- Pokémon are only able to Mega Evolve during battles. Once the battle has ended they will revert to their regular evolutions
- Not all Pokémon are able to Mega Evolve, and those that can must meet certain conditions before they can do so. One of those conditions is a Mega Stone (such as a Lucarionite or Blazikenite), which exists for every Pokémon that can Mega Evolve
- When Lucario Mega Evolves its Attack stat increases, and its Ability changes to Adaptability. Using the Lucarionite, Lucario is able to Mega Evolve
- Blaziken Mega Evolves using the Blazikenite item, when the Pokémon evolves its Attack stat will increase
