Mega Evolution has returned in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, with even more to unlock than ever before, and an array of different requirements are present before you can obtain them all.
Obtaining all the Mega Evolutions is a lengthy, but worthwhile, task in the bid to complete Mable’s Research Tasks, which provides the ultimate prize of a Shiny Charm, but you won’t be able to get them all until the post-game.
We’ve got all the requirements and Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A detailed in this guide.
Every Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Evolution & Unlock Requirements
Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A require obtaining a specific Pokémon’s Mega Evolution Stone, with several ways of obtaining them.
Many are locked behind story progression, with no way to jump ahead, while others can be obtained relatively early on, as long as you have enough cash or Mega Shards. Pokémon Legends: Z-A does make some even more difficult to obtain, however, locking them behind online ranked participation.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the many ways you can get Mega Evolution Stones in Pokémon Legends: Z-A
- Story Progression
- Stone Emporium
- Quasartico Mega Shard Exchange
- Mystery Gift Rewards
- Ranked Battle Rewards
