You just won your first Ranked match with a fully evolved team, but your opponent's Mega Gengar swept you in three turns. Now you're staring at over 55 stones wondering: where do you even begin? With the mobile launch of Pokémon Champions on June 17, 2026, a wave of new players is diving into competitive battles for the first time. Alongside the arrival of 11 brand-new Mega Evolutions and a fresh seasonal reset, the task of collecting all the Mega Stones has never felt more daunting. Each stone unlocks a powerful Mega Evolution for your team, and knowing where to look and how to spend your resources can save you hours of grinding.
This guide lays out every current method for acquiring Mega Stones in Pokémon Champions, from completely free rewards to Battle Pass progression and shop purchases. No fluff, just the facts you need to build your ideal Mega roster.
Free Mega Stones: Tutorial, Raichunite Gift, and HOME Transfers
The easiest stones to obtain are the ones that cost nothing but a few minutes of your time.
Mega Evolution Battle Tutorial
Before you can equip any Mega Stone, you must complete the game's Mega Evolution Battle Tutorial. This brief tutorial is accessible from the Train screen in the main menu. As a reward for finishing it, you will receive a set of free Mega Stones. This is the first stone any player should grab, and it effectively unlocks the entire Mega system for your account.
Raichunite X and Y Limited-Time Gift
To celebrate the mobile launch, Pokémon Champions is offering a special login gift. Any player who logs in between June 17 and September 1, 2026, can claim a free Raichu alongside both Raichunite X and Raichunite Y Mega Stones. This is the only time Raichu can Mega Evolve in the game, and it marks the debut of two distinct Mega forms for the same Pokémon. After the event ends, these stones will eventually be added to the in-game shop, but grabbing them now saves you Victory Points later. Full details are available on the official Pokémon announcement.
Pokémon HOME Transfers from Legends: Z-A
If you own Pokémon Legends: Z-A, your save file holds valuable treasures. By transferring specific Pokémon from Legends: Z-A to Pokémon Champions via Pokémon HOME, you can unlock their Mega Stones for free. The confirmed transfers and their rewards are:
- Chesnaught, Chesnaughtite
- Delphox, Delphoxite
- Greninja, Greninjaite
- Eternal Flower Floette, Floettite
These transfers are one-time bonuses per game save, so make sure to move each eligible Pokémon through Pokémon HOME's linked storage. Keep an eye on future updates, as additional transfer bonuses may be added. You can learn more about connectivity on the Pokémon HOME website.
Earning Mega Stones via the Frontier Shop
For most players, the Frontier Shop will be the primary way to round out their collection. This in-game store sells Mega Stones in exchange for Victory Points (VP), the currency earned by battling in both Ranked and casual modes.
Pricing
The majority of Mega Stones cost between 2,000 and 3,000 VP. Rarer stones, often tied to newly released Mega Evolutions, may lean toward the higher end. Prices are consistent across the board, so you can plan your spending accordingly.
Pro Tip: Want to farm VP fast? Casual 3v3 battles yield about 50% more VP per minute than Ranked matches. Grind those first before diving into the competitive ladder, you'll stockpile stones faster.
Shop Rotation
The Frontier Shop's inventory refreshes periodically, with new Mega Stones added each competitive season. If a stone you want is not currently available, it will likely return in a future rotation. This means you should prioritize the stones that directly support your team's strategy rather than hoarding VP indefinitely.
Accelerator Pass
If you're aiming for the top ranks, the paid Accelerator Pass can cut your VP farming time in half, worth the investment if you're serious about competitive play. It accelerates your Victory Point earnings from battles without requiring additional grinding.
Battle Pass Rewards: Free and Paid Tiers
The seasonal Battle Pass offers a structured progression track with specific Mega Stones as rewards. Each season introduces a new pass with a distinct set of stones.
Season M-3 as an Example
The current Battle Pass season (Season M-3) includes Mega Stones for Starmie, Eelektross, and Metagross. These stones are distributed across both the free and paid tiers. Free-tier players can earn some of these stones by progressing through the pass normally, while the paid track unlocks additional stones and exclusive cosmetic items. You can check the full reward list on Serebii's Season M-3 page.
Seasonal Rotation
Each new Battle Pass season introduces different Mega Stones. If you miss a season, the stones from that pass will eventually become available in the Frontier Shop or via special events, but there may be a wait. Evaluate whether the cost of the paid pass is justified by the stones you need for your competitive teams.
Seasonal Updates and Limited-Time Events
Beyond the regular shop and Battle Pass, Mega Stones are also introduced through larger content updates and timed events.
Regulation Set Updates
The mobile v1.1.0 update brought 11 new Mega Evolutions to the game, including Mega Raichu X and Y, Mega Staraptor, Mega Eelektross, Mega Pyroar, Mega Scolipede, Mega Scrafty, Mega Malamar, Mega Barbaracle, Mega Dragalge, and Mega Falinks. Each new Mega Evolution comes with its own Mega Stone, added to the game through the corresponding Regulation Set update. These stones may be made available in the shop, Battle Pass, or special distributions during the update's season.
New Mega Stones typically arrive every 6, 8 weeks with each Regulation Set update. Keep an eye on the official Pokémon Champions news for the next drop, planning ahead can save you from scrambling for VP.
Event Distributions
Occasional special events, such as tournament viewer rewards or collaboration promotions, offer exclusive Mega Stones for a limited time. Staying active in official Pokémon Champions channels on social media and Discord will help you catch these opportunities before they vanish.
Expanding Collection
At launch, the game features approximately 55 Mega Stones. With each seasonal update, that number grows. Including all past seasonal rewards, the total count may reach around 73 stones by the end of the current cycle. New stones will continue to be added via future updates, so there is always something new to pursue.
How to Equip Mega Stones After Acquisition
Once you have a Mega Stone, equipping it is straightforward but different from other held items.
Prerequisites
You must have completed the Mega Evolution Battle Tutorial before you can assign any Mega Stone to a Pokémon. If you skipped it, head back to the Train screen and finish it.
Equipping from the Team Menu
Mega Stones do not live in your main inventory. Instead, open your team menu, select a Pokémon, and choose the Mega Stone as its held item. This is the only way to equip them.
One Mega per Battle
Only one Mega Evolution can be triggered per battle. Choose wisely which Pokémon holds your Mega Stone. Switching stones between battles is free, but each stone is a single item. If you want multiple Pokémon of the same species to use the same Mega Stone, you can freely swap it between them if you have multiple copies of that stone.
Quick Reference Card for Mobile Newcomers
Your fastest path to Mega Stones in the first 10 minutes of play:
- Complete the Mega Evolution Battle Tutorial, earns your first free stones.
- Claim the Raichunite X and Y login gift, available until September 1, 2026.
- Transfer Legends: Z-A Pokémon via Pokémon HOME, unlock four more stones at no cost.
After that, focus your Victory Points on stones that directly support your competitive team, and consider the Battle Pass if it offers a Mega you need. Seasons will keep the hunt alive, but you'll already have a solid foundation.
Building Your Ultimate Mega Roster
Collecting all the Mega Stones in Pokémon Champions is a marathon, not a sprint. Start with the freebies: complete the tutorial, claim your Raichunite X and Y gift before September 1, and transfer your Legends: Z-A Pokémon through HOME. Then, focus your Victory Points and Battle Pass progression on the stones that directly enhance your competitive team. With seasons adding new stones regularly, staying engaged and planning your purchases will ensure you never miss a Mega you need.
Good luck, and may your first Mega Evolution be a game-winning one.
