Welcome to the “How To…” series for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, to help players identify some of the harder-to-find aspects of the games. Now, without further ado, let’s jump right into today’s topic, which will cover Mega Stones. These Mega Stones will only be the Mega Stones that are present in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and I will only be covering half of them. The remaining half will be covered in Saturday’s article.
First up, we have the Diancite. In order to recieve this, you will need to head to a Pokemon Center after transferring Diancie over from Pokemon X or Pokemon Y. This can be done at any point in the game, but keep in mind that you will need to recieve the Heat Badge from Flannery before it obeys you.
Next, the Audinite. In order to recieve the Mega Stone of the only Generation V Mega Evolution to date, you will need to complete the main story as well as the Delta Episode, and you will find a certain Detective at the Battle Frontier who will give it to you…
Next we have the Galladite, which you might remember from your last battle with Wally at Victory Road. In order to recieve this, you will need to head to Fallarbor Town after the Delta Episode to recieve it from Professor Cosmo.
To get the Lopunnite, you will need to head to Mauville Hills and stop a conflict arising between two men. One of those men will reward you with this Mega Stone after helping him. This can only be done after you have caught Kyogre or Groudon in the Cave of Origin, but can be done before you defeat Wallace’s Gym.
Now, it gets a little bit more complicated. For the Latiosite and the Latiasite, you will recieve the Latiosite in Alpha Sapphire from your mother after the Delta Episode has been completed, and you will get the Latiasite on Southern Island after being escorted by Steven on Route 118. The exact opposite will occur in Omega Ruby. Hmm… isn’t it interesting how you will catch the Pokemon whose color is opposite to that of its version. Sound familiar? Anyways, although you are able to recieve both Mega Stones in either game, you will need the Eon Ticket to obtain the Eon Pokemon that is opposite to your version. For more information how to do that, check out an article that our fellow moving posted a while back- http://pokejungle.net/2014/11/29/get-eon-ticket-pokemon-omega-ruby-alpha-sapphire/
To recieve the Metagrossite, you can do one of two things. You can participate in the Beldum Event which runs until January 14th, 2015, where you can recieve a Shiny Beldum as well as a Metagrossite. If you happen to miss out on this event or want to grab an extra one, you can get one from Steven after rematching the Elite Four once.
And finally, you can recieve the Salamancite from Zinnia’s grandmother after you have completed the Delta Episode.
Well, that’s all for this week! Let me know in the comments if this is a series that you guys feel would be useful and you’d like for me to continue. Tune back in this Saturday for the second half of the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Mega Stone locations!










I can’t start my terrakian hunt until tomorrow
Anyone up for a battle?
I would be, but I dont have a team yet since tropius took me 3,000 years to breed.
I should use the Eon Ticket and SR for shiny Latias. :p
When I have time and/or not being lazy/busy.
That’s what I am doing! I need to get my shiny charm first xD
Hey does anyone have a adamant or jolly bagon?
Hey ithsme. I was going thru my replies here and didn’t realize you were a fan of FE! That’s awesome!
I’ve only played Awakening and Shadow Dragon, but from what I’ve played I really like the series! I’ll pick up the VC one in the future.
Awesome! It is one of my favorites xD and probably the best. Coming from an FE fan Awakening for me wasn’t amazing tbh it was overrated but still pretty good. So if you really liked them then you should definitely try the VC one. Also if you were a 3ds ambassador back when it came out you should’ve gotten shadow dragon
I wish I was. xD I just picked the DS port up in stores.
Fail. Not shadow dragon. Sacred stones another GBA one also amazing!!
Also I never counted how many chapters in FE radiant dawn but I think FE GBA now on VC is the longest with 32 chapters and side quests (chapters with x in this name) and plus if you beat the game you can play on hectors route and therefore have access to more than 32 chapters
Is there an easy way to get shinies in this game like the friend safari??
Supposedly you can chain the DexNav for shinies, since people reported finding them that way. Chain fishing is also an option.
Ugh chain fishing. I am inpatient and not many fishing Pokemon. But lol I love dexnav
Under the bridge in a certain route (I forgot which), Feebas have a 100% chance of encounter. Chain the Feebas if you like.
That I do know about xD pretty interesting considering I got a feebass in the originals and knowing the original method xD
Also think it’s route 114 a little past the weather institute
No, and that’s the way it should be
I got my first ORAS shiny today. It was a Whismur from EV training… :/
What’s wrong with chat? I can’t get there it won’t load
it’s ignoring you, you’ve hurt and betrayed her
Why? And how?
It’s been down
Well my uncle officially passed away
i am happy for hearing this , i told u be strong and everything will be ok .
You worded that wrong
yeah that’s one of my biggest mistake in my life . (be strong Earthen as u r ) .
Stay strong, I’ll be praying for you
sorry dude i think u mean he got a recover ……i am really sorry . but i am still gonna told u be strong .
So, did you guys enjoy my first article in FOREVER? 😀
Thank you dicie 🙂 I imagine it was a long process finding the mega stones your self than writing your journey
Of course. I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
And it was quite the long process indeed.
*whsispers* he probably used Gamefaqs
*sips tea* my tea boiling
…Please don’t make false accusations.
then Ign, serebii, gamewinners?
I went through the game, found every Mega Stone, wrote their location down and then compiled an article.
bull crap
How can you justify it is bullcrap?
YOU DIDN’T USE GAMEFAQS?
Article downvoted :~(

i feel sorry for ur uncle and for my stupid comment .
OH MY GOD
ARE THEY DOING GOTTA DANCE AGAIN
YES
YESSSSSSSSSS
Hmm. That’s weird.
So the only thing Looker is good for is giving the Audinite?
No side mission?
Nothing?
It made me so anxious that he didn’t know where he was or who he is.
I mean, he didn’t even act like Looker. He lost everything.
I really want him back D:
Yeah, it was all a little strange.
It’s shocking that he has no significance other than the stone.
NPCs mention the Pokemon World Tournament too much.
Hopefully we’re skipping right to Unova remakes. ^_^
DAMN IT THEY KILLED THE BOSS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who?
Poundfist
THOSE SELFISH JERKS COULDN’T WAIT
There are so many reasons why they should make a Delta Emerald.
Firstly, it’ll be the first time that Gamefreak has made a remake… of a remake.
Think about it. They broke tradition with BW2, so why not with ORAS?
Secondly, there is just too much foreshadowing. NPCs mention the Pokemon World Tournament. NPCs mention that the Battle Resort HAS PLANS TO BECOME a Battle Frontier. Wallace says that Steven left as Champion, but he isn’t battlable. NPCs also mention Juan and Palmer. What game were both of those characters featured in. Emerald. Not to mention, part of the Volcanion event follows a character named Brandon who talks about his experience with a Volcanion encounter. Could that be the Brandon present in the Battle Frontier? I think so.
I really wanna see the Delta Episode grow into, potentially its own game. And Delta Emerald could do that very well.
It’s pretty obvious that they will heuhue
Probably, because I don’t think Gamefreak is sold on DLC.
Even though they’re doing it for Smash, Gamefreak doesn’t work on Smash… to my knowledge.
nope, they just give their properties to the Smash team.
Dude the Delta Episode was Delta Emerald
there is nothing else they can go by now
They ended it with Steven telling Wallace he could be champion, there’s no way there’s not going to be a delta emerald.
That’s exactly my point.
There is too much foreshadowing to go into Kalos remakes, or Generation VII.
its just a reference to Emerald,
And the only difference to RS to E is just Rayquaza breaking up the fight and maybe a few changes to the map but really nothing more
Personally I’d rather just have Z so we can end Gen 6
Or we could have “Delta Z.”
That way we’re all happy.
A game where you can visit both Kalos and Hoenn.
There are lots of references to Hoenn in Kalos.
And lots of references to Kalos in Hoenn.
Exactly my argument.
…AGAIN
WE SAID ALMOST THE SAME THING
WE ARE RELATED
if we we’re related….
I’d wrestle too rough with you
…Why do you dislike me so much?
cause you don’t like me
Copy and pasting Hoenn wouldn’t take that long, I guess. I can see Gamefreak doing this.
it just seems so very unlikely
it’ll take some fancy writing to figure out how this story will play out
because canon-wise we’ve averted the world from danger…twice
and if Gamefreak is going by canon then something else will affect a new trainer starting his journey and getting involved in all this shit
Well, as OmegaEmpoleon said, it’s easy to copy and paste.
Just like they did with the Battle Maison, which is a lame excuse for not having the Battle Frontier.
It’d be easy to combine the two regions.
Copy and paste, add some new locations, add fancy language, and make millions. Voila.
but where’s the sustenance?
We get more hoenn
you got plenty of hoenn
you just want more megas and your precious Battle Frontier
Ayy the more the merrier
They’ve made plently of references of either region in their respective games.
The Delta Episode furthered those connections.
but we freaking saved the freaking world twice
the only way they could do that is they did a bw2 and set it in the future prior to ORAS and have Aqua and Magma do the same f*cking thing AGAIN
it just seems like lazy writing
It would be a sequel you inbrEEDB$#J vD
Just be happy you got a delta episode
I’m not saying remake Emerald….I’m on your side too.
I meant, connecting both regions.
Zinnia might appear and say that Zygarde should prevent chaos from both Xerneas and Yveltal in a future thing.
Plus it’s Pokemon. The 3rd game usually deviates a bit so the other main legendaries can appear.
Ehh, I mean, don’t get me wrong, it would be sweet, but it’s very unlikely.
I think they mentioned those things to tie Emerald in and show how the events in Emerald would have worked out.
Plus, if they wish to do that, how would they explain when Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon are no longer with their current owners? I mean, if they did as you said and followed through the Delta Episode. Plus you end up capturing Rayquaza too….
I dunno, I just don’t see it. They foreshadowed those things to connect Emerald into ORAS. Pokemon World Tournament is just a mention of a Unova-similar concept, or that the next gen might bring it back, or the next Kalos game. It might become a Battle Frontier in the Kalos 3rd game.
Plus, yes it would break tradition, but really, why remake another Hoenn game? It would be an obvious money-grab, and I don’t like to think GF would do that.
Leave the Delta Episode the way it is. It was amazingly beautiful on its own. Let’s not encourage GF to ruin what the DE brought into ORAS.
I want Zinnia to reappear as much as the next person, but after her journey to discover herself in a future title. Maybe the Kalos 3rd game, since they OBVIOUSLY tried to connect Kalos and Hoenn together and the DE mentions AZ a lot. Even Zinnia and Aster combine their initals to make AZ.
I think the Kalos 3rd game will expand on that, maybe have Zinnia appear.
I hope Zinnia becomes a recurring character like Looker.
Teaching us about Pokemon lore.
That’ll definitely deepen the games.
She was an amazingly deep character. One I would definitely devote a culture/theory episode on. Her name origin just connects Kalos with Hoenn and explains her actions and her story.
HER NAME IS THE NAME OF A FLOWER
ZinniA
AZ
AZ’s FLOETTE HAS A FLOWER
http://th02.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2014/037/b/d/a_z__s_floette_by_alounea-d75djpb.png
THIS EXACT FLOWER IS FOUND IN SOOTOPOLIS
HAPPENING
http://scontent-a.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xaf1/t51.2885-15/10843855_575893379221808_1070152243_a.jpg
Yes, her name is the name of a flower.
It’s not that though.
Aster is the name of a flower too.
Zinnia and Aster combine to make AZ.
I’ll expand more on this on that article.
And yas, they mentioned the tree that AZ planted had the same flower as the Floette.
I like the piano version of her theme
I love the sorrow theme the most. :3
I also love the piano cover of the rival encounter theme
I don’t like Basti. ;-;
Why’d he ban you?
If it’s an stupid reason, I’ll just unban you. Lol.
Simple as that.
Check FB
Okay. I’m on it. 🙂
Hello On It.
wait who banned who?
Defensive banned Chico because of a reason I don’t quite understand. Apparently he was in a bad mood.
That’s insufficient reasoning to ban someone.
So, I will unban Chico.
I think you have that all backwards
How?
can’t we just enjoy Chico not being here for a little while
LMAOOOOOOOO. I love you too big fella.
You don’t get to make up the rules.
If he wasn’t mean to be banned, he will be unbanned once I get the ok from PJ.
fiiiine >:(
I think you should at least talk to Basti first before you override his decision to avoid conflict by doing something without his acknowledgement.
I’m talking to PJ right now.
Ultimately, he has more rights than anyone.
So what he says goes.
Or PJ, that’s fine too.
The point was you talk to somebody.
Yeah. Kinda figured it’d cause trouble if I did it on my own.
Besides, I can’t even work the unban thing. xD
Basto got mad at me for being too sarcastic, lmao.
WOAH, don’t do that man. Capitalizing the word “still” was this close to making me believe you were Chico.
*squint* Darn, I thought you were Chico. Fooled me.
I’m just so excited to write this culture/theory article on ZInnia.
Like, I’m just piecing together my evidence and how it all relates to Kalos and Hoenn and other characters and just yas.
I’m so excited.
Zinnia was a well written character, though many people disliked her because of her rash/eratic actions. I can’t wait to read your article.
…
Hello Just So Excited To Writ- blah blah
The only people who dislike her are people who thought that she was taking the attention away from their waifu :,,,(((((((((( >>:(((
Which one? ;~;
15
15 was a great character though.
N-no, my waifu is better 15 is a shit!!!!! >:,(((
B-baka!
??
Did you not catch the character development of 15?
I mean, her sarcasm was waaaay off the roof. Like this comment. And the others.
I heard she died
Along with Wally.
OTP.
She was! She’s easily one of my favorite Pokemon characters now, and I don’t even have a list cause most are just too good xD
Pssshh, it made her more likable…plus I’m kinda like her xD She was acting like that, I believe, to make herself happy despite the pain she felt. At least, that’s what I was, heck what I am now.
And thanks! :3
You better write about her implied daughter and what the Whismur meant to her. (And how in the end she left Whismur with the old lady, akin to leaving behind her past and memories of her daughter.)
Totally! Although, I believe it’s a sister or best friend, I’ll explore all arguments on who Aster is to better understand Zinnia.
And that little detail totally helped me, thanks! 😀
I think it’s daughter, because how Zinnia often refers to the Whismur as “my daughter”. Even the Whismur’s sound text say sometimes “…Mum?”
I want her to appear in the anime
I want an anime about her.
Me too
That’s one thing. But when she was saying that she was watching the stars when she was a little girl she says ‘Together with Aster’, making it sound like she was a friend or sister. Plus people say she might have been the same age as your character, explaining why she likes you and treats you like a sibling.
I can also counter that, saying that sometimes, your Pokemon are your babies.
But we do know it’s a loved one and someone very close. We just can’t pin down how Aster related to Zinnia.
Delta Emerald will explain everything ;~;
Maybe we’ll get memories like BW2 and we can see Zinnia’s childhood with Aster?
Or Kalos 3rd game can explain, since Kalos and Hoenn are very obviously connected.
Maybe she’ll appear and explain more of what happened and what she discovered on her journey of self-discovering. And say how a Trainer from Hoenn helped her moved on.
Then she talks about meeting a certain green haired man who strongly believed in truth/ideal and journeyed with him for a while until a certain trainer found that green haired man and left her.
OMG YAS
And in that game, she meets AZ, who has a similar loss/story, and they help each other, especially on her journey as well.
Maybe we’ll get a prequel of both games and we can play as Aster and our rival being Zinnia
jk that won’t happen but I’d love that
You made a valid point.
aoksngiejg
*goes back and reads the texts*
Some background on May’s japanese name
“From 春花 haruka, spring flower. It might also be taken as 遥か haruka, far away, in relation to her possible father,Senri (千里)”
Haru means spring.
yaaaay~
Weeb
DELTA EMERALD FOR SPRING 2015 CONFIRMED

One of the legendary bird Pokémon. It is said that its appearance indicates the coming of spring.
Really? That’s cool.

Reallly??!!
I thought it meant “the past”?
I take it Moving never unbanned Chico?
Oh boy.
Good he better not
PJ’s working on it. xD
Shut up. I hate you.
So I just couldn´t figure out why Drifloom didnt appear in my platinum game..
Well its because the event starts 1 WEEK later… That means in order for me to have the pokemon I want to play the game, I have to stop playing completely for 1 WEEK.
Frustrating. And another reason why I hate Diamond/Pearl/Platinum
I didn’t have any problem with it. Odd.
But I want that fluffy ballon pokemon
It’s not fluffy.
The internal battery has run dry
Surprisingly this is an standart issue. Unrelated to the internal battery…
1 more ribbon (the Saturday’s what-it-called ribbon) until my shiny Dream Ball Nidoking gets all the available ribbons in ORAS. :’)
Congrats!! my Dragalgae needs one more ribbon, the Hoenn Champion ribbon
well i’m extremely upset
the stupid group kicked me out
MUST….RESIST….
LOL why?
I DON’T KNOW
UGHHHHHHHH NOTHING EVER WORKS FOR ME
Nothing is something.
The concept of nothing is something.
Hello, extremely upset the stupid group kicked me out.
Ok… so regarding Aster and Zinnia….
Here are some quotes courtesy of Bulbapedia (forgive me).
“Oh, oh, what’s this? Aren’t you a happy girl, Aster? ♪ Just what I’d expect of my daughter! We’re so in sync! Ahahaha!”
“… See that, Aster? You always wanted to watch them, right? The Litleonids. A million glittering stars falling from the sky… The show is about to start.”
“Aren’t we happy now? Yes, what could be better, dear Aster? Ha ha…””… I used to watch the stars like this all the time… Together
with Aster. We were always together. In good times and in bad. But I
still lost her.” [I think Norman mentioned that the last time the Littleonids fell was 11 years ago, so it would be logical for Zinnia to have a daughter and to have seen the meteor shower with her.]
“… Hahaha… … I want to see her… I want to be with her again… My sweet Aster…”
“I will, won’t I? With this… Just a little longer…”
[What puzzling is this part]
“Ever since I was a little girl, I have always turned my eyes up to
the sky. When I was so full of uncertainty that I felt my heart might be
crushed by it… When I was so grief-stricken and alone I thought my
heart might break of it… What about you? Have you ever had to do
something like that?”
[She talked about her being a little girl before talking about Aster, so I don’t think Aster and Zinnia are of the same relative age range.]
But she mentioned always watching the stars with her, making it obvious that Aster has been in her life for awhile.
And plus Bulbapedia leaves out her saying ‘I loved her…I loved her more than everything’, so they are missing some slight details.’
Plus she seems really young.
And don’t dismiss the language she uses with the player. ‘Good girl/boy’ ‘since you are so good’ seems like something she would use on a younger sister.
She also says “Thank you, dear.” to Aster, and that’s sounds a lot more mature. Yes, she mentioned watching the stars together with Aster(the last time was 11 years ago), so we have the following possibilities:
a) They’re sisters, at a young age.
b) Zinnia, as part of the Dragonids tribe, don’t age like regular people, so she could be in her 20s eleven years ago watching stars with Aster, who presumably around 5-6. Thus when you met her she’s in her 30s. I mean, she knocked you out, and she managed to break into Archie/Maxie bases.
c) Aster is a newborn baby or at around 1-2 years old 11 years ago when the baby dies . Maybe she conceived her at a young age due to an unfortunate “event”. That’s dark though, but Gamefreak isn’t afraid to go dark.
We don’t know her age for sure. It would be strange to call your sister “daughter”.
well apparently my venting made everyone “nervous” and the group leader just kicked me out just to get rid of me…
Real typical…..
We won’t kick you out here. <3
I see the chat is out. Same with another site I frequently visit.
Yeah. Chatango as a whole is down.
Weird…
your user name is absolutely perfect
Thanks 😛
Lol, it’s hilarious..!
Zinnia’s theme is the best theme
I agree 100%.
Are you talking about her battle theme or just her theme as a whole? Both are amazing.
Both of them haha
I love Wally’s battle theme the most, but her whole theme, especially the sorrow one, is definitely up there.
Wally’s and her theme stand out the most. They’re soooo good
I feel sad going to a SSBB party tommorrow. I need SSB4 so bad ;_;
