The highly-anticipated Pokemon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension DLC for Nintendo Switch has introduced a fresh set of Mega Evolutions, significantly enriching the strategic gameplay and collectible content within the latest main series entry.
Developed by Game Freak and launched through the Nintendo eShop, the DLC expands the palette of Mega Stones—unique items utilized to trigger Mega Evolutions in battle.
These newly unveiled Mega Stones are woven into the game's main story, exclusive side missions, Rogue Mega encounters, and various postgame activities.
This comprehensive guide details every known method to acquire all new Mega Stones in Pokemon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension DLC, enabling trainers to optimize their journey through Lumiose City's futuristic landscape. ### Main Story Mega Stones: Six Essential Rewards Progressing through the central DLC narrative will grant players six brand-new Mega Stones, primarily awarded after pivotal battles featuring rogue Mega Evolved Pokemon.
Each stone corresponds directly to a specific Pokemon, with completion of dedicated story missions being the sole requirement for acquisition: - **Absol (Z Mega)**: Obtain the Absolite Z by finishing "Hyperspace Lumiose Survey No.
1." - **Staraptor**: Unlock the Staraptite after "Hyperspace Lumiose Survey No.
2." - **Tatsugiri**: The Tatsugirinite is yours upon completing "Hyperspace Lumiose Survey No.
3." - **Meowstic**: Secure Meowsticite via "Hyperspace Lumiose Survey No.
4." - **Heatran**: Earn the Heatranite after "Hyperspace Lumiose Survey No.
5." - **Darkrai**: Claim Darkranite through success in "Hyperspace Lumiose Survey No.
6." ### Unlockable Mega Stones via Side Missions In addition to story milestones, seven more Mega Stones can be earned by finishing unique side missions.
These quests introduce challenging battles and narrative twists: - **Raichu**: Complete mission 139, "The Daunting Raichu Duo," to collect Raichunite X and Raichunite Y. - **Crabominable**: Achieve success in mission 141, "Rogue Mega Showdown," to get Crabominite. - **Magearna**: Finish mission 195, "Restarting Magearna"—only after the main DLC story, mission 190, and mission 162—for Magearnite. - **Lucario**: Secure Lucarionite Z in mission 197, "Ultra-Hardcore Lucario Showdown," post-main DLC completion. - **Latios & Latias**: Side mission 189, "Siblings of the Sky," rewards Latiosite and Latiasite, but the corresponding Pokemon must be caught in five-star Unknown Zones. ### Rogue Mega Encounters: Wild Zone Challenges Upon advancing far enough in the main DLC narrative, trainers unlock "UNKNOWN Hyperspace Zones." Zones marked with the message “Unidentified Mega Stone detected!” are tied to rogue Mega Pokemon.
Victorious trainers are awarded one of five unique stones: - **Chimecho**: Chimechite from 2-star Hyperspace Wild Stone encounters. - **Scovillain**: Scovillainite, also in 2-star Hyperspace Wild Stone. - **Golurk**: Golurkite is a reward from 3-star Hyperspace Wild Stones. - **Golisopod**: Golisopite surfaces in 3-star Wild Stones. - **Glimmora**: Glimmorite, only from 4-star Hyperspace Wild Stones. ### Exclusive and Postgame Mega Stones By venturing beyond the core storyline, players can unlock six additional Mega Stones, some as competitive rewards and others as secrets: - **Baxcalibur**: Baxcalibrite for Ranked Battle Season 4 victors. - **Sceptile**: Sceptilite, awarded in Ranked Battle Season 5. - **Swampert**: Swampertite, available during Ranked Battle Season 6. - **Blaziken**: Blazikenite, distributed in Season 7. - **Zeraora**: Find Zeraorite after completing the hidden side quest "Raging Lightning," which involves unique trading and item crafting sequences. - **Garchomp (Z Mega)**: Garchompite Z can be claimed through a limited-time Mystery Gift side quest. Game Freak continues to refine post-launch support for Pokemon Legends Z-A, deepening the game’s appeal with robust content updates.
The DLC's Mega Stone integration further incentivizes exploration and competitive battles on the Nintendo Switch platform.
Players eager to maximize their Mega Evolution collection should complete both the main story and all additional side missions, ensuring no Mega Stone is left unclaimed.
