Master Mega Evolution: All Mega Stone Locations in Pokémon Legends Z-A
The Key to Mega Power in Lumiose City
Pokémon Legends: Z-A places the power of Mega Evolution at the core of its gameplay. To unlock this temporary power-up, players must find the corresponding Mega Stone for each Pokémon. These vital items are scattered throughout Lumiose City and its Wild Zones. There are approximately 60 or more different Mega Stones to collect. Players can obtain them through three main methods: purchasing them, exchanging shards, or defeating powerful bosses.
The Stone Emporium: Your Shopping Destination
The Stone Emporium, located on Vernal Avenue near the Prism Tower, is a key vendor. This shop sells several Mega Stones for in-game currency (Poké Dollars). New stock unlocks as you progress through the main story.
Purchasable Mega Stones (Prices Vary):
- 50000 Poké Dollars: Gengarite, Medichamite, Abomasite, Scizorite
- 70000 Poké Dollars: Garchompite, Steelixite, Kangaskhanite
- 100000 Poké Dollars: Charizardite X, Charizardite Y, Blastoisinite
Quasartico Inc.: Mega Shard Exchange
Quasartico Inc., a corporate building in Lumiose City, offers another way to obtain these items. You must exchange Mega Shards, a collectible resource, for Mega Stones. Access to this exchange opens during Main Mission 10.
Mega Stone Exchange List (by Mega Shard Cost):
- 180 Mega Shards: Pidgeotite, Manectite, Houndoominite, Audinite, Lopunnite, Sablenite, Sharpedonite
- 240 Mega Shards: Gyaradosite, Lucarionite, Heracronite, Aerodactylite, Glalitite, Pinsirite, Galladite, Gardevoirite
- 360 Mega Shards: Alakazite, Drampanite, Aggronite, Chandelurite
Note: Some stones, like Eelektrossite and Excadrite, only become available for trade after completing Main Mission 15.
