.png Meteorite). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting Support Pokémon will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge. This is filled by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, or by matching Pokémon with the Mega Boost(+, ++) Skills who are of the same type as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The maximum amount of icons needed to fill the gauge can be permanently decreased by using Mega Speedup.png Mega Speedup Enhancements, with each Pokémon having a different maximum amount of Mega Speedups they can take.

Once a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its skill is replaced by its Mega Effect for the remainder of the battle. Mega Effect varies between Pokémon.

Pokémon Rumble World

The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. Mega Stones for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the Red or Blue Orb is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon

Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon
Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode

Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an MDBag Awakening Emera VI Sprite.png Awakening Emera in a Dungeon. These Emeras can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png. Should it be given to Mewtwo or Charizard, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into Berserk mode. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its regular attack will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX

Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and in this game is achieved by eating an Empowerment Seed. Mega Evolved Pokémon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status: linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups. Compared to the Awakened status, the only additional bonus Mega Evolution grants is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if Mewtwo or Charizard Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Some bosses will also undergo Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion:

  • During Rayquaza's rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will Mega Evolve randomly into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.
  • Similarly, Groudon (during its rematch) and Kyogre (during its boss fight) will undergo Primal Reversion once below half of their total health.

Pokémon Picross

Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from Professor Tetra for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Furthermore, murals can be solved one tile at a time to display Groudon and Kyogre's Primal Reversions (however, murals do not require the Mega Pencil).

Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

Pokkén Tournament

Lucario, Garchomp, Gardevoir, Gengar, Charizard, Blaziken, Sceptile, Scizor, Blastoise, Mewtwo, and Shadow Mewtwo are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its Synergy power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the Dragon's Nest battle stage, Mega Rayquaza appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the Old Ferrum Town (Winter) battle stage, Mega Swampert appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

Pokémon the Series

Multiple Mega Evolutions have been featured in Pokémon the Series.

Pokémon the Series: Black & White

  • The first Mega Evolution in the anime was featured in Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening, where Mewtwo was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in Genesect and the Legend Awakened, once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the games, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a Mega Stone. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its manga adaptation referred to it as Mewtwo's Awakened Form (覚醒した姿).[9]

X & Y arc

At first, Mega Evolution was portrayed as a relatively unknown phenomenon, known only to Gurkinn and his Successors. Since then, it became apparent that Team Flare were also after the power of Mega Evolution, with one member even compiling a list of Mega Stones that they discovered. Simultaneous Mega Evolutions can also be accomplished by a Trainer, as long as they have a Key Stone for each Pokémon they are Mega Evolving. However, doing so will cause severe mental stress on the Trainer, and they will be unable to focus on anything other than a single target until the Mega Evolution is undone.

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc

The role of Mega Evolution was diminished but its accessibility continued to be confined to a selected number of Trainers.

In the TCG

Mega Evolution is mainly featured in the Pokémon Trading Card Game as Mega Evolution Pokémon. Their names have Mega as a prefix and EX as a suffix. They additionally have a distinct stage of "MEGA". Naturally, these are also Pokémon-EX. They were added as a new mechanic to the game in the XY set as an evolution of Pokémon-EX cards. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link Pokémon Tool attached to it.

Atsushi Nagashima, the game director for the TCG, has stated that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Pokémon-EX because it would be impractical to evolve a single Pokémon three times during a game, and implementing Mega Evolution in that manner would constrain deck-building.[10] The team had considered restricting players to one Mega-Evolved Pokémon per deck, but rejected this idea, as they wanted to enable players to build decks based around Mega Evolution.[11]

In Unified Minds and Cosmic Eclipse, two TAG TEAM Pokémon-GX were printed that feature Mega Evolved Pokémon as one of the two members of the tag team. These cards have no special mechanics outside of those which are part of the TAG TEAM mechanics.

The following is a list of cards mentioning or featuring Mega Evolved Pokémon in the Trading Card Game.

Trivia

  • According to Ken Sugimori in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, Flygon was intended to get a Mega Evolution in Pokémon X and Y, but the idea was later dropped due to him experiencing an artist's block.[12]
  • There is at least one Mega Evolved Pokémon of every type: Psychic has the most (with ten), while both Ice and Electric have the fewest (with two each).
  • Gardevoir and Gallade are the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that are in the same evolutionary line.
  • Only Pokémon which cannot evolve further are capable of Mega Evolution.
  • No Mega Evolved Pokémon receives an increase to its HP stat.
    • Mega Garchomp has the highest base HP stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon, at 108.
  • Mega Aggron and Mega Steelix are tied with Shuckle as having the highest base Defense stat of all Pokémon, at 230.
  • Mega Latias has the highest base Special Defense stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon, at 150.
  • Mega Alakazam and Mega Aerodactyl are tied as having the highest base Speed stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon, at 150.
  • With base stat totals of 780, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Rayquaza have the highest base stat totals of any obtainable Pokémon. Eternamax Eternatus has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon at 1125, but cannot be used by the player.
    • In addition, Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon at 194, and Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base Attack of all Pokémon at 190. Mega Mewtwo X also has the highest base stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, its Attack stat being boosted by 80 upon the process.
  • Sableye and Mawile have the lowest base stats totals of any Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution, at 380.
  • Several Mega Evolution Pokémon reduce some of their base stats to increase others, those being:
  • Aggron is the only dual-type Pokémon to become single-type upon Mega Evolving, going from Steel/Rock-type to pure Steel-type.
  • The only Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions are Charizard and Mewtwo, which have two each and were introduced in Generation I. In both cases, the first ones to be revealed were the Y versions.
    • In addition, both of their Y Mega Evolutions kept their original type(s), while both of their X Mega Evolutions changed or added their secondary type.
    • Also, in both cases, the X Mega Evolution is more physically-oriented (with a higher Attack and/or Defense), while the Y Mega Evolution is more specially-oriented (with a higher Special Attack and/or Special Defense).
  • Rayquaza is the only Pokémon that does not require a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve in the core series games, instead being required to know Dragon Ascent.
    • This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
    • It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to its Key Stone!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
    • In Pokémon Shuffle, Rayquaza needs the player to get the Meteorite for it to Mega Evolve.
    • Although Rayquaza can learn Dragon Ascent in Generation VIII onward, it cannot Mega Evolve in those games.
  • Mega Latias and Mega Latios are programmed into Pokémon X and Y; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their Mega Stones are not banned from trades between Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire and X or Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
  • The Japanese and Korean logos for Pokémon X and Y include the Mega Evolution sigil.
  • In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
  • Mega Altaria is the only Mega Evolved Pokémon with a unique type combination.
  • Mega Kangaskhan and Mega Rayquaza are the only Mega Pokémon which have a signature Ability.
  • If not counting movies or the Mega Evolution Specials, overall twenty-two Mega Evolutions haven't appeared in the main anime.
  • No Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution has an exclusive Z-Move.
  • Due to Mega Evolution being absent from Generation VIII onward, this have affected the status of some Abilities:
  • Slowbro is the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a regional form.
  • The fully evolved Kanto first partner Pokémon and Gengar are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and Gigantamax.
  • In contrast to the other Paradox Pokémon, Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant bear resemblance to Mega Evolved forms of the Pokémon they are based on rather than the basic form.
  • The Pokédex description for Roaring Moon in Pokémon Violet makes a reference to Mega Evolution.
  • The lore behind Mega Evolutions remains inconsistent in how it affects the Pokémon who undergo it. In X and Y, it was stated to be the bond between a Trainer and Pokémon, and no ill effects are implied. In Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Pokédex makes it clear that Mega Evolution is harmful; however, in Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, the Pokédex goes back to the bond with a Trainer and harmless entries.

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Mega Evolutions of Latias and Latios were officially added in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, but they were already programmed into Pokémon X and Y and as such players could trade their Mega Stones and use them in those games.
