Prioritize Mega Stones to Use Strong Mega Evolutions

Pokemon Champions - Mega Stones

Most players will want a strong Mega Evolution Pokemon to build their team around. These Pokemon have increased stats compared to their base forms, with some Mega Evolutions even changing their Abilities.

To Mega Evolve a Pokemon, they will need to hold the correct Mega Stone. Some of these Mega Stones can be bought in the Shop.

Buy Mega Stones Sparingly

You can only use Mega Evolution once per battle. Because of this limitation, teams usually have only one Mega Evolved Pokemon in their roster.

Since Mega Stones have a relatively high VP cost, is best to buy only a few of them. Keep in mind that you may receive Mega Stones from the Battle Pass or clearing Battle Tutorials. You may plan your teams ahead of time before making your purchase.
