# Mega Evolution

## How It Works <a href="#how-it-works" id="how-it-works"></a>

To activate a Mega Evolution during battle, two key steps are required:<br>

1. **Mega Bracelet** – Have this item anywhere in your **inventory**.
2. **Mega Stone** – Give the correct Mega Stone to your Pokémon as a **held item**.

Once both are equipped and you're in battle, a glowing **Mega Symbol** will appear in the bottom corner. Click it, and your Pokémon will **Mega Evolve at the start of the next turn**, transforming into a stronger, more powerful version of itself — complete with boosted stats and sometimes even a new ability or typing! You can also **Mega Evolve** outside of a battle by right clicking the **Mega Bracelet** in your hand and selecting the Pokémon from the Party menu, as long as the key steps above are satisfied.

To get started, you will need to first get your Mega Bracelet. To do this, you simply need to complete the Research Task **Forming A True Bond**.  After completing that, you will be rewarded both the Mega Bracelet and PokeDollars for completing it!

## How to Obtain Mega Stones <a href="#how-to-obtain-mega-stones" id="how-to-obtain-mega-stones"></a>

Mega Stones can’t be crafted. Instead, they must be **earned through effort and skill**:

* Join **special Mega Raids** tied to specific Pokémon.
* Perform well in these raids — the higher your ranking, the better your rewards.
  * For example, finish strong in a **Sceptile Raid**, and you'll earn **Sceptilite**, the Mega Stone needed to evolve Sceptile into **Mega Sceptile**.
* Buy them with in-game **Vote Points** from the `/voteshop`!
