How to Get Every Mega Stone in Pokémon Champions

6 min read

Pokémon Champions ships with 55 Mega Stones, and unlike the single-path "buy from the Frontier Shop" shortcut most guides imply, the game actually splits them across four acquisition routes. Most are shop-purchasable, eight are free from the tutorial, four cycle through the seasonal Battle Pass, and four can only be unlocked by befriending specific Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and bringing them across via Pokémon HOME. The searchable list below covers every stone, what Pokémon it belongs to, and which path you need to take to claim it.

Path 1 — The Mega Evolution Tutorial (8 free stones)

When you first launch Pokémon Champions and run through the Mega Evolution Battle Tutorial, the game hands you eight stones for free: Abomasite, Aggronite, Beedrillite, Garchompite, Gyaradosite, Heracronite, Manectite, and Steelixite. These are not sold in the Frontier Shop and they are not battle-pass-gated — completing the tutorial is the only way to get them, and every account receives them automatically.

This is the fastest route to a competitively viable Mega: Mega Garchomp, Mega Gyarados, and Mega Heracross are all tutorial rewards, and any of them can anchor a team you build immediately after finishing the intro flow. If you are brand-new to the Team Builder, start from one of the eight tutorial stones and fit the rest of the squad around it.

Path 2 — The Frontier Shop (most stones, 2,000 VP each)

The majority of Mega Stones are sold in the in-game Frontier Shop for 2,000 Victory Points (VP) apiece. VP is the currency you earn from participating in Ranked Battles and other match types, so the effective cost is "play the game for a while." There is no level gate and no limited stock — once you have the VP, you can buy any shop-tier stone on demand.

Notably, this tier includes the other format-defining Megas — Charizardite X and Y, Gardevoirite, Lucarionite, Tyranitarite, Metagrossite, and so on. If the stone you need is not in the tutorial list and not flagged as Battle Pass or Legends Z-A in the searchable list above, assume it costs 2,000 VP in the shop.

Path 3 — The Battle Pass (4 stones per season, some premium-only)

Each Pokémon Champions Battle Pass season runs for a few weeks and awards a rotating set of Mega Stones as you climb Season Points (SP) through Ranked Battles. Season M-1 features Dragoninite, Meganiumite, Emboarite, and Feraligite. Dragoninite and Meganiumite sit on the free track, so every player can earn them by grinding SP. Emboarite and Feraligite are premium-only — you cannot unlock them without purchasing the Premium Battle Pass for that season.

Seasonal tags rotate, so the exact four stones in this tier will change each Battle Pass. Check the searchable list above (filter by Battle Pass) for the current season's set.

Path 4 — Pokémon Legends: Z-A transfers (4 mailbox stones)

The rarest route is tied to Pokémon Legends: Z-A. If you befriended Chesnaught, Delphox, Greninja, or Eternal Flower Floette during your Legends: Z-A playthrough, you can store them in Pokémon HOME and then send them to Pokémon Champions as visitors. When they arrive, a mailbox reward delivers their matching Mega Stone to your Champions account: Chesnaughtite, Delphoxite, Greninjite, and Floettite respectively.

Two things to lock in before you commit:

  • The Pokémon has to be from Legends: Z-A. A Chesnaught you raised in another Pokémon title and then routed through HOME will not trigger the mailbox reward. The transfer check looks at the origin game, not the species.
  • The stone itself never leaves Champions. Mega Stones cannot be moved between games — what happens is the Legends: Z-A visitor acts as the unlock key, and the stone is generated in your Champions mailbox. Once claimed, it is bound to your Champions account.

Both the Nintendo Switch and mobile versions of Champions accept the transfer, so you do not need a specific platform to claim these four stones.

Mega Floette is the one to plan around

Floettite deserves its own note because it has the tightest exclusivity chain of any Mega Stone in the game. Only Eternal Flower Floette can Mega Evolve — the normal Floette forms cannot, and there is no in-Champions path to acquire the Eternal Flower variant. That Pokémon is story-locked to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, which means the full chain looks like this: play Legends: Z-A → complete the story content that lets you befriend Eternal Flower Floette → deposit it in Pokémon HOME → send it to Champions as a visitor → claim Floettite from your mailbox.

Competitively, Mega Floette is a niche pick, so this is not a stone every player needs. But if you do want it, every step above is required in order. There is no fallback path, and the Eternal Flower variant cannot be traded, bred, or swapped in from another save — each account that wants Floettite has to clear the Legends: Z-A story on its own Legends save file.

Which Megas are worth chasing first?

Acquisition cost only matters if the Mega is actually good in the current Pokémon Champions meta. Rough priority:

  • Tutorial stones (free). Mega Garchomp and Mega Gyarados are top-10 threats and cost nothing — build around these first.
  • Shop stones (2,000 VP). Mega Charizard Y, Mega Gardevoir, Mega Lucario, Mega Tyranitar. Standard VP grind, always available, no FOMO.
  • Battle Pass free-track stones. Grab these before the season ends if you think you will field the Pokémon. Fallback to the Frontier Shop if you miss the season.
  • Battle Pass premium-track stones. Evaluate coldly. If the Mega fits a team you already play, buy the Premium Pass for that season. If not, skip — it will cycle through the shop eventually but not on a published schedule.
  • Legends: Z-A transfer stones. Worth the trip only if Chesnaught, Delphox, Greninja, or Eternal Flower Floette slot into your preferred archetypes. Cross-reference the Meta page before you invest hours in another game.

The Pokédex lists every Pokémon Champions-legal Pokémon, including the Mega forms, and individual Pokémon pages show which stone each one needs.

One Mega per team — plan accordingly

A final planning note: Pokémon Champions keeps the classic "one Mega per team" rule, so you only need one active Mega Stone per match. A second top-tier stone buys flexibility across matchups, not raw power inside a single match — useful, but not a must-have the way the first stone is.

If you are drafting a team from scratch, start with a tutorial or shop Mega as your win condition, build the rest around it, and only reach for Battle Pass or Legends: Z-A stones once you know which role is missing. The Team Builder will flag any Mega / Mega Stone mismatch automatically, so there is no risk of spending an hour tuning a spread around a stone your account cannot yet hold.
