Mega Evolution
- Mega redirects here. For Crystal's Meganium in Pokémon Adventures, which is known as Mega in Chuang Yi translations, see Megaree.
Mega Evolution (Japanese: メガシンカ Mega Evolution) is a transformation method found only in the Kalos region. Mega Evolutions are identified by having "Mega" in front of their name.
In order to undergo a Mega Evolution, the Pokémon must be holding the applicable Mega Stone. The player must use their Mega Ring, which contains a Key Stone, to resonate with the Mega Stone held by their Pokémon to trigger Mega Evolution. Mega Evolution can only occur in battle and disappears after the battle is over or the Mega-Evolved Pokémon has fainted. Only one Pokémon may use Mega Evolution per battle, and cannot use it again even if it is somehow knocked out of its Mega-Evolved state.
Korrina knows secrets about Mega Evolution. The Tower of Mastery is also related to Mega Evolution in some way.
