A '''Key Stone''' (Japanese: '''キーストーン''' ''Key Stone'') is a stone that acts as a medium between a [[Pokémon Trainer]] and a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} holding a [[Mega Stone]] in order to make them [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. A Key Stone is typically embedded in a personal accessory. When the Key Stone is activated, the Pokémon's corresponding Mega Stone reacts to it, starting the process.

A '''Key Stone''' (Japanese: '''キーストーン''' ''Key Stone'') is a [[Key Item]] introduced in [[Generation VI]], which is used to allow a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} holding a [[Mega Stone]] to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Starting from [[Generation VIII]], it is unobtainable.


Before battle with a Trainer that can use Mega Evolution, the Key Stone accessory is often shown off. For Trainers that use VS sprites (such as [[Korrina]] and [[Diantha]]), often the Key Stone is clearly visible in the zoomed-in VS sprite. For Trainers that use 3D models (such as [[Lysandre]] and [[Zinnia]]), the camera often starts by focusing on the Key Stone before zooming out to show the full body. Some Trainers, such as {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} and {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}, have the Key Stone accessory visible on their 3D model, but not focused on. However, other Trainers, such as {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}, {{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}} and the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]], don't have visible Key Stones at all. {{tc|Secret Base Trainer}}s have no visible indication of possessing a Key Stone.
When the Key Stone is activated, the Pokémon's corresponding Mega Stone reacts to it, starting the Mega Evolution process. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s typically keep their Key Stone inside a personal accessory, such as a [[Mega Ring]], [[Mega Bracelet]], [[Z-Ring]], or [[Z-Power Ring]].

===Player characters===
====Pokémon X and Y====
====Pokémon X and Y====
In {{g|X and Y}}, the player characters hold their Key Stones in a '''{{key|VI|Mega Ring}}''' (Japanese: '''メガリング''' ''Mega Ring''), a large black bracelet that {{ga|Calem}} and {{ga|Serena}} wear on their left wrist.
{{main|Mega Ring}}
In {{g|X and Y}}, the player characters hold their Key Stones in a [[Mega Ring]], a large black bracelet that {{ga|Calem}} and {{ga|Serena}} wear on their left wrist.


The possession of one Mega Ring is offered to the player and each of his or her friends, who have to pick the most deserving out of their group. The selection is quickly whittled down to two people: the player and {{ga|Serena}} or {{ga|Calem}} (depending on the gender of the player). Upon defeating their rival, the player must obtain the {{badge|Rumble}} at the [[Shalour Gym]] and then go to the top of the [[Tower of Mastery]] to receive the ring from [[Korrina]].

After the player has beaten their rival in [[Kiloude City]], [[Professor Sycamore]] will upgrade their Mega Ring at the [[Anistar City|Anistar Sundial]] by having the player touch the sundial. Once upgraded, the player can then find hidden Mega Stones around Kalos from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

===Non-player character accessories===
====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
Many non-player characters use different items to carry their Key Stones than the player characters do.
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player receives a '''Key Stone''' from {{ga|Blue}} at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in [[Pallet Town]] after earning seven [[Badge]]s and meeting {{ga|Trace}} in front of the [[Viridian Gym]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* The Key Stone items used by NPCs [[List of unobtainable items|exist within the data]] of [[Pokémon X and Y]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], but they do not have sprites and cannot be obtained in normal gameplay.
[[File:Bag unknown Sprite.png|thumb]]
* The Key Stone items used by NPCs [[List of unobtainable items|exist within the data]] of [[Pokémon X and Y]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. They have a sprite (a white question mark), but cannot be obtained in normal gameplay. They were programmed into the game because if not, NPCs wouldn't be able to Mega Evolve their Pokémon.
* In [[Generation VI]], before battle with a non-player character that can use Mega Evolution, the Key Stone accessory is often shown off. For Trainers that use VS sprites (such as [[Korrina]] and [[Diantha]]), often the Key Stone is clearly visible in the zoomed-in VS sprite. For Trainers that use 3D models (such as [[Lysandre]] and [[Zinnia]]), the camera often starts by focusing on the Key Stone before zooming out to show the full body. Some Trainers, such as {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} and {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}, have the Key Stone accessory visible on their 3D model, but it is not focused on. However, other Trainers, such as [[Courtney]], [[Matt]] and the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]], do not have visible Key Stones at all. {{tc|Secret Base Trainer}}s have no visible indication of possessing a Key Stone.

A Key Stone (Japanese: キーストーン Key Stone) is a Key Item introduced in Generation VI, which is used to allow a Pokémon holding a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve. Starting from Generation VIII, it is unobtainable.

When the Key Stone is activated, the Pokémon's corresponding Mega Stone reacts to it, starting the Mega Evolution process. Trainers typically keep their Key Stone inside a personal accessory, such as a Mega Ring, Mega Bracelet, Z-Ring, or Z-Power Ring.

In Pokémon X and Y, the player characters hold their Key Stones in a Mega Ring, a large black bracelet that Calem and Serena wear on their left wrist.

The selection is quickly whittled down to two people: the player and Serena or Calem (depending on the gender of the player). Upon defeating their rival, the player must obtain the Rumble Badge at the Shalour Gym and then go to the top of the Tower of Mastery to receive the ring from Korrina.

After the player has beaten their rival in Kiloude City, Professor Sycamore will upgrade their Mega Ring at the Anistar Sundial by having the player touch the sundial. Once upgraded, the player can then find hidden Mega Stones around Kalos from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

Trivia

Bag unknown Sprite.png
  • The Key Stone items used by NPCs exist within the data of Pokémon X and Y and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. They have a sprite (a white question mark), but cannot be obtained in normal gameplay. They were programmed into the game because if not, NPCs wouldn't be able to Mega Evolve their Pokémon.
  • In Generation VI, before battle with a non-player character that can use Mega Evolution, the Key Stone accessory is often shown off. For Trainers that use VS sprites (such as Korrina and Diantha), often the Key Stone is clearly visible in the zoomed-in VS sprite. For Trainers that use 3D models (such as Lysandre and Zinnia), the camera often starts by focusing on the Key Stone before zooming out to show the full body. Some Trainers, such as Calem/Serena and Brendan/May, have the Key Stone accessory visible on their 3D model, but it is not focused on. However, other Trainers, such as Courtney, Matt and the Hoenn Elite Four, do not have visible Key Stones at all. Secret Base Trainers have no visible indication of possessing a Key Stone.
