Pokémon X and Y Mega Evolution and Mega Stones
How Mega Evolution works in Pokémon X and Y, where to get the Mega Ring, and where to find every Mega Stone.
Original Pokémon X and Pokémon Y for Nintendo 3DS. Version-specific encounters, Mega Stones and legendary Pokémon are labelled. Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire additions and later Kalos games are outside this guide.
How Mega Evolution works
You receive the Mega Ring at the Tower of Mastery in Shalour City after Korrina’s Gym. A Pokémon that holds its own Mega Stone can Mega Evolve once per battle. Only one Pokémon can Mega Evolve in each battle, and it returns to normal afterwards.

Tips
Many Mega Stones appear only after the Hall of Fame and can be seen glinting on the ground between 8 and 9 PM. Charizardite X and Mewtwonite X are in Pokémon X, and Charizardite Y and Mewtwonite Y are in Pokémon Y.
Check whether a record applies to X, Y or both. These guides cover the original Nintendo 3DS games, not Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
