Mega Evolution makes its long-awaited return in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, giving players the chance to awaken the full potential of their favorite Pokemon. But before you can Mega Evolve, you'll need the right Mega Stone — and each one comes from a specific source, mission, or exchange. Here's a complete guide on how to get or buy Mega Stones efficiently in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, along with a full location list.

1. Understanding Mega Stones in Pokemon Legends: Z-A

Mega Stones are special evolutionary items that allow compatible Pokemon to undergo Mega Evolution during battle. Each species has its own corresponding stone (e.g., Charizardite X for Mega Charizard X). These stones can be obtained through various methods:

1. Completing main story missions that feature “Rogue Mega” battles.
2. Purchasing them from the Stone Emporium in Lumiose City.
3. Exchanging Mega Shards in Quasartico City.
4. Participating in Ranked Battle Seasons or event missions.
5. Receiving special rewards from AZ or DLC content.

2. Earning Mega Stones Through Story Missions

Throughout the main story, several missions feature encounters with “Rogue Mega Pokemon.” Defeating these powerful opponents rewards you with their respective Mega Stones. For instance:

1. Mission 9: Defeat Rogue Mega Absol → Absolite
2. Mission 12: Defeat Rogue Mega Camerupt → Cameruptite
3. Mission 29: Defeat Rogue Mega Venusaur → Venusaurite
4. Mission 33: Defeat Rogue Mega Tyranitar → Tyranitarite
5. Mission 34: Defeat Rogue Mega Starmie → Starminite

These missions typically unlock progressively as you advance through the main story, making combat performance and level preparation essential.

3. Buying Mega Stones at the Stone Emporium

The Stone Emporium in Lumiose City sells a limited selection of Mega Stones for Poke Dollars. Prices vary based on rarity:

1. Gengarite, Medichamite, Scizorite, Abomasite → $50,000
2. Garchompite, Kangaskhanite, Steelixite → $70,000
3. Charizardite X/Y, Blastoisinite → $100,000

While expensive, this option offers a straightforward way to complete your Mega Stone collection if you've accumulated sufficient funds through exploration or missions.

4. Exchanging Mega Shards in Quasartico City

After unlocking Quasartico City, you can access the Mega Shard Exchange, where Mega Stones can be purchased using Mega Shards — a special currency obtained through high-level raids, side missions, and event challenges.

Common prices include:

1. 180 Mega Shards → Audinite, Manectite, Lopunnite, Sableyeite
2. 240 Mega Shards → Lucarionite, Gyaradosite, Heracronite, Pinsirite
3. 360 Mega Shards → Metagrossite, Salamencite, Aggronite

This is the most flexible system for long-term players, as it allows steady progress toward specific stones without relying on RNG or mission drops.

5. Ranked Battle and Special Rewards

Competitive players can also earn exclusive Mega Stones through Ranked Battle Seasons:

1. Season 1: Greninjite
2. Season 2: Delphoxite
3. Season 3: Chesnaughtite

In addition, completing AZ's storyline in Mission 10 rewards your starter's Mega Stone — Meganiumite, Feraligite, or Emboarite — depending on your chosen Pokemon.

6. DLC and Limited-Time Additions

The Mega Dimension DLC expands the roster further with exclusive stones such as:

1. Raichunite X and Raichunite Y (for Mega Raichu forms)

Future updates may introduce additional Mega Stones tied to event-specific content or seasonal challenges.

If you're planning to complete your Mega Evolution lineup quickly, pairing your DLC collection with rare Shiny partners is a great move. You can Buy Shiny Pokemon Legends ZA from trusted online sellers to instantly add powerful, visually unique Mega candidates to your roster—perfect for both collectors and competitive players.

7. Complete Mega Stone Location List

8. Buying Mega Stones from Online Marketplaces

For players who prefer not to grind missions or shard exchanges, some third-party sellers (such as PoGoBuy or U4GM) offer Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Stones or compatible Pokemon directly. Prices usually range around $3–5 per stone or Pokemon, with options for instant delivery. While not part of official gameplay, these can be useful for collectors or competitive battlers seeking convenience.

Summary

Mega Stones in Pokemon Legends: Z-A can be obtained through missions, shard exchanges, in-game stores, battle rewards, or online marketplaces. The fastest route for completionists is to combine mission drops with regular Mega Shard farming in Quasartico City. Players focused on competitive play should prioritize Ranked Battle seasons for exclusive stones like Greninjite and Delphoxite.
