One of the biggest and most exciting new features in Pokemon X and Y is the ability to mega evolve some of your favorite Pokemon. It’s great to have new creatures to catch and gym badges to collect, but seeing a Charizard become even bigger and badder than before? That alone is worth the price of admission. However, it’s not always so easy to push your Pokemon to their final forms. It takes the right Mega Stone to see this new type of evolution, and we’ve compiled the locations for all the stones that you’ll need in X and Y (via PokeBase).
There are a few spoilers in the following list, so make sure you’re ready to read about some late-game facts before proceeding.
