'''Electric rodents''' is a [[Appendix:Fan terminology|fan term]] referring to a group of {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} based on {{wp|rodent}}s.

This group is also referred to by fans as the '''{{p|Pikachu}} family''', '''Pikachu clones''', or '''Pikaclones''', though these terms are sometimes used to include other Pokémon such as {{p|Marill}} or {{p|Mimikyu}}, which are not {{t|Electric}} [[type]]s, but otherwise resemble Pikachu in design. An equivalent term used within the Japanese [[Pokémon]] fandom is '''{{ruby|電気袋組|でんきぶくろぐみ}}''' ''Electric Pouch Group'', referencing the electric pouches on these Pokémon's cheeks.

The terms "electric mice" and "electric mouse Pokémon" are used informally to describe this group in a post on the official [https://www.facebook.com/Pokemon.official.Singapore/posts/2502021336791447 Pokémon Singapore Facebook page], promoting the "[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/2019/12/191213_p02.html HOPPE DAISHŪGO]" collection of {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} merchandise. HOPPE DAISHŪGO can be translated as ''Great Gathering of Cheeks'', referencing the common trait these Pokémon have.

Pokémon art director and character designer [[Ken Sugimori]] acknowledged the concept of the recurring "electric rodents" theme in an interview published in Volume 201 of the ''Nintendo Dream'' magazine.<ref name=NDream>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> [[Atsuko Nishida]] was responsible for designing six of the electric rodents, namely {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}},<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref><ref name=GameFreak>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website]</ref> {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu,<ref>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon."

==List of electric rodents==
There are 13 Pokémon considered to be electric rodents, with every [[generation]] introducing at least one.

Design-wise, all of these Pokémon are designed to resemble {{p|Pikachu}},<ref name=NDream/> with big round heads, black or brown button-like eyes (except for {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, whose eyes are blue), and electric pouches on their cheeks. All are in the {{egg|Fairy}} and/or {{egg|Field}} [[Egg Group]]s, except for {{p|Pichu}} and certain special forms of Pikachu, which are in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} Egg Group. Additionally, all of these Pokémon have English names very close to being pure transliterations of their Japanese names. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], this group included the only Pokémon capable of learning {{m|Nuzzle}}, with {{p|Morpeko}} being the only member who cannot learn it. Most of the electric rodents have an [[Ability]] that gives them an immunity to {{type|Electric}} moves, such as {{a|Motor Drive}}, {{a|Lightning Rod}}, or {{a|Volt Absorb}}, with {{p|Dedenne}}, Alolan Raichu, Morpeko, and {{p|Pawmi}} being the exceptions (though Pawmi's evolved forms, {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}}, gain Volt Absorb as a possible Ability). Every electric rodent has a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]] of one male to one female, save for special forms of Pikachu and Pichu that are exclusively a single gender. Every electric rodent in {{g|Sleep}} also belongs to the Snoozing [[sleep type]], except for Pichu, whose sleep type is Slumbering.

{{p|Pachirisu}} is the only member of this group revealed to actually be biologically related to Pikachu's evolutionary line.<ref>[[Pokédex]] entry: ''A species related to the Pikachu line. [...]'' ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> {{p|Pawmi}} is the only one (aside from {{p|Pikachu}} itself) to have an evolutionary line, having three stages, mirroring Pikachu's—although Pikachu's evolutionary line includes a [[baby Pokémon]], while Pawmi's lacks one.

The Pawmi line, being introduced in [[Generation IX]], have yet to be directly grouped with the electric rodents officially, though they share the same design theme and other overall similarities. Alolan Raichu and other forms of the Pikachu line are also not typically depicted with this group.

Listed below are the 13 species included in this group, as well as Alolan Raichu, Mega Raichu X, and Mega Raichu Y.

==Similar Pokémon==
{{p|Marill}} and {{p|Mimikyu}} are often viewed as "Pikachu clones" by fans, although neither of them are {{t|Electric}} types.

Marill has similar design traits to {{p|Pikachu}}, being a cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Marill and Pikachu are also both in the [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Fairy]] [[Egg Group]], and were both initially the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary line before gaining a pre-Evolution in the next generation which is a [[baby Pokémon]] that evolves via [[friendship Evolution]]. Prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Marill was often referred to as "Pikablu" by fans, and it was erroneously referred to as such on the [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards|Topps trading cards for the first movie]]. However, Marill has never officially been acknowledged as related to the electric rodents.

{{p|Mimikyu}}'s design is directly inspired by Pikachu, and it is sometimes featured in official artwork showcasing these Pokémon. The Japanese web page for the "HOPPE DAISHŪGO" merchandise states: "よく見ると、でんきタイプではないポケモンが1匹、こっそり仲間入りしているね" (''"If you look closely, you'll see that one Pokemon that is not an Electric type has secretly joined the group."'') This references Mimikyu's behavior of pretending to be a Pikachu.

==In the games==
[[File:XY Battle BG Stickers.png|thumb|x150px|The "Stickers" battle menu background]]
{{p|Pachirisu}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon HeartGold, SoulSilver}}, and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet]] states "It's one of the kinds of Pokémon with electric cheek pouches", which likely refers to this group.

In {{g|X and Y}}, the [[Options/Battle BGs|"Stickers" battle menu background]] features all the members of the group that existed at the time.
{{right clear}}

==In animation==
These Pokémon are owned by several characters in the {{pkmn|animated series}}. {{p|Pichu}} is the only member of this group that isn't owned or cared for by any of the major characters of the animated series, though it is confirmed in the first episode of {{aniseries|JN}}, ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]'', that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used to be a Pichu before they met.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
In ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} own a number of these Pokémon: Ash owns a {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{an|Dawn}} owns a {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, {{an|Iris}} owns an {{p|Emolga}}, {{an|Bonnie}} cares for her brother {{an|Clemont}}'s {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, {{an|Sophocles}} owns a {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}}, and [[Goh]] owns a female {{TP|Goh|Raichu}} that evolved from a Pikachu. Additionally, [[James]] of {{TRT}} owns a {{TP|James|Morpeko}}, and while it is not considered part of this group, [[Jessie]] owns a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}. Ash's friend {{Tracey}} owns a {{TP|Tracey|Marill}}, though Marill has never been officially connected to this group.

Additionally, Ash's [[rival]] in [[Alola]], [[Hau]], and in [[Galar]], [[Marnie]], own {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu and Morpeko, respectively. Dawn's rival [[Ursula]] owns both {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}.

In ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', [[Friede]] owns a Pikachu named [[Captain Pikachu]], who mans the flying ship [[Brave Olivine]] with him; a wild {{DL|Rising Volt Tacklers|Pawmi}} also resides on the vessel. Additionally, {{an|Nemona}} owns a {{p|Pawmot}} that evolved from a {{p|Pawmo}}. In the [[Rising Again]] arc, [[Lacey]] owns a {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. In [[HZ138]], a [[Fake Rising Volt Tacklers|family of Trainers]] using the Pikachu evolutionary line appeared.

==Trivia==
*{{p|Emolga}} was the first electric rodent to be dual-[[type]]. After its introduction in [[Generation V]], all subsequent [[generation]]s have introduced dual-type electric rodents.
**Every unevolved dual-type electric rodent has a type immunity. Of these, {{p|Morpeko}} is the only one with an immunity to another electric rodent's type, being unaffected by {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}'s {{t|Psychic}} type.
**Alolan Raichu is the first dual-type electric rodent without any immunities. However, as the Psychic type was originally immune to {{type|Ghost}} [[move]]s in [[Generation I]], this means that {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} are the only electric rodents whose secondary type have never had any immunities at any point in time.
**{{p|Pawmi}} is the first single-type electric rodent since {{p|Pachirisu}}, being introduced five generations later.
**Pawmo and Pawmot are the only electric rodents to share a type combination ({{t|Electric}}/{{type|Fighting}}), and subsequently, to have a type disadvantage against multiple electric rodents instead of one, those being {{p|Emolga}}, {{p|Dedenne}}, and Alolan Raichu. Due to being part Fighting-type, they are also the only electric rodents without a resistance to {{type|Flying}} moves.
*Pikachu is the only electric rodent to be a [[first partner Pokémon]] and to have a [[Gigantamax]] form, as well as to have an item unique to it (the [[Light Ball]]) and to have [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|a branched Evolution]].
*Raichu is the only electric rodent to have a [[regional form]] and to be capable of undergoing [[Mega Evolution]].
*Pichu is the only electric rodent to be a [[baby Pokémon]].
*Emolga is the only electric rodent without a weakness to {{type|Ground}} moves or a resistance to Electric-type attacks, due to being part Flying-type.
*Alolan Raichu and Pikachu are the only electric rodents with unique [[Z-Move]]s ({{m|Catastropika}} for Pikachu, {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} for [[Pikachu in a cap]], and {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}} for Alolan Raichu).
*{{p|Togedemaru}} is the only electric rodent with a double weakness (to Ground-type moves) and double resistances (to Flying and {{type|Steel}} attacks).
*Morpeko is the first electric rodent since Pikachu's [[evolution]]ary line to have a [[signature move]] ({{m|Aura Wheel}}). It would be followed by Pawmot's {{m|Double Shock}} in [[Generation IX]].
*Pawmi and Pawmo are the first electric rodents introduced since Pikachu to be capable of evolving.
*{{p|Cramorant}} is exclusive to [[The Teal Mask]] expansion in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet}}, while {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Violet}} instead features Morpeko. This choice may be due to Cramorant's unique form that involves holding a Pikachu in its mouth, linking both Pokémon to Pikachu in different ways.

'''Xerneas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼルネアス''' ''Xerneas'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Xerneas has two [[#Form data|forms]], which change depending on its status. When Xerneas is in a {{pkmn|battle}} or a [[Pokémon Contest]], it is in '''Active Mode''' and its horns are multicolor; otherwise, it is in '''Neutral Mode''' and its horns are cyan.

Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Yveltal}}, Xerneas was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.

Xerneas is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, appearing on its boxart. Xerneas, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.

==Biology==
[[File:716 Tree VI OD.png|thumb|185px|left|Xerneas's dormant form, the Tree of Life]]
Xerneas is a quadrupedal, stag-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with four pairs of antlers. Its coloration varies slightly depending on whether it is in Active Mode or Neutral Mode. Regardless of mode, its main body is always black with a blue stripe down its back and a short, bushy tail. Starting at its knees there is a blade-like trim around each leg, which forms a point under each hoof. There is an upside-down, V-shaped marking on its chest in the same color as the trim on its legs. Its head and neck are blue, and there are two large, tufts that extend onto its chest and curve upward. Its first pair of antlers extends onto its head and curves around the underside of its eyes. The eyes are black with X-shaped pupils. There is a short marking on top of its snout and an upward curving horn on each side of its head in place of ears.

Xerneas is said to represent life and rebirth. It has the power to share eternal life using its horns, which shine in seven colors. Xerneas can use its life energy to create vast forests and restore life to them. It can infuse both humans and Pokémon with energy and vitality. Notably, it can alter the rare [[Alpha Pokémon]] to enter a more powerful "Anomalous Alphas" state thanks to its life energy. According to [[Mable]], Xerneas can command an unlimited amount of life energy.<ref>[[Mable]]: "I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Because of this, she assumes that Xerneas could induce [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] in the presence of [[Mega Power]]. Xerneas is known to be drawn towards life energy being unleashed or affecting the ecosystem, such as the Mega Power emitted by [[Ange]]. It is highly respected by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] for its role in giving life. According to legend, Xerneas is known to have rescued wounded Pokémon during an ancient war. Both Xerneas and {{P|Yveltal}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Xerneas's power can also be used to power up machines such as the [[ultimate weapon]]. Its [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] can convert [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the ultimate weapon.<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Geomancy|absorb the energy around itself}} to strengthen itself through rainbow-colored lights.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Legendary Pokémon | X and Y (Archived)]</ref> According to research done by Mable, Xerneas's ability to affect life is mysterious to the point that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref>

The relationship between Xerneas and Yveltal can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As seen in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', if it exhausts too much life energy, it transforms into a tree and sleeps for 1,000 years. It was also shown capable of calming Yveltal should it get enraged. Xerneas has the power to revive those who have been petrified by Yveltal. However, as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. As shown in In the Pokémon Adventures manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Xerneas can [[Talking Pokémon|speak human language]] through telepathy. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Xerneas was shown making plants grow by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "The one who gives" due to its ability to give life. In Pokémon Adventures and in ''Pokémon the Series'', it has been referred to as "X".

Xerneas is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Geomancy}}. Prior to [[Generation IX]], it was also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Xerneas has two forms: Active Mode and Neutral Mode.

====Active Mode====
In Active Mode, its markings, antlers, and trim on its legs are pale gold. Its antlers have branches and bumps in many colors and there are multicolored spots on its back. Xerneas assumes this Mode during battle or when using its power. Xerneas is at full power when in Active Mode.

====Neutral Mode====
In Neutral Mode, its markings and antlers are instead pale blue and the embellishments on its antlers and spots on its back are a darker blue. Xerneas assumes Neutral Mode when not battling and traveling. This remains until it needs to use Active Mode.

===Form data===
Xerneas has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] (as well as its [[summary]] screen in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]]) and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and summary screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. According to the [[Pokédex]], Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.

In {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and {{g|GO}}, Xerneas does not have distinct forms programmed in. Instead, it assumes the appearance of its Active Form in battle[[Pokémon GO|'''{{color|{{GO color}}|GO}}''']]/during its attacking animations{{sup/9|ZA}} in a similar manner to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Form-like_transformations|form-like transformations]] and appears to be in Neutral Mode otherwise.

Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, it grows protrusions on its horns and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Xerneas (M17)]]=====
Xerneas debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It granted {{an|Diancie}} its {{a|Fairy Aura}}, which Diancie spent the entire {{pkmn|movie}} looking for. Later, it calmed down the awakened {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restored everything that Yveltal petrified. As a result, Xerneas transformed into a tree.

=====Other=====
Xerneas made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]''.

A Xerneas appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} asked for its help after {{p|Yveltal}} caused trouble upon his kingdom, including turning [[Aila]] to stone. Though it restored much of the damage Yveltal inflicted, it could not revive Aila, and thus left.

====Minor appearances====
A silhouetted Xerneas appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.

===GOTCHA!===
[[File:Calem Xerneas Evolutions.png|thumb|left|250px|Xerneas in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
A Xerneas briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

===Pokémon Evolutions===
A Xerneas appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', under the ownership of {{ga|Calem}}. He used it during a battle against [[Lysandre]], quickly defeating his {{me|Gyarados}}.

[[File:Xerxer Neutral Mode.png|thumb|left|170px|Xerneas in Neutral Mode in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Movie adaptations===
{{main|Xerneas (M17)}}
Xerneas appears in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of the first {{aniseries|XY}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===
[[Manabu Kadoo|Manabu]] used a Xerneas in Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!.

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
A Xerneas appeared in [[LDK1]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Xerxer}}
Xerneas debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside Yveltal. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Later Xerneas awakened and took back most of the energy that had been absorbed from it. Afterwards, it was befriended and caught by {{adv|Y}}, who [[nickname]]d it Xerxer. When [[Malva]] arrived and revealed that she had captured Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before [[Xerosic]] stopped them, stating that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire, as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends. During the final battle against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal clashed again, and eventually chose to return to their dormant states in order to prevent Lysandre from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Xerneas SSB4 3DS.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]]]
[[File:Xerneas 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Xerneas trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
[[File:Xerneas SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Xerneas appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. In the 3DS version, it is unlocked after playing {{sbw|Target Blast}} at least once, while in the Wii U version, it is unlocked by breaking at least 200 blocks in a solo game of {{sbw|Trophy Rush}} as {{SSB|Pikachu}}. When released, it uses {{m|Geomancy}} to energize nearby fighters, giving their attacks stronger knockback for a time or giving them stronger defenses. Xerneas also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''':''The horns on Xerneas's head give this {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the power to bestow eternal life. It emanates energy with a move called Geomancy that causes all the fighters to glow. As pretty as it is, this makes everyone more easily launchable. Know when to take advantage and when to lay low.''

'''PAL''': ''The horns on Xerneas's head give this Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. When summoned in a match, energy will emanate from it and make all fighters glow. Pretty it may be, but this Geomancy move makes everyone much easier to launch. Knowing that, will you take advantage of the situation, or try to stay out of the way? ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Xerneas returns as a Poké Ball summon, but it seems to only affect the summoner, who is turned {{sbw|Gold Fighter|golden}}. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.
* Xerneas has several unique distinctions:
** It is the only single-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] (not counting [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}).
** It is the only [[game mascot]] whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].
** As of {{g|Champions}}, it is the only Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] to have a former [[signature Ability]], since {{me|Floette}} can now have {{a|Fairy Aura}} as an Ability.
** In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if it is in [[Pokémon Camp]], it will not play with the [[Poké Toy]] when the player shakes it, instead reacting negatively to it. It is the only Pokémon with this trait.
* Xerneas is tied with {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon (excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s Fairy-type form).
* When a {{Shiny}} Xerneas is obtained by event, its model on the Mystery Gift screen is incomplete. It appears in its Active Mode, except the multicolored additions to its horns are either missing or the same blue color as on its neck.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Hoenn Pokédex]]; however, it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped in the [[summary]] screen.
* In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Xerneas will not react if whistled at as a [[walking Pokémon]] in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]]. It shares this distinction with the fused forms of {{p|Kyurem}}.
* Xerneas, along with Yveltal, are the only game mascots to be unobtainable through [[transfer]]ring in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

===Concept and development===
Xerneas, along with {{p|Yveltal}}, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref>

[[File:Xerneas XY concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|[[:a:Category:Concept art from Pokémon X and Y|Concept art]] featuring Xerneas from {{game|X and Y|s}}.]]

The initial designs for the two Legendary {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}". For the first time, he handed the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs, after which Sugimori returned to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref>

Xerneas was designed so that its silhouette resembles the letter {{wp|X}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref>

===Merchandise===
* Xerneas was featured as a rock-paper-scissors Poké Ball launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Xerneas was designed so that its silhouette resembles the letter X. By extension, Xerneas may also resemble the {{wp|saltire}} symbol in heraldry or the {{wp|X mark}}. Appearance-wise, Xerneas resembles a cervid, more specifically the extinct species {{wp|Eucladoceros}}.

Xerneas may also be based on {{wp|Eikþyrnir}} and the four stags {{wp|Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}. Eikþyrnir resides in {{wp|Valhalla}} eating the foliage of {{wp|Læraðr}} with glowing horns that drip with dew. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree, {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, and ate its branches and fresh shoots. Alternatively, Xerneas may be based on {{wp|Cernunnos}} of {{wp|Celtic mythology}}, a life-giving deity known as the "horned god" and associated with antlers.

====Name origin====
"Xerneas" begins with the letter {{wp|X}}. It may be derived from ''cervus'' (Latin for "deer"), ''{{wp|Cernunnos}}'' (a horned Celtic god), ''{{wp|Ceryneian Hind}}'', and アース ''āsu'' (earth).

'''Yveltal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イベルタル''' ''Yveltal'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Xerneas}}, Yveltal was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.

Yveltal is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, appearing on its boxart. Yveltal, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.

==Biology==
[[File:717 Cocoon VI OD.png|thumb|left|185px|Yveltal's dormant form, the Cocoon of Destruction]]
Yveltal is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with both avian and draconic traits. The back of its body is black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a thin, antenna-like growth behind each eye. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal's wings each have three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It has small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backward. Its tail is similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip.
[[File:Yveltal ZA.png|250px|thumb|right|Yveltal walking on the ground.]]
Yveltal is said to represent destruction and death. It has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers; according to legend, it does this in order to power up its own energy. It is highly feared by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] because of this. Yveltal is known to appear during a conflict, draining the life energy of any person or Pokémon that it encounters. Upon reaching the end of its lifespan, Yveltal steals the life energy of everything around it, then encases itself in a cocoon and falls into a deep slumber. Both Yveltal and {{p|Xerneas}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Yveltal's power can be used to power up machines, as seen with the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal's [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] has the power to transform [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the [[ultimate weapon]].<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Oblivion Wing|release a red beam that absorbs its target's energy}}, restoring its vitality as a result. Said attack can also burn the ground it hits in the process.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Pokémon Y | Legendary Pokémon!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> Yveltal can crawl on the ground using its wings and talons, similar to a bat. It can also use its wings to propel itself back into the air. It will harm anyone who tries to take it, even while it's in its dormant, cocoon-like state. Yveltal is drawn to the life energy that's released or disturbed within the ecosystem, such as the [[Mega Power]] emitted by the [[Ange]] machine. According to research done by [[Mable]] of [[Team Flare]], Yveltal's ability to manipulate life is considered so mysterious that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref>

The relationship between Yveltal and Xerneas can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', any living creatures drained by Yveltal will turn into petrified stone, though it is unknown whether this action is intentionally malicious or not. As depicted in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction,'' Yveltal can be very vengeful to anyone who disturbs its sleep and will seek to destroy it. Its counterpart Xerneas has the power to cure Yveltal's victims by filling them with life energy, but as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. Xerneas is also shown to be capable of calming down Yveltal should it get enraged. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Yveltal was shown making plants wither away by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "the one who takes" due to its ability to take life. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Y".

Yveltal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Oblivion Wing}} and the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dark Aura}} as an [[Ability]].

===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}} is one of the main antagonists of the game. It first appears on [[Revelation Mountain]], turning the {{player}}, partner, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Entei}} to stone. Later, Yveltal and the other Pokémon possessed by [[Dark Matter]] attack the group again at the [[Road to Primeval Forest]]. Once freed from its possession, Yveltal feels deep regret for its actions, despite having been under the control of something else, and tries to make amends by attacking Dark Matter later on, only to be turned to stone itself.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Yveltal (M17)]]=====
Yveltal debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It was first seen in a flashback destroying the [[Allearth Forest]] before transforming into a cocoon and slumbering. Years later, it reawakened and attempted to destroy the Allearth Forest again, turning [[Argus Steel|Argus]] and [[Millis Steel]], [[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]] to stone in the process. It was then calmed by {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and flew away peacefully.

=====Other=====
Yveltal made its animated series debut in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it unleashed trouble on a kingdom, turning people and Pokémon to stone such as [[Aila]]. Its attack prompted {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} to embark on a quest to find {{p|Xerneas}} and have it restore the land and Aila.

====Minor appearances====

===Pokémon Generations===
[[Team Flare]] captured Yveltal in ''[[PG16|The Beauty Eternal]]'' so they could begin the next phase of their plans, which they titled "Project Y".

===GOTCHA!===
A Yveltal briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
Yveltal debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside [[Xerxer|Xerneas]]. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant cocoon and tree states, which are being sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal was later captured by [[Malva]], who revealed that it had been resting in the ground under the tree form Xerneas the entire time. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', both Yveltal and Xerneas returned to their dormant states once again, choosing to do so in order to prevent [[Lysandre]] from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''With its wings spread wide, this Legendary Pokémon looks just like the letter Y. Since its name also starts with the same letter, it's difficult to imagine a more appropriate mascot for Pokémon Y. Apparently, when Yveltal's life comes to an end, it will absorb the life force of all living things— here's to a long and healthy life! ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Yveltal appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* Yveltal has the same stat distribution as {{p|Xerneas}}.
* Yveltal, along with Xerneas, are the only [[game mascot]]s to be unobtainable through [[transfer]]ring in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

===Concept and development===
Yveltal, along with {{p|Xerneas}}, was designed by art designers [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref>

[[File:Yveltal XY concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|[[:a:Category:Concept art from Pokémon X and Y|Concept art]] featuring Yveltal from {{game|X and Y|s}}.]]

The initial designs for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}", having a hard time coming up with concepts. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura. Ohmura furthered the designs, after which Sugimori resumed to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref>

Yveltal was designed so that its silhouette resembles the letter {{wp|Y}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref>

===Merchandise===
* Yveltal was featured as a rock-paper-scissors Poké Ball launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Yveltal was designed so that its silhouette resembles the letter Y. Appearance-wise, Yveltal resembles birds such as the {{wp|long-tailed widowbird}}, or {{wp|carrion}} birds such as {{wp|Carrion crow|crows}} and {{wp|vulture}}s.

Yveltal may also be based on any number of avian-related figures from mythology, such as the Celtic death-goddess {{wp|Morrigan}}, which often takes the form of a raven; or Norse mythological figures such as {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, or the hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}} that resides at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}. Additionally, it bears a striking resemblance to a species of fungus known as "{{wp|Clathrus archeri|devil's fingers}}."

====Name origin====
"Yveltal" begins with the letter {{wp|Y}}. It may be derived from ''{{wp|wiktionary:yvel|yvel}}'' (a {{wp|Middle English}} spelling of ''evil'') and ''{{wp|quetzal}}'' or ''{{wp|talon}}''.

'''Yveltal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イベルタル''' ''Yveltal'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Xerneas}}, Yveltal was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.

Yveltal is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, appearing on its boxart. Yveltal, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.

==Biology==
[[File:717 Cocoon VI OD.png|thumb|left|185px|Yveltal's dormant form, the Cocoon of Destruction]]
Yveltal is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with both avian and draconic traits. The back of its body is black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a thin, antenna-like growth behind each eye. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal's wings each have three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It has small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backward. Its tail is similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip.

Yveltal is said to represent destruction and death. It has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers; according to legend, it does this in order to power up its own energy. It is highly feared by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] because of this. Yveltal is known to appear during a conflict, draining the life energy of any person or Pokémon that it encounters. Upon reaching the end of its lifespan, Yveltal steals the life energy of everything around it, then encases itself in a cocoon and falls into a deep slumber. Both Yveltal and {{p|Xerneas}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Yveltal's power can be used to power up machines, as seen with the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal's [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] has the power to transform [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the [[ultimate weapon]].<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Oblivion Wing|release a red beam that absorbs its target's energy}}, restoring its vitality as a result. Said attack can also burn the ground it hits in the process.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Pokémon Y | Legendary Pokémon!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> Yveltal can crawl on the ground using its wings and talons, similar to a bat. It can also use its wings to propel itself back into the air. It will harm anyone who tries to take it, even while it's in its dormant, cocoon-like state. Yveltal is drawn to the life energy that's released or disturbed within the ecosystem, such as the [[Mega Power]] emitted by the [[Ange]] machine. According to research done by [[Mable]] of [[Team Flare]], Yveltal's ability to manipulate life is considered so mysterious that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref>
[[File:Yveltal ZA.png|250px|thumb|left|Yveltal walking on the ground.]]
The relationship between Yveltal and Xerneas can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', any living creatures drained by Yveltal will turn into petrified stone, though it is unknown whether this action is intentionally malicious or not. As depicted in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction,'' Yveltal can be very vengeful to anyone who disturbs its sleep and will seek to destroy it. Its counterpart Xerneas has the power to cure Yveltal's victims by filling them with life energy, but as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. Xerneas is also shown to be capable of calming down Yveltal should it get enraged. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Yveltal was shown making plants wither away by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "the one who takes" due to its ability to take life. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Y".

Yveltal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Oblivion Wing}} and the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dark Aura}} as an [[Ability]].

===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}} is one of the main antagonists of the game. It first appears on [[Revelation Mountain]], turning the {{player}}, partner, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Entei}} to stone. Later, Yveltal and the other Pokémon possessed by [[Dark Matter]] attack the group again at the [[Road to Primeval Forest]]. Once freed from its possession, Yveltal feels deep regret for its actions, despite having been under the control of something else, and tries to make amends by attacking Dark Matter later on, only to be turned to stone itself.

Yveltal debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It was first seen in a flashback destroying the [[Allearth Forest]] before transforming into a cocoon and slumbering. Years later, it reawakened and attempted to destroy the Allearth Forest again, turning [[Argus Steel|Argus]] and [[Millis Steel]], [[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]] to stone in the process. It was then calmed by {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and flew away peacefully.

=====Other=====
Yveltal made its animated series debut in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it unleashed trouble on a kingdom, turning people and Pokémon to stone such as [[Aila]]. Its attack prompted {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} to embark on a quest to find {{p|Xerneas}} and have it restore the land and Aila.

Yveltal debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside [[Xerxer|Xerneas]]. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant cocoon and tree states, which are being sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal was later captured by [[Malva]], who revealed that it had been resting in the ground under the tree form Xerneas the entire time. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', both Yveltal and Xerneas returned to their dormant states once again, choosing to do so in order to prevent [[Lysandre]] from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''With its wings spread wide, this Legendary Pokémon looks just like the letter Y.

===Concept and development===
Yveltal, along with {{p|Xerneas}}, was designed by art designers [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref>

[[File:Yveltal XY concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|[[:a:Category:Concept art from Pokémon X and Y|Concept art]] featuring Yveltal from {{game|X and Y|s}}.]]

The initial designs for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}", having a hard time coming up with concepts. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura. Ohmura furthered the designs, after which Sugimori resumed to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref>

Yveltal was designed so that its silhouette resembles the letter {{wp|Y}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref>

===Merchandise===
* Yveltal was featured as a rock-paper-scissors Poké Ball launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Yveltal was designed so that its silhouette resembles the letter Y. Appearance-wise, Yveltal resembles birds such as the {{wp|long-tailed widowbird}}, or {{wp|carrion}} birds such as {{wp|Carrion crow|crows}} and {{wp|vulture}}s.

Yveltal may also be based on any number of avian-related figures from mythology, such as the Celtic death-goddess {{wp|Morrigan}}, which often takes the form of a raven; or Norse mythological figures such as {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, or the hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}} that resides at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}. Additionally, it bears a striking resemblance to a species of fungus known as "{{wp|Clathrus archeri|devil's fingers}}."

====Name origin====
"Yveltal" begins with the letter {{wp|Y}}. It may be derived from ''{{wp|wiktionary:yvel|yvel}}'' (a {{wp|Middle English}} spelling of ''evil'') and ''{{wp|quetzal}}'' or ''{{wp|talon}}''.

'''Excadrill''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドリュウズ''' ''Doryuzu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Drilbur}} starting at [[level]] 31.

Excadrill can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Excadrill''' using the [[Excadrite]]. Mega Excadrill was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:Excadrill covered.png|thumb|left|250px|Excadrill folded into a drill shape]]
Excadrill is a bipedal, somewhat heavy-set, mole-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a dark-brown body with diagonal, red splotches. Three markings are on its front, resembling scratch marks, with two under each arm, and two on its back. It has short legs with small, narrow feet, each containing three toes. Its small white face is long and thin, tipped by its pink nose. Its eyes are set back, on either side of the bridge of the nose. Under them, on each side, are two thin, red stripes. A large blade roughly twice as large as its face extends from its forehead. The top of the blade contains two smaller blades, resembling fins. It has a hump on its back where its head meets its shoulders. Its arms are thick and have three large blades instead of fingers, with two smaller blades on top of the middle ones. On its knees, halfway down its arm, and just behind where its forehead meets its face, are small red spots.

Due to its Evolution, Excadrill's drill has turned into steel. Excadrill can straighten its entire body, allowing it to spin like a drill. It can cut through iron and steel plating and it can dig at speeds of over 90 mph (150 km/h). Known as the "Drill King", it uses its excellent digging abilities to build a complex network of tunnels for its nest at more than 300 feet (100 meters) below the surface. Its tunneling can be both beneficial and harmful to humans, as it can help workers with its swift digging prowess for tunnel construction, but it can be detrimental to underground structures, such as subway tunnels.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Excadrill drill mode.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Shiny Mega Excadrill in a drill-like state]]
Excadrill can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Excadrill.

Mega Evolution causes the drill blades on Mega Excadrill's head and arms to grow enormous, transforming into a shape that resembles half of an elongated step-type drill bit. These drills are grey with alternating light and dark orange, spiraling grooves on the outside, while the inside is hollow and lined with notches. The two fins on each blade are replaced by a single larger fin with a hole on its back. Mega Excadrill also gains two triangular metal plates on its shoulders, and one on its chest in the center of its scratch-like markings. Its body also becomes rounder and larger and its nose gets bigger, though its neck becomes shorter. The fur above its face sticks out further and the red scratch-like markings on the sides of its head and arms disappear. Its eyes also now have eye bags around them. The three scratch-like markings on its chest combine to form a sharper and more jagged splotch resembling three diamonds. The markings on its back become larger, sharing the same shape as the markings on its chest.

Mega Excadrill can bring the drills on its arms and head together, with the triangular metal plates on its chest and shoulders filling the gaps in between them. This creates a massive, streamlined drill, allowing it to destroy anything. When attacking in this form, the grooves gain a blue gradient from the middle section towards the tip, and light blue flames eject from the holes on the fins.

Mega Excadrill is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Piercing Drill}} as an [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
* Mega Excadrill is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 608.
* Excadrill's base {{stat|HP}} stat is the same value as the {{TCG|HP}} of [[Excadrill (Emerging Powers 56)|its first TCG counterpart]].
* Excadrill is the only Pokémon that is able to learn more than one [[one-hit knockout move]] by leveling up: {{m|Horn Drill}} and {{m|Fissure}}.

===Concept and development===
[[File:BW Prerelease double battle.png|thumb|230px|A screenshot depicting Excadrill's earlier design]]
In [[Pokémon Black and White beta|early promotional videos for Black and White]], Excadrill had mirrored markings on its midsection and a different body color scheme.

===Origin===
Excadrill seems to be based on a {{wp|mole (animal)|mole}}, though it also shares characteristics with digging tools such as shovels and drills. When it is folded up, the spikes on its claws and horn give it a resemblance to the drill of a {{wp|roadheader}}, a mining vehicle used to bore tunnels underground. It may also be based on {{wp|subterrene}}s, subterranean drilling vehicles sometimes called "battle moles", as suggested by its English {{pkmn|category}}.

Mega Excadrill emphasizes its aformentioned drill-like features even further with its enlarged drill blades and claws, though the elongated shape and flame jets of its drill form also make it resemble a {{wp|rocket}}. The same flames, alongside the blue gradient on its grooves, may be based on how drill bits heat up while boring through solid materials.

====Name origin====
Excadrill may be a combination of ''excavate'' and ''drill''.

Doryuzu may be a combination of ドリル ''doriru'' (drill), 土竜 ''doryū'' (mole), and 渦 ''uzu'' (spiral or swirl). Alternatively, "ryuzu" may be derived from 竜頭 ''ryūzu'', which is a term to refer to things that resemble a dragon's head, such as a helmet crest.

'''Charjabug''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デンヂムシ''' ''Dendimushi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Grubbin}} starting at [[level]] 20 and evolves into {{p|Vikavolt}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]] or when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Sophocles Charjabug sound waves.png|thumb|left|250px|Charjabug communicating with Grubbin using sound waves]]
Charjabug is a small, cuboid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling an insect. Its body consists of three square segments. The last two sections have a thin, ring-like marking and a stubby brown leg on each side. Each eye is covered by a blue screen and is only visible when it glows. Two short, yellow spikes extend from the front square: one on each side of its rectangular mouth. The mouth itself is gray and has two jaws that close sideways, shaped like a lightning bolt when open.

Charjabug is often found half-buried in earth or leaves, munching on large quantities of {{wp|humus}}. The sturdy shell covering Charjabug's body protects it from attacks, allowing it to eat peacefully. This diet helps Charjabug evolve into {{p|Vikavolt}}. In its body is an electric sac, which it uses to store electricity generated by digesting food. The electricity it stores could run a household for a whole day and can be shared with other Pokémon.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/charjabug/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Charjabug]</ref> People on camping trips are grateful to have a Charjabug around. It can discharge electricity from the tips of its jaws to attack especially persistent opponents. Charjabug will zap anyone who accidentally steps on it. As shown in the {{aniseries|SM}} episode ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', it can send sound waves to communicate with nearby Grubbin. Vikavolt is known to clasp Charjabug in between its legs and use it as a battery to enhance its {{type|Electric}} [[move]]s, unless it is in an aerial battle. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Charjabug releases electricity while it sleeps. The reason is due it still digesting the meal it consumes.

Charjabug is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Battery}} as an [[Ability]].

* Charjabug is the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by shape#Pokémon with serpentine bodies|with a serpentine body]].
* Charjabug is the only Pokémon whose Japanese name contains the uncommon {{wp|yotsugana}} ヂ (''di'' or ''ji'').
[[File:Charjabug Battery Symbol.png|250px|thumb|right|Charjabug battery life in [[Pokémon Champions]]
* The mobile version of [[Pokémon Champions]] uses Charjabug to represent the battery life of the device.

===Origin===
Charjabug appears to be based on a cocooned bug and a battery. It may also be based on the {{wp|Monema flavescens|denkimushi}}, a caterpillar in Japan that, when touched, can give a sting that is said to feel like an electric shock. In addition, it bears a resemblance to {{wp|Passenger car (rail)|subway cars}}, which are typically powered by electricity and reflect its habit of living underground. It may be also based on a two-pronged electrical plug or {{wp|nine-volt battery}}. Its original [[methods of Evolution|Evolution method]] of levelling up in a [[special magnetic field]] might come from various insects such as termites (which also have mandibles), which use {{wp|geomagnetism}} to navigate their nests and orient their construction.

Based on its [[cry]], Charjabug may also be inspired by an {{wp|accordion}}.

====Name origin====
Charjabug may be a combination of ''charge'' (as in to charge a battery) or ''charger'' and ''bug''.

Dendimushi may be a combination of 電池 ''denchi'' (battery) and 地虫 ''jimushi'' (grub).

'''Charjabug''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デンヂムシ''' ''Dendimushi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Grubbin}} starting at [[level]] 20 and evolves into {{p|Vikavolt}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]] or when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Sophocles Charjabug sound waves.png|thumb|left|250px|Charjabug communicating with Grubbin using sound waves]]
Charjabug is a small, cuboid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling an insect. Its body consists of three square segments. The last two sections have a thin, ring-like marking and a stubby brown leg on each side. Each eye is covered by a blue screen and is only visible when it glows. Two short, yellow spikes extend from the front square: one on each side of its rectangular mouth. The mouth itself is gray and has two jaws that close sideways, shaped like a lightning bolt when open.

Charjabug is often found half-buried in earth or leaves, munching on large quantities of {{wp|humus}}. The sturdy shell covering Charjabug's body protects it from attacks, allowing it to eat peacefully. This diet helps Charjabug evolve into {{p|Vikavolt}}. In its body is an electric sac, which it uses to store electricity generated by digesting food. The electricity it stores could run a household for a whole day and can be shared with other Pokémon.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/charjabug/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Charjabug]</ref> People on camping trips are grateful to have a Charjabug around. It can discharge electricity from the tips of its jaws to attack especially persistent opponents. Charjabug will zap anyone who accidentally steps on it. As shown in the {{aniseries|SM}} episode ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', it can send sound waves to communicate with nearby Grubbin. Vikavolt is known to clasp Charjabug in between its legs and use it as a battery to enhance its {{type|Electric}} [[move]]s, unless it is in an aerial battle. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Charjabug releases electricity while it sleeps. The reason is due it still digesting the meal it consumes.

Charjabug is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Battery}} as an [[Ability]].

===NPC appearances===
Nine individual Charjabug, nicknamed Onejabug through Ninejabug, reside at the [[Hokulani Observatory]] in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. Prior to [[Sophocles]]' [[Trial]], [[Molayne]] tasks the player with finding three of the Charjabug that have wandered off around the observatory. During the trial, the nine Charjabug must be arranged in certain patterns to generate electricity and power the Pinger to summon the [[Togedemaru (Pokémon)|Totem Pokémon]].

* Charjabug and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>
* Charjabug is the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by shape#Pokémon with serpentine bodies|with a serpentine body]].
* Charjabug is the only Pokémon whose Japanese name contains the uncommon {{wp|yotsugana}} ヂ (''di'' or ''ji'').
[[File:Charjabug Battery Symbol.png|thumb|Charjabug battery symbol in [[Pokémon Champions]]
* The mobile version of [[Pokémon Champions]] uses Charjabug to represent the battery life of the device.

===Origin===
Charjabug appears to be based on a cocooned bug and a battery. It may also be based on the {{wp|Monema flavescens|denkimushi}}, a caterpillar in Japan that, when touched, can give a sting that is said to feel like an electric shock. In addition, it bears a resemblance to {{wp|Passenger car (rail)|subway cars}}, which are typically powered by electricity and reflect its habit of living underground. It may be also based on a two-pronged electrical plug or {{wp|nine-volt battery}}. Its original [[methods of Evolution|Evolution method]] of levelling up in a [[special magnetic field]] might come from various insects such as termites (which also have mandibles), which use {{wp|geomagnetism}} to navigate their nests and orient their construction.

Based on its [[cry]], Charjabug may also be inspired by an {{wp|accordion}}.

====Name origin====
Charjabug may be a combination of ''charge'' (as in to charge a battery) or ''charger'' and ''bug''.

Dendimushi may be a combination of 電池 ''denchi'' (battery) and 地虫 ''jimushi'' (grub).

Sleep style

Jacob9594: /* Summary */

[[File:Sleep Style Dex entry.png|thumb|x400px|A Sleep Style Dex entry for {{p|Rattata}}]]
<div style="float:right">
[[File:Sleep Style Dex Icon.png|thumb|x100px|The Sleep Style Dex icon]]
</div>
'''Sleep styles''' (Japanese: '''寝顔''' ''Sleeping face'') are characteristics of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{g|Sleep}}.

==Summary==
While each Pokémon has only one [[sleep type]], they have multiple sleep styles, which are recorded in the '''Sleep Style [[Pokédex|Dex]]''' (Japanese: '''寝顔図鑑''' ''Sleeping face Illustrated Encylopedia''). Sleep styles are ranked from one star (★) to five stars (★★★★★), with each star indicating an increase in rarity. Having a higher rating for {{Sleep|Snorlax}} allows the player to find rarer sleep styles. Most Pokémon have three or four sleep styles, while the Halloween and holiday variants of {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}} only have two. Currently, only one Pokémon, {{p|Ditto}}, has more than four styles, with 10.<ref name="DittoSleep" group="note">Ditto has 11 Sleep Styles, with IDs from 1-7 and 9-12. As of version 2.0.1, ID 8 is currently unused.</ref>

Sleep styles may be thought of as similar to [[human]] {{wp|sleeping positions}}.

==Sleep Style Dex goals==
Each time the player meets a Sleep Style Dex goal by registering a certain number of sleep styles in the Sleep Style Dex, they can receive a variety of rewards from [[Professor Neroli]], including Diamonds and access to new features. The following table gives the list of Sleep Style Dex goals and the rewards associated with each.

|pokemon=Venusaur

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0006
|pokemon=Charizard

|pokemon=Wartortle
|type=Water

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0009
|pokemon=Blastoise
|type=Water

|style3=String-Shot Sleep
|style4=Atop-Belly Sleep
}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0011

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0019

|style4=Atop-Belly Sleep
}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0020
|pokemon=Raticate
|type=Normal
|stype=Snoozing

|style3=Gnawing Sleep

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0023

|style4=Atop-Belly Sleep
}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0024

|type=Fire
|stype=Snoozing

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry

'''Sleep styles''' (Japanese: '''寝顔''' ''Sleeping face'') are characteristics of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{g|Sleep}}.

==Summary==
While each Pokémon has only one [[sleep type]], they have multiple sleep styles, which are recorded in the '''Sleep Style [[Pokédex|Dex]]''' (Japanese: '''寝顔図鑑''' ''Sleeping face Illustrated Encylopedia''). Sleep styles are ranked from one star (★) to four stars (★★★★), with each star indicating an increase in rarity. Having a higher rating for {{Sleep|Snorlax}} allows the player to find rarer sleep styles. Most Pokémon have three or four sleep styles, while the Halloween and holiday variants of {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}} only have two. Currently, only one Pokémon, {{p|Ditto}}, has more than four styles, with 10.<ref name="DittoSleep" group="note">Ditto has 11 Sleep Styles, with IDs from 1-7 and 9-12. As of version 2.0.1, ID 8 is currently unused.</ref>

Sleep styles may be thought of as similar to [[human]] {{wp|sleeping positions}}.

==Sleep Style Dex goals==
Each time the player meets a Sleep Style Dex goal by registering a certain number of sleep styles in the Sleep Style Dex, they can receive a variety of rewards from [[Professor Neroli]], including Diamonds and access to new features. The following table gives the list of Sleep Style Dex goals and the rewards associated with each.

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0003
|pokemon=Venusaur
|type=Grass
|stype=Dozing
|dexdesc=This Pokémon emits a pleasant fragrance from the flower on its back as it sleeps. You may sometimes see a Venusaur that's forgotten to retract its long vines before dozing off—perhaps this means it's especially relaxed.

|style4=Atop-Belly Sleep
}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0004

|style4=Atop-Belly Sleep
}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0005

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0006
|pokemon=Charizard
|type=Fire

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0008
|pokemon=Wartortle
|type=Water
|stype=Slumbering

|style3=Flattened Sleep
|style4=Atop-Belly Sleep
}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0009
|pokemon=Blastoise
|type=Water
|stype=Slumbering
|dexdesc=This Pokémon normally sleeps soundly, protected by its tough shell, but it's also been seen sleeping with its belly exposed on very rare occasions. Perhaps this happens when Blastoise feels completely secure in its surroundings and falls fast asleep.

|style3=Overturned Sleep
|style4=Atop-Belly Sleep
}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0010

|style1=Sprawled Sleep
|style2=Droopy-Headed Sleep
|style3=String-Shot Sleep
|style4=Atop-Belly Sleep
}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0011
|pokemon=Metapod

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0012

|style3=Scale-Scattering Sleep
|style4=Atop-Belly Sleep
}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0019
|pokemon=Rattata

|style4=Atop-Belly Sleep
}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0020
|pokemon=Raticate
|type=Normal
|stype=Snoozing
|dexdesc=Its sturdy fangs grow steadily, so it grinds its teeth even in its sleep to keep them trimmed. But this may not always be enough—Raticate apparently also gnaws on trees in its sleep sometimes.
|style1=Teeth-Grinding Sleep
|style2=Upright Sleep
|style3=Gnawing Sleep
|style4=Atop-Belly Sleep
}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0023
|pokemon=Ekans

|style3=Uncoiled Sleep
|style4=Atop-Belly Sleep
}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0024
|pokemon=Arbok

|style4=Atop-Belly Sleep
}}
{{SleepStyleEntry

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0035
|pokemon=Clefairy
|type=Fairy

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0037
|pokemon=Vulpix

|pokemon=Ninetales
|type=Fire
|stype=Snoozing
|dexdesc=Its nine gorgeous tails are said to be imbued with supernatural power. When it sleeps wrapped in its tails, this Pokémon has a mystical appearance, but grabbing one of its many tails to wake it up for fun could result in a 1,000-year curse.

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0054
|pokemon=Psyduck

}}
{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0070

{{SleepStyleEntry
|ndex=0071

|style4=Atop-Belly Sleep
}}
{{SleepStyleEntry

Talk:Game mascot

2026-06-23T15:08:04Z

Jacob9594: /* What about other mascots?? */ Reply

==Venusaur==

I think Venusaur, as well as mention of Pokémon Green, need to be added to this chart. I can't think of a way to do that without making the chart fugly, though.--[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 18:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
:Nor can I. I think I did it justice, though, as technically, the Japanese Blue was the third version of Red/Green like Crystal was of GS and Emerald was of RS. [[User:TTEchidna|TTE]] 00:01, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

==Arceus==

On the [[Arceus (Pokémon)|Arceus Page]] it says that Arceus is the Version mascot of the 3rd game. It should either be added to this page or deleted from the Arceus page.
:There IS no third game yet; it's only speculation. And very bad speculation, seeing as how Arceus is an unobtainable. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 19:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
::Heck, the third mascot could be {{p|Cresselia|Cressy}}, since she's purple and Nintendo's already registered pokemonamethyst.com. At this point, nothing should be put in the spot of the third mascot, we'll find out which Pokémon it is in time. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 09:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Well, Nintendo has also registered pokemonjade.com, so I guess we'll have to see later.

Actually, Nintendo has NOT registered pokemonjade.com, but has for amethyst, topaz, and opal at least. Nor has Nintendo registered ivory and ebony yet, either, so a third version about Arceus called Ivory is rather silly (not to mention it would remove all necessities of the event), and I would expect Ivory to be coupled with Ebony in the first place and focus on Light and Dark type legendaries. That's just speculation, though. We can expect Amethyst and Opal to come soon. There's no pokemongirasol.com either, so the third game is probably Opal. Amethyst is the only other possibility, in my mind, as Cresselia and Heatran are the only other non-event legendaries past the end of the Sinnoh-dex, and it's a maybe that Topaz could be Heatran, but I'd be looking for a gem a bit more... how you say, "fiery" for Heatran. More likely it's Opal Version with Giratina, and Amethyst and Topaz are Gen V games. We'll also probably see remakes of Silver and Gold before the third counterpart to Diamond and Pearl, so there's a long way to go before that happens.

This is ridiculous. The home console games (ie: Stadium, Battle Revolution, etc.) and Pokémon Ranger games don't have version mascots.

== 3DS Download titles - is Pikachu the mascot for any of them? ==

Looking at them on my 3DS, Pokémon Shuffle, Pokémon Rumble World, Pokémon Picross and Pokémon Link/Trozei Battle all feature the head of Pikachu on their home menu icons. Pokémon Picross has no Pokémon at all on the top screen when showing the logo, Pokémon Rumble World has 8 equal Toy Pokémon revolving around its name, including Pikachu, which is at the front when the logo appears, Pokémon Link/Trozei Battle has small icons for the Kalos starters spinning round its name, all visible at the start, and Pokémon Shuffle features four bouncing, circling icons, with Pikachu being the one closest to the screen when the logo starts up. The Nintendo eShop informs me that Super Pokémon Rumble has Toy Pikachu on its icon, too, while Pokémon Art Academy has Pikachu on its icon and it is the only Pokémon on the top screen image in the store, while Pokémon Puzzle Challenge also has Pikachu on its icon, as well as the icon of [[PMDGTI]] On a case-by-case basis, do these factors make Pikachu the mascot of any or all of these games? [[User:PartHunter|PartHunter]] ([[User talk:PartHunter|talk]]) 14:32, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
:If they're distributed on physical carts, with a physical box, then that has to be considered over just the home menu icon. Even if they have no physical box, if there's any equivalent art "splash" that's meant to represent the title, then that should be considered equivalent to the box art. (The in-game title screen may be very relevant. If you consider the core games, their title screens often closely mirror the box art/represent the mascot.) If there's none of that...I'm really not certain it would be right to only base this consideration on the home menu icon anyway.

== Re-Evaluate the definition of "Game mascot" ==

I do feel it's time we re-evaluate what we consider a game mascot to be because I do feel Arceus should be considered it for LA and Zygarde for ZA. Maybe the defintion can be changed to be "the Pokémon on the box (assuming there is only one)" OR "the Pokémon that is named or referenced in the game's name". Arceus is very clearly referenced in LA and Zygarde is clearly hinted at in ZA's title. One big reason why I think we should re-evaluate is because the when the recent Pokémon 30 logos were revealed, they had sets with the game mascots and even had Arceus & Zygarde. They had Kyurem and Necrozma in place of Black/White Kyurem and Dawn/Dusk Necrozma, but those were clearly referencing B2W2 & USUM. The only one ones not referenced were Pikachu & Eevee, I believe. Also, wouldn't Hoopa be considered the Game mascot for Mega Dimension? Starting a new section from the previous one because it was getting lengthy. [[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] ([[User talk:Torpoleon|talk]]) 23:27, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

:I think Hoopa counts as it’s the main star of DLC. I like “the Pokémon that is named or referenced in the game's name"” line more as that makes the more sense as not every mascot is on box art. [[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 00:09, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

What makes Zygarde more of a mascot than Ange, also seemingly referenced by the title "Z-A"? What makes Hoopa more of a mascot for Mega Dimension than the Mega-Evolved Pokémon present in the key art? At some point this moves the page from detailing an obvious and objective phenomenon to editorializing and reading tea leaves, which would only continue as more core series games release without a singular species on the cover.
:Considering that both of the current core series titles without a definitive mascot are called "Pokémon Legends," it seems like an intentional decision made by the developers to distinguish those titles from the rest of the core series. The 30th anniversary logos don't seem to be a good basis to say otherwise when those require carving out other exceptions in order to rationalize them as such. -- [[User:Apopheniac|Apopheniac]] ([[User talk:Apopheniac|talk]]) 01:53, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
::Like what the Miku video did for mascots? [[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 02:30, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
::Because of the videos from the Pokémon Company that I shared, it seems very clear that they want Arceus and Zygarde to be considered game mascots in the same vein as the other traditional game mascots. I wouldn't consider the definition to be changed. Moreso that it is being clarified. I do agree with Mega Dimension since I just saw boxart where Hoopa is shown but so are both Mega Raichu. As for why Ange is not considered a game mascot is because Ange is not a Pokémon. Definitely feels like Arceus and Zygarde should be added to this. Anyone who plays those games would see them as a "game mascot" even if they don't appear on the box.
::In my opinion, should be at least one of:
::*either sole Pokémon on the box or
::*named/referenced in the game's name (and central to the game's plot). [[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] ([[User talk:Torpoleon|talk]]) 12:33, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
:::I don't see why we should prioritize promotional logos over the contents of the key art, seeing as the latter are contemporary to the games' releases and will be familiar to far more people. Considering that the video uses Pokémon other than those on the key art for other games, this comes across as cherry-picking to fit a desired outcome. -- [[User:Apopheniac|Apopheniac]] ([[User talk:Apopheniac|talk]]) 14:57, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
::::We're using the promotional logos as evidence because it's what the biggest indicator on what TPCI considers as a "game mascot". The promotional video clearly has a separation between normal Pokémon and those used as a "game mascot". Eternatus and Mewtwo don't appear in that section despite being prominent legendaries. It's very clearly supposed to be mascots of the games. Plus, that promo video is not the only evidence of Arceus and Zygarde being considered mascots as we have the Departure Song from Project Voltage too. [[User:CrownMyFries|CrownMyFries]] ([[User talk:CrownMyFries|talk]]) 15:39, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::Why should the promotional logos be taken as more indicative than the key artwork? Both are published by TPC, but the box artwork is much more prominent over the long term. -- [[User:Apopheniac|Apopheniac]] ([[User talk:Apopheniac|talk]]) 15:55, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
::::::I think being beholden to the previous definition of "Pokémon game mascot" just because it has to fit in the strict criteria of "on the boxart" is a bit silly. Sure, the box artwork is most prominent than a marketing campaign, and should probably be considered the "main" way of determine a game mascot. However, since the Legends series seems to defy the rest of the series with its box design, the criteria of a game mascot for those games should be considered different than those games. The promotional campaign shows that TPC uses Zygarde and Arceus in marketing material alongside the other box Pokémon, so it should be safe to assume IMO that those two are considered their respective game mascots. It's not like this wiki hasn't used marketing to define terms before like for [[Electric rodents]]. [[User:CrownMyFries|CrownMyFries]] ([[User talk:CrownMyFries|talk]]) 16:54, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::::i agree with crown here, i don’t think it’s prioritizing anything above box artwork. box art is still the priority in that every pokémon on the box is immediately the game mascot. it’s just expanding the criteria based off of what TPC has been doing.

{{indent}}I feel like a simple solution for this page would be to just divide it between cover stars[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/2016/September/Check-out-the-cover-stars-of-Pokemon-adventures-past--1142048.html] and other featured Pokémon.

Related to this, do we need to reconsider the inclusion of the DLC mascots in this category? They were excluded from the Project Voltage and the 30th anniversary videos, plus if we're being technical, they aren't really "game" mascots, they're mascots for their respective expansions. Additionally, the Korean box art for Mega Dimensions includes both Mega Raichus and Hoopa, so if we are keeping them, how will we treat this country explosive box art? [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 20:21, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

:I feel like the DLC mascots are safe because there is separate boxart for SWSH and SV that shows them. [[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] ([[User talk:Torpoleon|talk]]) 00:38, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

The article mentions the Gyarados shaped cloud but doesn't mention that it is very much not confirmed to be a Gyarados, it is also theorized by many to be entirely unrelated to Gya and moreso linked to the regional legendaries.
Granted Magikarp has been in literally every single mainline game so its absence is super unlikely. [[User:RaZZeR9351|RaZZeR9351]] ([[User talk:RaZZeR9351|talk]]) 10:29, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

== Switch 1 release possible ==

Does anyone know whether this will be released for the '''original Switch''' as well?

I’m curious because ''Pokémon Winds and Waves'' has been discussed as a major new entry, but it’s still not fully clear what hardware it’s targeting. With Nintendo’s newer systems in the picture, I’m wondering whether the original Switch will still get support, or if this is shaping up to be a next-gen-only release.

If there’s been any official confirmation, developer statement, or even a strong pattern from past Pokémon releases that points one way or the other, I’d love to hear it. The Switch has had a long life and a huge user base, so a cross-generation release would make a lot of sense — but I also wouldn’t be surprised if The Pokémon Company starts moving more aggressively toward newer hardware.

At this point, I think it’s worth asking whether the original Switch owners should expect to be included, or whether this game is likely to be reserved for the next console generation. Any source-backed info would be appreciated.

[[User:ObjectHorizons|ObjectHorizons]] ([[User talk:ObjectHorizons|talk]]) 15:00, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

:No it its likeily a switch 2 exclusive. If there was a Switch 1 release, they would have revealed it around same time as first reveal. Given how it looks, this may not be something the switch 1 casn handle. [[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 15:06, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

'''Falinks''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タイレーツ''' ''Tairetsu'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Falinks can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Falinks''' using the [[Falinksite]]. Mega Falinks was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:870Falinks Dream 5.png|220px|thumb|left|Falinks in the Column formation]]
Falinks is a group of small, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. A single Falinks is a formation of six individuals, similar to {{p|Exeggcute}}. It consists of five troopers and a leader, known as "the brass". Falinks usually march in a single file line headed by the brass, giving their formation the appearance of a caterpillar. This formation is known as the Column formation. However, Falinks occasionally break their formation to attack.

The six members rely on teamwork as their strategy to win battles, and constantly change formation when they fight. The five troopers follow their brass loyally, and the brass's orders are considered absolute by them. Falinks are capable of fitting into small holes, as shown in {{rt|8|Galar}}, where they can be seen marching and charging through small caves and crevices. A common formation that the members can change into is one in which the troopers stand in a triangular formation around the brass, either in front of or behind it, which is known as the {{m|No Retreat}} formation. In {{aniseries|JN}}, the members are shown to occasionally stand upon one another to execute certain moves, but this formation does not have a known name. In {{g|UNITE}}, it is shown that the brass can also dispatch troopers to attack on their own, which is known as the Dispatch formation. As seen in ''[[JN073|Grabbing the Brass Ring!]]'', Falinks troopers also have the ability to mimic the [[cry]] of other Pokémon.

An individual Falinks trooper has a black, spherical body with two stout, trunk-like legs. They also have blue, ovular eyes which can either be interpreted as being white or glowing slightly from their dark body. Each trooper has a golden, armored shell resembling a Spartan helmet that covers their dorsal half. This shell is topped with a red horn that continues into a small crest. The lateral sides of the trooper are protected by two horned plates resembling shields. Each of these shields features a red, central horn ringed in white. Each trooper also has a small red horn on their posterior resembling a tail.

The Falinks brass is the largest, strongest, and most intelligent out of the six members. It has a larger crest with an extendable horn it uses to attack and issue orders. The horn is supported by a golden anterior strut absent in the troopers. The brass's golden shell extends to the ventral half of its body. Unlike its troopers, the brass's lateral shields can be opposed. The brass's shields are often chipped or nicked. When Falinks is marching in formation, the brass holds its two shields in front of its face.

Falinks is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|No Retreat}}.

===Forms===
Falinks can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Falinks.

Unlike regular Falinks, the six members that form Mega Falinks become unequal in size. The brass and two of the troopers grow larger, with the brass being the largest. The members that form Mega Falinks arrange themselves in a humanoid formation — this is said to be its ultimate battle formation, and can only be achieved with strong bonds between the troopers and the brass. Upon Mega Evolving, the transformed Falinks either float in the air or stand before combining into the ultimate battle formation. As depicted in [[Pokémon Champions]], this formation can be broken apart by taking damage, and then the members quickly form back into formation.

The brass of Mega Falinks gains four circular markings on the sides of its face, loses its back horn, and stands at the top of the humanoid formation as the "head". Two of the troopers form Mega Falinks's "arms": the right arm trooper grows a long horn like that of the brass, which functions as a spear, while the left arm trooper has a large shield atop its head. The upper formation is directly supported by a single trooper in the middle (bearing a seemingly pained expression because of this). The middle trooper's back horn is larger and further up its body, and it also has extended arms which it uses to hold up its shields for the brass to stand on; the shields themselves lose their horns and become all golden. The middle trooper is, in turn, supported by the bottom two troopers, which act as Mega Falinks's "legs". The bottom troopers are responsible for moving Mega Falinks around as they scuttle on their tiny feet; the formation does not bend or lift its "legs" to walk. All three of the lower troopers have horns that are pointier than before, but do not form a crest behind them.

==Trivia==
* Falinks is the only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon in the {{egg|Mineral}} [[Egg Group]], and the only Fighting-type Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by shape#Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies|to consist of multiple bodies]].
* Despite {{stat|Special Defense}} being its lowest stat, Falinks awards Special Defense {{EV}}s when it is defeated.
* Falinks was designed by [[Yusuke Kozaki]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1341384533459910656 Tweet by コザキユースケ/Yusuke Kozaki (@kymg).] Posted on December 22, 2020.</ref>
* Falinks is currently the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]] that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
** Falinks is also the first Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution to be introduced after the mechanic was initially removed from the core series.
* Mega Falinks has the greatest decrease in height of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, shrinking by 1.4 m.
** It also has the greatest proportional decrease in height of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, becoming approximately 0.53 times as tall.

===Origin===
Falinks may be inspired by groups of soldiers in {{wp|phalanx}} formations, where each unit is lined up close together and cover all sides with their shields, which Falinks's limbs resemble. Their heads resemble {{wp|Corinthian helmet}}s worn by hoplites during the period of {{wp|Ancient Greece}}, adorned with golden plates and red crests. It may also be inspired by the {{wp|Legio IX Hispana}}, also known as the 9th Roman Legion or the Lost Legion, which mysteriously disappeared in Britain around 120 AD. Falinks' presence in the [[Paldea Pokédex]] may be a reference to the Legio IX Hispana itself. Its Paldea Pokédex number being #300 may be a reference to the {{wp|Battle of Thermopylae}}, where {{wp|Leonidas I}} kept 300 {{wp|Spartan}}s in his army to guard their retreat after dismissing the bulk of the Greek army.

It may also take inspiration from {{wp|eusociality}}, a kind of social animal behavior found in certain insects, crustaceans, and mammals characterized by, among other things, the division of labor of the members of the colony, which are sometimes called castes, like soldiers, workers, and the queen. In Falinks's case, the castes are the troopers and the brass.

In addition, Falinks is likely a visual pun on an admiral caterpillar.

Mega Falinks' conjoined humanoid appearance is likely based on depictions of combining {{wp|mecha}}.

====Name origin====
Falinks may be a combination of ''{{wp|phalanx}}'' and ''links''.

Tairetsu may be derived from 隊列 ''tairetsu'' (a rank or formation of troops).

'''Barbaracle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガメノデス''' ''Gamenodes'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Binacle}} starting at [[level]] 39.

Barbaracle can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Barbaracle''' using the [[Barbaracite]]. Mega Barbaracle was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Barbaracle is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} comprising seven individual {{p|Binacle}} units, multiplied from two through [[Evolution]]. Its body consists of two gray rocks connected to each other by the main Binacle unit, which serves as both its waist and head. The head is brown and resembles a semi-opened left hand; there are four clawed fingers on top and a clawed thumb on its right cheek. Its face is orange with two eyes but no other distinguishable features. The other six Binacle protrude from the rocks, with four acting as arms and two acting as legs. Each arm is orange, with a brown hand with a single eye in the center of the palm, four long claws, and a brown band around the middle. The legs are also orange but have two brown bands and brown feet, with four claws and a four-pointed star on the soles.

Each limb that forms Barbaracle thinks for itself and moves independently, though they usually follow the head's orders. In an emergency, the limbs may act without orders from the head in order to defeat its enemies. Since each of its hands has an eye, Barbaracle is able to see in all directions at once.

===Forms===
Barbaracle can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Barbaracle.
[[File:Mega Barbaracle arms combo.jpg|250px|thumb|Mega Barbaracle using its combined arms for stronger punch attacks]]
The power of Mega Evolution causes the Binacle units to multiply even further — there are 11 distinct Binacle units that form Mega Barbaracle, being its head, eight arms, and two legs. The rocks that the units reside in have also grown larger, with deep cracks running through and black spikes protruding from the tops of the rocks. The head of Mega Barbaracle is black, with an orange face and red pupils. It has five horns on its head, which are white with orange stripes near the base. The horns are arranged like a hand: four of the horns are located at the top of its head, two extending upward and the other two jutting towards the front, while the fifth horn is located on Mega Barbaracle's right cheek as a "thumb".

Mega Barbaracle's waist and limbs are all orange with a singular, zig-zag, black band circling each limb. The legs have black feet with three white toes, the center one cloven in two. The arms have black hands, each one having a single red eye and four claws, two of which are conjoined in the middle. Mega Barbaracle uses its many arms to mess with its opponents, keeping the head busy. Mega Barbaracle can move very quickly, delivering powerful punches followed by a yellow or red beam attack.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Barbaracle (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Barbaracle seems to be based on the {{wp|goose barnacle}}, due to their general shape and use of a connective "stalk" to cling to rocks. Considering one "main" Barbaracle survives together with others, it may possibly reference the rarer, same species {{wp|symbiosis}}, in particular conjunctive symbiosis due to their fusion into a single body. Considering its hand-like limbs and bodies, and its eyes within its many hands' "palms", it may have also been based on the {{wp|hamsa}}. Its limbs having minds of their own may be a reference to {{wp|alien hand syndrome}}. Barbaracle having numerous eyes across various parts of the body may possibly be a reference to various mythological entities with a myriad of eyes such as the Greek giant {{wp|Argus Panoptes|Argus}} and Japanese legends such as the {{wp|List of legendary creatures from Japan|Hyakume}} or the {{wp|Dodomeki}}.

Mega Barbaracle's head evokes the {{wp|sign of the horns}}, a gesture in close association with both heavy metal and Judeo-Christian faith. Its ritualistic application in warding off the ''{{wp|Evil eye|malocchio}}'' ("evil eye"), a supernatural malevolent glare prominent in Jewish rabbinic literature, may serve to represent the head's dominion over the rest of its colony's stalked eyes. The sign's alternate name, "rock on," may also double as a pun towards Barbaracle's Rock typing. Its design might also be based on mythological creatures such as the {{wp|Hecatoncheires}}, {{wp|Gegeenes}}, or {{wp|Asura (Buddhism)|Asuras}} which are portrayed with many arms as well. Some of these creatures also have many heads, which the new Binacle units technically double as despite mainly functioning as arms.

====Name origin====
Barbaracle may be a combination of ''barbaric'' and ''barnacle''.

Gamenodes may be a combination of 亀の手 ''kame-no-te'' ({{wp|Capitulum mitella|Japanese goose barnacle}}) and ''death''.

'''Charjabug''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デンヂムシ''' ''Dendimushi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Grubbin}} starting at [[level]] 20 and evolves into {{p|Vikavolt}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]] or when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Sophocles Charjabug sound waves.png|thumb|left|250px|Charjabug communicating with Grubbin using sound waves]]
Charjabug is a small, cuboid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling an insect. Its body consists of three square segments. The last two sections have a thin, ring-like marking and a stubby brown leg on each side. Each eye is covered by a blue screen and is only visible when it glows. Two short, yellow spikes extend from the front square: one on each side of its rectangular mouth. The mouth itself is gray and has two jaws that close sideways, shaped like a lightning bolt when open.

Charjabug is often found half-buried in earth or leaves, munching on large quantities of {{wp|humus}}. The sturdy shell covering Charjabug's body protects it from attacks, allowing it to eat peacefully. This diet helps Charjabug evolve into {{p|Vikavolt}}. In its body is an electric sac, which it uses to store electricity generated by digesting food. The electricity it stores could run a household for a whole day and can be shared with other Pokémon.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/charjabug/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Charjabug]</ref> People on camping trips are grateful to have a Charjabug around. It can discharge electricity from the tips of its jaws to attack especially persistent opponents. Charjabug will zap anyone who accidentally steps on it. As shown in the {{aniseries|SM}} episode ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', it can send sound waves to communicate with nearby Grubbin. Vikavolt is known to clasp Charjabug in between its legs and use it as a battery to enhance its {{type|Electric}} [[move]]s, unless it is in an aerial battle. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Charjabug releases electricity while it sleeps. The reason is due it still digesting the meal it consumes.

Charjabug is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Battery}} as an [[Ability]].

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
Nine individual Charjabug, nicknamed Onejabug through Ninejabug, reside at the [[Hokulani Observatory]] in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. Prior to [[Sophocles]]' [[Trial]], [[Molayne]] tasks the player with finding three of the Charjabug that have wandered off around the observatory. During the trial, the nine Charjabug must be arranged in certain patterns to generate electricity and power the Pinger to summon the [[Togedemaru (Pokémon)|Totem Pokémon]].

==Trivia==
* Charjabug and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>
* Charjabug is the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by shape#Pokémon with serpentine bodies|with a serpentine body]].
* Charjabug is the only Pokémon whose Japanese name contains the uncommon {{wp|yotsugana}} ヂ (''di'' or ''ji'').
* The mobile version of [[Pokémon Champions]] uses Charjabug to represent the battery life of cellphone. It can show how much power the battery has and charging symbol.

===Origin===
Charjabug appears to be based on a cocooned bug and a battery. It may also be based on the {{wp|Monema flavescens|denkimushi}}, a caterpillar in Japan that, when touched, can give a sting that is said to feel like an electric shock. In addition, it bears a resemblance to {{wp|Passenger car (rail)|subway cars}}, which are typically powered by electricity and reflect its habit of living underground. It may be also based on a two-pronged electrical plug or {{wp|nine-volt battery}}. Its original [[methods of Evolution|Evolution method]] of levelling up in a [[special magnetic field]] might come from various insects such as termites (which also have mandibles), which use {{wp|geomagnetism}} to navigate their nests and orient their construction.

Based on its [[cry]], Charjabug may also be inspired by an {{wp|accordion}}.

====Name origin====
Charjabug may be a combination of ''charge'' (as in to charge a battery) or ''charger'' and ''bug''.

Dendimushi may be a combination of 電池 ''denchi'' (battery) and 地虫 ''jimushi'' (grub).

'''Falinks''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タイレーツ''' ''Tairetsu'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Falinks can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Falinks''' using the [[Falinksite]]. Mega Falinks was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:870Falinks Dream 5.png|220px|thumb|left|Falinks in the Column formation]]
Falinks is a group of small, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. A single Falinks is a formation of six individuals, similar to {{p|Exeggcute}}. It consists of five troopers and a leader, known as "the brass". Falinks usually march in a single file line headed by the brass, giving their formation the appearance of a caterpillar. This formation is known as the Column formation. However, Falinks occasionally break their formation to attack.

The six members rely on teamwork as their strategy to win battles, and constantly change formation when they fight. The five troopers follow their brass loyally, and the brass's orders are considered absolute by them. Falinks are capable of fitting into small holes, as shown in {{rt|8|Galar}}, where they can be seen marching and charging through small caves and crevices. A common formation that the members can change into is one in which the troopers stand in a triangular formation around the brass, either in front of or behind it, which is known as the {{m|No Retreat}} formation. In {{aniseries|JN}}, the members are shown to occasionally stand upon one another to execute certain moves, but this formation does not have a known name. In {{g|UNITE}}, it is shown that the brass can also dispatch troopers to attack on their own, which is known as the Dispatch formation. As seen in ''[[JN073|Grabbing the Brass Ring!]]'', Falinks troopers also have the ability to mimic the [[cry]] of other Pokémon.

An individual Falinks trooper has a black, spherical body with two stout, trunk-like legs. They also have blue, ovular eyes which can either be interpreted as being white or glowing slightly from their dark body. Each trooper has a golden, armored shell resembling a Spartan helmet that covers their dorsal half. This shell is topped with a red horn that continues into a small crest. The lateral sides of the trooper are protected by two horned plates resembling shields. Each of these shields features a red, central horn ringed in white. Each trooper also has a small red horn on their posterior resembling a tail.

The Falinks brass is the largest, strongest, and most intelligent out of the six members. It has a larger crest with an extendable horn it uses to attack and issue orders. The horn is supported by a golden anterior strut absent in the troopers. The brass's golden shell extends to the ventral half of its body. Unlike its troopers, the brass's lateral shields can be opposed. The brass's shields are often chipped or nicked. When Falinks is marching in formation, the brass holds its two shields in front of its face.

Falinks is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|No Retreat}}.

===Forms===
Falinks can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Falinks.

Unlike regular Falinks, the six members that form Mega Falinks become unequal in size. The brass and two of the troopers grow larger, with the brass being the largest. The members that form Mega Falinks arrange themselves in a humanoid formation — this is said to be its ultimate battle formation, and can only be achieved with strong bonds between the troopers and the brass. The brass of Mega Falinks gains four circular markings on the sides of its face, loses its back horn, and stands at the top of the humanoid formation as the "head". Two of the troopers form Mega Falinks's "arms": the right arm trooper grows a long horn like that of the brass, which functions as a spear, while the left arm trooper has a large shield atop its head. The upper formation is directly supported by a single trooper in the middle (bearing a seemingly pained expression because of this). The middle trooper's back horn is larger and further up its body, and it also has extended arms which it uses to hold up its shields for the brass to stand on; the shields themselves lose their horns and become all golden. The middle trooper is, in turn, supported by the bottom two troopers, which act as Mega Falinks's "legs". The bottom troopers are responsible for moving Mega Falinks around as they scuttle on their tiny feet; the formation does not bend or lift its "legs" to walk. All three of the lower troopers have horns that are pointier than before, but do not form a crest behind them.

==Trivia==
* Falinks is the only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon in the {{egg|Mineral}} [[Egg Group]], and the only Fighting-type Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by shape#Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies|to consist of multiple bodies]].
* Despite {{stat|Special Defense}} being its lowest stat, Falinks awards Special Defense {{EV}}s when it is defeated.
* Falinks was designed by [[Yusuke Kozaki]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1341384533459910656 Tweet by コザキユースケ/Yusuke Kozaki (@kymg).] Posted on December 22, 2020.</ref>
* Falinks is currently the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]] that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
** Falinks is also the first Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution to be introduced after the mechanic was initially removed from the core series.
* Mega Falinks has the greatest decrease in height of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, shrinking by 1.4 m.
** It also has the greatest proportional decrease in height of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, becoming approximately 0.53 times as tall.

===Origin===
Falinks may be inspired by groups of soldiers in {{wp|phalanx}} formations, where each unit is lined up close together and cover all sides with their shields, which Falinks's limbs resemble. Their heads resemble {{wp|Corinthian helmet}}s worn by hoplites during the period of {{wp|Ancient Greece}}, adorned with golden plates and red crests. It may also be inspired by the {{wp|Legio IX Hispana}}, also known as the 9th Roman Legion or the Lost Legion, which mysteriously disappeared in Britain around 120 AD. Falinks' presence in the [[Paldea Pokédex]] may be a reference to the Legio IX Hispana itself. Its Paldea Pokédex number being #300 may be a reference to the {{wp|Battle of Thermopylae}}, where {{wp|Leonidas I}} kept 300 {{wp|Spartan}}s in his army to guard their retreat after dismissing the bulk of the Greek army.

It may also take inspiration from {{wp|eusociality}}, a kind of social animal behavior found in certain insects, crustaceans, and mammals characterized by, among other things, the division of labor of the members of the colony, which are sometimes called castes, like soldiers, workers, and the queen. In Falinks's case, the castes are the troopers and the brass.

In addition, Falinks is likely a visual pun on an admiral caterpillar.

Mega Falinks' conjoined humanoid appearance is likely based on depictions of combining {{wp|mecha}}.

====Name origin====
Falinks may be a combination of ''{{wp|phalanx}}'' and ''links''.

Tairetsu may be derived from 隊列 ''tairetsu'' (a rank or formation of troops).

'''Raichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ライチュウ''' ''Raichu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pikachu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Psychic}} [[regional form]], '''{{rf|Alolan}} Raichu'''. It evolves from Pikachu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. All Pikachu in Alola will evolve into this form regardless of their origin. It is the final form of Pichu in the Alola [[region]].

[[Kanto]]nian Raichu can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two forms:
*'''Mega Raichu X''' using the [[Raichunite X]].
*'''Mega Raichu Y''' using the [[Raichunite Y]].
Both forms of Mega Raichu were introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. Alolan Raichu cannot Mega Evolve.

==Biology==
[[File:Raichu OS concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Concept art of Raichu for the [[original series]]]]
Raichu is a bipedal, {{wp|rodent}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Even though it's classified as bipedal, Raichu usually gets around on all fours. It is covered in brown/dark orange fur and has a white belly. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outside, yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl. There is a circular yellow marking on each cheek where its electric sacs are, and it has a triangular, dark brown nose. Its arms and feet have patches of brown fur at the end, and the soles of its long feet are tan with a circular orange pad in the center. On its back are two horizontal brown stripes. Its long, thin tail has a lightning bolt-shaped end, with [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|the tip being chipped]] on [[Gender|females]].

Raichu's tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power by releasing electricity into the surface. Conversely, it can gather electricity when planted underground like a rod or from the atmosphere. Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from its body which makes it glow slightly in the dark. It can store over 100,000 volts of electricity, which is enough to knock out foes several times its size, such as a {{p|Copperajah}} or {{p|Dragonite}}. If Raichu's sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up, and its muscles will be stimulated. However, possibly as a result of stress, it becomes more aggressive as it stores electricity and may even threaten its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. If its sacs are excessively charged, it discharges electricity through its tail into the ground, leading to scorched patches near its nest. Being the result of [[Evolution]] via [[Evolution stone]], Raichu is rarely found in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests and woodlands}}. Part of the reason why Raichu is rarely seen with Trainers is because people prefer the look it had as a {{p|Pikachu}}. As revealed in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Raichu is not capable of learning speed-based [[move]]s such as {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}} upon evolving and is only able to when it is still a Pikachu. Raichu, along with Pikachu and {{p|Pichu}}, is related to {{p|Pachirisu}}. In {{g|Sleep}}, it is shown that Raichu sometimes releases electricity while sleeping, so anyone who approaches it is at risk of being electrocuted. It may also plant its tail into the ground as it rests.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Raichu and its pre-evolved forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
{{left clear}}

===Forms===
Raichu has a [[regional form]], {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu, and two [[Mega Evolution]]s: Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y.

====Alolan Raichu====
In the [[Alola]] [[region]], Raichu has lighter coloring and more rounded features. Its eyes are blue with yellow half-circles along the bottom. It has large yellow ears with an inner spiral toward the base and brown on the inside. These ears are thicker and less pointed than a standard Raichu's ear. In addition to its white belly, Alolan Raichu has white markings on its paws with bright yellow lines between its digits. The stripes on its back have also turned white, and there is a small, white circular marking on each heel. The lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail has rounded edges.

By gathering its psychic power in its tail, Alolan Raichu can ride it like a {{wp|surfboard}} and float in the air. It emits a sweet aroma from its cheeks if someone rubs them, though it also causes them to get a light shock. This is thought to be connected to its psychic abilities. Alolan Raichu's origins were initially a mystery, with the [[Human|people]] of Alola jokingly suggesting that its form changed because it ate too many sweet and fluffy round pancakes,<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raichu/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Alolan Raichu] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160812052414/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raichu/ archived])</ref> especially those made with a secret Alolan recipe. However, researchers believe this transformation was caused by its diet in general, as well as Alola's weather and climate. Alolan Raichu uses psychokinesis to control electricity and attacks foes with star-shaped thunderbolts. It is sometimes known by the name "''hodad''". Befitting its surfboard-like tail, it is a talented surfer which uses its psychic abilities to ride waves and practice its skills on beaches. While normally found in Alola, it has been seen in the [[Coastal Biome]] of the [[Terarium]] during rare [[mass outbreak]] [[Poké Portal News|events]].

Alolan Raichu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Surge Surfer}} as an [[Ability]].

====Mega Raichu X====
As Mega Raichu X, it takes on a color scheme reminiscent of {{p|Pikachu}} with its red cheeks and bright yellow fur, but its overall appearance retains a distinctive resemblance to regular Raichu.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref><ref name=ZAsiteJP">[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_z-a_dlc/ja/pokemon/250912_01/#anc02 ライチュウがメガシンカしたすがた、「メガライチュウＸ」「メガライチュウＹ」を発見！｜『Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A M次元ラッシュ』公式サイト (Discover Raichu's Mega Evolved forms, "Mega Raichu X" and "Mega Raichu Y"! | "Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A M-Dimension Rush" Official Website)]</ref> Its original brown eyes have become red. Its tail has split into two identical tails, which are similar in shape to Pikachu's tail, except for the zig-zagging black fur coloration at the base of each tail. Both of its arms and ears are much larger. The yellow insides of its ears are gone, and its ears now sport a solid black color with golden tips. It also now has two prominent fang-like {{wp|Canine tooth|canine teeth}}, though artwork often depicts it with its left or right tooth exposed when its mouth is open. When using electricity, its cheeks and its tails glow brightly.

Mega Raichu X's two tails can generate an electromagnetic force to create enough repulsion for it to float and swiftly propel itself in the air. It focuses its electric power into its fists as its primary method of attack, allowing it to take down much larger opponents in one strike. It has ample subcutaneous fat which stores up electricity, augmenting its defenses and allowing it to maintain a high electrical output for long periods of time.<ref name=ZAsite/><ref name=ZAsiteJP"/> Its ears and forked tail produce 50 million volts of electricity as it flies, and its appearance while levitating resembles the letter "X". In [[HZ138]], it is shown to be able to move as fast as a bolt of lightning.

====Mega Raichu Y====
As Mega Raichu Y, it takes on an appearance distinctly resembling Pikachu,<ref name=ZAsite/><ref name=ZAsiteJP"/> but it retains its original yellow cheeks, though its fur is a lighter shade of an orangish brown. Its brown eyes have become blue, and the lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail is enlarged. The patches of brown fur at the ends of its arms and feet are now gone, as well as the yellow insides of its ears, which now sport a solid orange color with black tips. A pair of horn-like yellow protrusions made of fur jut out of its ears, resembling two lightning bolts. The ends of these "horns" have the distinctive curls found on the ears of regular Raichu. Additionally, Mega Raichu Y now has two prominent {{wp|Canine tooth|canines}}. When using electricity, its cheeks and horn-like fur glow brightly; in key artwork for [[Mega Dimension]], Mega Raichu Y's teeth are also shown glowing. Its appearance with its tail extended resembles the letter "Y".

Mega Raichu Y's greatest strength is its ability to unleash its power instantaneously, making it excel in short, decisive {{pkmn|battle}}s. The amount of electricity it generates from its sacs is amplified, coursing in a zig-zag pattern between its tail and "horns"; this allows it to use powerful {{type|Electric}} [[move]]s. Amassing so much energy gives it a wild and combative temperament, so it prefers a straightforward approach to fighting instead of performing tactical maneuvers.<ref name=ZAsite/><ref name=ZAsiteJP"/> Mega Raichu Y fires "Y"-shaped electric bolts from the tip of its tail and the spiky tufts of fur growing out of its temples. In HZ138, it can additionally focus and transfer electricity from its tail to its horns to release it for attacking, often into two seperate bolts of lightning. However, if its tail is grabbed, Mega Raichu Y's attacks can be interrupted.

{{-}}

==Trivia==

* Raichu and its pre-[[Evolution|evolved]] form both share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, and {{p|Pawmo}}. They are all known as the Mouse {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, though Rattata and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, there is a {{tc|Scientist}} at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] who will [[trade]] a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talks to him after the trade, he will mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible as it is already fully evolved. This mistake was due to the original translation of the script of the {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Japanese Blue}} (in which Scientist traded a {{p|Graveler}} for a {{p|Kadabra}}) rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This error was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the script was re-translated.
* Raichu's FireRed and {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun}} [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] discuss Raichu's electricity being able to knock out an {{wp|Indian elephant}}. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, this is changed to {{p|Copperajah}}, which is based on the Indian elephant.
** This is also the only Pokédex entry in the game to mention a Pokémon not obtainable in [[Hisui]].
* Several Pokédex entries say Raichu can discharge up to {{m|Thunderbolt|100,000 volts}}. However, its {{g|Stadium}} entry instead says that it can discharge up to 10,000 volts. This is likely a translation error due to the way numbers are read in Japanese, where 100,000 is literally read as "ten ten-thousands".
* Although {{p|Pikachu}} is the [[first partner Pokémon]] of {{game|Yellow}}, it is not possible to directly make it evolve into Raichu in the game, so it must be traded from {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. Pikachu's refusal to evolve is a reference to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in {{aniseries|PTS}}.
* Raichu is the 26th Pokémon in both the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* Alolan Raichu is:
** the only Pokémon with its [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]].
** the only [[regional form]] of a Pokémon with an exclusive [[Z-Move]], {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}.
*** along with Pikachu, the only [[electric rodent]] with an exclusive Z-Move.
** the first dual-type electric rodent without any immunities.
** the only [[Alolan form]] of a Pokémon available in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} (outside of [[Poké Portal News]] [[mass outbreak]]s) that can only be obtained by [[transfer]]ring it from other games.
** the only Pokémon whose Alolan form is obtainable in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} without the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]].
* Raichu is:
** along with {{p|Slowbro}}, the only Pokémon to have both a [[Mega Evolution]] and a regional form, as well as the only electric rodent with either.
** the first Pokémon to be revealed to have two Mega Evolutions since {{g|X and Y}}.
** the first Pokémon whose Mega Evolutions were revealed in promotional trailers for the Mega Dimension DLC of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
** the last Pokémon whose Mega Evolutions were introduced before the aforementioned game's release, along with the Mega-Evolved forms of the fully evolved [[Kalos first partner Pokémon]].
* Raichu is the most common Pokémon found amongst [[rival]]s, being used by five of them.
* The Raichu family is the only evolutionary line to have access to Mega Evolution, exclusive Z-Moves, and [[Gigantamax]].
* Raichu is currently the only Pokémon in {{g|Champions}} capable of Mega Evolution whose Mega-Evolved forms are absent in base game. However, they were shown in promotional material for the game before its release.
** They were added on June 17th, 2026 for Regulation M-B.

===Concept and development===
Raichu and {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref name=USUM>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon." Interview with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]'', p. 21</ref> The concept of Alolan Raichu came from [[Masafumi Nukita]], which also involved writing its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]].<ref>https://archive.is/tS5lL</ref>

Raichu originally had an evolved form named [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Gorochu|Gorochu]] (Japanese: '''ゴロチュウ''' ''Gorochū''), which would have had two horns and fangs.<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/3/ Page 3 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref><ref>''[https://www.siliconera.com/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Pikachu Originally Had A Second Evolution Called ‘Gorochu’ With Large Fangs And Two Horns]'' — SiliconEra</ref> [[Ken Sugimori]] stated that while there was nothing wrong with its appearance, it was nonetheless omitted from {{game|Red and Green|s}}, as the staff found that the game balance was better without it, and the limited game space meant that some Pokémon originally designed to evolve twice were changed to evolve only once.<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref>

===Origin===
Raichu's legs and long tail resemble those of a {{wp|jerboa}} or {{wp|kangaroo rat}}.

{{rf|Alolan}} Raichu may be based on the concept of [[surfing Pikachu]] and the sport of {{wp|surfing}} itself, which originated in and is the state sport of {{wp|Hawaii}} (the inspiration for the [[Alola]] [[region]]), as well as the {{wp|wiktionary:hodad|hodad}} concept of being a fake surfer; ''hodad'' is referred to as another name for Alolan Raichu in its [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}}. Its design and {{t|Psychic}} [[type]] may have been influenced by [[Puka]], a surfing {{p|Pikachu}} in {{aniseries|PTS}} which had psychic powers and blue eyes. In the {{g|Stadium series}}, {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, {{XD}}, and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, Raichu rides on its tail when using the move {{m|Surf}}. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], he asked [[Atsuko Nishida]] to design Alolan Raichu since she was the one who had worked on the original Raichu design. Nishida insisted that Raichu "has always been cuter than people might think", and designed Alolan Raichu to emphasize its cuteness; in particular, she designed it with the motif of {{wp|bread}}. The in-game lore of people believing that its [[Evolution]] is induced by eating pancakes was added afterward to play up the concept.<ref name=USUM/> The fact that Alolan Raichu was designed after bread may have also inspired the sweet fragrance it can release from its cheeks, as well as the look of its paws which resemble {{wp|whipped cream}} decorations, {{wp|cream puff}}s, or ''{{wp|baozi}}''.

Both Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y resemble their assigned letters, and also take elements from Pikachu's design, such as its colors and the shape of its body and tail. Mega Raichu X takes after regular Raichu, with its color scheme and tail shape being inspired by Pikachu<ref name=ZAsite/> while retaining the same body shape. Mega Raichu Y appears to be the inverse, with its body shape being inspired by Pikachu's<ref name=ZAsite/> while its colors and tail shape remain mostly the same. Mega Raichu X's {{Shiny}} coloration resembles that of regular Raichu, whereas Mega Raichu Y's is instead similar to Pikachu's. Old media has also portrayed Pikachu as having a circular spot on its belly, a feature that Raichu has in all of its [[form]]s. They could also be inspired by the scrapped [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Gorochu|Gorochu]] species, as it was described as having fangs and two horns; both versions of Mega Raichu have fangs, and Mega Raichu Y is mentioned to have horn-like fur. Mega Raichu Y may also be inspired by the jackalope, a mythical rabbit-like creature with the horns of a deer.

====Name origin====
Raichu may be a combination of 雷 ''rai'' (thunder) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (onomatopoeia for the squeak of a mouse).

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is an [[item]]-induced [[Form|transformation]] introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is present in the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} [[core series]] games, and has reappeared in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and its [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]]. Mega Evolution has also appeared in {{spin-off games}} such as {{g|GO}}, {{g|Masters EX}}, and {{g|UNITE}}, as well as in the [[side series]] title {{g|Champions}}.

Certain Pokémon can undergo Mega Evolution by having their Trainer activate their [[Key Stone]] while the Pokémon holds their corresponding [[Mega Stone]]. There are currently 87 species of Pokémon that are known to be capable of Mega Evolution, and there are currently 93 (or 96, counting specific variations) different known Mega Evolutions.

==Terminology==
The term '''Mega Evolution''' describes both the phenomenon<ref>{{p|Roaring Moon}}'s [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] [[Pokédex]] entry: ''"According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region."''</ref> and the transformed Pokémon. The related verb is '''Mega Evolve'''.

The '''Mega-Evolved''' Pokémon<ref group="lower-alpha">"Mega Evolved" is hyphenated as "Mega-Evolved" when used as an adjective before a noun e.g. "Mega-Evolved Pokémon" or "Mega-Evolved form". [https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/elevate-heroic-hoenn-pokemon-with-mega-evolution Elevate Heroic Hoenn Pokémon with Mega Evolution], [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Shuffle-Launch-Announced-New-Pokemon-Discovered-in-Pokemon-Ome Pokémon Shuffle Launch Announced, New Pokémon Discovered in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire], Press release, [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://www.pokemon.com/uk/strategy/a-guide-to-mega-evolution-in-pokemon-go A Guide to Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref> are identified by the prefix "'''Mega'''" in their name, such as Mega {{p|Altaria}} or Mega {{p|Meganium}}.

Pokémon with two Mega Evolutions use one of two naming conventions:
* Both Mega Evolutions are followed by either the letter X or Y (e.g., Mega {{p|Charizard}} X and Mega Charizard Y).
* If one form is a Z Mega Evolution, only that form will be followed by the letter Z (e.g., Mega {{p|Lucario}} and Mega Lucario Z).

==Overview==
[[File:Ralts Evolution Z-A.png|thumb|right|250px|The Evolution line for {{p|Ralts}} leading up to Mega {{p|Gardevoir}}]]
Described as "[[Evolution]] that transcends Evolution",<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-gb/story/#:~:text=Prepare%20for%20Mega%20Evolution! Prepare for Mega Evolution! | Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref> the process of Mega Evolution drastically increases a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s strength, as evident by the increase in [[base stat]]s upon Mega Evolving,<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Mega-Evolved Pokémon | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ archived])</ref> as well as the fact that it occurs only on Pokémon that are not able to evolve any further. Despite its name, Mega Evolution differs from regular Evolution in the sense that it is only a temporary transformation. To Mega Evolve, a Pokémon requires a strong bond with its {{pkmn|Trainer}},<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution Mega Evolution | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150208104005/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution archived])</ref><ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/new-mega-evolutions New Mega Evolutions | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062733/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/new-mega-evolutions archived])</ref> and two specific items are required for the process: a corresponding [[Mega Stone]] (except for {{p|Rayquaza}}, who only needs to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}), and a [[Key Stone]] for the Trainer.<ref>{{mas|Professor Sycamore}}: ''"Well, theoretically, Mega Evolution should only be possible through the use of two [[Key Stone|special]] [[Mega Stone|stones]] by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who share a strong bond."'' ({{g|Masters EX}})</ref> Mega Evolution imparts a Pokémon with even greater power by unleashing its hidden energy.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/mega-pokemon Mega Evolution | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Only Pokémon who cannot evolve further can undergo Mega Evolution, including Pokémon that should be able to evolve, but cannot.<ref>[[Naveen]]: ''"I have a question—why would Floette be able to Mega Evolve at all? Normally Pokémon can only Mega Evolve when they aren’t capable of evolving any further... Shouldn’t Floette be able to evolve into Florges?"'' [[AZ]]: ''"My Floette cannot evolve... Perhaps because she is such a special Pokémon, having received the lives of so many others... Though that is only my conjecture."''</ref>

Along with the power boost, Mega Evolution triggers a transformation in the Pokémon's appearance and behavior. In the case of {{p|Slowbro}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and {{p|Floette}}, only one component of the Pokémon absorbs the Mega Evolution energy, while the main body remains unchanged. Even though it is usually described as beneficial, some Pokémon, like {{p|Scizor}} or {{p|Houndoom}}, are said to experience discomfort while Mega Evolved. Additionally, it may change the Pokémon's [[Ability]] to a set one (for instance, a regular {{p|Venusaur}} can have the standard Ability {{a|Overgrow}} or the [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|Chlorophyll}}, but a Mega Venusaur always has {{a|Thick Fat}}) and may also alter its [[type]], be it by adding, changing, or removing one (Mega {{p|Ampharos}}, Mega {{p|Gyarados}}, and Mega {{p|Aggron}}, respectively, are examples of such cases). Certain Pokémon even gain a new {{pkmn|category}} upon Mega Evolution; e.g., Darkrai is known as the Pitch-Black Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]] and the Bad Dreams Pokémon as Mega Darkrai.

{{g|Legends: Z-A}} introduces the concept of '''[[Rogue Mega Evolution]]''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|暴走メガシンカ|Bōsō Mega-shinka}}''' ''Rampaging Mega Evolution''), whereby [[wild Pokémon]] undergo Mega Evolution on their own after exposure to high concentrations of [[Mega Power]], which drives them into a berserk, painful state. The [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] further introduces the concept of '''Z Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚと名のつくメガシンカ|Z to Na no Tsuku Mega-shinka}}''' ''Mega Evolution with the name Z''), a type of Mega Evolution in which the Pokémon consumes Mega Power at twice the rate of a regular Mega Evolution, but has zero wind-up time on all its [[Move|moves]].<ref name="MegaLucarioZ">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_lucario_z A New Mega-Evolved Pokémon Is Here | Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension]</ref>

{{spoilers}}
[[File:Lumiose Museum Mega Lucario Statue Replica ZA.png|thumb|200px|A replica of the Mega {{p|Lucario}} statue from the [[Tower of Mastery]]]]
The phenomenon of Mega Evolution originated in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], with {{p|Rayquaza}} being the first-ever Pokémon to Mega Evolve.<ref>[[Draconid people|Draconid descendant]], [[Meteor Falls]]: "''Yes, I am one of the [[Draconid people]]. One of the ancient folk tasked with passing down the knowledge of Mega Evolution—with the great lore of Lord {{p|Rayquaza}}, who was the beginning of all."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Korrina]], [[Hyperspace Sky Pillar]]: ''"I'm gonna get to meet—and battle—the very first Pokémon that ever Mega Evolved..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}} — [[Mega Dimension]])</ref> According to the legend, as told by [[Zinnia]] at [[Sky Pillar]] and reiterated by [[Ansha]], a huge meteoroid struck the planet 1,000 years ago, creating the crater where currently lies [[Sootopolis City]] and causing natural energy to pour out of the cracks. In turn, this caused [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} to reawaken and fight for it over endless, world-defining clashes. The people at the time, the [[Draconid people|Draconids]], could only stand by and wish for Rayquaza to appear and bring salvation, as it had done before. Responding to the Draconids' wishes, Rayquaza descended over the brilliant meteoroid and transformed into a sublime figure before quelling the conflict—in this sense, the meteoroid acted as a [[Key Stone]], amplifying the wishes into the bond necessary to connect the people to Rayquaza, who already had the innate potential to Mega Evolve. [[AZ]] witnessed these events.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"A witness to this series of events, a tall [[AZ|visitor]] from a [[Kalos|distant land]], said, “It is the Δ (Delta), born of the great disturbances in this world. By the bonds born of mankind's wish and the power of the stones, it will calm the troubles that plague the world.”"'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Emma]]: ''"Ah! I just remembered that [[AZ]] mentioned something else. He said during his long journey searching for {{p|Floette}}, he saw a phenomenon in [[Hoenn]] that may have been the beginning of all Mega Evolution!"'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> The meeting between humanity and Rayquaza allowed for the mechanism behind the phenomenon to be understood, which led to the current theory of Mega Evolution.<ref>Scientist, [[Devon Corporation]]: "''Those who saw the way that Rayquaza, possessing this special power, reacted to their [[Key Stone]]s to transform itself, began research into the subject. It came to be recognized as a form of [[Evolution]], a new possibility for Pokémon. And what we stitched together from all of this long research is the current theory of Mega Evolution."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref>
[[File:Super-ancient Pokémon storybook.png|thumb|left|250px|A story book depicting Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} defeating [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}}]]
During the events of {{g|X and Y}}, the prevailing idea was that Mega Evolution was a phenomenon exclusive to the [[Kalos]] region,<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]: ''"And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the [[Kalos]] [[region]]? There's still so much we don't know..."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> where the first-ever Mega Evolution supposedly took place after a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{p|Lucario}} found the first known [[Mega Stone]] and Key Stone.<ref>NPC, [[Tower of Mastery]]: ''"Long, long ago, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} came to this land accompanied by a {{p|Lucario}}. They found two strange stones. This is said to have led to the world's first Mega Evolution."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref><ref>Painting, [[Lumiose Museum]]: ''"The [[Tower of Mastery]] stands to the north of [[Shalour City]]. Two strange stones were once discovered in this area, which are now thought to have been the first known [[Mega Stone]] and Key Stone."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> In the five years leading to {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, however, this notion seems to have been debunked,<ref>[[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Constance]]: ''"The story goes that this [[AZ]] person traveled all the way to some far-off region called [[Hoenn]]. There, he researched the origins of Mega Evolution to satisfy his own curiosity."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> with paintings of the [[Tower of Mastery]] at the [[Lumiose Museum]] now claiming that Lucario was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve in the Kalos region, specifically. Despite this, [[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory on the origin of Mega Stones being a consequence of the use of the [[ultimate weapon]] seems to still be upheld, at least partially, with AZ himself supporting his claims.<ref>[[Emma]]: ''"[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that Mega Stones formed three thousand years ago... when certain stones were irradiated by the light—the energy of the [[Legendary Pokémon]]—that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]. AZ nodded when he heard that. According to him, that's why we've been finding new types of Mega Stones recently. After all, the ultimate weapon was fired again five years ago..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, [[Sina]] implies the phenomenon does not naturally occur in regions far from Kalos, such as [[Alola]].<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"It's so mysterious... to be talking about Mega Evolution here, in a region so far away from Kalos..."'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}}).</ref>

According to Professors {{prof|Cozmo}} and Sycamore, Mega Evolution triggers the release of the entirety of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once,<ref>[[Professor Cozmo]]: ''"We will start off by artificially replicating the massive energy that is triggered at the time of Mega Evolution!"'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Lysandre]]: ''"According to Professor Sycamore's research, Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> implying a strong connection to a Pokémon's own life force. This is further suggested by the fact that [[Infinity Energy]], the power source used as fuel for the ultimate weapon, has been confirmed multiple times to be made of the life energy of Pokémon,<ref>[[Mr. Stone]]: ''"And what energy source could power such a dreadful weapon? Do you know? You see... It ran on the life energy of Pokémon. The energy that could be gained by the sacrifice of so many Pokémon..."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]], B3F: ''"The weapon will be powered by living Pokémon—or rather by the life energy they contain."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> and that the [[Devon Corporation]] researched into Mega Evolution in order to develop Infinity Energy. In addition, Pokémon Legends: Z-A introduces [[Mega Power]], a form of energy emitted by [[Ange]] from within [[Prism Tower]] that, when in excessive amounts, is able to make wild Pokémon enter a frenzied, Mega-Evolved state that heavily strains its body, a process known as [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]. [[Mable]] suggests that {{p|Xerneas}}'s life energy can act similar to Mega Power, enabling the phenomenon of Rogue Mega Evolution.<ref>[[Mable]]: ''"The excessive [[Mega Power]] from the tower caused [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], and if {{p|Xerneas}} shows up, something similar could happen again. I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> Mega Power can be stored in a [[Mega Ring]] and be used by the {{player}} to Mega Evolve a Pokémon or upgrade a [[move]] into a [[Plus Move]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Colress]] questions whether or not [[Z-Power]] can surpass the Mega Ring.<ref>[[Colress]]: ''"[[Z-Power]]... Is it the true potential that I seek? Does it surpass the [[Mega Ring]]?" ({{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}})''</ref> [[Dexio]] and Sina also imply that the two are similar due both being powered up by the Trainer-Pokémon relational bond.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"You know, when you think about it, the [[Z-Power Ring]] helps the feelings of a Trainer reach their Pokémon so it can use its [[Z-Move]], right? It only follows that it should be able to achieve Mega Evolution, too!"'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref>

Mega Evolution is also referenced in the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine and in the [[Paldea]] [[Pokédex]], where it is mentioned that {{p|Roaring Moon}} resembles Mega {{p|Salamence}}.

===In battle===
[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|right|240px|{{p|Blaziken}} Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]
In the [[core series]] games, Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. In {{LGPE}}, the player simply needs to have the required Mega Stone in their bag, since there is no held item feature. Although most media state that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their Trainer is needed, neither [[friendship]] nor [[affection]] is necessary to Mega Evolve in the games.

A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega {{p|Alakazam}} in [[Generation VI]]) has a [[base stat]] total 100 points higher than that of its base form, though in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Starmie}} have a greater increase in [[stat]]s. For all three, this is to make up for the lack of Abilities in the game (they all have Abilities that double their {{stat|Attack}} stats, namely {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}). Mega Zygarde gains only 70 points.

In any {{pkmn|battle}}, each {{pkmn|Trainer}} may only Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal [[move]], but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching out]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|sleep}}, or {{status|infatuation}} will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to attack that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. The moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail to move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, so its power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in {{stat|Speed}} at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is still possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The restriction of only one Mega Evolution per battle does not apply to transformed Pokémon.

====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order the turn the Pokémon undergoes Mega Evolution. A Pokémon with a lower Speed stat than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon whose Speed stat decreases after Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base {{stat|Defense}} stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before. Even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the [[player character]] activating the Mega Evolution with their [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as Prankster before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. {{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it is holding a [[Z-Crystal]].

In {{LGPE}}, as the [[held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

====Generation IX====
[[File:Rogue Mega Evolution.png|thumb|250px|left|A Rogue Mega {{p|Victreebel}}]]
Mega Evolution returned in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} after seven years of absence.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon are shown to now be surrounded by a rainbow-colored aura. It is manually activated while clicking the right thumb stick, but unlike in previous games, only when the "Mega Gauge" is full, which can be done by using moves on opposing Pokémon or by gathering orbs of [[Mega Power]], which are dropped by opposing Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Additionally, Mega Evolution no longer lasts until the end of the battle and is now on a time limit, which can be slightly extended by gathering Mega Power orbs. Mega Stones need to be held by the affiliated Pokémon in order to allow Mega Evolution. Unlike in previous games, the player can Mega Evolve their Pokémon multiple times per battle.

[[Rogue Mega Evolution]] is a phenomenon that causes [[wild Pokémon]] to Mega Evolve on their own, without the need of a Trainer. These Pokémon are apparently in pain, much bigger than normal after Mega Evolving, and surrounded by a pink-colored aura. Calming a Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon will reward the [[Mega Stone]] that is compatible with the defeated Pokémon. [[Team MZ]] is tasked with investigating this strange abnormality by [[Quasartico Inc.]]<ref>"[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-legends-z-a Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Pokémon.com]: ''"[[Quasartico Inc.]], the corporation driving [[Lumiose City]]'s redevelopment, will task you and the rest of [[Team MZ]] with aiding their investigation into these strange occurrences. Work together with your friends from Team MZ to take on and calm a variety of [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon. You can also obtain Mega Stones by pacifying Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon.''"</ref>

In the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC, Z Mega Evolution is introduced for the first time. Z Mega Evolutions take less time to unleash moves compared to other Mega Evolutions, but burn through [[Mega Power]] much faster.<ref name="MegaLucarioZ"/>

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|right|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a [[Pokémon Contest|Contest Spectacular]]]]
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega-Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

When summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is currently not in the player's game.

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon consumes [[Mega Energy]] to undergo Mega Evolution for 8 real life hours.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Masters)}}
Certain [[sync pair]]s can Mega Evolve their Pokémon by performing a [[sync move]] in Pokémon Masters EX since the game's launch.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
[[File:UNITE Mega Pokémon Official Artwork.png|200px|thumb|Four Mega Evolutions in Pokémon UNITE]]
{{p|Mewtwo}} can become [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|Mega Mewtwo X]] or [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mega Mewtwo Y]]. This is facilitated by its {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]], which has a Mega gauge which is filled by using [[basic attack]]s and {{UNITE|move}}s on members of the opposing team. If the gauge is full, and Mewtwo is at least [[Level]] 5, it will Mega Evolve.

Unlike in the [[core series]], Mewtwo can only be Mega Evolved for a set amount of time, delineated by the Mega gauge draining back to empty, after which it returns to being a normal Mewtwo. However, Mewtwo can refill its Mega gauge to Mega Evolve multiple times in the same battle. When Mega Evolved, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y have different basic attacks and increased stats compared to Mewtwo.

Starting from version 1.14.1.2, Mewtwo spends some of the [[Aeos energy]] it is holding when it Mega Evolves. The Mega Evolution will last longer if Mewtwo uses up more Aeos energy.

There are two [[Unite License]]s for Mewtwo. While both of them allow for using Mewtwo in a [[Unite Battle]], each one has separate characteristics. Only the Unite License X one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X, while the Unite License Y one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Starting from version 1.20.1.2, Mewtwo is required to hold its respective Mega Stone, either Mewtwonite X or Mewtwonite Y depending on the Unite License, as a held item.

In a letter from the producer released on July 15, 2025, it was announced that more Mega-Evolved Pokémon were planned to be added to the game to celebrate the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.<ref>[https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/19322/letter-from-the-producer-pokemon-unite-s-4th-anniversary Letter from the Producer—Pokémon UNITE’s 4th Anniversary]</ref> {{UNITE|Mega Lucario}} was the first of these new Mega Evolutions to release, followed by {{UNITE|Mega Charizard X}}. More Mega-Evolved Pokémon would also be released throughout the rest of 2025, including {{UNITE|Mega Gyarados}} and {{UNITE|Mega Charizard Y}}.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1962712084421992841]</ref>

Unlike Mewtwo, these Mega-Evolved Pokémon have separate [[Unite license]]s from their base forms. When using the Unite license, the Pokémon starts off in their base form, however they can only choose one specific set of moves and have a different [[Ability]]. When the Pokémon uses its [[Move (UNITE)#Unite Move|Unite Move]], it will Mega Evolve. When Mega Evolved, various aspects of the Pokémon are changed. The Pokémon's Ability is changed and their basic attacks and/or moves are upgraded in some way. Like Mewtwo, the Mega Evolution only lasts for a limited time and the Pokémon are also required to hold their respective Mega Stones as a held item.

====[[Pokémon Frienda]]====
Introduced during the [[Set 5 (Frienda)|fifth set]], Mega Evolution is one of the main mechanics that can be assigned to a Frienda Pick, similarly to [[Z-Move|Z-Moves]] and the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

At the start of each attacking turn, the player will be prompted with a '''Mega Evolution Chance!''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカチャンス！'''If the player decides to Mega Evolve their Pokémon, they will be presented with a rhythm game-esque "highway" of Mega Evolution marks and will be challenged to touch the Mega Evolution mark at the bottom of the screen as they intersect. Doing so accurately will increase the Pokémon's '''Mega Evolution Power''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカパワー'''). A total of five Mega Evolution marks will move down, and if the player is accurate enough with at least two marks, the Pokémon will Mega Evolve. Additionally, if the player uses the real-world Pokémon MEGA RING accessory, they will skip the requirement of needing at least two successful marks to activate mega evolution, and will be able to exceed the previous maximum power of Mega Evolution for an even stronger boost.

When a Mega Evolved Pokémon attacks, the Attack Roulette will apply a '''Mega Evolution Bonus!''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカボーナス！''') and upgrade the largest value to a double-size rainbow-colored space with a value equal to the Mega Evolution Power attained. The size of the rainbow-colored space will be increased even further with the Pokémon MEGA RING. A Pokémon will remain in its Mega Evolved form for as long as it is able to battle and only one Pokémon may Mega Evolve per session.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Mega Charizard X SSB4.png|thumb|250px|Charizard as Mega Charizard X in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.

Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.

Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[File:Meteorite Shuffle.png|link=]] [[Meteorite]]). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:
* Defeating a Pokémon's Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle, usually at the end of each {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage|main stage area}}.
* Completing certain objectives on [[Mission Card]]s.
* Reaching certain {{OBP|Trainer rank|Shuffle}}s by catching several different species of Pokémon.
* Achieving a high rank in a [[competitive stage]].
* Clearing certain milestone stages in an [[escalation battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge. This is filled by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, or by matching Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost}}({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost+|+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost++|++}}) {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The maximum amount of icons needed to fill the gauge can be permanently decreased by using [[File:Mega Speedup.png|20px|link=]] Mega Speedup {{DL|List of items in Pokémon Shuffle|Enhancements}}, with each Pokémon having a different maximum amount of Mega Speedups they can take.

Once a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its skill is replaced by its Mega Effect for the remainder of the battle. Mega Effect varies between Pokémon.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{Incomplete|section|Information for Stat modifiers while Mega Evolved}}

====[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]====
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[File:MDBag Awakening Emera VI Sprite.png]] [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into [[Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)#Berserk|Berserk mode]]. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its [[regular attack]] will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.
{{-}}

====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]====
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and in this game is achieved by eating an Empowerment Seed. Mega-Evolved Pokémon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status: linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups. Compared to the Awakened status, the only additional bonus Mega Evolution grants is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Some bosses will also undergo Mega Evolution:
* During {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will Mega Evolve randomly into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{pokken|Lucario}}, {{pokken|Garchomp}}, {{pokken|Gardevoir}}, {{pokken|Gengar}}, {{pokken|Charizard}}, {{pokken|Blaziken}}, {{pokken|Sceptile}}, {{pokken|Scizor}}, {{pokken|Blastoise}}, {{pokken|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega-Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

===[[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]]===
{{main|Pokémon ex (TCG Pocket)|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}
Mega Evolution Pokémon appear in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''' cards, a variation of {{TCGP|Pokémon ex}}, debuting in the [[Mega Rising (TCG Pocket)|Mega Rising]] expansion. Mega Evolution Pokémon ex cards in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket are designed to be similar to their counterparts in the physical [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], with yellow names and a black-and-yellow {{TCGP Icon|Mega ex}} symbol next to them. When a player's Mega Evolution Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, the opponent earns 3 points, thereby instantly winning the game.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''====
* In ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', the first Mega Evolution in {{pkmn|animated series}}-related media was featured, where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref>

====''Pokémon the Series: XY''====
* In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', the first Mega Evolution in an {{pkmn|animated series}} episode was featured where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Prism Tower]]. It has since been seen helping Ash and {{ashfr}} on numerous occasions.
* In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', a Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appeared as silhouettes while {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the Kalos [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.
** All known Mega Evolutions released at the time, those introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned special episode.

In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', it was shown in a flashback how one of Gurkinn's ancestors discovered a [[Key Stone]], while his Lucario discovered a [[Lucarionite]], leading to the first known Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', Korrina told Ash and his friends about a Trainer she had once met who had used a Mega Ampharos.

Later, a {{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond {{p|Diancie}} had created and given to Bonnie earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.
* In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared as well as a Mega {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}}.

The final Trainer of the row was the Kalos Elite Four member [[Malva]], who used a Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. At the end of the episode, Alain was also seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}}.
* In ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', a Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].
* In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', [[Wulfric]] Mega Evolved his {{p|Abomasnow}} to battle against [[Ash's Greninja]] during their [[Gym]] battle.

With the exception of [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Mega Gardevoir, all other Pokémon were forcibly Mega Evolved through a special device known as Mega Wave, which was being used by [[Alva]] and his minions [[Levi]] and [[Cherie]] to utilize Mega Evolution without the need of a bond. A Mega Wave evolved Mega Heracross and Mega Pinsir were also loaned to Team Rocket.

==In the manga==
[[File:X full Mega Evolution Adventures.png|250px|thumb|X's team achieving multiple Mega Evolutions at once in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
*In ''[[PS550|X-actly What They Wanted]]'', when [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*In ''[[PS555|The Aegislash Agenda]]'', when X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.

*In ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]'' and ''[[PS561|Heracross Transforms]]'', the Mega Evolved forms of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos in fantasies when [[Gurkinn]] explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In ''Heracross Transforms'', Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*In ''[[568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', during a flashback of Korrina's succession ceremony, [[Gurkinn's students|three Successors]] demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Alakazam}}, respectively.
*In ''[[PS567|Morphing Manectric]]'', X Mega Evolves his newly caught Manectric into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*In ''[[PS575|Changing Gengar]]'', Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. It was given to X, at which point he nicknamed him Garma. It also had a [[Gengarite]], which allows X to Mega Evolve him into Mega Gengar.
*In ''[[PS585|Pinsir Changes]]'', while confronting Essentia, X's {{p|Pinsir|Rute}} and Y's {{p|Absol|Solsol}} are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve.
*In ''[[PS589|Charizard Transforms]]'', both X's [[Salamè]] and {{adv|Blue}}'s {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.

*In ''[[PS592|Zygarde Agitated]]'', X used the [[Key Stone]]s of Diantha, Blaine, Y, and Korrina, along with his own, to Mega Evolve five of his Pokémon: Kanga and Li'l Kanga, Salamè, Élec, Garma, and Rute. Doing so, however, caused him severe mental stress, forcing him to focus on [[Lysandre|a single target]].
*In ''[[PS595|Magearna Moves]]'', [[Gurkinn's students]] Mega Evolved their {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Banette}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} for Trevor to study.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====

*In [[PS611]], footage of {{p|Rayquaza}} Mega Evolving was seen.
*In [[PS616]], {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega {{p|Gallade}} and Mega {{p|Gardevoir}} respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.

===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===
{{sectionstub}}

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
In [[Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby Crimson Passion and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Indigo Wisdom===
{{sectionstub}}

===Pokémon Journeys===
During a flashback in ''[[JNM10|Toughing It Out!]]'', it was revealed that Ash fought {{an|Korrina}}'s Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in a [[World Coronation Series]] battle.

==In the TCG==
===XY Series===
{{main|Pokémon-EX|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon}}
In the XY Series, Mega Evolution first appears in the {{TCG|XY}} set in the form of '''{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Evolution Pokémon}}''', also known as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. Their names have {{Mega}} as a prefix and {{EX}} as a suffix. They additionally have a distinct stage of "MEGA", which serve as an Evolution of Pokémon-EX cards and are played by putting them on top of their corresponding Basic Pokémon-EX. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}} attached to it.

[[Atsushi Nagashima]], the game director for the TCG, has stated that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Pokémon-EX because it would be impractical to evolve a single Pokémon three times during a game, and implementing Mega Evolution in that manner would constrain deck-building.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-pokemon-cards-are-made/1100-6459450/ How Pokemon Cards Are Made | GameSpot]</ref> The team had considered restricting players to one Mega-Evolved Pokémon per deck, but rejected this idea, as they wanted to enable players to build decks based around Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140101195743/https://www.pokemon-card.com/blog/2013/12/000367.html クリエイター～ゲームディレクター長島敦スペシャル対談～ | pokemon-card.com,] archived January 1st, 2014</ref>

===Sun & Moon Series===
In {{TCG|Unified Minds}} and {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}}, two {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} were printed that feature Mega-Evolved Pokémon as one of the two members of the tag team. These cards have no special mechanics outside of those which are part of the TAG TEAM mechanics.

===Mega Evolution Series===
{{main|Pokémon ex|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}
Mega-Evolved Pokémon return in the English {{TCG|Mega Evolution}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Mega Brave/Mega Symphonia|Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia}} expansions) as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon ex}}. They have a black-and-yellow {{Mega ex}} symbol next to their names. Unlike Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX from the XY series, these Pokémon ex share the same Evolution Stage as their base form — for example, {{TCG ID|Mega Evolution|Mega Gardevoir ex|60}} evolves from Kirlia and is a Stage 2 Pokémon. While they feature stronger attacks and more HP than normal Pokémon ex of their Evolution Stage, they also feature the Mega Evolution Pokémon ex rule, causing them to grant three Prize Cards when they are Knocked Out, rather than the typical two for Pokémon ex.

===List of Pokémon cards featuring Mega Evolution Pokémon===

==Trivia==
* There is at least one Mega-Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from every [[generation]] and of every [[type]].
** Currently, [[Generation III]] has both the most Mega Evolutions and the most Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving (with 22 and 21, respectively), while [[Generation VIII]] has the fewest overall (with {{p|Falinks|one}}).
** {{t|Dragon}} has the most Mega Evolutions (with 17), while {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ice}} are tied for having the fewest (with five each).
** No Mega-Evolved Pokémon has {{t|Flying}} as its primary type.
* Only fully evolved Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Floette}} is the only exception to this, though only in its {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} form, which is incapable of evolving into or from any Pokémon.
* {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Absol}}, {{p|Lucario}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} all have more than one Mega Evolution, accessible through distinct [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Similarly, {{p|Magearna}} and {{p|Tatsugiri}} have different appearances while Mega-Evolved depending on their form (Magearna's regular and Original Color forms and Tatsugiri's {{form|Tatsugiri|Curly, Droopy, and Stretchy}} Forms), but are nonetheless considered to have only one Mega Evolution each.
* All Pokémon that evolve with a [[Dawn Stone]] are capable of Mega Evolution.
* 74 Pokémon retain their original type combination upon Mega Evolving.
** {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, Mewtwo (into Mega Mewtwo X), {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Sceptile}}, Chimecho, {{p|Absol}} (into Mega Absol Z), {{p|Lopunny}}, and {{p|Audino}} all become dual-type upon Mega Evolving.
** {{p|Aggron}} and {{p|Garchomp}} (into Mega Garchomp Z) both become single-type upon Mega Evolving.
** Charizard (into Mega Charizard X), {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Staraptor}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, and {{p|Golisopod}} all change one of their types to a new one upon Mega Evolving.
*** Notably, Staraptor is the only such case in which it changes its primary type, rather than its secondary one.
* Mega Feraligatr, Mega Audino, and Mega Golisopod are the only Mega Evolutions that do not share any [[weakness]]es with their normal forms.
* Some Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution also have access to other forms or battle mechanics:
** Raichu and {{p|Slowbro}} are the only Pokémon to have a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
** Raichu, between its Kantonian and [[Alolan form]], is the only Pokémon to have a Mega Evolution and an exclusive [[Z-Move]]: {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}.
** The fully evolved [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].
* Some Mega-Evolved Pokémon have unique attributes:
** Mega Altaria is the only one with a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
** Mega {{p|Zygarde}} is the only one whose moveset changes upon Mega Evolving, with {{m|Nihil Light}} replacing {{m|Core Enforcer}}.
* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolving.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon to not have a designated Mega Stone, as it doesn't need one to Mega Evolve in the core series games that include Mega Evolution, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolving, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the [[Meteorite]] for it to Mega Evolve.

===Designs===
* Design-wise, multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon seem to incorporate traits from their previous [[evolution]]ary stages:
** Mega {{p|Venusaur}} restores patches of dark teal spots on its face, similar to what {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}} had around its body.
** Continuing the design traits that both {{p|Charmeleon}} and {{p|Charizard}} had, as well as some elements of {{p|Charmander}} before its [[Generation III]] redesign, Mega Charizard Y features numerous spikes and horns along its neck and tail.
** Both of {{p|Raichu}}'s Mega Evolutions have {{p|Pikachu}}-like features:<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Mega Raichu X has red cheeks, bright yellow fur, and a forked zig-zag tail, while Mega Raichu Y has Pikachu's body shape, ears, and tail.
** Mega {{p|Clefable}} has dark pink, oval cheek markings resembling those of {{p|Cleffa}} and {{p|Clefairy}}.
** Mega {{p|Dragonite}} gains features distinctive of {{p|Dragonair}}, such as the wings on its head and the pearl on its tail.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-dragonite Mega Dragonite | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Furthermore, its Shiny is azure-colored, which calls back to {{p|Dratini}} and Dragonair's regular colorations.
** Mega {{p|Feraligatr}}'s dorsal fin resembles a gigantic {{p|Totodile}}'s head, leading to it being referred to as a "Totodile mask".<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-feraligatr Mega Totodile | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>
** Mega {{p|Ampharos}}'s tail and head are covered in white fur,<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos Mega Ampharos | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150427074403/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos archived])</ref> which is the wool it originally had as a {{p|Mareep}} and {{p|Flaaffy}} that has regrown due to the excess energy from Mega Evolution stimulating its genes.
** Like its base form, Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}'s chest plate, back spikes, and eye-like marking resemble {{p|Pupitar}}. The horn atop its head similarly resembles {{p|Larvitar}}'s own, and the red eyes and diamonds reference Larvitar as well.
** Mega {{p|Aggron}}'s head plate is reminiscent of {{p|Lairon}}'s in reverse, while base form Aggron's is reminiscent of {{p|Aron}}'s.
** Mega {{p|Chimecho}} grows a golden frame with fake eyes and arms reminiscent of {{p|Chingling}}.
** Mega {{p|Salamence}} has shorter forelimbs and longer hind limbs than its base form, as well as a smooth lower jaw, all of which bring to mind {{p|Bagon}}. The armor encasing its body and substantial Defense increase bear homage to {{p|Shelgon}}; its green sclera likewise evoke Shelgon's yellow sclera.
** Mega {{p|Metagross}} is said to be the result of one Metagross, one {{p|Metang}}, and two {{p|Beldum}} linking up. Its body plan strongly resembles Metang's as well.
** Mega {{p|Scolipede}}'s lavender-colored armor is reminiscent of {{p|Whirlipede}}; this holds true for the violet armor of its Shiny coloration.
** Mega {{p|Eelektross}}'s arms are covered by mucus in the shape of {{p|Eelektrik}}, named "false Eelektrik".<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-eelektross Mega Eelektross | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>
** Mega {{p|Glimmora}}'s main body resembles {{p|Glimmet}}.
* Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} features a {{wp|Delta (letter)|delta}} motif, matching the designs of [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} (which incorporate the Greek letters {{wp|alpha}} and {{wp|omega}}, respectively). As the letter delta resembles a triangle when capitalized, it may also connect to {{p|Deoxys}}, which is known to assume a triangle-shaped form when inactive.
* No Mega-Evolved Pokémon has [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], even if they Mega Evolve from a Pokémon that has one.
** For Pokémon with significant differences due to gender, the Mega-Evolved form is a combination of the male and female forms: Mega {{p|Pyroar}} combines the male and female forms' respective manes into one, while Mega {{p|Meowstic}} resembles a {{wp|Chimera (genetics)|chimeric}} fusion of the male and female forms.
** While technically different species, Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} resemble one another much more strongly than their base forms. Additionally, Latias grows more than Latios when Mega Evolving, which brings them closer together in height and weight.
* In contrast to the other [[Paradox Pokémon]], {{p|Roaring Moon}} has elements of Mega {{p|Salamence}} in its design instead of its regular form.
** Roaring Moon has been compared specifically to Salamence "when they undergo a certain phenomenon" (i.e. Mega Salamence) in a copy of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], though it is left uncertain if there is any connection between them. Roaring Moon's [[Pokédex entry]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] references the Occulture article and Mega Evolution as well.
** An article on the English Press Website for [[The Pokémon Company International]] on Pokémon Legends: Z-A's March 2025 [[Nintendo Direct]] trailer accidentally labeled one of the files corresponding to Mega Salamence as "Roaring Moon". This was fixed later that day.<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/New-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Details-Revealed-During-Nintendo-Direct The Pokémon Company International Official Press Site: New Pokémon Legends: Z-A Details Revealed During Nintendo Direct] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20250327154906/https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/New-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Details-Revealed-During-Nintendo-Direct archived])</ref>

===Core series===
* The Japanese and Korean logos for {{g|X and Y}} include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* At least one Mega Evolution of every type was introduced in each core series game that introduced new Mega Evolutions, with the exception of the {{t|Electric}} type in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
** If counted on its own, the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}} also did not introduce a Mega Evolution of each type, with no new Mega-Evolved Pokémon being {{t|Normal}} type. However, counting {{p|Staraptor}} (who loses its {{type|Normal}} typing upon Mega Evolving) at least one Pokémon of every type is given a new Mega Evolution.
* As of [[Generation IX]], there are seven {{Abilities}} {{cat|Mega Evolution-exclusive Abilities|exclusive}} to Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
* The most common Abilities among Mega-Evolved Pokémon are {{a|Levitate}} and {{a|Magic Bounce}}, tied with four Pokémon each.
* Due to Mega Evolution being absent from {{g|Sword and Shield}} through {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the status of some Abilities was affected:
** {{a|Aerilate}}, {{a|Parental Bond}}, and {{a|Delta Stream}} became unusable despite existing in the game data.
** {{a|Refrigerate}}, {{a|Mega Launcher}}, and {{a|Pixilate}} became the signature Ability of {{p|Amaura}}'s evolutionary line, {{p|Clauncher}}'s evolutionary line, and {{p|Sylveon}}, respectively.
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into Pokémon X and Y; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their [[Mega Stone]]s are not banned from trades from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to Pokémon X and Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in Pokémon X and Y, but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2015/04/mega-flygon-excluded-from-xyoras-because-of-artists-block Mega Flygon Excluded from XY/ORAS Because of Artist's Block | PokeBeach], translation of Nintendo Dream interview scan</ref>

===Animated series===
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], only 36 out of 93 Mega Evolutions have appeared in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

** Mega {{p|Dragonite}} is the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon to have debuted in the animated series before the official release of the game it first appears.
** Some Mega-Evolved Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] have only debuted in later series:
*** Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Mega {{p|Aggron}}, and Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|SM}}.
*** Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}}, and Mega {{p|Altaria}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|JN}}.
*** Mega {{p|Sableye}}, Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}, Mega {{p|Medicham}}, Mega {{p|Aerodactyl}}, Mega {{p|Glalie}}, and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|HZ}}.
* Four Mega-Evolved Pokémon have only appeared as {{Shiny}} Pokémon in the animated series, outside of appearances in movies or specials, those being Mega {{p|Metagross}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}} Z, Mega Rayquaza, and Mega {{p|Zygarde}}.

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is an [[item]]-induced [[Form|transformation]] introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is present in the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} [[core series]] games, and has reappeared in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and its [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]]. Mega Evolution has also appeared in {{spin-off games}} such as {{g|GO}}, {{g|Masters EX}}, and {{g|UNITE}}, as well as in the [[side series]] title {{g|Champions}}.

Certain Pokémon can undergo Mega Evolution by having their Trainer activate their [[Key Stone]] while the Pokémon holds their corresponding [[Mega Stone]]. There are currently 87 species of Pokémon that are known to be capable of Mega Evolution, and there are currently 93 (or 96, counting specific variations) different known Mega Evolutions.

==Terminology==
The term '''Mega Evolution''' describes both the phenomenon<ref>{{p|Roaring Moon}}'s [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] [[Pokédex]] entry: ''"According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region."''</ref> and the transformed Pokémon. The related verb is '''Mega Evolve'''.

The '''Mega-Evolved''' Pokémon<ref group="lower-alpha">"Mega Evolved" is hyphenated as "Mega-Evolved" when used as an adjective before a noun e.g. "Mega-Evolved Pokémon" or "Mega-Evolved form". [https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/elevate-heroic-hoenn-pokemon-with-mega-evolution Elevate Heroic Hoenn Pokémon with Mega Evolution], [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Shuffle-Launch-Announced-New-Pokemon-Discovered-in-Pokemon-Ome Pokémon Shuffle Launch Announced, New Pokémon Discovered in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire], Press release, [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://www.pokemon.com/uk/strategy/a-guide-to-mega-evolution-in-pokemon-go A Guide to Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref> are identified by the prefix "'''Mega'''" in their name, such as Mega {{p|Altaria}} or Mega {{p|Meganium}}.

Pokémon with two Mega Evolutions use one of two naming conventions:
* Both Mega Evolutions are followed by either the letter X or Y (e.g., Mega {{p|Charizard}} X and Mega Charizard Y).
* If one form is a Z Mega Evolution, only that form will be followed by the letter Z (e.g., Mega {{p|Lucario}} and Mega Lucario Z).

==Overview==
[[File:Ralts Evolution Z-A.png|thumb|right|250px|The Evolution line for {{p|Ralts}} leading up to Mega {{p|Gardevoir}}]]
Described as "[[Evolution]] that transcends Evolution",<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-gb/story/#:~:text=Prepare%20for%20Mega%20Evolution! Prepare for Mega Evolution! | Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref> the process of Mega Evolution drastically increases a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s strength, as evident by the increase in [[base stat]]s upon Mega Evolving,<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Mega-Evolved Pokémon | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ archived])</ref> as well as the fact that it occurs only on Pokémon that are not able to evolve any further. Despite its name, Mega Evolution differs from regular Evolution in the sense that it is only a temporary transformation. To Mega Evolve, a Pokémon requires a strong bond with its {{pkmn|Trainer}},<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution Mega Evolution | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150208104005/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution archived])</ref><ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/new-mega-evolutions New Mega Evolutions | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062733/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/new-mega-evolutions archived])</ref> and two specific items are required for the process: a corresponding [[Mega Stone]] (except for {{p|Rayquaza}}, who only needs to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}), and a [[Key Stone]] for the Trainer.<ref>{{mas|Professor Sycamore}}: ''"Well, theoretically, Mega Evolution should only be possible through the use of two [[Key Stone|special]] [[Mega Stone|stones]] by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who share a strong bond."'' ({{g|Masters EX}})</ref> Mega Evolution imparts a Pokémon with even greater power by unleashing its hidden energy.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/mega-pokemon Mega Evolution | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Only Pokémon who cannot evolve further can undergo Mega Evolution, including Pokémon that should be able to evolve, but cannot.<ref>[[Naveen]]: ''"I have a question—why would Floette be able to Mega Evolve at all? Normally Pokémon can only Mega Evolve when they aren’t capable of evolving any further... Shouldn’t Floette be able to evolve into Florges?"'' [[AZ]]: ''"My Floette cannot evolve... Perhaps because she is such a special Pokémon, having received the lives of so many others... Though that is only my conjecture."''</ref>

Along with the power boost, Mega Evolution triggers a transformation in the Pokémon's appearance and behavior. In the case of {{p|Slowbro}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and {{p|Floette}}, only one component of the Pokémon absorbs the Mega Evolution energy, while the main body remains unchanged. Even though it is usually described as beneficial, some Pokémon, like {{p|Scizor}} or {{p|Houndoom}}, are said to experience discomfort while Mega Evolved. Additionally, it may change the Pokémon's [[Ability]] to a set one (for instance, a regular {{p|Venusaur}} can have the standard Ability {{a|Overgrow}} or the [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|Chlorophyll}}, but a Mega Venusaur always has {{a|Thick Fat}}) and may also alter its [[type]], be it by adding, changing, or removing one (Mega {{p|Ampharos}}, Mega {{p|Gyarados}}, and Mega {{p|Aggron}}, respectively, are examples of such cases). Certain Pokémon even gain a new {{pkmn|category}} upon Mega Evolution; e.g., Darkrai is known as the Pitch-Black Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]] and the Bad Dreams Pokémon as Mega Darkrai.

{{g|Legends: Z-A}} introduces the concept of '''[[Rogue Mega Evolution]]''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|暴走メガシンカ|Bōsō Mega-shinka}}''' ''Rampaging Mega Evolution''), whereby [[wild Pokémon]] undergo Mega Evolution on their own after exposure to high concentrations of [[Mega Power]], which drives them into a berserk, painful state. The [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] further introduces the concept of '''Z Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚと名のつくメガシンカ|Z to Na no Tsuku Mega-shinka}}''' ''Mega Evolution with the name Z''), a type of Mega Evolution in which the Pokémon consumes Mega Power at twice the rate of a regular Mega Evolution, but has zero wind-up time on all its [[Move|moves]].<ref name="MegaLucarioZ">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_lucario_z A New Mega-Evolved Pokémon Is Here | Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension]</ref>

===History===
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Lumiose Museum Mega Lucario Statue Replica ZA.png|thumb|200px|A replica of the Mega {{p|Lucario}} statue from the [[Tower of Mastery]]]]
The phenomenon of Mega Evolution originated in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], with {{p|Rayquaza}} being the first-ever Pokémon to Mega Evolve.<ref>[[Draconid people|Draconid descendant]], [[Meteor Falls]]: "''Yes, I am one of the [[Draconid people]]. One of the ancient folk tasked with passing down the knowledge of Mega Evolution—with the great lore of Lord {{p|Rayquaza}}, who was the beginning of all."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Korrina]], [[Hyperspace Sky Pillar]]: ''"I'm gonna get to meet—and battle—the very first Pokémon that ever Mega Evolved..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}} — [[Mega Dimension]])</ref> According to the legend, as told by [[Zinnia]] at [[Sky Pillar]] and reiterated by [[Ansha]], a huge meteoroid struck the planet 1,000 years ago, creating the crater where currently lies [[Sootopolis City]] and causing natural energy to pour out of the cracks. In turn, this caused [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} to reawaken and fight for it over endless, world-defining clashes. The people at the time, the [[Draconid people|Draconids]], could only stand by and wish for Rayquaza to appear and bring salvation, as it had done before. Responding to the Draconids' wishes, Rayquaza descended over the brilliant meteoroid and transformed into a sublime figure before quelling the conflict—in this sense, the meteoroid acted as a [[Key Stone]], amplifying the wishes into the bond necessary to connect the people to Rayquaza, who already had the innate potential to Mega Evolve. [[AZ]] witnessed these events.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"A witness to this series of events, a tall [[AZ|visitor]] from a [[Kalos|distant land]], said, “It is the Δ (Delta), born of the great disturbances in this world. By the bonds born of mankind's wish and the power of the stones, it will calm the troubles that plague the world.”"'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Emma]]: ''"Ah! I just remembered that [[AZ]] mentioned something else. He said during his long journey searching for {{p|Floette}}, he saw a phenomenon in [[Hoenn]] that may have been the beginning of all Mega Evolution!"'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> The meeting between humanity and Rayquaza allowed for the mechanism behind the phenomenon to be understood, which led to the current theory of Mega Evolution.<ref>Scientist, [[Devon Corporation]]: "''Those who saw the way that Rayquaza, possessing this special power, reacted to their [[Key Stone]]s to transform itself, began research into the subject. It came to be recognized as a form of [[Evolution]], a new possibility for Pokémon. And what we stitched together from all of this long research is the current theory of Mega Evolution."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref>
[[File:Super-ancient Pokémon storybook.png|thumb|left|250px|A story book depicting Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} defeating [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}}]]
During the events of {{g|X and Y}}, the prevailing idea was that Mega Evolution was a phenomenon exclusive to the [[Kalos]] region,<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]: ''"And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the [[Kalos]] [[region]]? There's still so much we don't know..."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> where the first-ever Mega Evolution supposedly took place after a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{p|Lucario}} found the first known [[Mega Stone]] and Key Stone.<ref>NPC, [[Tower of Mastery]]: ''"Long, long ago, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} came to this land accompanied by a {{p|Lucario}}. They found two strange stones. This is said to have led to the world's first Mega Evolution."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref><ref>Painting, [[Lumiose Museum]]: ''"The [[Tower of Mastery]] stands to the north of [[Shalour City]]. Two strange stones were once discovered in this area, which are now thought to have been the first known [[Mega Stone]] and Key Stone."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> In the five years leading to {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, however, this notion seems to have been debunked,<ref>[[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Constance]]: ''"The story goes that this [[AZ]] person traveled all the way to some far-off region called [[Hoenn]]. There, he researched the origins of Mega Evolution to satisfy his own curiosity."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> with paintings of the [[Tower of Mastery]] at the [[Lumiose Museum]] now claiming that Lucario was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve in the Kalos region, specifically. Despite this, [[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory on the origin of Mega Stones being a consequence of the use of the [[ultimate weapon]] seems to still be upheld, at least partially, with AZ himself supporting his claims.<ref>[[Emma]]: ''"[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that Mega Stones formed three thousand years ago... when certain stones were irradiated by the light—the energy of the [[Legendary Pokémon]]—that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]. AZ nodded when he heard that. According to him, that's why we've been finding new types of Mega Stones recently. After all, the ultimate weapon was fired again five years ago..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, [[Sina]] implies the phenomenon does not naturally occur in regions far from Kalos, such as [[Alola]].<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"It's so mysterious... to be talking about Mega Evolution here, in a region so far away from Kalos..."'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}}).</ref>

According to Professors {{prof|Cozmo}} and Sycamore, Mega Evolution triggers the release of the entirety of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once,<ref>[[Professor Cozmo]]: ''"We will start off by artificially replicating the massive energy that is triggered at the time of Mega Evolution!"'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Lysandre]]: ''"According to Professor Sycamore's research, Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> implying a strong connection to a Pokémon's own life force. This is further suggested by the fact that [[Infinity Energy]], the power source used as fuel for the ultimate weapon, has been confirmed multiple times to be made of the life energy of Pokémon,<ref>[[Mr. Stone]]: ''"And what energy source could power such a dreadful weapon? Do you know? You see... It ran on the life energy of Pokémon. The energy that could be gained by the sacrifice of so many Pokémon..."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]], B3F: ''"The weapon will be powered by living Pokémon—or rather by the life energy they contain."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> and that the [[Devon Corporation]] researched into Mega Evolution in order to develop Infinity Energy. In addition, Pokémon Legends: Z-A introduces [[Mega Power]], a form of energy emitted by [[Ange]] from within [[Prism Tower]] that, when in excessive amounts, is able to make wild Pokémon enter a frenzied, Mega-Evolved state that heavily strains its body, a process known as [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]. [[Mable]] suggests that {{p|Xerneas}}'s life energy can act similar to Mega Power, enabling the phenomenon of Rogue Mega Evolution.<ref>[[Mable]]: ''"The excessive [[Mega Power]] from the tower caused [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], and if {{p|Xerneas}} shows up, something similar could happen again. I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> Mega Power can be stored in a [[Mega Ring]] and be used by the {{player}} to Mega Evolve a Pokémon or upgrade a [[move]] into a [[Plus Move]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Colress]] questions whether or not [[Z-Power]] can surpass the Mega Ring.<ref>[[Colress]]: ''"[[Z-Power]]... Is it the true potential that I seek? Does it surpass the [[Mega Ring]]?" ({{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}})''</ref> [[Dexio]] and Sina also imply that the two are similar due both being powered up by the Trainer-Pokémon relational bond.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"You know, when you think about it, the [[Z-Power Ring]] helps the feelings of a Trainer reach their Pokémon so it can use its [[Z-Move]], right? It only follows that it should be able to achieve Mega Evolution, too!"'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref>

Mega Evolution is also referenced in the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine and in the [[Paldea]] [[Pokédex]], where it is mentioned that {{p|Roaring Moon}} resembles Mega {{p|Salamence}}.

===In battle===
[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|right|240px|{{p|Blaziken}} Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]
In the [[core series]] games, Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. In {{LGPE}}, the player simply needs to have the required Mega Stone in their bag, since there is no held item feature. Although most media state that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their Trainer is needed, neither [[friendship]] nor [[affection]] is necessary to Mega Evolve in the games.

A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega {{p|Alakazam}} in [[Generation VI]]) has a [[base stat]] total 100 points higher than that of its base form, though in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Starmie}} have a greater increase in [[stat]]s. For all three, this is to make up for the lack of Abilities in the game (they all have Abilities that double their {{stat|Attack}} stats, namely {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}). Mega Zygarde gains only 70 points.

In any {{pkmn|battle}}, each {{pkmn|Trainer}} may only Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal [[move]], but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching out]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|sleep}}, or {{status|infatuation}} will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to attack that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. The moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail to move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, so its power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in {{stat|Speed}} at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is still possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The restriction of only one Mega Evolution per battle does not apply to transformed Pokémon.

====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order the turn the Pokémon undergoes Mega Evolution. A Pokémon with a lower Speed stat than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon whose Speed stat decreases after Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base {{stat|Defense}} stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before. Even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the [[player character]] activating the Mega Evolution with their [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as Prankster before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. {{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it is holding a [[Z-Crystal]].

In {{LGPE}}, as the [[held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

====Generation IX====
[[File:Rogue Mega Evolution.png|thumb|250px|left|A Rogue Mega {{p|Victreebel}}]]
Mega Evolution returned in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} after seven years of absence.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon are shown to now be surrounded by a rainbow-colored aura. It is manually activated while clicking the right thumb stick, but unlike in previous games, only when the "Mega Gauge" is full, which can be done by using moves on opposing Pokémon or by gathering orbs of [[Mega Power]], which are dropped by opposing Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Additionally, Mega Evolution no longer lasts until the end of the battle and is now on a time limit, which can be slightly extended by gathering Mega Power orbs. Mega Stones need to be held by the affiliated Pokémon in order to allow Mega Evolution. Unlike in previous games, the player can Mega Evolve their Pokémon multiple times per battle.

[[Rogue Mega Evolution]] is a phenomenon that causes [[wild Pokémon]] to Mega Evolve on their own, without the need of a Trainer. These Pokémon are apparently in pain, much bigger than normal after Mega Evolving, and surrounded by a pink-colored aura. Calming a Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon will reward the [[Mega Stone]] that is compatible with the defeated Pokémon. [[Team MZ]] is tasked with investigating this strange abnormality by [[Quasartico Inc.]]<ref>"[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-legends-z-a Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Pokémon.com]: ''"[[Quasartico Inc.]], the corporation driving [[Lumiose City]]'s redevelopment, will task you and the rest of [[Team MZ]] with aiding their investigation into these strange occurrences. Work together with your friends from Team MZ to take on and calm a variety of [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon. You can also obtain Mega Stones by pacifying Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon.''"</ref>

In the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC, Z Mega Evolution is introduced for the first time. Z Mega Evolutions take less time to unleash moves compared to other Mega Evolutions, but burn through [[Mega Power]] much faster.<ref name="MegaLucarioZ"/>

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|right|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a [[Pokémon Contest|Contest Spectacular]]]]
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega-Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

When summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is currently not in the player's game.

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon consumes [[Mega Energy]] to undergo Mega Evolution for 8 real life hours.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Masters)}}
Certain [[sync pair]]s can Mega Evolve their Pokémon by performing a [[sync move]] in Pokémon Masters EX since the game's launch.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
[[File:UNITE Mega Pokémon Official Artwork.png|200px|thumb|Four Mega Evolutions in Pokémon UNITE]]
{{p|Mewtwo}} can become [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|Mega Mewtwo X]] or [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mega Mewtwo Y]]. This is facilitated by its {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]], which has a Mega gauge which is filled by using [[basic attack]]s and {{UNITE|move}}s on members of the opposing team. If the gauge is full, and Mewtwo is at least [[Level]] 5, it will Mega Evolve.

Unlike in the [[core series]], Mewtwo can only be Mega Evolved for a set amount of time, delineated by the Mega gauge draining back to empty, after which it returns to being a normal Mewtwo. However, Mewtwo can refill its Mega gauge to Mega Evolve multiple times in the same battle. When Mega Evolved, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y have different basic attacks and increased stats compared to Mewtwo.

Starting from version 1.14.1.2, Mewtwo spends some of the [[Aeos energy]] it is holding when it Mega Evolves. The Mega Evolution will last longer if Mewtwo uses up more Aeos energy.

There are two [[Unite License]]s for Mewtwo. While both of them allow for using Mewtwo in a [[Unite Battle]], each one has separate characteristics. Only the Unite License X one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X, while the Unite License Y one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Starting from version 1.20.1.2, Mewtwo is required to hold its respective Mega Stone, either Mewtwonite X or Mewtwonite Y depending on the Unite License, as a held item.

In a letter from the producer released on July 15, 2025, it was announced that more Mega-Evolved Pokémon were planned to be added to the game to celebrate the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.<ref>[https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/19322/letter-from-the-producer-pokemon-unite-s-4th-anniversary Letter from the Producer—Pokémon UNITE’s 4th Anniversary]</ref> {{UNITE|Mega Lucario}} was the first of these new Mega Evolutions to release, followed by {{UNITE|Mega Charizard X}}. More Mega-Evolved Pokémon would also be released throughout the rest of 2025, including {{UNITE|Mega Gyarados}} and {{UNITE|Mega Charizard Y}}.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1962712084421992841]</ref>

Unlike Mewtwo, these Mega-Evolved Pokémon have separate [[Unite license]]s from their base forms. When using the Unite license, the Pokémon starts off in their base form, however they can only choose one specific set of moves and have a different [[Ability]]. When the Pokémon uses its [[Move (UNITE)#Unite Move|Unite Move]], it will Mega Evolve. When Mega Evolved, various aspects of the Pokémon are changed. The Pokémon's Ability is changed and their basic attacks and/or moves are upgraded in some way. Like Mewtwo, the Mega Evolution only lasts for a limited time and the Pokémon are also required to hold their respective Mega Stones as a held item.

====[[Pokémon Frienda]]====
Introduced during the [[Set 5 (Frienda)|fifth set]], Mega Evolution is one of the main mechanics that can be assigned to a Frienda Pick, similarly to [[Z-Move|Z-Moves]] and the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

At the start of each attacking turn, the player will be prompted with a '''Mega Evolution Chance!''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカチャンス！'''If the player decides to Mega Evolve their Pokémon, they will be presented with a rhythm game-esque "highway" of Mega Evolution marks and will be challenged to touch the Mega Evolution mark at the bottom of the screen as they intersect. Doing so accurately will increase the Pokémon's '''Mega Evolution Power''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカパワー'''). A total of five Mega Evolution marks will move down, and if the player is accurate enough with at least two marks, the Pokémon will Mega Evolve. Additionally, if the player uses the real-world Pokémon MEGA RING accessory, they will skip the requirement of needing at least two successful marks to activate mega evolution, and will be able to exceed the previous maximum power of Mega Evolution for an even stronger boost.

When a Mega Evolved Pokémon attacks, the Attack Roulette will apply a '''Mega Evolution Bonus!''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカボーナス！''') and upgrade the largest value to a double-size rainbow-colored space with a value equal to the Mega Evolution Power attained. The size of the rainbow-colored space will be increased even further with the Pokémon MEGA RING. A Pokémon will remain in its Mega Evolved form for as long as it is able to battle and only one Pokémon may Mega Evolve per session.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Mega Charizard X SSB4.png|thumb|250px|Charizard as Mega Charizard X in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.

Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.

Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[File:Meteorite Shuffle.png|link=]] [[Meteorite]]). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:
* Defeating a Pokémon's Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle, usually at the end of each {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage|main stage area}}.
* Completing certain objectives on [[Mission Card]]s.
* Reaching certain {{OBP|Trainer rank|Shuffle}}s by catching several different species of Pokémon.
* Achieving a high rank in a [[competitive stage]].
* Clearing certain milestone stages in an [[escalation battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge. This is filled by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, or by matching Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost}}({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost+|+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost++|++}}) {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The maximum amount of icons needed to fill the gauge can be permanently decreased by using [[File:Mega Speedup.png|20px|link=]] Mega Speedup {{DL|List of items in Pokémon Shuffle|Enhancements}}, with each Pokémon having a different maximum amount of Mega Speedups they can take.

Once a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its skill is replaced by its Mega Effect for the remainder of the battle. Mega Effect varies between Pokémon.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{Incomplete|section|Information for Stat modifiers while Mega Evolved}}

====[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]====
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[File:MDBag Awakening Emera VI Sprite.png]] [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into [[Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)#Berserk|Berserk mode]]. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its [[regular attack]] will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.
{{-}}

====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]====
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and in this game is achieved by eating an Empowerment Seed. Mega-Evolved Pokémon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status: linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups. Compared to the Awakened status, the only additional bonus Mega Evolution grants is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Some bosses will also undergo Mega Evolution:
* During {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will Mega Evolve randomly into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{pokken|Lucario}}, {{pokken|Garchomp}}, {{pokken|Gardevoir}}, {{pokken|Gengar}}, {{pokken|Charizard}}, {{pokken|Blaziken}}, {{pokken|Sceptile}}, {{pokken|Scizor}}, {{pokken|Blastoise}}, {{pokken|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega-Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

===[[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]]===
{{main|Pokémon ex (TCG Pocket)|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}
Mega Evolution Pokémon appear in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''' cards, a variation of {{TCGP|Pokémon ex}}, debuting in the [[Mega Rising (TCG Pocket)|Mega Rising]] expansion. Mega Evolution Pokémon ex cards in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket are designed to be similar to their counterparts in the physical [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], with yellow names and a black-and-yellow {{TCGP Icon|Mega ex}} symbol next to them. When a player's Mega Evolution Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, the opponent earns 3 points, thereby instantly winning the game.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''====
* In ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', the first Mega Evolution in {{pkmn|animated series}}-related media was featured, where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref>

====''Pokémon the Series: XY''====
* In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', the first Mega Evolution in an {{pkmn|animated series}} episode was featured where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Prism Tower]]. It has since been seen helping Ash and {{ashfr}} on numerous occasions.
* In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', a Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appeared as silhouettes while {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the Kalos [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.
** All known Mega Evolutions released at the time, those introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned special episode.

In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', it was shown in a flashback how one of Gurkinn's ancestors discovered a [[Key Stone]], while his Lucario discovered a [[Lucarionite]], leading to the first known Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', Korrina told Ash and his friends about a Trainer she had once met who had used a Mega Ampharos.

Later, a {{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond {{p|Diancie}} had created and given to Bonnie earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.
* In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared as well as a Mega {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}}.

The final Trainer of the row was the Kalos Elite Four member [[Malva]], who used a Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. At the end of the episode, Alain was also seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}}.
* In ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', a Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].
* In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', [[Wulfric]] Mega Evolved his {{p|Abomasnow}} to battle against [[Ash's Greninja]] during their [[Gym]] battle.

With the exception of [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Mega Gardevoir, all other Pokémon were forcibly Mega Evolved through a special device known as Mega Wave, which was being used by [[Alva]] and his minions [[Levi]] and [[Cherie]] to utilize Mega Evolution without the need of a bond. A Mega Wave evolved Mega Heracross and Mega Pinsir were also loaned to Team Rocket.

[[File:X full Mega Evolution Adventures.png|250px|thumb|X's team achieving multiple Mega Evolutions at once in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
*In ''[[PS550|X-actly What They Wanted]]'', when [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*In ''[[PS555|The Aegislash Agenda]]'', when X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.

*In ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]'' and ''[[PS561|Heracross Transforms]]'', the Mega Evolved forms of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos in fantasies when [[Gurkinn]] explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In ''Heracross Transforms'', Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*In ''[[568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', during a flashback of Korrina's succession ceremony, [[Gurkinn's students|three Successors]] demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Alakazam}}, respectively.
*In ''[[PS567|Morphing Manectric]]'', X Mega Evolves his newly caught Manectric into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*In ''[[PS575|Changing Gengar]]'', Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. It was given to X, at which point he nicknamed him Garma. It also had a [[Gengarite]], which allows X to Mega Evolve him into Mega Gengar.
*In ''[[PS585|Pinsir Changes]]'', while confronting Essentia, X's {{p|Pinsir|Rute}} and Y's {{p|Absol|Solsol}} are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve.
*In ''[[PS589|Charizard Transforms]]'', both X's [[Salamè]] and {{adv|Blue}}'s {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.

*In ''[[PS592|Zygarde Agitated]]'', X used the [[Key Stone]]s of Diantha, Blaine, Y, and Korrina, along with his own, to Mega Evolve five of his Pokémon: Kanga and Li'l Kanga, Salamè, Élec, Garma, and Rute. Doing so, however, caused him severe mental stress, forcing him to focus on [[Lysandre|a single target]].
*In ''[[PS595|Magearna Moves]]'', [[Gurkinn's students]] Mega Evolved their {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Banette}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} for Trevor to study.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====

*In ''[[PS597|Latias Flies]]'', {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were shown learning how to Mega Evolve their Pokémon from [[Ultima]].

*In [[PS611]], footage of {{p|Rayquaza}} Mega Evolving was seen.
*In [[PS616]], {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega {{p|Gallade}} and Mega {{p|Gardevoir}} respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.

===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===
{{sectionstub}}

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
In [[Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby Crimson Passion and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Indigo Wisdom===
{{sectionstub}}

===Pokémon Journeys===
During a flashback in ''[[JNM10|Toughing It Out!]]'', it was revealed that Ash fought {{an|Korrina}}'s Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in a [[World Coronation Series]] battle.

==In the TCG==
===XY Series===
{{main|Pokémon-EX|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon}}
In the XY Series, Mega Evolution first appears in the {{TCG|XY}} set in the form of '''{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Evolution Pokémon}}''', also known as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. Their names have {{Mega}} as a prefix and {{EX}} as a suffix. They additionally have a distinct stage of "MEGA", which serve as an Evolution of Pokémon-EX cards and are played by putting them on top of their corresponding Basic Pokémon-EX. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}} attached to it.

[[Atsushi Nagashima]], the game director for the TCG, has stated that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Pokémon-EX because it would be impractical to evolve a single Pokémon three times during a game, and implementing Mega Evolution in that manner would constrain deck-building.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-pokemon-cards-are-made/1100-6459450/ How Pokemon Cards Are Made | GameSpot]</ref> The team had considered restricting players to one Mega-Evolved Pokémon per deck, but rejected this idea, as they wanted to enable players to build decks based around Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140101195743/https://www.pokemon-card.com/blog/2013/12/000367.html クリエイター～ゲームディレクター長島敦スペシャル対談～ | pokemon-card.com,] archived January 1st, 2014</ref>

===Sun & Moon Series===
In {{TCG|Unified Minds}} and {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}}, two {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} were printed that feature Mega-Evolved Pokémon as one of the two members of the tag team. These cards have no special mechanics outside of those which are part of the TAG TEAM mechanics.

===Mega Evolution Series===
{{main|Pokémon ex|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}
Mega-Evolved Pokémon return in the English {{TCG|Mega Evolution}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Mega Brave/Mega Symphonia|Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia}} expansions) as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon ex}}. They have a black-and-yellow {{Mega ex}} symbol next to their names. Unlike Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX from the XY series, these Pokémon ex share the same Evolution Stage as their base form — for example, {{TCG ID|Mega Evolution|Mega Gardevoir ex|60}} evolves from Kirlia and is a Stage 2 Pokémon. While they feature stronger attacks and more HP than normal Pokémon ex of their Evolution Stage, they also feature the Mega Evolution Pokémon ex rule, causing them to grant three Prize Cards when they are Knocked Out, rather than the typical two for Pokémon ex.

===List of Pokémon cards featuring Mega Evolution Pokémon===

==Trivia==
* There is at least one Mega-Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from every [[generation]] and of every [[type]].
** Currently, [[Generation III]] has both the most Mega Evolutions and the most Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving (with 22 and 21, respectively), while [[Generation VIII]] has the fewest overall (with {{p|Falinks|one}}).
** {{t|Dragon}} has the most Mega Evolutions (with 17), while {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ice}} are tied for having the fewest (with five each).
** No Mega-Evolved Pokémon has {{t|Flying}} as its primary type.
* Only fully evolved Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Floette}} is the only exception to this, though only in its {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} form, which is incapable of evolving into or from any Pokémon.
* {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Absol}}, {{p|Lucario}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} all have more than one Mega Evolution, accessible through distinct [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Similarly, {{p|Magearna}} and {{p|Tatsugiri}} have different appearances while Mega-Evolved depending on their form (Magearna's regular and Original Color forms and Tatsugiri's {{form|Tatsugiri|Curly, Droopy, and Stretchy}} Forms), but are nonetheless considered to have only one Mega Evolution each.
* All Pokémon that evolve with a [[Dawn Stone]] are capable of Mega Evolution.
* 74 Pokémon retain their original type combination upon Mega Evolving.
** {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, Mewtwo (into Mega Mewtwo X), {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Sceptile}}, Chimecho, {{p|Absol}} (into Mega Absol Z), {{p|Lopunny}}, and {{p|Audino}} all become dual-type upon Mega Evolving.
** {{p|Aggron}} and {{p|Garchomp}} (into Mega Garchomp Z) both become single-type upon Mega Evolving.
** Charizard (into Mega Charizard X), {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Staraptor}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, and {{p|Golisopod}} all change one of their types to a new one upon Mega Evolving.
*** Notably, Staraptor is the only such case in which it changes its primary type, rather than its secondary one.
* Mega Feraligatr, Mega Audino, and Mega Golisopod are the only Mega Evolutions that do not share any [[weakness]]es with their normal forms.
* Some Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution also have access to other forms or battle mechanics:
** Raichu and {{p|Slowbro}} are the only Pokémon to have a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
** Raichu, between its Kantonian and [[Alolan form]], is the only Pokémon to have a Mega Evolution and an exclusive [[Z-Move]]: {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}.
** The fully evolved [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].
* Some Mega-Evolved Pokémon have unique attributes:
** Mega Altaria is the only one with a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
** Mega {{p|Zygarde}} is the only one whose moveset changes upon Mega Evolving, with {{m|Nihil Light}} replacing {{m|Core Enforcer}}.
* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolving.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon to not have a designated Mega Stone, as it doesn't need one to Mega Evolve in the core series games that include Mega Evolution, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolving, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the [[Meteorite]] for it to Mega Evolve.

===Designs===
* Design-wise, multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon seem to incorporate traits from their previous [[evolution]]ary stages:
** Mega {{p|Venusaur}} restores patches of dark teal spots on its face, similar to what {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}} had around its body.
** Continuing the design traits that both {{p|Charmeleon}} and {{p|Charizard}} had, as well as some elements of {{p|Charmander}} before its [[Generation III]] redesign, Mega Charizard Y features numerous spikes and horns along its neck and tail.
** Both of {{p|Raichu}}'s Mega Evolutions have {{p|Pikachu}}-like features:<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Mega Raichu X has red cheeks, bright yellow fur, and a forked zig-zag tail, while Mega Raichu Y has Pikachu's body shape, ears, and tail.
** Mega {{p|Clefable}} has dark pink, oval cheek markings resembling those of {{p|Cleffa}} and {{p|Clefairy}}.
** Mega {{p|Dragonite}} gains features distinctive of {{p|Dragonair}}, such as the wings on its head and the pearl on its tail.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-dragonite Mega Dragonite | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Furthermore, its Shiny is azure-colored, which calls back to {{p|Dratini}} and Dragonair's regular colorations.
** Mega {{p|Feraligatr}}'s dorsal fin resembles a gigantic {{p|Totodile}}'s head, leading to it being referred to as a "Totodile mask".<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-feraligatr Mega Totodile | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>
** Mega {{p|Ampharos}}'s tail and head are covered in white fur,<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos Mega Ampharos | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150427074403/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos archived])</ref> which is the wool it originally had as a {{p|Mareep}} and {{p|Flaaffy}} that has regrown due to the excess energy from Mega Evolution stimulating its genes.
** Like its base form, Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}'s chest plate, back spikes, and eye-like marking resemble {{p|Pupitar}}. The horn atop its head similarly resembles {{p|Larvitar}}'s own, and the red eyes and diamonds reference Larvitar as well.
** Mega {{p|Aggron}}'s head plate is reminiscent of {{p|Lairon}}'s in reverse, while base form Aggron's is reminiscent of {{p|Aron}}'s.
** Mega {{p|Chimecho}} grows a golden frame with fake eyes and arms reminiscent of {{p|Chingling}}.
** Mega {{p|Salamence}} has shorter forelimbs and longer hind limbs than its base form, as well as a smooth lower jaw, all of which bring to mind {{p|Bagon}}. The armor encasing its body and substantial Defense increase bear homage to {{p|Shelgon}}; its green sclera likewise evoke Shelgon's yellow sclera.
** Mega {{p|Metagross}} is said to be the result of one Metagross, one {{p|Metang}}, and two {{p|Beldum}} linking up. Its body plan strongly resembles Metang's as well.
** Mega {{p|Scolipede}}'s lavender-colored armor is reminiscent of {{p|Whirlipede}}; this holds true for the violet armor of its Shiny coloration.
** Mega {{p|Eelektross}}'s arms are covered by mucus in the shape of {{p|Eelektrik}}, named "false Eelektrik".<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-eelektross Mega Eelektross | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>
** Mega {{p|Glimmora}}'s main body resembles {{p|Glimmet}}.
* Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} features a {{wp|Delta (letter)|delta}} motif, matching the designs of [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} (which incorporate the Greek letters {{wp|alpha}} and {{wp|omega}}, respectively). As the letter delta resembles a triangle when capitalized, it may also connect to {{p|Deoxys}}, which is known to assume a triangle-shaped form when inactive.
* No Mega-Evolved Pokémon has [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], even if they Mega Evolve from a Pokémon that has one.
** For Pokémon with significant differences due to gender, the Mega-Evolved form is a combination of the male and female forms: Mega {{p|Pyroar}} combines the male and female forms' respective manes into one, while Mega {{p|Meowstic}} resembles a {{wp|Chimera (genetics)|chimeric}} fusion of the male and female forms.
** While technically different species, Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} resemble one another much more strongly than their base forms. Additionally, Latias grows more than Latios when Mega Evolving, which brings them closer together in height and weight.
* In contrast to the other [[Paradox Pokémon]], {{p|Roaring Moon}} has elements of Mega {{p|Salamence}} in its design instead of its regular form.
** Roaring Moon has been compared specifically to Salamence "when they undergo a certain phenomenon" (i.e. Mega Salamence) in a copy of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], though it is left uncertain if there is any connection between them. Roaring Moon's [[Pokédex entry]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] references the Occulture article and Mega Evolution as well.
** An article on the English Press Website for [[The Pokémon Company International]] on Pokémon Legends: Z-A's March 2025 [[Nintendo Direct]] trailer accidentally labeled one of the files corresponding to Mega Salamence as "Roaring Moon". This was fixed later that day.<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/New-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Details-Revealed-During-Nintendo-Direct The Pokémon Company International Official Press Site: New Pokémon Legends: Z-A Details Revealed During Nintendo Direct] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20250327154906/https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/New-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Details-Revealed-During-Nintendo-Direct archived])</ref>

===Core series===
* The Japanese and Korean logos for {{g|X and Y}} include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* At least one Mega Evolution of every type was introduced in each core series game that introduced new Mega Evolutions, with the exception of the {{t|Electric}} type in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
** If counted on its own, the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}} also did not introduce a Mega Evolution of each type, with no new Mega-Evolved Pokémon being {{t|Normal}} type. However, counting {{p|Staraptor}} (who loses its {{type|Normal}} typing upon Mega Evolving) at least one Pokémon of every type is given a new Mega Evolution.
* As of [[Generation IX]], there are seven {{Abilities}} {{cat|Mega Evolution-exclusive Abilities|exclusive}} to Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
* The most common Abilities among Mega-Evolved Pokémon are {{a|Levitate}} and {{a|Magic Bounce}}, tied with four Pokémon each.
* Due to Mega Evolution being absent from {{g|Sword and Shield}} through {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the status of some Abilities was affected:
** {{a|Aerilate}}, {{a|Parental Bond}}, and {{a|Delta Stream}} became unusable despite existing in the game data.
** {{a|Refrigerate}}, {{a|Mega Launcher}}, and {{a|Pixilate}} became the signature Ability of {{p|Amaura}}'s evolutionary line, {{p|Clauncher}}'s evolutionary line, and {{p|Sylveon}}, respectively.
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into Pokémon X and Y; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their [[Mega Stone]]s are not banned from trades from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to Pokémon X and Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in Pokémon X and Y, but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2015/04/mega-flygon-excluded-from-xyoras-because-of-artists-block Mega Flygon Excluded from XY/ORAS Because of Artist's Block | PokeBeach], translation of Nintendo Dream interview scan</ref>

===Animated series===
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], only 36 out of 93 Mega Evolutions have appeared in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

** Mega {{p|Dragonite}} is the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon to have debuted in the animated series before the official release of the game it first appears.
** Some Mega-Evolved Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] have only debuted in later series:
*** Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Mega {{p|Aggron}}, and Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|SM}}.
*** Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}}, and Mega {{p|Altaria}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|JN}}.
*** Mega {{p|Sableye}}, Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}, Mega {{p|Medicham}}, Mega {{p|Aerodactyl}}, Mega {{p|Glalie}}, and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|HZ}}.
* Four Mega-Evolved Pokémon have only appeared as {{Shiny}} Pokémon in the animated series, outside of appearances in movies or specials, those being Mega {{p|Metagross}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}} Z, Mega Rayquaza, and Mega {{p|Zygarde}}.

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is an [[item]]-induced [[Form|transformation]] introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is present in the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} [[core series]] games, and has reappeared in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and its [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]]. Mega Evolution has also appeared in {{spin-off games}} such as {{g|GO}}, {{g|Masters EX}}, and {{g|UNITE}}, as well as in the [[side series]] title {{g|Champions}}.

Certain Pokémon can undergo Mega Evolution by having their Trainer activate their [[Key Stone]] while the Pokémon holds their corresponding [[Mega Stone]]. There are currently 87 species of Pokémon that are known to be capable of Mega Evolution, and there are currently 93 (or 96, counting specific variations) different known Mega Evolutions.

==Terminology==
The term '''Mega Evolution''' describes both the phenomenon<ref>{{p|Roaring Moon}}'s [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] [[Pokédex]] entry: ''"According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region."''</ref> and the transformed Pokémon. The related verb is '''Mega Evolve'''.

The '''Mega-Evolved''' Pokémon<ref group="lower-alpha">"Mega Evolved" is hyphenated as "Mega-Evolved" when used as an adjective before a noun e.g. "Mega-Evolved Pokémon" or "Mega-Evolved form". [https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/elevate-heroic-hoenn-pokemon-with-mega-evolution Elevate Heroic Hoenn Pokémon with Mega Evolution], [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Shuffle-Launch-Announced-New-Pokemon-Discovered-in-Pokemon-Ome Pokémon Shuffle Launch Announced, New Pokémon Discovered in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire], Press release, [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://www.pokemon.com/uk/strategy/a-guide-to-mega-evolution-in-pokemon-go A Guide to Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref> are identified by the prefix "'''Mega'''" in their name, such as Mega {{p|Altaria}} or Mega {{p|Meganium}}.

Pokémon with two Mega Evolutions use one of two naming conventions:
* Both Mega Evolutions are followed by either the letter X or Y (e.g., Mega {{p|Charizard}} X and Mega Charizard Y).
* If one form is a Z Mega Evolution, only that form will be followed by the letter Z (e.g., Mega {{p|Lucario}} and Mega Lucario Z).

==Overview==
[[File:Ralts Evolution Z-A.png|thumb|right|250px|The Evolution line for {{p|Ralts}} leading up to Mega {{p|Gardevoir}}]]
Described as "[[Evolution]] that transcends Evolution",<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-gb/story/#:~:text=Prepare%20for%20Mega%20Evolution! Prepare for Mega Evolution! | Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref> the process of Mega Evolution drastically increases a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s strength, as evident by the increase in [[base stat]]s upon Mega Evolving,<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Mega-Evolved Pokémon | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ archived])</ref> as well as the fact that it occurs only on Pokémon that are not able to evolve any further. Despite its name, Mega Evolution differs from regular Evolution in the sense that it is only a temporary transformation. To Mega Evolve, a Pokémon requires a strong bond with its {{pkmn|Trainer}},<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution Mega Evolution | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150208104005/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution archived])</ref><ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/new-mega-evolutions New Mega Evolutions | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062733/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/new-mega-evolutions archived])</ref> and two specific items are required for the process: a corresponding [[Mega Stone]] (except for {{p|Rayquaza}}, who only needs to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}), and a [[Key Stone]] for the Trainer.<ref>{{mas|Professor Sycamore}}: ''"Well, theoretically, Mega Evolution should only be possible through the use of two [[Key Stone|special]] [[Mega Stone|stones]] by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who share a strong bond."'' ({{g|Masters EX}})</ref> Mega Evolution imparts a Pokémon with even greater power by unleashing its hidden energy.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/mega-pokemon Mega Evolution | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Only Pokémon who cannot evolve further can undergo Mega Evolution, including Pokémon that should be able to evolve, but cannot.<ref>[[Naveen]]: ''"I have a question—why would Floette be able to Mega Evolve at all? Normally Pokémon can only Mega Evolve when they aren’t capable of evolving any further... Shouldn’t Floette be able to evolve into Florges?"'' [[AZ]]: ''"My Floette cannot evolve... Perhaps because she is such a special Pokémon, having received the lives of so many others... Though that is only my conjecture."''</ref>

Along with the power boost, Mega Evolution triggers a transformation in the Pokémon's appearance and behavior. In the case of {{p|Slowbro}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and {{p|Floette}}, only one component of the Pokémon absorbs the Mega Evolution energy, while the main body remains unchanged. Even though it is usually described as beneficial, some Pokémon, like {{p|Scizor}} or {{p|Houndoom}}, are said to experience discomfort while Mega Evolved. Additionally, it may change the Pokémon's [[Ability]] to a set one (for instance, a regular {{p|Venusaur}} can have the standard Ability {{a|Overgrow}} or the [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|Chlorophyll}}, but a Mega Venusaur always has {{a|Thick Fat}}) and may also alter its [[type]], be it by adding, changing, or removing one (Mega {{p|Ampharos}}, Mega {{p|Gyarados}}, and Mega {{p|Aggron}}, respectively, are examples of such cases). Certain Pokémon even gain a new {{pkmn|category}} upon Mega Evolution; e.g., Darkrai is known as the Pitch-Black Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]] and the Bad Dreams Pokémon as Mega Darkrai.

{{g|Legends: Z-A}} introduces the concept of '''[[Rogue Mega Evolution]]''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|暴走メガシンカ|Bōsō Mega-shinka}}''' ''Rampaging Mega Evolution''), whereby [[wild Pokémon]] undergo Mega Evolution on their own after exposure to high concentrations of [[Mega Power]], which drives them into a berserk, painful state. The [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] further introduces the concept of '''Z Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚと名のつくメガシンカ|Z to Na no Tsuku Mega-shinka}}''' ''Mega Evolution with the name Z''), a type of Mega Evolution in which the Pokémon consumes Mega Power at twice the rate of a regular Mega Evolution, but has zero wind-up time on all its [[Move|moves]].<ref name="MegaLucarioZ">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_lucario_z A New Mega-Evolved Pokémon Is Here | Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension]</ref>

[[File:Lumiose Museum Mega Lucario Statue Replica ZA.png|thumb|200px|A replica of the Mega {{p|Lucario}} statue from the [[Tower of Mastery]]]]
The phenomenon of Mega Evolution originated in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], with {{p|Rayquaza}} being the first-ever Pokémon to Mega Evolve.<ref>[[Draconid people|Draconid descendant]], [[Meteor Falls]]: "''Yes, I am one of the [[Draconid people]]. One of the ancient folk tasked with passing down the knowledge of Mega Evolution—with the great lore of Lord {{p|Rayquaza}}, who was the beginning of all."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Korrina]], [[Hyperspace Sky Pillar]]: ''"I'm gonna get to meet—and battle—the very first Pokémon that ever Mega Evolved..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}} — [[Mega Dimension]])</ref> According to the legend, as told by [[Zinnia]] at [[Sky Pillar]] and reiterated by [[Ansha]], a huge meteoroid struck the planet 1,000 years ago, creating the crater where currently lies [[Sootopolis City]] and causing natural energy to pour out of the cracks. In turn, this caused [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} to reawaken and fight for it over endless, world-defining clashes. The people at the time, the [[Draconid people|Draconids]], could only stand by and wish for Rayquaza to appear and bring salvation, as it had done before. Responding to the Draconids' wishes, Rayquaza descended over the brilliant meteoroid and transformed into a sublime figure before quelling the conflict—in this sense, the meteoroid acted as a [[Key Stone]], amplifying the wishes into the bond necessary to connect the people to Rayquaza, who already had the innate potential to Mega Evolve. [[AZ]] witnessed these events.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"A witness to this series of events, a tall [[AZ|visitor]] from a [[Kalos|distant land]], said, “It is the Δ (Delta), born of the great disturbances in this world. By the bonds born of mankind's wish and the power of the stones, it will calm the troubles that plague the world.”"'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Emma]]: ''"Ah! I just remembered that [[AZ]] mentioned something else. He said during his long journey searching for {{p|Floette}}, he saw a phenomenon in [[Hoenn]] that may have been the beginning of all Mega Evolution!"'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> The meeting between humanity and Rayquaza allowed for the mechanism behind the phenomenon to be understood, which led to the current theory of Mega Evolution.<ref>Scientist, [[Devon Corporation]]: "''Those who saw the way that Rayquaza, possessing this special power, reacted to their [[Key Stone]]s to transform itself, began research into the subject. It came to be recognized as a form of [[Evolution]], a new possibility for Pokémon. And what we stitched together from all of this long research is the current theory of Mega Evolution."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref>
[[File:Super-ancient Pokémon storybook.png|thumb|left|250px|A story book depicting Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} defeating [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}}]]
During the events of {{g|X and Y}}, the prevailing idea was that Mega Evolution was a phenomenon exclusive to the [[Kalos]] region,<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]: ''"And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the [[Kalos]] [[region]]? There's still so much we don't know..."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> where the first-ever Mega Evolution supposedly took place after a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{p|Lucario}} found the first known [[Mega Stone]] and Key Stone.<ref>NPC, [[Tower of Mastery]]: ''"Long, long ago, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} came to this land accompanied by a {{p|Lucario}}. They found two strange stones. This is said to have led to the world's first Mega Evolution."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref><ref>Painting, [[Lumiose Museum]]: ''"The [[Tower of Mastery]] stands to the north of [[Shalour City]]. Two strange stones were once discovered in this area, which are now thought to have been the first known [[Mega Stone]] and Key Stone."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> In the five years leading to {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, however, this notion seems to have been debunked,<ref>[[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Constance]]: ''"The story goes that this [[AZ]] person traveled all the way to some far-off region called [[Hoenn]]. There, he researched the origins of Mega Evolution to satisfy his own curiosity."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> with paintings of the [[Tower of Mastery]] at the [[Lumiose Museum]] now claiming that Lucario was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve in the Kalos region, specifically. Despite this, [[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory on the origin of Mega Stones being a consequence of the use of the [[ultimate weapon]] seems to still be upheld, at least partially, with AZ himself supporting his claims.<ref>[[Emma]]: ''"[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that Mega Stones formed three thousand years ago... when certain stones were irradiated by the light—the energy of the [[Legendary Pokémon]]—that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]. AZ nodded when he heard that. According to him, that's why we've been finding new types of Mega Stones recently. After all, the ultimate weapon was fired again five years ago..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, [[Sina]] implies the phenomenon does not naturally occur in regions far from Kalos, such as [[Alola]].<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"It's so mysterious... to be talking about Mega Evolution here, in a region so far away from Kalos..."'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}}).</ref>

According to Professors {{prof|Cozmo}} and Sycamore, Mega Evolution triggers the release of the entirety of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once,<ref>[[Professor Cozmo]]: ''"We will start off by artificially replicating the massive energy that is triggered at the time of Mega Evolution!"'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Lysandre]]: ''"According to Professor Sycamore's research, Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> implying a strong connection to a Pokémon's own life force. This is further suggested by the fact that [[Infinity Energy]], the power source used as fuel for the ultimate weapon, has been confirmed multiple times to be made of the life energy of Pokémon,<ref>[[Mr. Stone]]: ''"And what energy source could power such a dreadful weapon? Do you know? You see... It ran on the life energy of Pokémon. The energy that could be gained by the sacrifice of so many Pokémon..."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]], B3F: ''"The weapon will be powered by living Pokémon—or rather by the life energy they contain."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> and that the [[Devon Corporation]] researched into Mega Evolution in order to develop Infinity Energy. In addition, Pokémon Legends: Z-A introduces [[Mega Power]], a form of energy emitted by [[Ange]] from within [[Prism Tower]] that, when in excessive amounts, is able to make wild Pokémon enter a frenzied, Mega-Evolved state that heavily strains its body, a process known as [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]. [[Mable]] suggests that {{p|Xerneas}}'s life energy can act similar to Mega Power, enabling the phenomenon of Rogue Mega Evolution.<ref>[[Mable]]: ''"The excessive [[Mega Power]] from the tower caused [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], and if {{p|Xerneas}} shows up, something similar could happen again. I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> Mega Power can be stored in a [[Mega Ring]] and be used by the {{player}} to Mega Evolve a Pokémon or upgrade a [[move]] into a [[Plus Move]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Colress]] questions whether or not [[Z-Power]] can surpass the Mega Ring.<ref>[[Colress]]: ''"[[Z-Power]]... Is it the true potential that I seek? Does it surpass the [[Mega Ring]]?" ({{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}})''</ref> [[Dexio]] and Sina also imply that the two are similar due both being powered up by the Trainer-Pokémon relational bond.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"You know, when you think about it, the [[Z-Power Ring]] helps the feelings of a Trainer reach their Pokémon so it can use its [[Z-Move]], right? It only follows that it should be able to achieve Mega Evolution, too!"'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref>

Mega Evolution is also referenced in the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine and in the [[Paldea]] [[Pokédex]], where it is mentioned that {{p|Roaring Moon}} resembles Mega {{p|Salamence}}.

===In battle===
[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|right|240px|{{p|Blaziken}} Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]
In the [[core series]] games, Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. In {{LGPE}}, the player simply needs to have the required Mega Stone in their bag, since there is no held item feature. Although most media state that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their Trainer is needed, neither [[friendship]] nor [[affection]] is necessary to Mega Evolve in the games.

A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega {{p|Alakazam}} in [[Generation VI]]) has a [[base stat]] total 100 points higher than that of its base form, though in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Starmie}} have a greater increase in [[stat]]s. For all three, this is to make up for the lack of Abilities in the game (they all have Abilities that double their {{stat|Attack}} stats, namely {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}). Mega Zygarde gains only 70 points.

In any {{pkmn|battle}}, each {{pkmn|Trainer}} may only Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal [[move]], but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching out]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|sleep}}, or {{status|infatuation}} will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to attack that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. The moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail to move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, so its power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in {{stat|Speed}} at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is still possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The restriction of only one Mega Evolution per battle does not apply to transformed Pokémon.

====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order the turn the Pokémon undergoes Mega Evolution. A Pokémon with a lower Speed stat than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon whose Speed stat decreases after Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base {{stat|Defense}} stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before. Even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the [[player character]] activating the Mega Evolution with their [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as Prankster before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. {{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it is holding a [[Z-Crystal]].

In {{LGPE}}, as the [[held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

====Generation IX====
[[File:Rogue Mega Evolution.png|thumb|250px|left|A Rogue Mega {{p|Victreebel}}]]
Mega Evolution returned in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} after seven years of absence.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon are shown to now be surrounded by a rainbow-colored aura. It is manually activated while clicking the right thumb stick, but unlike in previous games, only when the "Mega Gauge" is full, which can be done by using moves on opposing Pokémon or by gathering orbs of [[Mega Power]], which are dropped by opposing Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Additionally, Mega Evolution no longer lasts until the end of the battle and is now on a time limit, which can be slightly extended by gathering Mega Power orbs. Mega Stones need to be held by the affiliated Pokémon in order to allow Mega Evolution. Unlike in previous games, the player can Mega Evolve their Pokémon multiple times per battle.

[[Rogue Mega Evolution]] is a phenomenon that causes [[wild Pokémon]] to Mega Evolve on their own, without the need of a Trainer. These Pokémon are apparently in pain, much bigger than normal after Mega Evolving, and surrounded by a pink-colored aura. Calming a Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon will reward the [[Mega Stone]] that is compatible with the defeated Pokémon. [[Team MZ]] is tasked with investigating this strange abnormality by [[Quasartico Inc.]]<ref>"[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-legends-z-a Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Pokémon.com]: ''"[[Quasartico Inc.]], the corporation driving [[Lumiose City]]'s redevelopment, will task you and the rest of [[Team MZ]] with aiding their investigation into these strange occurrences. Work together with your friends from Team MZ to take on and calm a variety of [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon. You can also obtain Mega Stones by pacifying Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon.''"</ref>

In the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC, Z Mega Evolution is introduced for the first time. Z Mega Evolutions take less time to unleash moves compared to other Mega Evolutions, but burn through [[Mega Power]] much faster.<ref name="MegaLucarioZ"/>

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|right|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a [[Pokémon Contest|Contest Spectacular]]]]
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega-Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

When summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is currently not in the player's game.

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon consumes [[Mega Energy]] to undergo Mega Evolution for 8 real life hours.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Masters)}}
Certain [[sync pair]]s can Mega Evolve their Pokémon by performing a [[sync move]] in Pokémon Masters EX since the game's launch.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
[[File:UNITE Mega Pokémon Official Artwork.png|200px|thumb|Four Mega Evolutions in Pokémon UNITE]]
{{p|Mewtwo}} can become [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|Mega Mewtwo X]] or [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mega Mewtwo Y]]. This is facilitated by its {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]], which has a Mega gauge which is filled by using [[basic attack]]s and {{UNITE|move}}s on members of the opposing team. If the gauge is full, and Mewtwo is at least [[Level]] 5, it will Mega Evolve.

Unlike in the [[core series]], Mewtwo can only be Mega Evolved for a set amount of time, delineated by the Mega gauge draining back to empty, after which it returns to being a normal Mewtwo. However, Mewtwo can refill its Mega gauge to Mega Evolve multiple times in the same battle. When Mega Evolved, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y have different basic attacks and increased stats compared to Mewtwo.

Starting from version 1.14.1.2, Mewtwo spends some of the [[Aeos energy]] it is holding when it Mega Evolves. The Mega Evolution will last longer if Mewtwo uses up more Aeos energy.

There are two [[Unite License]]s for Mewtwo. While both of them allow for using Mewtwo in a [[Unite Battle]], each one has separate characteristics. Only the Unite License X one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X, while the Unite License Y one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Starting from version 1.20.1.2, Mewtwo is required to hold its respective Mega Stone, either Mewtwonite X or Mewtwonite Y depending on the Unite License, as a held item.

In a letter from the producer released on July 15, 2025, it was announced that more Mega-Evolved Pokémon were planned to be added to the game to celebrate the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.<ref>[https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/19322/letter-from-the-producer-pokemon-unite-s-4th-anniversary Letter from the Producer—Pokémon UNITE’s 4th Anniversary]</ref> {{UNITE|Mega Lucario}} was the first of these new Mega Evolutions to release, followed by {{UNITE|Mega Charizard X}}. More Mega-Evolved Pokémon would also be released throughout the rest of 2025, including {{UNITE|Mega Gyarados}} and {{UNITE|Mega Charizard Y}}.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1962712084421992841]</ref>

Unlike Mewtwo, these Mega-Evolved Pokémon have separate [[Unite license]]s from their base forms. When using the Unite license, the Pokémon starts off in their base form, however they can only choose one specific set of moves and have a different [[Ability]]. When the Pokémon uses its [[Move (UNITE)#Unite Move|Unite Move]], it will Mega Evolve. When Mega Evolved, various aspects of the Pokémon are changed. The Pokémon's Ability is changed and their basic attacks and/or moves are upgraded in some way. Like Mewtwo, the Mega Evolution only lasts for a limited time and the Pokémon are also required to hold their respective Mega Stones as a held item.

====[[Pokémon Frienda]]====
Introduced during the [[Set 5 (Frienda)|fifth set]], Mega Evolution is one of the main mechanics that can be assigned to a Frienda Pick, similarly to [[Z-Move|Z-Moves]] and the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

At the start of each attacking turn, the player will be prompted with a '''Mega Evolution Chance!''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカチャンス！'''If the player decides to Mega Evolve their Pokémon, they will be presented with a rhythm game-esque "highway" of Mega Evolution marks and will be challenged to touch the Mega Evolution mark at the bottom of the screen as they intersect. Doing so accurately will increase the Pokémon's '''Mega Evolution Power''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカパワー'''). A total of five Mega Evolution marks will move down, and if the player is accurate enough with at least two marks, the Pokémon will Mega Evolve. Additionally, if the player uses the real-world Pokémon MEGA RING accessory, they will skip the requirement of needing at least two successful marks to activate mega evolution, and will be able to exceed the previous maximum power of Mega Evolution for an even stronger boost.

When a Mega Evolved Pokémon attacks, the Attack Roulette will apply a '''Mega Evolution Bonus!''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカボーナス！''') and upgrade the largest value to a double-size rainbow-colored space with a value equal to the Mega Evolution Power attained. The size of the rainbow-colored space will be increased even further with the Pokémon MEGA RING. A Pokémon will remain in its Mega Evolved form for as long as it is able to battle and only one Pokémon may Mega Evolve per session.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Mega Charizard X SSB4.png|thumb|250px|Charizard as Mega Charizard X in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.

Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.

Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[File:Meteorite Shuffle.png|link=]] [[Meteorite]]). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:
* Defeating a Pokémon's Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle, usually at the end of each {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage|main stage area}}.
* Completing certain objectives on [[Mission Card]]s.
* Reaching certain {{OBP|Trainer rank|Shuffle}}s by catching several different species of Pokémon.
* Achieving a high rank in a [[competitive stage]].
* Clearing certain milestone stages in an [[escalation battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge. This is filled by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, or by matching Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost}}({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost+|+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost++|++}}) {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The maximum amount of icons needed to fill the gauge can be permanently decreased by using [[File:Mega Speedup.png|20px|link=]] Mega Speedup {{DL|List of items in Pokémon Shuffle|Enhancements}}, with each Pokémon having a different maximum amount of Mega Speedups they can take.

Once a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its skill is replaced by its Mega Effect for the remainder of the battle. Mega Effect varies between Pokémon.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{Incomplete|section|Information for Stat modifiers while Mega Evolved}}

====[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]====
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[File:MDBag Awakening Emera VI Sprite.png]] [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into [[Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)#Berserk|Berserk mode]]. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its [[regular attack]] will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.
{{-}}

====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]====
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and in this game is achieved by eating an Empowerment Seed. Mega-Evolved Pokémon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status: linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups. Compared to the Awakened status, the only additional bonus Mega Evolution grants is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Some bosses will also undergo Mega Evolution:
* During {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will Mega Evolve randomly into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{pokken|Lucario}}, {{pokken|Garchomp}}, {{pokken|Gardevoir}}, {{pokken|Gengar}}, {{pokken|Charizard}}, {{pokken|Blaziken}}, {{pokken|Sceptile}}, {{pokken|Scizor}}, {{pokken|Blastoise}}, {{pokken|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega-Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

===[[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]]===
{{main|Pokémon ex (TCG Pocket)|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}
Mega Evolution Pokémon appear in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''' cards, a variation of {{TCGP|Pokémon ex}}, debuting in the [[Mega Rising (TCG Pocket)|Mega Rising]] expansion. Mega Evolution Pokémon ex cards in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket are designed to be similar to their counterparts in the physical [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], with yellow names and a black-and-yellow {{TCGP Icon|Mega ex}} symbol next to them. When a player's Mega Evolution Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, the opponent earns 3 points, thereby instantly winning the game.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''====
* In ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', the first Mega Evolution in {{pkmn|animated series}}-related media was featured, where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref>

====''Pokémon the Series: XY''====
* In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', the first Mega Evolution in an {{pkmn|animated series}} episode was featured where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Prism Tower]]. It has since been seen helping Ash and {{ashfr}} on numerous occasions.
* In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', a Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appeared as silhouettes while {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the Kalos [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.
** All known Mega Evolutions released at the time, those introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned special episode.

In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', it was shown in a flashback how one of Gurkinn's ancestors discovered a [[Key Stone]], while his Lucario discovered a [[Lucarionite]], leading to the first known Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', Korrina told Ash and his friends about a Trainer she had once met who had used a Mega Ampharos.

Later, a {{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond {{p|Diancie}} had created and given to Bonnie earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.
* In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared as well as a Mega {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}}.

The final Trainer of the row was the Kalos Elite Four member [[Malva]], who used a Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. At the end of the episode, Alain was also seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}}.
* In ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', a Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].
* In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', [[Wulfric]] Mega Evolved his {{p|Abomasnow}} to battle against [[Ash's Greninja]] during their [[Gym]] battle.

With the exception of [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Mega Gardevoir, all other Pokémon were forcibly Mega Evolved through a special device known as Mega Wave, which was being used by [[Alva]] and his minions [[Levi]] and [[Cherie]] to utilize Mega Evolution without the need of a bond. A Mega Wave evolved Mega Heracross and Mega Pinsir were also loaned to Team Rocket.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
*In ''[[PS550|X-actly What They Wanted]]'', when [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*In ''[[PS555|The Aegislash Agenda]]'', when X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
*In ''[[PS559|Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change]]'', [[Diantha]] Mega Evolved her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} in [[Lysandre Café]] to make Lysandre back off from attacking {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.
*In ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]'' and ''[[PS561|Heracross Transforms]]'', the Mega Evolved forms of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos in fantasies when [[Gurkinn]] explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In ''Heracross Transforms'', Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*In ''[[568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', during a flashback of Korrina's succession ceremony, [[Gurkinn's students|three Successors]] demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Alakazam}}, respectively.
*In ''[[PS567|Morphing Manectric]]'', X Mega Evolves his newly caught Manectric into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*In ''[[PS575|Changing Gengar]]'', Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. It was given to X, at which point he nicknamed him Garma. It also had a [[Gengarite]], which allows X to Mega Evolve him into Mega Gengar.
*In ''[[PS585|Pinsir Changes]]'', while confronting Essentia, X's {{p|Pinsir|Rute}} and Y's {{p|Absol|Solsol}} are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve.
*In ''[[PS589|Charizard Transforms]]'', both X's [[Salamè]] and {{adv|Blue}}'s {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.

*In ''[[PS592|Zygarde Agitated]]'', X used the [[Key Stone]]s of Diantha, Blaine, Y, and Korrina, along with his own, to Mega Evolve five of his Pokémon: Kanga and Li'l Kanga, Salamè, Élec, Garma, and Rute. Doing so, however, caused him severe mental stress, forcing him to focus on [[Lysandre|a single target]].
*In ''[[PS595|Magearna Moves]]'', [[Gurkinn's students]] Mega Evolved their {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Banette}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} for Trevor to study.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====

*In [[PS611]], footage of {{p|Rayquaza}} Mega Evolving was seen.
*In [[PS616]], {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega {{p|Gallade}} and Mega {{p|Gardevoir}} respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.

===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===
{{sectionstub}}

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
In [[Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby Crimson Passion and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Indigo Wisdom===
{{sectionstub}}

===Pokémon Journeys===
During a flashback in ''[[JNM10|Toughing It Out!]]'', it was revealed that Ash fought {{an|Korrina}}'s Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in a [[World Coronation Series]] battle.

==In the TCG==
===XY Series===
{{main|Pokémon-EX|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon}}
In the XY Series, Mega Evolution first appears in the {{TCG|XY}} set in the form of '''{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Evolution Pokémon}}''', also known as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. Their names have {{Mega}} as a prefix and {{EX}} as a suffix. They additionally have a distinct stage of "MEGA", which serve as an Evolution of Pokémon-EX cards and are played by putting them on top of their corresponding Basic Pokémon-EX. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}} attached to it.

[[Atsushi Nagashima]], the game director for the TCG, has stated that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Pokémon-EX because it would be impractical to evolve a single Pokémon three times during a game, and implementing Mega Evolution in that manner would constrain deck-building.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-pokemon-cards-are-made/1100-6459450/ How Pokemon Cards Are Made | GameSpot]</ref> The team had considered restricting players to one Mega-Evolved Pokémon per deck, but rejected this idea, as they wanted to enable players to build decks based around Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140101195743/https://www.pokemon-card.com/blog/2013/12/000367.html クリエイター～ゲームディレクター長島敦スペシャル対談～ | pokemon-card.com,] archived January 1st, 2014</ref>

===Sun & Moon Series===
In {{TCG|Unified Minds}} and {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}}, two {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} were printed that feature Mega-Evolved Pokémon as one of the two members of the tag team. These cards have no special mechanics outside of those which are part of the TAG TEAM mechanics.

===Mega Evolution Series===
{{main|Pokémon ex|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}
Mega-Evolved Pokémon return in the English {{TCG|Mega Evolution}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Mega Brave/Mega Symphonia|Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia}} expansions) as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon ex}}. They have a black-and-yellow {{Mega ex}} symbol next to their names. Unlike Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX from the XY series, these Pokémon ex share the same Evolution Stage as their base form — for example, {{TCG ID|Mega Evolution|Mega Gardevoir ex|60}} evolves from Kirlia and is a Stage 2 Pokémon. While they feature stronger attacks and more HP than normal Pokémon ex of their Evolution Stage, they also feature the Mega Evolution Pokémon ex rule, causing them to grant three Prize Cards when they are Knocked Out, rather than the typical two for Pokémon ex.

===List of Pokémon cards featuring Mega Evolution Pokémon===

==Trivia==
* There is at least one Mega-Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from every [[generation]] and of every [[type]].
** Currently, [[Generation III]] has both the most Mega Evolutions and the most Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving (with 22 and 21, respectively), while [[Generation VIII]] has the fewest overall (with {{p|Falinks|one}}).
** {{t|Dragon}} has the most Mega Evolutions (with 17), while {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ice}} are tied for having the fewest (with five each).
** No Mega-Evolved Pokémon has {{t|Flying}} as its primary type.
* Only fully evolved Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Floette}} is the only exception to this, though only in its {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} form, which is incapable of evolving into or from any Pokémon.
* {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Absol}}, {{p|Lucario}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} all have more than one Mega Evolution, accessible through distinct [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Similarly, {{p|Magearna}} and {{p|Tatsugiri}} have different appearances while Mega-Evolved depending on their form (Magearna's regular and Original Color forms and Tatsugiri's {{form|Tatsugiri|Curly, Droopy, and Stretchy}} Forms), but are nonetheless considered to have only one Mega Evolution each.
* All Pokémon that evolve with a [[Dawn Stone]] are capable of Mega Evolution.
* 74 Pokémon retain their original type combination upon Mega Evolving.
** {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, Mewtwo (into Mega Mewtwo X), {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Sceptile}}, Chimecho, {{p|Absol}} (into Mega Absol Z), {{p|Lopunny}}, and {{p|Audino}} all become dual-type upon Mega Evolving.
** {{p|Aggron}} and {{p|Garchomp}} (into Mega Garchomp Z) both become single-type upon Mega Evolving.
** Charizard (into Mega Charizard X), {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Staraptor}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, and {{p|Golisopod}} all change one of their types to a new one upon Mega Evolving.
*** Notably, Staraptor is the only such case in which it changes its primary type, rather than its secondary one.
* Mega Feraligatr, Mega Audino, and Mega Golisopod are the only Mega Evolutions that do not share any [[weakness]]es with their normal forms.
* Some Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution also have access to other forms or battle mechanics:
** Raichu and {{p|Slowbro}} are the only Pokémon to have a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
** Raichu, between its Kantonian and [[Alolan form]], is the only Pokémon to have a Mega Evolution and an exclusive [[Z-Move]]: {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}.
** The fully evolved [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].
* Some Mega-Evolved Pokémon have unique attributes:
** Mega Altaria is the only one with a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
** Mega {{p|Zygarde}} is the only one whose moveset changes upon Mega Evolving, with {{m|Nihil Light}} replacing {{m|Core Enforcer}}.
* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolving.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon to not have a designated Mega Stone, as it doesn't need one to Mega Evolve in the core series games that include Mega Evolution, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolving, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the [[Meteorite]] for it to Mega Evolve.

===Designs===
* Design-wise, multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon seem to incorporate traits from their previous [[evolution]]ary stages:
** Mega {{p|Venusaur}} restores patches of dark teal spots on its face, similar to what {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}} had around its body.
** Continuing the design traits that both {{p|Charmeleon}} and {{p|Charizard}} had, as well as some elements of {{p|Charmander}} before its [[Generation III]] redesign, Mega Charizard Y features numerous spikes and horns along its neck and tail.
** Both of {{p|Raichu}}'s Mega Evolutions have {{p|Pikachu}}-like features:<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Mega Raichu X has red cheeks, bright yellow fur, and a forked zig-zag tail, while Mega Raichu Y has Pikachu's body shape, ears, and tail.
** Mega {{p|Clefable}} has dark pink, oval cheek markings resembling those of {{p|Cleffa}} and {{p|Clefairy}}.
** Mega {{p|Dragonite}} gains features distinctive of {{p|Dragonair}}, such as the wings on its head and the pearl on its tail.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-dragonite Mega Dragonite | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Furthermore, its Shiny is azure-colored, which calls back to {{p|Dratini}} and Dragonair's regular colorations.
** Mega {{p|Feraligatr}}'s dorsal fin resembles a gigantic {{p|Totodile}}'s head, leading to it being referred to as a "Totodile mask".<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-feraligatr Mega Totodile | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>
** Mega {{p|Ampharos}}'s tail and head are covered in white fur,<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos Mega Ampharos | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150427074403/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos archived])</ref> which is the wool it originally had as a {{p|Mareep}} and {{p|Flaaffy}} that has regrown due to the excess energy from Mega Evolution stimulating its genes.
** Like its base form, Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}'s chest plate, back spikes, and eye-like marking resemble {{p|Pupitar}}. The horn atop its head similarly resembles {{p|Larvitar}}'s own, and the red eyes and diamonds reference Larvitar as well.
** Mega {{p|Aggron}}'s head plate is reminiscent of {{p|Lairon}}'s in reverse, while base form Aggron's is reminiscent of {{p|Aron}}'s.
** Mega {{p|Chimecho}} grows a golden frame with fake eyes and arms reminiscent of {{p|Chingling}}.
** Mega {{p|Salamence}} has shorter forelimbs and longer hind limbs than its base form, as well as a smooth lower jaw, all of which bring to mind {{p|Bagon}}. The armor encasing its body and substantial Defense increase bear homage to {{p|Shelgon}}; its green sclera likewise evoke Shelgon's yellow sclera.
** Mega {{p|Metagross}} is said to be the result of one Metagross, one {{p|Metang}}, and two {{p|Beldum}} linking up. Its body plan strongly resembles Metang's as well.
** Mega {{p|Scolipede}}'s lavender-colored armor is reminiscent of {{p|Whirlipede}}; this holds true for the violet armor of its Shiny coloration.
** Mega {{p|Eelektross}}'s arms are covered by mucus in the shape of {{p|Eelektrik}}, named "false Eelektrik".<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-eelektross Mega Eelektross | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>
** Mega {{p|Glimmora}}'s main body resembles {{p|Glimmet}}.
* Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} features a {{wp|Delta (letter)|delta}} motif, matching the designs of [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} (which incorporate the Greek letters {{wp|alpha}} and {{wp|omega}}, respectively). As the letter delta resembles a triangle when capitalized, it may also connect to {{p|Deoxys}}, which is known to assume a triangle-shaped form when inactive.
* No Mega-Evolved Pokémon has [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], even if they Mega Evolve from a Pokémon that has one.
** For Pokémon with significant differences due to gender, the Mega-Evolved form is a combination of the male and female forms: Mega {{p|Pyroar}} combines the male and female forms' respective manes into one, while Mega {{p|Meowstic}} resembles a {{wp|Chimera (genetics)|chimeric}} fusion of the male and female forms.
** While technically different species, Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} resemble one another much more strongly than their base forms. Additionally, Latias grows more than Latios when Mega Evolving, which brings them closer together in height and weight.
* In contrast to the other [[Paradox Pokémon]], {{p|Roaring Moon}} has elements of Mega {{p|Salamence}} in its design instead of its regular form.
** Roaring Moon has been compared specifically to Salamence "when they undergo a certain phenomenon" (i.e. Mega Salamence) in a copy of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], though it is left uncertain if there is any connection between them. Roaring Moon's [[Pokédex entry]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] references the Occulture article and Mega Evolution as well.
** An article on the English Press Website for [[The Pokémon Company International]] on Pokémon Legends: Z-A's March 2025 [[Nintendo Direct]] trailer accidentally labeled one of the files corresponding to Mega Salamence as "Roaring Moon". This was fixed later that day.<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/New-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Details-Revealed-During-Nintendo-Direct The Pokémon Company International Official Press Site: New Pokémon Legends: Z-A Details Revealed During Nintendo Direct] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20250327154906/https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/New-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Details-Revealed-During-Nintendo-Direct archived])</ref>

===Core series===
* The Japanese and Korean logos for {{g|X and Y}} include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* At least one Mega Evolution of every type was introduced in each core series game that introduced new Mega Evolutions, with the exception of the {{t|Electric}} type in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
** If counted on its own, the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}} also did not introduce a Mega Evolution of each type, with no new Mega-Evolved Pokémon being {{t|Normal}} type. However, counting {{p|Staraptor}} (who loses its {{type|Normal}} typing upon Mega Evolving) at least one Pokémon of every type is given a new Mega Evolution.
* As of [[Generation IX]], there are seven {{Abilities}} {{cat|Mega Evolution-exclusive Abilities|exclusive}} to Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
* The most common Abilities among Mega-Evolved Pokémon are {{a|Levitate}} and {{a|Magic Bounce}}, tied with four Pokémon each.
* Due to Mega Evolution being absent from {{g|Sword and Shield}} through {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the status of some Abilities was affected:
** {{a|Aerilate}}, {{a|Parental Bond}}, and {{a|Delta Stream}} became unusable despite existing in the game data.
** {{a|Refrigerate}}, {{a|Mega Launcher}}, and {{a|Pixilate}} became the signature Ability of {{p|Amaura}}'s evolutionary line, {{p|Clauncher}}'s evolutionary line, and {{p|Sylveon}}, respectively.
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into Pokémon X and Y; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their [[Mega Stone]]s are not banned from trades from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to Pokémon X and Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in Pokémon X and Y, but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2015/04/mega-flygon-excluded-from-xyoras-because-of-artists-block Mega Flygon Excluded from XY/ORAS Because of Artist's Block | PokeBeach], translation of Nintendo Dream interview scan</ref>

===Animated series===
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], only 36 out of 93 Mega Evolutions have appeared in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

** Mega {{p|Dragonite}} is the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon to have debuted in the animated series before the official release of the game it first appears.
** Some Mega-Evolved Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] have only debuted in later series:
*** Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Mega {{p|Aggron}}, and Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|SM}}.
*** Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}}, and Mega {{p|Altaria}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|JN}}.
*** Mega {{p|Sableye}}, Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}, Mega {{p|Medicham}}, Mega {{p|Aerodactyl}}, Mega {{p|Glalie}}, and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|HZ}}.
* Four Mega-Evolved Pokémon have only appeared as {{Shiny}} Pokémon in the animated series, outside of appearances in movies or specials, those being Mega {{p|Metagross}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}} Z, Mega Rayquaza, and Mega {{p|Zygarde}}.

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is an [[item]]-induced [[Form|transformation]] introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is present in the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} [[core series]] games, and has reappeared in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and its [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]]. Mega Evolution has also appeared in {{spin-off games}} such as {{g|GO}}, {{g|Masters EX}}, and {{g|UNITE}}, as well as in the [[side series]] title {{g|Champions}}.

Certain Pokémon can undergo Mega Evolution by having their Trainer activate their [[Key Stone]] while the Pokémon holds their corresponding [[Mega Stone]]. There are currently 87 species of Pokémon that are known to be capable of Mega Evolution, and there are currently 93 (or 96, counting specific variations) different known Mega Evolutions.

==Terminology==
The term '''Mega Evolution''' describes both the phenomenon<ref>{{p|Roaring Moon}}'s [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] [[Pokédex]] entry: ''"According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region."''</ref> and the transformed Pokémon. The related verb is '''Mega Evolve'''.

The '''Mega-Evolved''' Pokémon<ref group="lower-alpha">"Mega Evolved" is hyphenated as "Mega-Evolved" when used as an adjective before a noun e.g. "Mega-Evolved Pokémon" or "Mega-Evolved form". [https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/elevate-heroic-hoenn-pokemon-with-mega-evolution Elevate Heroic Hoenn Pokémon with Mega Evolution], [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Shuffle-Launch-Announced-New-Pokemon-Discovered-in-Pokemon-Ome Pokémon Shuffle Launch Announced, New Pokémon Discovered in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire], Press release, [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://www.pokemon.com/uk/strategy/a-guide-to-mega-evolution-in-pokemon-go A Guide to Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref> are identified by the prefix "'''Mega'''" in their name, such as Mega {{p|Altaria}} or Mega {{p|Meganium}}.

Pokémon with two Mega Evolutions use one of two naming conventions:
* Both Mega Evolutions are followed by either the letter X or Y (e.g., Mega {{p|Charizard}} X and Mega Charizard Y).
* If one form is a Z Mega Evolution, only that form will be followed by the letter Z (e.g., Mega {{p|Lucario}} and Mega Lucario Z).

==Overview==
[[File:Ralts Evolution Z-A.png|thumb|right|250px|The Evolution line for {{p|Ralts}} leading up to Mega {{p|Gardevoir}}]]
Described as "[[Evolution]] that transcends Evolution",<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-gb/story/#:~:text=Prepare%20for%20Mega%20Evolution! Prepare for Mega Evolution! | Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref> the process of Mega Evolution drastically increases a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s strength, as evident by the increase in [[base stat]]s upon Mega Evolving,<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Mega-Evolved Pokémon | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ archived])</ref> as well as the fact that it occurs only on Pokémon that are not able to evolve any further. Despite its name, Mega Evolution differs from regular Evolution in the sense that it is only a temporary transformation. To Mega Evolve, a Pokémon requires a strong bond with its {{pkmn|Trainer}},<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution Mega Evolution | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150208104005/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution archived])</ref><ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/new-mega-evolutions New Mega Evolutions | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062733/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/new-mega-evolutions archived])</ref> and two specific items are required for the process: a corresponding [[Mega Stone]] (except for {{p|Rayquaza}}, who only needs to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}), and a [[Key Stone]] for the Trainer.<ref>{{mas|Professor Sycamore}}: ''"Well, theoretically, Mega Evolution should only be possible through the use of two [[Key Stone|special]] [[Mega Stone|stones]] by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who share a strong bond."'' ({{g|Masters EX}})</ref> Mega Evolution imparts a Pokémon with even greater power by unleashing its hidden energy.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/mega-pokemon Mega Evolution | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Only Pokémon who cannot evolve further can undergo Mega Evolution, including Pokémon that should be able to evolve, but cannot.<ref>[[Naveen]]: ''"I have a question—why would Floette be able to Mega Evolve at all? Normally Pokémon can only Mega Evolve when they aren’t capable of evolving any further... Shouldn’t Floette be able to evolve into Florges?"'' [[AZ]]: ''"My Floette cannot evolve... Perhaps because she is such a special Pokémon, having received the lives of so many others... Though that is only my conjecture."''</ref>

Along with the power boost, Mega Evolution triggers a transformation in the Pokémon's appearance and behavior. In the case of {{p|Slowbro}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and {{p|Floette}}, only one component of the Pokémon absorbs the Mega Evolution energy, while the main body remains unchanged. Even though it is usually described as beneficial, some Pokémon, like {{p|Scizor}} or {{p|Houndoom}}, are said to experience discomfort while Mega Evolved. Additionally, it may change the Pokémon's [[Ability]] to a set one (for instance, a regular {{p|Venusaur}} can have the standard Ability {{a|Overgrow}} or the [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|Chlorophyll}}, but a Mega Venusaur always has {{a|Thick Fat}}) and may also alter its [[type]], be it by adding, changing, or removing one (Mega {{p|Ampharos}}, Mega {{p|Gyarados}}, and Mega {{p|Aggron}}, respectively, are examples of such cases). Certain Pokémon even gain a new {{pkmn|category}} upon Mega Evolution; e.g., Darkrai is known as the Pitch-Black Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]] and the Bad Dreams Pokémon as Mega Darkrai.

{{g|Legends: Z-A}} introduces the concept of '''[[Rogue Mega Evolution]]''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|暴走メガシンカ|Bōsō Mega-shinka}}''' ''Rampaging Mega Evolution''), whereby [[wild Pokémon]] undergo Mega Evolution on their own after exposure to high concentrations of [[Mega Power]], which drives them into a berserk, painful state. The [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] further introduces the concept of '''Z Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚと名のつくメガシンカ|Z to Na no Tsuku Mega-shinka}}''' ''Mega Evolution with the name Z''), a type of Mega Evolution in which the Pokémon consumes Mega Power at twice the rate of a regular Mega Evolution, but has zero wind-up time on all its [[Move|moves]].<ref name="MegaLucarioZ">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_lucario_z A New Mega-Evolved Pokémon Is Here | Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension]</ref>

[[File:Lumiose Museum Mega Lucario Statue Replica ZA.png|thumb|200px|A replica of the Mega {{p|Lucario}} statue from the [[Tower of Mastery]]]]
The phenomenon of Mega Evolution originated in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], with {{p|Rayquaza}} being the first-ever Pokémon to Mega Evolve.<ref>[[Draconid people|Draconid descendant]], [[Meteor Falls]]: "''Yes, I am one of the [[Draconid people]]. One of the ancient folk tasked with passing down the knowledge of Mega Evolution—with the great lore of Lord {{p|Rayquaza}}, who was the beginning of all."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Korrina]], [[Hyperspace Sky Pillar]]: ''"I'm gonna get to meet—and battle—the very first Pokémon that ever Mega Evolved..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}} — [[Mega Dimension]])</ref> According to the legend, as told by [[Zinnia]] at [[Sky Pillar]] and reiterated by [[Ansha]], a huge meteoroid struck the planet 1,000 years ago, creating the crater where currently lies [[Sootopolis City]] and causing natural energy to pour out of the cracks. In turn, this caused [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} to reawaken and fight for it over endless, world-defining clashes. The people at the time, the [[Draconid people|Draconids]], could only stand by and wish for Rayquaza to appear and bring salvation, as it had done before. Responding to the Draconids' wishes, Rayquaza descended over the brilliant meteoroid and transformed into a sublime figure before quelling the conflict—in this sense, the meteoroid acted as a [[Key Stone]], amplifying the wishes into the bond necessary to connect the people to Rayquaza, who already had the innate potential to Mega Evolve. [[AZ]] witnessed these events.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"A witness to this series of events, a tall [[AZ|visitor]] from a [[Kalos|distant land]], said, “It is the Δ (Delta), born of the great disturbances in this world. By the bonds born of mankind's wish and the power of the stones, it will calm the troubles that plague the world.”"'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Emma]]: ''"Ah! I just remembered that [[AZ]] mentioned something else. He said during his long journey searching for {{p|Floette}}, he saw a phenomenon in [[Hoenn]] that may have been the beginning of all Mega Evolution!"'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> The meeting between humanity and Rayquaza allowed for the mechanism behind the phenomenon to be understood, which led to the current theory of Mega Evolution.<ref>Scientist, [[Devon Corporation]]: "''Those who saw the way that Rayquaza, possessing this special power, reacted to their [[Key Stone]]s to transform itself, began research into the subject. It came to be recognized as a form of [[Evolution]], a new possibility for Pokémon. And what we stitched together from all of this long research is the current theory of Mega Evolution."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref>
[[File:Super-ancient Pokémon storybook.png|thumb|left|250px|A story book depicting Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} defeating [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}}]]
During the events of {{g|X and Y}}, the prevailing idea was that Mega Evolution was a phenomenon exclusive to the [[Kalos]] region,<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]: ''"And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the [[Kalos]] [[region]]? There's still so much we don't know..."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> where the first-ever Mega Evolution supposedly took place after a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{p|Lucario}} found the first known [[Mega Stone]] and Key Stone.<ref>NPC, [[Tower of Mastery]]: ''"Long, long ago, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} came to this land accompanied by a {{p|Lucario}}. They found two strange stones. This is said to have led to the world's first Mega Evolution."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref><ref>Painting, [[Lumiose Museum]]: ''"The [[Tower of Mastery]] stands to the north of [[Shalour City]]. Two strange stones were once discovered in this area, which are now thought to have been the first known [[Mega Stone]] and Key Stone."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> In the five years leading to {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, however, this notion seems to have been debunked,<ref>[[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Constance]]: ''"The story goes that this [[AZ]] person traveled all the way to some far-off region called [[Hoenn]]. There, he researched the origins of Mega Evolution to satisfy his own curiosity."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> with paintings of the [[Tower of Mastery]] at the [[Lumiose Museum]] now claiming that Lucario was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve in the Kalos region, specifically. Despite this, [[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory on the origin of Mega Stones being a consequence of the use of the [[ultimate weapon]] seems to still be upheld, at least partially, with AZ himself supporting his claims.<ref>[[Emma]]: ''"[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that Mega Stones formed three thousand years ago... when certain stones were irradiated by the light—the energy of the [[Legendary Pokémon]]—that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]. AZ nodded when he heard that. According to him, that's why we've been finding new types of Mega Stones recently. After all, the ultimate weapon was fired again five years ago..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, [[Sina]] implies the phenomenon does not naturally occur in regions far from Kalos, such as [[Alola]].<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"It's so mysterious... to be talking about Mega Evolution here, in a region so far away from Kalos..."'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}}).</ref>

According to Professors {{prof|Cozmo}} and Sycamore, Mega Evolution triggers the release of the entirety of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once,<ref>[[Professor Cozmo]]: ''"We will start off by artificially replicating the massive energy that is triggered at the time of Mega Evolution!"'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Lysandre]]: ''"According to Professor Sycamore's research, Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> implying a strong connection to a Pokémon's own life force. This is further suggested by the fact that [[Infinity Energy]], the power source used as fuel for the ultimate weapon, has been confirmed multiple times to be made of the life energy of Pokémon,<ref>[[Mr. Stone]]: ''"And what energy source could power such a dreadful weapon? Do you know? You see... It ran on the life energy of Pokémon. The energy that could be gained by the sacrifice of so many Pokémon..."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]], B3F: ''"The weapon will be powered by living Pokémon—or rather by the life energy they contain."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> and that the [[Devon Corporation]] researched into Mega Evolution in order to develop Infinity Energy. In addition, Pokémon Legends: Z-A introduces [[Mega Power]], a form of energy emitted by [[Ange]] from within [[Prism Tower]] that, when in excessive amounts, is able to make wild Pokémon enter a frenzied, Mega-Evolved state that heavily strains its body, a process known as [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]. [[Mable]] suggests that {{p|Xerneas}}'s life energy can act similar to Mega Power, enabling the phenomenon of Rogue Mega Evolution.<ref>[[Mable]]: ''"The excessive [[Mega Power]] from the tower caused [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], and if {{p|Xerneas}} shows up, something similar could happen again. I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> Mega Power can be stored in a [[Mega Ring]] and be used by the {{player}} to Mega Evolve a Pokémon or upgrade a [[move]] into a [[Plus Move]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Colress]] questions whether or not [[Z-Power]] can surpass the Mega Ring.<ref>[[Colress]]: ''"[[Z-Power]]... Is it the true potential that I seek? Does it surpass the [[Mega Ring]]?" ({{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}})''</ref> [[Dexio]] and Sina also imply that the two are similar due both being powered up by the Trainer-Pokémon relational bond.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"You know, when you think about it, the [[Z-Power Ring]] helps the feelings of a Trainer reach their Pokémon so it can use its [[Z-Move]], right? It only follows that it should be able to achieve Mega Evolution, too!"'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref>

Mega Evolution is also referenced in the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine and in the [[Paldea]] [[Pokédex]], where it is mentioned that {{p|Roaring Moon}} resembles Mega {{p|Salamence}}.

===In battle===
[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|right|240px|{{p|Blaziken}} Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]
In the [[core series]] games, Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. In {{LGPE}}, the player simply needs to have the required Mega Stone in their bag, since there is no held item feature. Although most media state that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their Trainer is needed, neither [[friendship]] nor [[affection]] is necessary to Mega Evolve in the games.

A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega {{p|Alakazam}} in [[Generation VI]]) has a [[base stat]] total 100 points higher than that of its base form, though in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Starmie}} have a greater increase in [[stat]]s. For all three, this is to make up for the lack of Abilities in the game (they all have Abilities that double their {{stat|Attack}} stats, namely {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}). Mega Zygarde gains only 70 points.

In any {{pkmn|battle}}, each {{pkmn|Trainer}} may only Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal [[move]], but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching out]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|sleep}}, or {{status|infatuation}} will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to attack that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. The moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail to move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, so its power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in {{stat|Speed}} at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is still possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The restriction of only one Mega Evolution per battle does not apply to transformed Pokémon.

====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order the turn the Pokémon undergoes Mega Evolution. A Pokémon with a lower Speed stat than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon whose Speed stat decreases after Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base {{stat|Defense}} stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before. Even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the [[player character]] activating the Mega Evolution with their [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as Prankster before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. {{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it is holding a [[Z-Crystal]].

In {{LGPE}}, as the [[held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

====Generation IX====
[[File:Rogue Mega Evolution.png|thumb|250px|left|A Rogue Mega {{p|Victreebel}}]]
Mega Evolution returned in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} after seven years of absence.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon are shown to now be surrounded by a rainbow-colored aura. It is manually activated while clicking the right thumb stick, but unlike in previous games, only when the "Mega Gauge" is full, which can be done by using moves on opposing Pokémon or by gathering orbs of [[Mega Power]], which are dropped by opposing Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Additionally, Mega Evolution no longer lasts until the end of the battle and is now on a time limit, which can be slightly extended by gathering Mega Power orbs. Mega Stones need to be held by the affiliated Pokémon in order to allow Mega Evolution. Unlike in previous games, the player can Mega Evolve their Pokémon multiple times per battle.

[[Rogue Mega Evolution]] is a phenomenon that causes [[wild Pokémon]] to Mega Evolve on their own, without the need of a Trainer. These Pokémon are apparently in pain, much bigger than normal after Mega Evolving, and surrounded by a pink-colored aura. Calming a Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon will reward the [[Mega Stone]] that is compatible with the defeated Pokémon. [[Team MZ]] is tasked with investigating this strange abnormality by [[Quasartico Inc.]]<ref>"[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-legends-z-a Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Pokémon.com]: ''"[[Quasartico Inc.]], the corporation driving [[Lumiose City]]'s redevelopment, will task you and the rest of [[Team MZ]] with aiding their investigation into these strange occurrences. Work together with your friends from Team MZ to take on and calm a variety of [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon. You can also obtain Mega Stones by pacifying Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon.''"</ref>

In the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC, Z Mega Evolution is introduced for the first time. Z Mega Evolutions take less time to unleash moves compared to other Mega Evolutions, but burn through [[Mega Power]] much faster.<ref name="MegaLucarioZ"/>

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|right|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a [[Pokémon Contest|Contest Spectacular]]]]
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega-Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

When summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is currently not in the player's game.

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon consumes [[Mega Energy]] to undergo Mega Evolution for 8 real life hours.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Masters)}}
Certain [[sync pair]]s can Mega Evolve their Pokémon by performing a [[sync move]] in Pokémon Masters EX since the game's launch.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
[[File:UNITE Mega Pokémon Official Artwork.png|200px|thumb|Four Mega Evolutions in Pokémon UNITE]]
{{p|Mewtwo}} can become [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|Mega Mewtwo X]] or [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mega Mewtwo Y]]. This is facilitated by its {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]], which has a Mega gauge which is filled by using [[basic attack]]s and {{UNITE|move}}s on members of the opposing team. If the gauge is full, and Mewtwo is at least [[Level]] 5, it will Mega Evolve.

Unlike in the [[core series]], Mewtwo can only be Mega Evolved for a set amount of time, delineated by the Mega gauge draining back to empty, after which it returns to being a normal Mewtwo. However, Mewtwo can refill its Mega gauge to Mega Evolve multiple times in the same battle. When Mega Evolved, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y have different basic attacks and increased stats compared to Mewtwo.

Starting from version 1.14.1.2, Mewtwo spends some of the [[Aeos energy]] it is holding when it Mega Evolves. The Mega Evolution will last longer if Mewtwo uses up more Aeos energy.

There are two [[Unite License]]s for Mewtwo. While both of them allow for using Mewtwo in a [[Unite Battle]], each one has separate characteristics. Only the Unite License X one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X, while the Unite License Y one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Starting from version 1.20.1.2, Mewtwo is required to hold its respective Mega Stone, either Mewtwonite X or Mewtwonite Y depending on the Unite License, as a held item.

In a letter from the producer released on July 15, 2025, it was announced that more Mega-Evolved Pokémon were planned to be added to the game to celebrate the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.<ref>[https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/19322/letter-from-the-producer-pokemon-unite-s-4th-anniversary Letter from the Producer—Pokémon UNITE’s 4th Anniversary]</ref> {{UNITE|Mega Lucario}} was the first of these new Mega Evolutions to release, followed by {{UNITE|Mega Charizard X}}. More Mega-Evolved Pokémon would also be released throughout the rest of 2025, including {{UNITE|Mega Gyarados}} and {{UNITE|Mega Charizard Y}}.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1962712084421992841]</ref>

Unlike Mewtwo, these Mega-Evolved Pokémon have separate [[Unite license]]s from their base forms. When using the Unite license, the Pokémon starts off in their base form, however they can only choose one specific set of moves and have a different [[Ability]]. When the Pokémon uses its [[Move (UNITE)#Unite Move|Unite Move]], it will Mega Evolve. When Mega Evolved, various aspects of the Pokémon are changed. The Pokémon's Ability is changed and their basic attacks and/or moves are upgraded in some way. Like Mewtwo, the Mega Evolution only lasts for a limited time and the Pokémon are also required to hold their respective Mega Stones as a held item.

====[[Pokémon Frienda]]====
Introduced during the [[Set 5 (Frienda)|fifth set]], Mega Evolution is one of the main mechanics that can be assigned to a Frienda Pick, similarly to [[Z-Move|Z-Moves]] and the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

At the start of each attacking turn, the player will be prompted with a '''Mega Evolution Chance!''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカチャンス！'''If the player decides to Mega Evolve their Pokémon, they will be presented with a rhythm game-esque "highway" of Mega Evolution marks and will be challenged to touch the Mega Evolution mark at the bottom of the screen as they intersect. Doing so accurately will increase the Pokémon's '''Mega Evolution Power''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカパワー'''). A total of five Mega Evolution marks will move down, and if the player is accurate enough with at least two marks, the Pokémon will Mega Evolve. Additionally, if the player uses the real-world Pokémon MEGA RING accessory, they will skip the requirement of needing at least two successful marks to activate mega evolution, and will be able to exceed the previous maximum power of Mega Evolution for an even stronger boost.

When a Mega Evolved Pokémon attacks, the Attack Roulette will apply a '''Mega Evolution Bonus!''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカボーナス！''') and upgrade the largest value to a double-size rainbow-colored space with a value equal to the Mega Evolution Power attained. The size of the rainbow-colored space will be increased even further with the Pokémon MEGA RING. A Pokémon will remain in its Mega Evolved form for as long as it is able to battle and only one Pokémon may Mega Evolve per session.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Mega Charizard X SSB4.png|thumb|250px|Charizard as Mega Charizard X in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.

Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.

Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[File:Meteorite Shuffle.png|link=]] [[Meteorite]]). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:
* Defeating a Pokémon's Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle, usually at the end of each {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage|main stage area}}.
* Completing certain objectives on [[Mission Card]]s.
* Reaching certain {{OBP|Trainer rank|Shuffle}}s by catching several different species of Pokémon.
* Achieving a high rank in a [[competitive stage]].
* Clearing certain milestone stages in an [[escalation battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge. This is filled by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, or by matching Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost}}({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost+|+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost++|++}}) {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The maximum amount of icons needed to fill the gauge can be permanently decreased by using [[File:Mega Speedup.png|20px|link=]] Mega Speedup {{DL|List of items in Pokémon Shuffle|Enhancements}}, with each Pokémon having a different maximum amount of Mega Speedups they can take.

Once a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its skill is replaced by its Mega Effect for the remainder of the battle. Mega Effect varies between Pokémon.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{Incomplete|section|Information for Stat modifiers while Mega Evolved}}

====[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]====
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[File:MDBag Awakening Emera VI Sprite.png]] [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into [[Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)#Berserk|Berserk mode]]. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its [[regular attack]] will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.
{{-}}

====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]====
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and in this game is achieved by eating an Empowerment Seed. Mega-Evolved Pokémon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status: linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups. Compared to the Awakened status, the only additional bonus Mega Evolution grants is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Some bosses will also undergo Mega Evolution:
* During {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will Mega Evolve randomly into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{pokken|Lucario}}, {{pokken|Garchomp}}, {{pokken|Gardevoir}}, {{pokken|Gengar}}, {{pokken|Charizard}}, {{pokken|Blaziken}}, {{pokken|Sceptile}}, {{pokken|Scizor}}, {{pokken|Blastoise}}, {{pokken|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega-Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

===[[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]]===
{{main|Pokémon ex (TCG Pocket)|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}
Mega Evolution Pokémon appear in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''' cards, a variation of {{TCGP|Pokémon ex}}, debuting in the [[Mega Rising (TCG Pocket)|Mega Rising]] expansion. Mega Evolution Pokémon ex cards in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket are designed to be similar to their counterparts in the physical [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], with yellow names and a black-and-yellow {{TCGP Icon|Mega ex}} symbol next to them. When a player's Mega Evolution Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, the opponent earns 3 points, thereby instantly winning the game.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''====
* In ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', the first Mega Evolution in {{pkmn|animated series}}-related media was featured, where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref>

====''Pokémon the Series: XY''====
* In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', the first Mega Evolution in an {{pkmn|animated series}} episode was featured where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Prism Tower]]. It has since been seen helping Ash and {{ashfr}} on numerous occasions.
* In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', a Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appeared as silhouettes while {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the Kalos [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.
** All known Mega Evolutions released at the time, those introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned special episode.

In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', it was shown in a flashback how one of Gurkinn's ancestors discovered a [[Key Stone]], while his Lucario discovered a [[Lucarionite]], leading to the first known Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', Korrina told Ash and his friends about a Trainer she had once met who had used a Mega Ampharos.

Later, a {{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond {{p|Diancie}} had created and given to Bonnie earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.
* In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared as well as a Mega {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}}.

The final Trainer of the row was the Kalos Elite Four member [[Malva]], who used a Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. At the end of the episode, Alain was also seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}}.
* In ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', a Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].
* In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', [[Wulfric]] Mega Evolved his {{p|Abomasnow}} to battle against [[Ash's Greninja]] during their [[Gym]] battle.

With the exception of [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Mega Gardevoir, all other Pokémon were forcibly Mega Evolved through a special device known as Mega Wave, which was being used by [[Alva]] and his minions [[Levi]] and [[Cherie]] to utilize Mega Evolution without the need of a bond. A Mega Wave evolved Mega Heracross and Mega Pinsir were also loaned to Team Rocket.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
*In ''[[PS550|X-actly What They Wanted]]'', when [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*In ''[[PS555|The Aegislash Agenda]]'', when X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
*In ''[[PS559|Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change]]'', [[Diantha]] Mega Evolved her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} in [[Lysandre Café]] to make Lysandre back off from attacking {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.
*In ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]'' and ''[[PS561|Heracross Transforms]]'', the Mega Evolved forms of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos in fantasies when [[Gurkinn]] explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In ''Heracross Transforms'', Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*In ''[[568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', during a flashback of Korrina's succession ceremony, [[Gurkinn's students|three Successors]] demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Alakazam}}, respectively.
*In ''[[PS567|Morphing Manectric]]'', X Mega Evolves his newly caught Manectric into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*In ''[[PS575|Changing Gengar]]'', Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. It was given to X, at which point he nicknamed him Garma. It also had a [[Gengarite]], which allows X to Mega Evolve him into Mega Gengar.
*In ''[[PS585|Pinsir Changes]]'', while confronting Essentia, X's {{p|Pinsir|Rute}} and Y's {{p|Absol|Solsol}} are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve.
*In ''[[PS589|Charizard Transforms]]'', both X's [[Salamè]] and {{adv|Blue}}'s {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.

*In ''[[PS592|Zygarde Agitated]]'', X used the [[Key Stone]]s of Diantha, Blaine, Y, and Korrina, along with his own, to Mega Evolve five of his Pokémon: Kanga and Li'l Kanga, Salamè, Élec, Garma, and Rute. Doing so, however, caused him severe mental stress, forcing him to focus on [[Lysandre|a single target]].
*In ''[[PS595|Magearna Moves]]'', [[Gurkinn's students]] Mega Evolved their {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Banette}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} for Trevor to study.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====

*In [[PS611]], footage of {{p|Rayquaza}} Mega Evolving was seen.
*In [[PS616]], {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega {{p|Gallade}} and Mega {{p|Gardevoir}} respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.

===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===
{{sectionstub}}

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
In [[Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby Crimson Passion and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Indigo Wisdom===
{{sectionstub}}

===Pokémon Journeys===
During a flashback in ''[[JNM10|Toughing It Out!]]'', it was revealed that Ash fought {{an|Korrina}}'s Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in a [[World Coronation Series]] battle.

==In the TCG==
===XY Series===
{{main|Pokémon-EX|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon}}
In the XY Series, Mega Evolution first appears in the {{TCG|XY}} set in the form of '''{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Evolution Pokémon}}''', also known as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. Their names have {{Mega}} as a prefix and {{EX}} as a suffix. They additionally have a distinct stage of "MEGA", which serve as an Evolution of Pokémon-EX cards and are played by putting them on top of their corresponding Basic Pokémon-EX. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}} attached to it.

[[Atsushi Nagashima]], the game director for the TCG, has stated that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Pokémon-EX because it would be impractical to evolve a single Pokémon three times during a game, and implementing Mega Evolution in that manner would constrain deck-building.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-pokemon-cards-are-made/1100-6459450/ How Pokemon Cards Are Made | GameSpot]</ref> The team had considered restricting players to one Mega-Evolved Pokémon per deck, but rejected this idea, as they wanted to enable players to build decks based around Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140101195743/https://www.pokemon-card.com/blog/2013/12/000367.html クリエイター～ゲームディレクター長島敦スペシャル対談～ | pokemon-card.com,] archived January 1st, 2014</ref>

===Sun & Moon Series===
In {{TCG|Unified Minds}} and {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}}, two {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} were printed that feature Mega-Evolved Pokémon as one of the two members of the tag team. These cards have no special mechanics outside of those which are part of the TAG TEAM mechanics.

===Mega Evolution Series===
{{main|Pokémon ex|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}
Mega-Evolved Pokémon return in the English {{TCG|Mega Evolution}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Mega Brave/Mega Symphonia|Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia}} expansions) as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon ex}}. They have a black-and-yellow {{Mega ex}} symbol next to their names. Unlike Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX from the XY series, these Pokémon ex share the same Evolution Stage as their base form — for example, {{TCG ID|Mega Evolution|Mega Gardevoir ex|60}} evolves from Kirlia and is a Stage 2 Pokémon. While they feature stronger attacks and more HP than normal Pokémon ex of their Evolution Stage, they also feature the Mega Evolution Pokémon ex rule, causing them to grant three Prize Cards when they are Knocked Out, rather than the typical two for Pokémon ex.

===List of Pokémon cards featuring Mega Evolution Pokémon===

==Trivia==
* There is at least one Mega-Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from every [[generation]] and of every [[type]].
** Currently, [[Generation III]] has both the most Mega Evolutions and the most Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving (with 22 and 21, respectively), while [[Generation VIII]] has the fewest overall (with {{p|Falinks|one}}).
** {{t|Dragon}} has the most Mega Evolutions (with 17), while {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ice}} are tied for having the fewest (with five each).
** No Mega-Evolved Pokémon has {{t|Flying}} as its primary type.
* Only fully evolved Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Floette}} is the only exception to this, though only in its {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} form, which is incapable of evolving into or from any Pokémon.
* {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Absol}}, {{p|Lucario}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} all have more than one Mega Evolution, accessible through distinct [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Similarly, {{p|Magearna}} and {{p|Tatsugiri}} have different appearances while Mega-Evolved depending on their form (Magearna's regular and Original Color forms and Tatsugiri's {{form|Tatsugiri|Curly, Droopy, and Stretchy}} Forms), but are nonetheless considered to have only one Mega Evolution each.
* All Pokémon that evolve with a [[Dawn Stone]] are capable of Mega Evolution.
* 74 Pokémon retain their original type combination upon Mega Evolving.
** {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, Mewtwo (into Mega Mewtwo X), {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Sceptile}}, Chimecho, {{p|Absol}} (into Mega Absol Z), {{p|Lopunny}}, and {{p|Audino}} all become dual-type upon Mega Evolving.
** {{p|Aggron}} and {{p|Garchomp}} (into Mega Garchomp Z) both become single-type upon Mega Evolving.
** Charizard (into Mega Charizard X), {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Staraptor}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, and {{p|Golisopod}} all change one of their types to a new one upon Mega Evolving.
*** Notably, Staraptor is the only such case in which it changes its primary type, rather than its secondary one.
* Mega Feraligatr, Mega Audino, and Mega Golisopod are the only Mega Evolutions that do not share any [[weakness]]es with their normal forms.
* Some Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution also have access to other forms or battle mechanics:
** Raichu and {{p|Slowbro}} are the only Pokémon to have a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
** Raichu, between its Kantonian and [[Alolan form]], is the only Pokémon to have a Mega Evolution and an exclusive [[Z-Move]]: {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}.
** The fully evolved [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].
* Some Mega-Evolved Pokémon have unique attributes:
** Mega Altaria is the only one with a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
** Mega {{p|Zygarde}} is the only one whose moveset changes upon Mega Evolving, with {{m|Nihil Light}} replacing {{m|Core Enforcer}}.
* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolving.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon to not have a designated Mega Stone, as it doesn't need one to Mega Evolve in the core series games that include Mega Evolution, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolving, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the [[Meteorite]] for it to Mega Evolve.

===Designs===
* Design-wise, multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon seem to incorporate traits from their previous [[evolution]]ary stages:
** Mega {{p|Venusaur}} restores patches of dark teal spots on its face, similar to what {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}} had around its body.
** Continuing the design traits that both {{p|Charmeleon}} and {{p|Charizard}} had, as well as some elements of {{p|Charmander}} before its [[Generation III]] redesign, Mega Charizard Y features numerous spikes and horns along its neck and tail.
** Both of {{p|Raichu}}'s Mega Evolutions have {{p|Pikachu}}-like features:<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Mega Raichu X has red cheeks, bright yellow fur, and a forked zig-zag tail, while Mega Raichu Y has Pikachu's body shape, ears, and tail.
** Mega {{p|Clefable}} has dark pink, oval cheek markings resembling those of {{p|Cleffa}} and {{p|Clefairy}}.
** Mega {{p|Dragonite}} gains features distinctive of {{p|Dragonair}}, such as the wings on its head and the pearl on its tail.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-dragonite Mega Dragonite | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Furthermore, its Shiny is azure-colored, which calls back to {{p|Dratini}} and Dragonair's regular colorations.
** Mega {{p|Feraligatr}}'s dorsal fin resembles a gigantic {{p|Totodile}}'s head, leading to it being referred to as a "Totodile mask".<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-feraligatr Mega Totodile | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>
** Mega {{p|Ampharos}}'s tail and head are covered in white fur,<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos Mega Ampharos | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150427074403/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos archived])</ref> which is the wool it originally had as a {{p|Mareep}} and {{p|Flaaffy}} that has regrown due to the excess energy from Mega Evolution stimulating its genes.
** Like its base form, Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}'s chest plate, back spikes, and eye-like marking resemble {{p|Pupitar}}. The horn atop its head similarly resembles {{p|Larvitar}}'s own, and the red eyes and diamonds reference Larvitar as well.
** Mega {{p|Aggron}}'s head plate is reminiscent of {{p|Lairon}}'s in reverse, while base form Aggron's is reminiscent of {{p|Aron}}'s.
** Mega {{p|Chimecho}} grows a golden frame with fake eyes and arms reminiscent of {{p|Chingling}}.
** Mega {{p|Salamence}} has shorter forelimbs and longer hind limbs than its base form, as well as a smooth lower jaw, all of which bring to mind {{p|Bagon}}. The armor encasing its body and substantial Defense increase bear homage to {{p|Shelgon}}; its green sclera likewise evoke Shelgon's yellow sclera.
** Mega {{p|Metagross}} is said to be the result of one Metagross, one {{p|Metang}}, and two {{p|Beldum}} linking up. Its body plan strongly resembles Metang's as well.
** Mega {{p|Scolipede}}'s lavender-colored armor is reminiscent of {{p|Whirlipede}}; this holds true for the violet armor of its Shiny coloration.
** Mega {{p|Eelektross}}'s arms are covered by mucus in the shape of {{p|Eelektrik}}, named "false Eelektrik".<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-eelektross Mega Eelektross | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>
** Mega {{p|Glimmora}}'s main body resembles {{p|Glimmet}}.
* Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} features a {{wp|Delta (letter)|delta}} motif, matching the designs of [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} (which incorporate the Greek letters {{wp|alpha}} and {{wp|omega}}, respectively). As the letter delta resembles a triangle when capitalized, it may also connect to {{p|Deoxys}}, which is known to assume a triangle-shaped form when inactive.
* No Mega-Evolved Pokémon has [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], even if they Mega Evolve from a Pokémon that has one.
** For Pokémon with significant differences due to gender, the Mega-Evolved form is a combination of the male and female forms: Mega {{p|Pyroar}} combines the male and female forms' respective manes into one, while Mega {{p|Meowstic}} resembles a {{wp|Chimera (genetics)|chimeric}} fusion of the male and female forms.
** While technically different species, Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} resemble one another much more strongly than their base forms. Additionally, Latias grows more than Latios when Mega Evolving, which brings them closer together in height and weight.
* In contrast to the other [[Paradox Pokémon]], {{p|Roaring Moon}} has elements of Mega {{p|Salamence}} in its design instead of its regular form.
** Roaring Moon has been compared specifically to Salamence "when they undergo a certain phenomenon" (i.e. Mega Salamence) in a copy of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], though it is left uncertain if there is any connection between them. Roaring Moon's [[Pokédex entry]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] references the Occulture article and Mega Evolution as well.
** An article on the English Press Website for [[The Pokémon Company International]] on Pokémon Legends: Z-A's March 2025 [[Nintendo Direct]] trailer accidentally labeled one of the files corresponding to Mega Salamence as "Roaring Moon". This was fixed later that day.<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/New-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Details-Revealed-During-Nintendo-Direct The Pokémon Company International Official Press Site: New Pokémon Legends: Z-A Details Revealed During Nintendo Direct] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20250327154906/https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/New-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Details-Revealed-During-Nintendo-Direct archived])</ref>

===Core series===
* The Japanese and Korean logos for {{g|X and Y}} include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* At least one Mega Evolution of every type was introduced in each core series game that introduced new Mega Evolutions, with the exception of the {{t|Electric}} type in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
** If counted on its own, the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}} also did not introduce a Mega Evolution of each type, with no new Mega-Evolved Pokémon being {{t|Normal}} type. However, counting {{p|Staraptor}} (who loses its {{type|Normal}} typing upon Mega Evolving) at least one Pokémon of every type is given a new Mega Evolution.
* As of [[Generation IX]], there are seven {{Abilities}} {{cat|Mega Evolution-exclusive Abilities|exclusive}} to Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
* The most common Abilities among Mega-Evolved Pokémon are {{a|Levitate}} and {{a|Magic Bounce}}, tied with four Pokémon each.
* Due to Mega Evolution being absent from {{g|Sword and Shield}} through {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the status of some Abilities was affected:
** {{a|Aerilate}}, {{a|Parental Bond}}, and {{a|Delta Stream}} became unusable despite existing in the game data.
** {{a|Refrigerate}}, {{a|Mega Launcher}}, and {{a|Pixilate}} became the signature Ability of {{p|Amaura}}'s evolutionary line, {{p|Clauncher}}'s evolutionary line, and {{p|Sylveon}}, respectively.
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into Pokémon X and Y; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their [[Mega Stone]]s are not banned from trades from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to Pokémon X and Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in Pokémon X and Y, but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2015/04/mega-flygon-excluded-from-xyoras-because-of-artists-block Mega Flygon Excluded from XY/ORAS Because of Artist's Block | PokeBeach], translation of Nintendo Dream interview scan</ref>

===Animated series===
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], only 36 out of 93 Mega Evolutions have appeared in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

** Mega {{p|Dragonite}} is the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon to have debuted in the animated series before the official release of the game it first appears.
** Some Mega-Evolved Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] have only debuted in later series:
*** Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Mega {{p|Aggron}}, and Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|SM}}.
*** Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}}, and Mega {{p|Altaria}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|JN}}.
*** Mega {{p|Sableye}}, Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}, Mega {{p|Medicham}}, Mega {{p|Aerodactyl}}, Mega {{p|Glalie}}, and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|HZ}}.
* Four Mega-Evolved Pokémon have only appeared as {{Shiny}} Pokémon in the animated series, outside of appearances in movies or specials, those being Mega {{p|Metagross}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}} Z, Mega Rayquaza, and Mega {{p|Zygarde}}.

{{AbilityInfobox/desc/Champions|The Pokémon floats off the ground, making it immune to Ground-type moves, as well as the Spikes, Toxic Spikes, and Sticky Web statuses. When the Pokémon knocks out a target with an attack, its highest stat is boosted by 1 stage.}}
|}
'''Eelevate''' is an [[Ability]] introduced during [[Generation IX]], in {{g|Champions}}. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{me|Eelektross}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Eelevate renders the Pokémon with this Ability immune to damaging {{type|Ground}} moves (except {{m|Thousand Arrows}}) and causes its highest stat (other than [[HP]]) to increase by one stage for each Pokémon knocked out by a damage-dealing move from the Pokémon with Eelevate. It also makes it [[grounded|ungrounded]], therefore unaffected by the effects of {{a|Arena Trap}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, {{m|Sticky Web}}, {{m|Rototiller}}, and [[terrain]]. Additionally, {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with Eelevate do not remove Toxic Spikes upon switching in.

These immunities are lost during {{m|Gravity}} or if the Pokémon with Eelevate is holding an [[Iron Ball]], is under the effects of {{m|Ingrain}}, or has been hit by {{m|Smack Down}} or Thousand Arrows.

'''Eelektross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シビルドン''' ''Shibirudon'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eelektrik}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Tynamo}}.

Eelektross can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Eelektross''' using the [[Eelektrossite]]. Mega Eelektross was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Eelektross is an {{wp|eel}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a lamprey, having a prominent red, jawless sucker for a mouth with four equidistant fangs. Its body is mostly dark blue, with only its underside and fins being beige. From its head extends a long, tentacle-like limb with a sail-like fin, which tapers into an oval-shaped point. A similar sail-like fin is also present on the upper portion of its tail, and it has a pair of smaller fins on its underside. Its eyes are red with black pupils, surrounded by yellow markings that resemble a large sclera. Its arms are long and rounded, ending with three claws surrounding a yellow and red target-like pattern on its "palms". Eelektross has a pair of yellow spots on its torso and on each of its arms, which are its electricity-generating organs.

Eelektross lives in the ocean, but crawls ashore in order to hunt. It latches onto prey with its sucker mouth and shocks them with its fangs before returning to the water, dragging its victim with it. Despite lacking proper legs, it is able to walk on land with the fins on its underside.

===Forms===
Eelektross can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Eelektross.
[[File:Mega Eelektross E Pose.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Mega Eelektross turning sideways when attacking]]
As a result of Mega Evolution, the electricity-generating organs on Mega Eelektross's torso and arms have become stronger and secrete electrified mucus which fully coats its rear end and arms, extending their length and changing their color to a milky white. Particularly, the end of Mega Eelektross's arms have changed in shape, now morphologically resembling gelatinous {{p|Eelektrik}}; these have been referred to by scholars as "false Eelektrik" (Japanese: '''偽シビビール''' ''false Shibibeel''), and comprise "Eeleftrik" (Japanese: '''サビビール''' ''Sabibeel'') on the left arm and "Eerightrik" (Japanese: '''ウビビール''' ''Ubibeel'') on the right arm.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-eelektross Mega Eelektross | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> While mostly white, each of the false Eelektrik have a red eye-like spot surrounded by yellow markings in a similar disposition to those in the main body and a thick, circular red lip surrounding a bright yellow mouth. The false Eelektrik's mouthparts constantly open and close, alternating between a plus or minus symbol. Mega Eelektross has a more intricate yellow pattern around its eyes, even more yellow spots dotting its body, and yellow ridges on its fins. Its eyes also have a white semilunar fold and a black contour under them.

Mega Eelektross generates ten times the electricity it did before Mega Evolving and directs most of it to the false Eelektrik, from where it can discharge it to stun even massive Pokémon such as {{p|Wailord}}. The false Eelektrik also grant it better stability while swimming, enabling it to move almost twice as fast than a regular Eelektross. The power of Mega Eelektross's charged-up electricity allows it to levitate continuously above the ground. Once Mega Evolution wears off, the mucus on Mega Eelektross's body melts away, but can still be preserved through freezing. Some people use the preserved mucus for beauty regimens or strength training, although the extent of its benefits remains unknown.<ref name=ZAsite/>

Mega Eelektross is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Eelevate}} as an [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
* Eelektross and its pre-evolved forms were designed by [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
* Eelektross and its pre-evolved forms are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with no [[type]] weaknesses under normal battle conditions, as of current type mechanics.
* Eelektross's White, Black 2, White 2, X and Omega Ruby Pokédex entries mention that Eelektross can use its fangs to shock its prey with electricity. Despite this, Eelektross did not learn {{m|Thunder Fang}} until [[Generation IX]].
* Along with {{p|Oricorio}}, Eelektross and its pre-evolved forms are the only Pokémon included in all three of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}'s [[Pokédex]]es.
** The [[Hyperspace Pokédex]] is the only [[Generation IX]] [[Regional Pokédex]] to not include Eelektross and its pre-evolved forms.
* Eelektross, {{p|Breloom}}, {{p|Camerupt}} and {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Electrode}} are the only Pokémon not compatible with {{g|Sword and Shield}} that are capable of [[Dynamax]]ing, being able to do so in {{g|Masters EX}}.

===Origin===
Eelektross and its pre-evolved forms are based on eels,<ref name="ND205" /> perhaps specifically the {{wp|electric eel}} (which is actually a type of {{wp|knifefish}}, despite its name), with their blue and yellow color scheme resembling the {{wp|ribbon eel}}. They may also be based on {{wp|leech}}es.

Eelektross and its evolutionary relatives also bear a strong resemblance to {{wp|lamprey}}s, known as 八目鰻 ''yatsume unagi'' (literally "eight-eyed eel") in Japanese. Eelektross's four-toothed mouth may be based off of the oral disc of a lamprey, and the spots on its sides may be an allusion to a lamprey's gill slits.

Its {{t|Electric}} typing may be an allusion to {{wp|bioelectrogenesis}}. Additionally, its manner of moving in the air with an open mouth may be inspired by {{wp|windsock}}s, perhaps specifically {{Wp|Koinobori}}, a type of fish-shaped windsock flown to celebrate Children's Day in Japan.

Mega Eelektross and the false Eelektrik it produces out of mucus may take inspiration from the {{wp|hagfish}} (also known as slime eels), close relatives of lampreys known to produce copious amounts of viscous white mucus when agitated for self-defense. The alternating formations of fangs on its Eelektrik decoys, a plus and minus, may represent a state of flowing electrical charges between positive and negative.

====Name origin====
Eelektross may be a combination of ''eel'', ''electric'', and ''boss'' or ''groß'' (German for "large").

Shibirudon may be a combination of 痺れ ''shibire'' (numbness) or 痺鰻 ''shibire-unagi'' (electric eel) and ''don'' (Spanish for "lord") or ''{{wp|wiktionary:-don|-don}}'' (common suffix in taxonomic names of prehistoric animals derived from the Ancient Greek word for "tooth").

'''Pyroar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カエンジシ''' ''Kaenjishi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Litleo}} starting at [[level]] 35.

Pyroar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Pyroar''' using the [[Pyroarite]]. Mega Pyroar was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:Pokécology Pyroar.png|250px|thumb|left|The pride hunting strategy utilized by Pyroar]]
Pyroar is a quadrupedal, leonine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is mostly dark brown with light brown legs, tail tip, chest, and face. It has a rounded muzzle with a dark brown nose, round ears with dark brown interiors, bright blue eyes, and a dark brown stripe behind each eye. The fur around its thighs is longer and each paw has three toes. There is a tuft of longer fur on the tip of its tail. A male Pyroar has a large, predominantly red mane with gold streaks forming a pattern resembling the ''Daimonji'' symbol (大) and the symbol for fire (火). In contrast, a female has a long, gold and red crest-like mane extending from its forehead. Female Pyroar significantly outnumber their male counterparts. The female's mane is as long as its whole body, and the light brown on its front legs extends all the way to its shoulders. The light brown fur on the male's front legs only extends up to its elbows.

Like real-life lions, Pyroar live in prides, which are led by the male with the largest mane. The pride's females protect the {{p|Litleo}} cubs and teach them how to hunt. The females also work together to bring down prey, ensuring the pride never goes hungry. A male Pyroar is usually lazy, but will protect its friends at the risk of its own well-being. In battle, the male Pyroar's mane can heat up to over 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius), which can cause severe burns when approached. Pyroar viciously threatens any challenger with a fiery breath exceeding 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (6,000 degrees Celsius). However, it prefers its meat raw and does not use its breath on its prey. Pyroar is a diurnal species and typically lives in grassy plains and mountainsides.

Prior to [[Generation VII]], Pyroar and its pre-evolved form, Litleo, were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Noble Roar}}.

===Forms===
Pyroar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Pyroar.

As Mega Pyroar, its mane becomes massively enlarged, flaring out in multiple directions from its head. Each tuft of its mane is red with a yellow stripe. The bottom portion of its mane retains the ''Daimonji'' symbol (大), while the top of its mane rests wholly above its head and forms the kanji symbol for fire (火). The topmost tuft of Mega Pyroar's mane extends to the back. Other visual changes include red markings on its cheeks, the fur on its thighs flaring up higher, the fur on its feet receding slightly, and the tip of its tail taking on a more flame-like shape. Unlike regular Pyroar, there is no gender difference between male and female Mega Pyroar.

The energy of Mega Evolution has increased the temperature of Pyroar's fiery breath from 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (6,000 degrees Celsius) to 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit (10,000 degrees Celsius). In battle, it protects its allies by swinging around its enlarged mane at opponents. Mega Pyroar can manipulate its top mane hair for swinging attacks or unleashing flame moves.

Mega Phroar is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Fire Mane}} as an [[Ability]].

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Pyroar and {{p|Litleo}} have several unique distinctions:
** They are the only Pokémon with {{a|Moxie}} with a higher base {{stat|Special Attack}} than {{stat|Attack}} stat.
** No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as them.
** No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]] — [[:Category:Pokémon with a gender ratio of one male to seven females|one male to seven females]] — as them.
* Pyroar and Litleo are the first Pokémon to be classed with the {{type|Normal}} as their secondary type (not counting [[regional form]]s of Pokémon from prior [[generation]]s).
* Pyroar is the only Pokémon with a major female ratio to have [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].
* Pyroar shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Slowking}}. They are both known as the Royal Pokémon.
* Mega Pyroar is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 607.
* Female Pyroar is featured on the utility hole of [[Lumiose City]]'s [[Rouge District]] and represents determination.<ref>[[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Couver]]: ''"Each series of Pokémon utility holes has a theme. The Rouge District's theme is "determination.""'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}} — [[Mega Dimension]])</ref>

===Design variations===
Although the male Pyroar has a chevron-shaped nose in its official artwork and in {{g|Battle Trozei}}, most other merchandise, game, and animated depictions show it with a more triangular-shaped nose, closer to that of the female. As an example, Pyroar's key art and appearance in the {{pkmn|animated series}} can be seen below. For more images, see [[a:Category:Pyroar|Pyroar images on the Bulbagarden Archives]].
<gallery heights=150 widths=200>

</gallery>

===Origin===
Pyroar appears to be based on a lion. The style of its fur, in particular the spiked areas on its limbs and tail, is more than likely a reference to {{wp|Lion (heraldry)|stylized lions in heraldry and coat of arms}}, while the male's mane resembles {{wp|Escutcheon (heraldry)|escutcheon}}s, which would bear heraldic lions. The yellow pattern on the male's mane is similar in shape to the ''Daimonji'', a bonfire lit during the Japanese festival {{wp|Gozan no Okuribi}} in the shape of the symbol 大 (meaning ''great'' or ''large''). The shape also resembles the kanji for fire (火), as written in certain (often calligraphic) styles. Mega Pyroar's mane resembles the kanji 炎 (meaning for ''flame'').

Pyroar's [[:Category:Pokémon with a gender ratio of one male to seven females|gender ratio]] resembles lion prides, which consist of one primary male lion, several females, and one or two lesser males.

====Name origin====
Pyroar may be a combination of ''{{wp|wiktionary:pyro-|pyro-}}'' (prefix pertaining to fire) and ''roar''.

Kaenjishi may be a combination of 火炎 ''kaen'' (flame) and 獅子 ''shishi'' (lion).

User:SpecialStageRoute/Sandbox/Parallel rodents

Jacob9594: /* Trivia */

{{fan speculation}}

'''Parallel rodents''', more commonly nicknamed as '''Pikachu-line parallels''', '''Pika-parallels''', '''Pikachu parallels''' and '''Raichu parallels''', are a fan terminology used for a group of [[evolution]]-capable {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} inspired by the {{p|Pikachu}} evolution line.

This group encompasses several shared themes such as designs based off rodents, being part of the evolution line and being used to utilize cute designs for marketing purposes. Unlike [[electric rodents]], {{t|Electric}}-types are not a requirement but they must meet the criteria of being part of an evolution line.

[[Atsuko Nishida]] was responsible for designing eight of the parallel rodents, namely {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}},<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref><ref name=GameFreak>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website]</ref> {{p|Minccino}}, {{p|Cinccino}},<ref name="Atsuko">''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu,<ref>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon."

=== Marill-line ===
{{p|Marill}} has similar design traits to {{p|Pikachu}}, being a cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Marill and Pikachu are also both in the [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Fairy]] [[Egg Group]], and were both initially the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary line before gaining a pre-Evolution in the next generation which is a [[baby Pokémon]] that evolves via [[friendship Evolution]]. Prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Marill was often referred to as "Pikablu" by fans, and it was erroneously referred to as such on the [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards|Topps trading cards for the first movie]]. However, Marill has never officially been acknowledged as related to the electric rodents.

The Marill-line all receive {{t|Fairy}} as [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|their secondary-type]] during [[Generation VI]], though later in [[Generation VII]], the Pikachu-line received a dual-type {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Psychic}} [[Regional form|regional]] [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched Evolution]] in form of {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}.

=== Minccino-line ===
While being designed as a parallel to {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Minccino}} also shares design traits with {{p|Pikachu}}, being the [[Generation V]]'s take on the cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Both Minccino and Pikachu are in the [[Field (Egg Group)|Field]] [[Egg Group]], are the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary lines (formerly in Pikachu's case), and Minccino has also been used as promotional Pokémon during Generation V's run, being the main Pokémon in {{game|Black and White|s}}'s "world of Pokémon" intro.

Both Minccino and Pikachu evolve via [[Thunder Stone|evolution]] [[Shiny Stone|stones]], with {{p|Cinccino}} and {{p|Raichu}} having the similar base-stat total. Although they are similar, they are mutually-exclusive in regional Pokédex appearances until [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon#Changes|Minccino and Cinccino's inclusion in]] [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|the alternate Alola Pokédex]].

=== Pawmi-line ===
Being the [[electric rodents]] of [[Generation IX]], {{p|Pawmi}}, {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} share the three-stage evolution line, a first since {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}. Although Pawmi is not a [[baby Pokémon]] like Pichu or Azurill, its evolution line parallels that of Pikachu evolution line and Marill evolution line, making Pawmi line both electric rodents and parallel rodents.

==Similar Pokémon==
{{p|Mimikyu}}'s design is directly inspired by Pikachu, and it is sometimes featured in official artwork showcasing the [[electric rodents]]. The Japanese web page for the "[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/2019/12/191213_p02.html HOPPE DAISHŪGO]" merchandise states: "よく見ると、でんきタイプではないポケモンが1匹、こっそり仲間入りしているね" (''"If you look closely, you'll see that one Pokemon that is not an Electric type has secretly joined the group."'') This references Mimikyu's behavior of pretending to be a Pikachu.

However, unlike Pikachu or its parallels, Mimikyu is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon. Instead, Mimikyu [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Mimikyu|changes forms]] from Disguised Form into Busted Form when it is hit by an attack.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Pichu}} and the {{p|Marill}} evolution line are the only Pokémon in the category not designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].
* Raichu is the only parallel rodent to have a [[regional form]] and to be capable of undergoing [[Mega Evolution]].
** As such, Pikachu is the only parallel rodent to have [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|a branched Evolution]].
** Minccino is the only parallel rodent which stayed single-type in its final form, due to Alolan Raichu being dual-typed.
* Pikachu and Alolan Raichu are the only parallel rodents with unique [[Z-Move]]s ({{m|Catastropika}} for Pikachu, {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} for [[Pikachu in a cap]], and {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}} for Alolan Raichu).
** Raichu is the only parallel rodent with a [[Mega Evolution]].
* Alolan Raichu is the only parallel rodent with its [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
* Minccino and Cinccino are the only parallel rodents that are still part of a two-stage evolutionary line.
* Azurill and the Minccino line are the only parallel rodents to have a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]] of [[:Category:Pokémon with a gender ratio of one male to three females|one male to three females]].
* While {{p|Marill}} was the first parallel rodent [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|to be dual-type]] since [[Generation VI]], {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} are the first new parallel rodents to have dual-type upon introduction. {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, introduced after Marill's type change, is also dual-type.
* {{p|Cinccino}} is the only fully-evolved parallel rodent to not have type advantage over another, as {{p|Pawmot}} has type advantage over Cinccino.
** Pawmot and {{p|Azumarill}} have type advantage on each other, while both forms of Raichu have type advantage over Azumarill.
** Azumarill and Alolan Raichu have type advantages over Pawmot, making Pawmot the only fully-evolved parallel rodent with two type weaknesses from others.

===Origin===
The concept of similar rodent-like Pokémon sharing the similar design elements and having the capabilities to evolve resembles the {{wp|parallel evolution}} in {{wp|evolution|evolutionary biology}}, both of which can lead to separate organisms independently developing similar or identical characteristics and body plans.

'''Falinks''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タイレーツ''' ''Tairetsu'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Falinks can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Falinks''' using the [[Falinksite]]. Mega Falinks was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:870Falinks Dream 5.png|220px|thumb|left|Falinks in the Column formation]]
Falinks is a group of small, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. A single Falinks is a formation of six individuals, similar to {{p|Exeggcute}}. It consists of five troopers and a leader, known as "the brass". Falinks usually march in a single file line headed by the brass, giving their formation the appearance of a caterpillar. This formation is known as the Column formation. However, Falinks occasionally break their formation to attack.

The six members rely on teamwork as their strategy to win battles, and constantly change formation when they fight. The five troopers follow their brass loyally, and the brass's orders are considered absolute by them. Falinks are capable of fitting into small holes, as shown in {{rt|8|Galar}}, where they can be seen marching and charging through small caves and crevices. A common formation that the members can change into is one in which the troopers stand in a triangular formation around the brass, either in front of or behind it, which is known as the {{m|No Retreat}} formation. In {{aniseries|JN}}, the members are shown to occasionally stand upon one another to execute certain moves, but this formation does not have a known name. In {{g|UNITE}}, it is shown that the brass can also dispatch troopers to attack on their own, which is known as the Dispatch formation. As seen in ''[[JN073|Grabbing the Brass Ring!]]'', Falinks troopers also have the ability to mimic the [[cry]] of other Pokémon.

An individual Falinks trooper has a black, spherical body with two stout, trunk-like legs. They also have blue, ovular eyes which can either be interpreted as being white or glowing slightly from their dark body. Each trooper has a golden, armored shell resembling a Spartan helmet that covers their dorsal half. This shell is topped with a red horn that continues into a small crest. The lateral sides of the trooper are protected by two horned plates resembling shields. Each of these shields features a red, central horn ringed in white. Each trooper also has a small red horn on their posterior resembling a tail.

The Falinks brass is the largest, strongest, and most intelligent out of the six members. It has a larger crest with an extendable horn it uses to attack and issue orders. The horn is supported by a golden anterior strut absent in the troopers. The brass's golden shell extends to the ventral half of its body. Unlike its troopers, the brass's lateral shields can be opposed. The brass's shields are often chipped or nicked. When Falinks is marching in formation, the brass holds its two shields in front of its face.

Falinks is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|No Retreat}}.

===Forms===
Falinks can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Falinks.

Unlike regular Falinks, the six members that form Mega Falinks become unequal in size. The brass and two of the troopers grow larger, with the brass being the largest. The members that form Mega Falinks arrange themselves in a humanoid formation — this is said to be its ultimate battle formation, and can only be achieved with strong bonds between the troopers and the brass. The brass of Mega Falinks gains four circular markings on the sides of its face, loses its back horn, and stands at the top of the humanoid formation as the "head". Two of the troopers form Mega Falinks's "arms": the right arm trooper grows a long horn like that of the brass, which functions as a spear, while the left arm trooper has a large shield atop its head. The upper formation is directly supported by a single trooper in the middle (bearing a seemingly pained expression because of this). The middle trooper's back horn is larger and further up its body, and it also has extended arms which it uses to hold up its shields for the brass to stand on; the shields themselves lose their horns and become all golden. The middle trooper is, in turn, supported by the bottom two troopers, which act as Mega Falinks's "legs". The bottom troopers are responsible for moving Mega Falinks around as they scuttle on their tiny feet; the formation does not bend or lift its "legs" to walk. All three of the lower troopers have horns that are pointier than before, but do not form a crest behind them.

==Trivia==
* Falinks is the only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon in the {{egg|Mineral}} [[Egg Group]], and the only Fighting-type Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by shape#Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies|to consist of multiple bodies]].
* Despite {{stat|Special Defense}} being its lowest stat, Falinks awards Special Defense {{EV}}s when it is defeated.
* Falinks was designed by [[Yusuke Kozaki]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1341384533459910656 Tweet by コザキユースケ/Yusuke Kozaki (@kymg).] Posted on December 22, 2020.</ref>
* Falinks is currently the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]] that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
** Falinks is also the first Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution to be introduced after the mechanic was initially removed from the core series.
* Mega Falinks has the greatest decrease in height of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, shrinking by 1.4 m.
** It also has the greatest proportional decrease in height of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, becoming approximately 0.53 times as tall.

===Origin===
Falinks may be inspired by groups of soldiers in {{wp|phalanx}} formations, where each unit is lined up close together and cover all sides with their shields, which Falinks's limbs resemble. Their heads resemble {{wp|Corinthian helmet}}s worn by hoplites during the period of {{wp|Ancient Greece}}, adorned with golden plates and red crests. It may also be inspired by the {{wp|Legio IX Hispana}}, also known as the 9th Roman Legion or the Lost Legion, which mysteriously disappeared in Britain around 120 AD. Falinks' presence in the [[Paldea Pokédex]] may be a reference to the Legio IX Hispana itself. Its Paldea Pokédex number being #300 may be a reference to the {{wp|Battle of Thermopylae}}, where {{wp|Leonidas I}} kept 300 {{wp|Spartan}}s in his army to guard their retreat after dismissing the bulk of the Greek army.

It may also take inspiration from {{wp|eusociality}}, a kind of social animal behavior found in certain insects, crustaceans, and mammals characterized by, among other things, the division of labor of the members of the colony, which are sometimes called castes, like soldiers, workers, and the queen. In Falinks's case, the castes are the troopers and the brass.

In addition, Falinks is likely a visual pun on an admiral caterpillar.

Mega Falinks' conjoined humanoid appearance is likely based on depictions of combining {{wp|mecha}}.

====Name origin====
Falinks may be a combination of ''{{wp|phalanx}}'' and ''links''.

Tairetsu may be derived from 隊列 ''tairetsu'' (a rank or formation of troops).

'''Floette''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フラエッテ''' ''Floette'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Flabébé}} starting at [[level]] 19 and evolves into {{p|Florges}} when exposed to a [[Shiny Stone]].

Floette has five [[#Form data|forms]], each named for the color of its flower: '''Red Flower''', '''Yellow Flower''', '''Orange Flower''', '''Blue Flower''', and '''White Flower'''. It also has a unique sixth form named '''Eternal Flower''', which first appeared in {{g|X and Y}} but was not legitimately obtainable until {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. Unlike regular Floette, Eternal Flower is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Floette''' using the [[Floettite]]. Mega Floette was introduced in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Regular Floette cannot Mega Evolve.

An [[AZ's Floette|Eternal Flower Floette]] serves as an important character during the events of {{g|X and Y}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Floette Forms TCG.png|thumb|250px|left|Floette's regular forms as seen in the [[Floette (Flashfire 65)|TCG]]]]
Floette is a small, {{wp|fairy}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its head, upper torso, arms, and mitten-like hands are white, and its lower body is green, ending in a spade-shaped tail. It has beady eyes, each with a leaf-like, green extension sprouting from the top, resembling a long eyelash. Its ears are long, slightly droopy, and heart-shaped at the end, with a yellow ring around each base. Two thin, black lines run across the top of its head. Floette is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

Notably, Floette floats around while holding a flower like a parasol. The flower has a long, light green {{wp|Peduncle (botany)|peduncle}} with a single leaf, three {{wp|stamen}}s with rounded, yellow anthers, and five rounded petals, which can be red, yellow, orange, blue, or white, depending on the color of the flower it held as a {{p|Flabébé}}.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/other_pokemon/#Floette Floette | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160403204716/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/other_pokemon/#Floette archived])</ref> Floette can be often found near flowerbeds, tending for the flowers that begun wilting, restoring the health of withered ones, and celebrating new blossomings. It is said to mercilessly attack and never forgive anyone who messes up a flower bed. Floette cannot use [[move]]s by its own; instead, it first needs to synchronize with the flower it holds through wavelengths of visible light, exchanging powers with the flower in order to draw out the power it hides. Thanks to this, it can draw forth the latent capabilities of {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in addition to becoming able to use Grass-type moves itself. Floette can more effectively synchronize with a flower if its color matches the one produced by the wavelength it uses, with White Flower Floette being said to easily sync with differently-colored flowers. Additionally, the more gorgeous the flower, the more power that it contains for Floette to use.

Prior to [[Generation VII]], Floette and its [[Evolution|evolutionary]] relatives were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Flower Veil}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} as {{Abilities}}.

====Eternal Flower====
[[File:AZ's Floette Resurrected.png|left|250px|thumb|[[AZ]]'s Floette being resurrected]]
A [[AZ's Floette|particular Floette]] has a sixth, unique form called Eternal Flower. Differing from regular Floette, it has a blue lower body and eyelashes and red rings surrounding the bases of its ears.

Eternal Flower Floette holds a completely different flower known as the "Eternal Flower", which is said to no longer bloom anywhere in the world, having gone extinct in ancient times. Despite that, a flower of the same kind can still be found in [[Sootopolis City]] in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], under a great tree [[AZ]] planted 1,000 years ago. It has three black petals with a red and black pattern on the top, three red sepals, a red, leafless stem, and a black, conical pistil, and seems to have been the inspiration for the appearance of the [[ultimate weapon]]. The Eternal Flower is said to harbor terrifying power, though Floette swings it about innocently. Eternal Flower Floette is over 3,000 years old as a result of being resurrected and inadvertently granted eternal life by AZ's machine, which would soon become the ultimate weapon; possibly due to this, it is unable to [[Evolution|evolve]].<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"My Floette cannot [[Evolution|evolve]]... Perhaps because she is such a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, having received the lives of so many others... Though that is only my conjecture."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> It is also intimately related to [[Ange]], a machine built by AZ to use the eternal life he had bestowed on Floette.

Eternal Flower Floette is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Light of Ruin}}.
{{left clear}}

====Mega Floette====
[[File:Mega Floette Rainbow Orb.jpg|259px|thumb|right|Mega Floette forming a rainbow orb around [[Taunie]] to carry her]]
Eternal Flower Floette can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Floette.

As a result of Mega Evolution, the Eternal Flower has doubled in size and its anatomy has become more complex: it no longer has sepals, and the petals are now surrounded by the rims of a larger petal. The inner petals are mostly red, while the outer petals are mostly black, with a thin, black structure connecting these parts and ending in a pointed tip. Near the tips of the outer petals, a blue pattern runs along the rims. It has three jagged stigmata ending in blue tips. The stem has grown much longer and still connects to the central part of the corolla, but it now has three smaller branches supporting the inner petals. Prior to this branching point, the stem becomes more braided in appearance and wraps itself to Mega Floette's lower body.

AZ's Floette is the only one of its kind capable of Mega Evolving, possibly due to being unable to evolve as a result of being revived by his machine. The Eternal Flower has absorbed all of the Mega Evolution energy; as a result, it developed a will separate from that of Mega Floette, becoming capable of attacking on its own. According to AZ, Mega Floette is the only one who can control Ange and, by harnessing its power, assist it in assuming its true form: Ange Floette.<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"Once Floette has [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], she can take on the power of the tower—the power of [[Ange]]. Then the tower can assume the form it was always intended to take: Ange Floette."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> However, it can lose control of the device should there be an excess of [[Mega Power]], resulting in Ange entering a state similar to [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], named {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}, and causing an explosion of such events. Moreover, Mega Floette can transport [[human]]s by enveloping both them and itself within a rainbow orb. It has been referred to as "The Eternal Flower".<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref>

{{main|AZ's Floette}}
* An Eternal Flower Floette is an important character in {{g|X and Y}}. 3,000 years prior, [[AZ]]'s Floette died during a great war in [[Kalos]]. Overcome by grief, he created a [[Ultimate weapon|machine]] that resurrected Floette, inadvertently making both of them immortal in the process. Upon learning that the machine was fueled by the lives of many other Pokémon, she left him. Floette returned to AZ after 3,000 years, once he had finally let go of his sorrow.
** Floette returns in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, helping AZ run [[Hotel Z]] and establish a relationship with [[Team MZ]]. With the threat of [[Ange]] entering a [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved state]], the {{player}} and [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] climb the ranks of the [[Z-A Royale]] in order to be recognized as the strongest [[Mega Evolution]] user, capable of unleashing the true power of Mega Floette. Floette is able to be obtained by the player after the main story.

===Form data===
Floette has five non-interchangeable forms, each with one of five different flower colors: Red Flower, Yellow Flower, Orange Flower, Blue Flower, and White Flower. The flower color is maintained through [[Evolution]] from {{p|Flabébé}} and into {{p|Florges}}, and cannot be changed.

In certain games, certain forms can only be obtained by evolving the correct Flabébé:
* In {{g|X and Y}}, Orange and White Flower Floette can only be obtained by evolving an Orange and White Flower Flabébé, respectively. The other forms appear in the wild, but only as options in specific [[Friend Safari]]s. Additionally, this means that Orange and White Flower Flabébé, Floette, and Florges cannot legally have their [[Hidden Ability]], {{a|Symbiosis}}, in [[Generation VI]].
* In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Yellow Flower Floette can only be obtained by evolving a Yellow Flower Flabébé. The other forms appear in the wild, with Orange and White Flower Floette only appearing as allies during [[SOS Battle]]s. Blue Flower Floette is the only one to not appear as an ally during battle, meaning it is the only one that cannot be caught with its Hidden Ability, Symbiosis, in [[Generation VII]].

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, only Red Flower Floette is available.

;Eternal Flower
Floette has a sixth form called Eternal Flower. Despite being present in the data in the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} games, it was unobtainable until [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. This form does not exist at all in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

Unlike Floette's other forms, Eternal Flower Floette cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]], does not have the [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|Symbiosis}}, and can learn the move {{m|Light of Ruin}} at [[level]] 50. Additionally, all of its [[base stats]] are greater than those of a regular Floette, and it has a different [[cry]] from Floette's other forms. Eternal Flower Floette is the only form of Floette that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]; its Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

{{main|AZ's Floette}}
[[AZ]]'s Floette appeared in ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]''. She was initially seen in a flashback of the great war of Kalos, being sent into battle and eventually dying, leading AZ to create the [[ultimate weapon]] with which to revive her. It worked, but after using the weapon to destroy both sides of the army and bring the war to an end, Floette realized how many lives were taken for hers, and left him. She finally returned to him after AZ's battle with {{ga|Calem}} in [[Lumiose City]].

* In the [[Battle Chateau]], {{tc|Baroness}} Francine's Flabébé uses Floette's cry.
* In [[Pokémon HOME]], Floette's Eternal Flower form only has a [[Pokédex entry]] for [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], lacking entries for the Generation VI and VII games in which it was present but unobtainable (including its unique entries from [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]). This is despite the fact that {{p|Magearna}}'s Original Color form, which was also present but unobtainable in the Generation VII games, does have its entries for those games featured in Pokémon HOME.
* Eternal Flower Floette and Mega Floette both lack distinct {{Shiny}} color palettes in Pokémon HOME, despite both forms having a distinct Shiny color palette in both the core series and {{g|Champions}}. This trait is not shared with other [[List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon|unobtainable Shiny Pokémon]], which do have unique Shiny colors in Pokémon HOME.

===Origin===
Floette appears to be based on {{wp|fairy|fairies}} and {{wp|nymph}}s, such as {{wp|Chloris (nymph)|Chloris}} and {{wp|Antheia}}, and how fairies are sometimes depicted flying by holding on to the stems of plants. Its flower is held like a {{wp|parasol}}.

The flower of Eternal Flower Floette resembles a {{wp|Lilium|lily}} or a {{wp|Trillium}}, especially the {{wp|Trillium erectum|red trillium}}. Because of AZ's Floette's connection to death and resurrection in the story of [[Pokémon X and Y]], it may also be inspired by the {{wp|Lycoris radiata|red spider lily}}, also known as resurrection lily, which, particularly in Japanese culture, symbolizes death. Eternal Flower Floette's blue, red, and white body matches the colors of the {{wp|Flag of France|French tricolor}}. Blue and red are also reminiscent of not only iconography of [[Kalos]] and its three divisions, but also colors reflective of {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, Kalos' Legendary Pokémon that were not only used to power the [[ultimate weapon]], but also represent life and death.

The shape of Mega Floette's flower resembles a {{wp|triquetra}}, a symbol commonly associated with Celtic and Nordic culture. The way the flower is directly connected to its body is reminiscent of an {{wp|Umbilical cord|umbilical cord}}, a possible reference to birth or life, while its Eternal Flower is representative of death. It may also relate to Mega Floette's inability to evolve further.

Eternal Flower Floette's flower and the ultimate weapon may be designed after one another, as the flower resembles the "petals" of the ultimate weapon. This is more apparent as it Mega Evolves. Both the eternal flower and the core of the ultimate weapon (in Pokémon Y) is met with a sharp, cone-shaped center. Floette's use of {{m|Light of Ruin}} may reflect the powerful "laser" released from the ultimate weapon, both being released from the core. In-universe, this may suggest that AZ had designed the weapon based on his own Floette.

====Name origin====
Floette may be a combination of ''flower'' and ''floret'', as well as the French {{wp|diminutive}} suffix ''-ette'', implying femininity.
