Pokémon Legends: Z-A reintroduces the Mega Evolution system with a bang — not only reviving all classic forms from Pokémon X & Y but also adding over 25 brand-new Mega Evolutions. Set in the heart of Lumiose City, this new lineup delivers both nostalgia and fresh power for every kind of trainer.
What Are Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
Mega Evolution is a temporary transformation that boosts a Pokémon’s stats and sometimes changes its typing.
In Legends: Z-A, players can trigger Mega Evolution during battle using Mega Stones — some of which are earned via the Z-A Battle Club Ranked Seasons, while others appear in DLC content like the Mega Dimension Pack.
