Mega Pokémon first debuted in Pokémon X and Y. Since Legends Z-A takes place in the same Kalos region, it was inevitable that Megas would return–and there are even brand new one too!

New Mega Pokémon¶

Mega Drampa¶

During Mission 10, in your promotion match, Vinnie will send out Mega Drampa as his ace. Mega Drampa retains its Normal/Dragon typing and gains a solid Special Attack boost, making its attacks hurt harder.

Afterwards, you can buy Drampa’s mega stone, Drampanite from the Mega Stone exchange inside the Quasartico Inc. building for 360 Mega Shards. Hope you’ve been farming!

Mega Meganium¶

During Mission 10, before you leave to deal with the Rogue Mega Pokémon, AZ will give you the mega stone for the evolved form of your starter Pokémon.

If you picked Chikorita, you’ll receive the Meganiumite, so you can mega evolve Meganium. Mega Meganium (that’s a mouthful) gains the Fairy type and massively boosted Sp. Atk. Its other stats are also improved, except Speed and the usual HP.

Otherwise, after completing the game, you can purchase it from the Stone Emporium for 100,000 money.

Mega Emboar¶

During Mission 10, just before you set out to deal with the Rogue Mega Pokémon, AZ will give you the mega stone for the evolved form of your starter Pokémon.

Otherwise, after completing the game, you can purchase it from the Stone Emporium for 100,000 money.

Mega Feraligatr¶

During Mission 10, to help you deal with the Rogue Mega Pokémon, AZ will give you the mega stone for the evolved form of your starter Pokémon.

Otherwise, after completing the game, you can purchase it from the Stone Emporium for 100,000 money.

Mega Victreebel¶

During Mission 13, you’ll need to pacify a rogue Mega Victreebel. In its new form, Mega Victreebel keeps its Grass/Poison typing and gains boosts to all its stats except Speed. Making it a good all-rounder.

Upon defeating the rogue Mega Victreebel, you’ll automatically receive its mega stone, Victreebelite. To get your own Victreebel, you can use a Leaf Stone on a Weepinbell.
