Every Mega Stone in Pokémon Legends: Z-A — Where to Get Them and Which Missions Unlock Them

Mega Evolution is fully implemented in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, but your team won’t suddenly grow giant horns without the right items. You unlock Mega Evolution after completing Main Mission 9, and from there Mega Stones become available through specific story milestones, shops, or Rogue battles. Below you’ll find a clear, mission-linked list of every Mega Pokémon and exactly where to get its Mega Stone.

All Mega Pokémon and Mega Stone locations in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Getting started

First, finish Main Mission 9. Once you do, the game introduces Mega Evolution with a mandatory encounter against a Mega Absol and opens up the ability to Mega Evolve in your own party. After that point, the Stone Emporium on Vernal Avenue begins selling many Mega Stones for cash, and Quasartico Inc. will later offer Mega Stones in exchange for Mega Shards.

In short: some Mega Stones are sold for direct purchase, others are unlocked after story battles, and a few are given only in special cases (for example, starter-related freebies). Keep an eye on Rogue Mega encounters on the map; they usually indicate a stone you can obtain later.

How Mega Stones unlock

There are three common unlock paths. First, Stone Emporium items: these require money and become available after certain missions. Second, Quasartico Inc.: this shop trades Mega Shards for Mega Stones, and different stones cost different amounts of shards. Third, Rogue battles: if a Rogue Mega Pokémon appears in the story, beating that mission typically makes its Mega Stone obtainable.

Also, if a major NPC uses a particular Mega form during their story arc, that stone often appears for purchase from Quasartico Inc. afterwards. Finally, a few Mega Stones are tied to online ranked seasons or post-game activities, so they can be time- or event-gated.
