Effect

In battle

If held by a Gyarados (or is present in the player's BagPE), the Gyaradosite allows it to Mega Evolve into Mega Gyarados if its Trainer has a Key Stone. A Trainer can only Mega Evolve one Pokémon per battle (or only have one Mega-Evolved Pokémon at any given momentZA).

As a Mega Stone, it is unaffected by item-negating effects (such as Embargo and Klutz). Item-manipulating effects (such as Trick and Fling) cannot give or remove a Gyaradosite from Gyarados.

Outside of battle

If held by a Gyarados, the Gyaradosite allows it to Mega Evolve into Mega Gyarados when it performs a Spectacular Talent during a Pokémon Contest Spectacular if its Trainer has a Key Stone. Gyarados will remain a Mega Gyarados until the Talent Round ends.

Pokémon the Series: XY

Alain discovered an uncut Gyaradosite in Mega Evolution Special I.

A Gyaradosite physically debuted in Coming Apart at the Dreams!, worn by Lysandre's Shiny Gyarados around its neck in a holder similar to the one Alain's Charizard keeps its Charizardite X in. It is unknown whether this Gyaradosite is the same one Alain had discovered uncut earlier, or a different one.

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

Another Gyaradosite appeared in When Regions Collide!, where it was held by Misty's Gyarados. It didn't appear to be equipped on Gyarados, but rather, it appeared on its head crest right before Mega Evolving.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

A Gyaradosite appeared during Gurkinn's explanation about Mega Evolution in An Adventure of Mega Proportions!.
