What are Mega Pokemon?
Mega Pokémon are special forms of certain Pokémon introduced in Pokémon X and Y for the Nintendo 3DS. By using a specific item called a Mega Stone unique to each Pokémon, a Pokémon can temporarily undergo Mega Evolution during battle, transforming into a more powerful form for the duration of that battle.
Mega Evolution boosts a Pokémon’s stats, sometimes changes its ability, and can even alter its type, giving it strategic advantages in combat. Once the battle ends, the Pokémon reverts to its normal form.
You can Mega Evolve your pokemon outside of battles so that you can stroll around on the server with your favourite Mega Pokemon at your side!
List of all current Mega Pokemon
Here you will find a complete list of all Mega Pokemon from the main series, their respective Mega Stones along with their current availability on the server.
How to obtain Mega Pokemon on the server
This is where our system diverges from the traditional Pokémon games, introducing a Minecraft-inspired twist.
Between Y-levels -64 and 16, you’ll have a rare chance to encounter Mega Stone Ore. When mined, this ore will drop a Mega Stone corresponding to the type displayed. Mega Stone Ores generate only in single-block clusters and can be mined with Silk Touch to preserve their ore form. However, Fortune enchantments will not increase the number of Mega Stones obtained from these ores.
The deeper you venture into the caves, the greater your chances of discovering these rare ores so keep a sharp eye while mining, as you won’t want to miss out on these truly valuable finds.
Each Mega Stone Ore has its own distinct appearance, meaning the ore shown in the image above may differ from the one you encounter in your own adventures. Additionally, Mega Stones can be traded, bought, or sold between players, offering even more opportunities to obtain the specific Mega Stone you need—especially when hunting for a particular Mega Pokémon.
How to obtain a Mega Bracelet
Obtaining a Mega Bracelet is a straightforward process. The primary component required is a Mega Stone, which will be used as part of the crafting recipe. Any Mega Stone may be used, provided you are willing to consume it for this purpose.
To begin, you must first acquire a Keystone. This can be done by placing any Mega Stone into a Stonecutter, where it can be processed into a Keystone. The Keystone is an essential component in crafting the Mega Bracelet.
Once you have obtained a Keystone, collect the following items:
1x Keystone
4x Iron Ingot
2x Redstone Dust
1x Cell Battery
After gathering all required materials, use the crafting recipe below to create the Mega Bracelet.
Once crafted, the Mega Bracelet can be held in either your main hand or off-hand. If your Pokemon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone, you may Right Click while holding the bracelet to initiate Mega Evolution.
With these steps completed, you are now ready to begin Mega Evolving your Pokemon in battle.
How do I Mega Evolve Pokemon?
Once you have obtained the appropriate Mega Stone and a Mega Bracelet, you’re ready to begin Mega Evolving your Pokemon and the process is both simple and exciting!
To get started, assign the correct Mega Stone to a compatible Pokémon by Crouching + Right Clicking to have it hold the stone. Then, with your Mega Bracelet in either your main hand or offhand, simply Right Click on the Pokémon to trigger its Mega Evolution animation.
If you wish to Mega Evolve a different Pokémon in your party, just repeat this process by Right Clicking the desired Pokémon with the Mega Bracelet. The previously Mega Evolved Pokémon will automatically revert to its base form.
NOTE - Only one Mega Pokémon can be active at any given time. It is not possible to have multiple Mega Evolved Pokémon in your party simultaneously.
Mega Evolving within a Battle
Mega Evolution during battles functions slightly differently from the standard method. To begin, ensure that your Pokemon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone and that you have your Mega Bracelet equipped.
Once these requirements are met, enter a battle and select Fight. On the battle screen, a new Mega Evolution icon will appear. You may activate this option alongside your chosen move for that turn. When selected, your Pokemon will Mega Evolve and execute the selected move simultaneously.
Your Pokemon will remain in its Mega Evolved form until either the opposing Pokemon is defeated or your Pokemon is knocked out. Following these steps will allow you to effectively utilize Mega Evolution in battle.
