Mega Evolution Guide

Mega Evolution is a temporary battle transformation that changes a Pokémon's stats and sometimes its typing and ability. It usually requires a specific Mega Stone.

How Mega Evolution works

When a Pokémon Mega Evolves, it transforms for the battle and reverts afterward. Different Pokémon have different Mega forms with different strengths. You can only have one mega evolved Pokémon at a time.

Mega Charizard X vs Y

Mega Charizard X becomes Fire/Dragon and has an equal physical and special attack. Mega Charizard Y stays Fire/Flying and leans heavily into special offense. See Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y
