These Mega Stones in Pokemon ZA are earned through battles in the main story with certain Pokemon.

  • Absolite (Mega Absol)
  • Slowbronite (Mega Slowbro)
  • Cameruptite (Mega Camerupt)
  • Victreebelite (Mega Victreebel)

  • Dragoninite (Mega Dragonite)
  • Starminite (Mega Starmie)
  • Tyranitarite (Mega Tyranitar)

These battles happen in a specific story order, so there's no way to skip ahead to the Tyranitarite early, sad to say.

Mega Stones from other story progression

Players will receive the corresponding Mega Stone for their first Pokemon Legends: Z-A starter Pokemon's final evolution – Meganiumite for Mega Meganium, Emboarite for Mega Emboar, and Feraligite for Mega Feraligatr – just by playing the game. You'll be able to obtain the other two that you don't receive separately, which we'll get to shortly.

Spoiler alert – you'll also obtain the Zygardite for Zygarde by completing the main story.

Mega Stones from Quasartico Inc

In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, you'll often see pink crystals on the ground and on buildings, which you can smash with Pokemon attacks to obtain Mega Shards. Collect enough of those, and you can trade them in at Quasartico Inc. – located in the north west of the map, straight to the left of Rouge Plaza and below Magenta Sector 9 – for Mega Stones for different Pokemon. You'll need to reach Chapter 10 of the game to unlock this merchant though!

More of these become available as you progress through the game, so be sure to keep checking back as you play. Below, you can find the eventual complete list.

  • Pidgeotite (Mega Pidgeot)
  • Manectite (Mega Manectric)

Certain Mega Stones can also be purchased from the Stone Emporium in the south of the map, straight down from Prism Tower in the middle. Here, you'll have to pay in actual in-game gold rather than Mega Shards, which can make for some pricey purchases. Again, more get added to the lineup as you progress, so keep checking back to see new stock.

  • Gengarite (Mega Gengar)
  • Medichamite (Mega Medicham)
  • Abomasite (Mega Abomasnow)

  • Charizardite Y (Mega Charizard Y – potentially only if you don't pick Charmander earlier in the game)
  • Blastoisinite (Mega Blastoise – potentially only if you don't pick Squirtle earlier in the game)

  • Feraligite (Mega Feraligatr – if you didn't pick Totodile as your starter)

So far, we know of three Mega Stones that'll only be available as rewards for participating in online ranked battles in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. This means they won't all be available straight away at launch, so keep that in mind when planning your team.

  • Greninjite (Mega Greninja – Pokemon Legends: Z-A Ranked Reward for season 1, starting October 16)
  • Delphoxite (Mega Delphox – Ranked Battles Season 2 promotion reward)
  • Chesnaughtite (Mega Chesnaught – Ranked Battles Season 3 promotion reward)

Mega Stones from DLC

  • Diancite (Diancie) – Mystery Gift

The first downloadable Mega Stone was a Diancite, added via the Mystery Gift function. If you want to know more, check out how to get the Pokemon Legends: Z-A Diancie here!

We already know that Pokemon Legends: Z-A is getting a DLC expansion titled Mega Dimension. There's currently no known release date, but we're aware of a couple of new Mega Evolutions in it already – Mega Raichu X and Y. We'll be sure to update this page when we have more details on how exactly to obtain those Mega Stones in the DLC.
