Key Takeaways
- Mega Stones are not found in one place, you unlock them through multiple systems like Battle Pass, shops, and events.
- You must equip a Mega Stone as a held item before entering battle, otherwise Mega Evolution won’t trigger.
- Timing your Mega Evolution matters since only one Pokemon can Mega Evolve per battle.
With Pokemon Champions finally out on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, players are already diving into competitive battles and testing out new mechanics. One of the biggest highlights right now is the return of Mega Evolution.
But here’s the catch. You can’t just Mega Evolve anytime you want. You need the right Mega Stone first. And the game does not exactly hand them all to you upfront.
So if you’re wondering how to get Pokemon Champions Mega Stones, here’s everything you actually need to know.

Mega Stones are spread across multiple systems in the game, so there’s no single grind path. You’ll collect them naturally as you progress, but only if you know where to look.
The first set comes early through Mega Evolution training, which acts as your introduction to the mechanic. After that, you’ll need to expand your collection through different routes.
Here are the main ways to get Mega Stones Pokemon Champions:
- Battle Pass: Some Mega Stones unlock as tier rewards, including ones like Dragonite’s
- Frontier Shop and Premier Shop: You can directly purchase select stones using in-game currency
- Mystery Gifts: Limited-time rewards sometimes include rare Mega Stones
- Pokemon HOME linking: Bringing specific Pokemon from other games can reward their Mega Stones

How to Equip Mega Stones in Pokemon Champions

Getting a Mega Stone is only half the job. You also need to equip it properly, and this is where things feel a bit unintuitive.
To equip a Mega Stone:
- Open the main menu and go to Box
- Select the Pokemon you want
- Choose Give an item to hold
- Navigate to the Mega Stone section
- Select the correct stone for that Pokemon
Once equipped, the Mega Stone takes up the held item slot, so you cannot use other items at the same time.
A quicker method is selecting your Pokemon directly from your battle lineup and assigning the item from there.

During a fight:
- Select Fight
- Press the R button to toggle Mega Evolution
- Confirm your move
Only one Pokemon can Mega Evolve per battle, so timing matters. If you switch that Pokemon out, it will stay in its Mega form for the rest of the match.
