After obtaining the {{Badge|Rumble}}, Korrina will be waiting at the top of the tower, where she will give the Mega Ring over to the player. She then challenges the player to a battle, which serves as a tutorial for Mega Evolution. For such battle, one of her two {{p|Lucario}}s is used as a loaned Pokémon against the other one. If Korrina is defeated, the player can take it.

If the player does not Mega Evolve Lucario, Korrina will rebattle the player until they do. After the player has Mega Evolved Lucario in battle, the player can choose to take Lucario with them.
 
The player isn't allowed to access the tower's upper floors until they've beaten Korrina at her Gym.

Pokémon world locations

The Tower of Mastery (Japanese: マスタータワー Master Tower) is a landmark in Kalos. It is located in Shalour City.

In the games

The Tower of Mastery has a major role in the understanding of the concept of Mega Evolution. In it, the player learns about the history of Mega Evolution from Korrina's grandfather, Gurkinn. After this, the player fights against Serena/Calem for the Mega Ring so that they can use Mega Evolution, but it is only obtained once Korrina is defeated at the Shalour Gym.

After obtaining the Rumble Badge, Korrina will be waiting at the top of the tower, where she will give the player the Mega Ring. She then challenges the player to a battle, which serves as a tutorial for Mega Evolution. The player is loaned one of Korrina's Lucario to use against Korrina and her other Lucario in a one-on-one battle. If the player does not Mega Evolve Lucario, Korrina will rebattle the player until they do. After the player has Mega Evolved Lucario in battle, the player can choose to take Lucario with them.

The player isn't allowed to access the tower's upper floors until they've beaten Korrina at her Gym.
