Effect

In battle

If held by a Heracross, the Heracronite allows it to Mega Evolve into Mega Heracross 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 Heracronite from Heracross.

Outside of battle

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

Actually converts the tiles directly to the left of all other Mega Heracross into a Mega Heracross. This effect can replace any disruption in the tile above and counts as erasing the content of the tile for damage, but does not affect black-cloud disruptions. Does nothing if the left tile is empty.
