I was one match from promotion when my Charizard failed to Mega. You know the sting — a single missing item can erase an hour of careful play. I promised myself I’d never be that short again.
I write from the trenches: I test sets, track patches, and move pieces weekend after weekend. If you want to climb the ladder, you need a plan for collecting Mega Stones fast and reliably.
How to get all Mega Stones in Pokémon Champions
I started the soft launch with just one stone after the tutorial and immediately saw how thin the margin was between victory and defeat.
Here’s how those stones arrive in your inventory, in plain terms and three clear paths: free tutorial rewards, transfers from Pokémon HOME, and purchases via the in-game shop or the paid Battle Pass. The paid Battle Pass commonly costs around $4.99 (€5) on the Nintendo eShop; many players treat that as the cheapest shortcut to several stones. Most shop Mega Stones cost 2000 VP each — the in-game currency you earn or buy through the store.

How do I obtain Mega Stones in Pokémon Champions?
Short answer: three routes. Complete the tutorial to claim several stones for free. Transfer qualifying Pokémon from Pokémon HOME and receive their stones at no extra charge. Or buy specific stones from the in-game shop for 2000 VP each, or get them through the paid Battle Pass (again, roughly $4.99/€5 for the pass on Nintendo platforms).
Which Mega Stones are free right now?
The tutorial grants a handful—Garchompite, Beedriliite, Gyaradosite, Steelixite, Hercronite, Aggronite, Manectite, and Abomasite. Stones tied to transferred Pokémon—Chesnaughtite, Delphoxite, Greninjite, and Floettite—arrive via HOME transfers. Everything else is a shop or Battle Pass item; keep that table handy when you’re planning team upgrades.
Should I spend VP or transfer from HOME?
I recommend this playbook: if you already use Pokémon HOME to move favorites between games, grab the transfer stones first—no VP spent. If you need a meta-defining piece now (think Mega Greninja or Mega Charizard variants), buying the shop stone or picking a paid Battle Pass can be faster. Mega Stones are the skeleton key of the metagame, and sometimes a single purchase shortens a climb by weeks.
Some practical tips from my lab: track patch notes from The Pokémon Company and community reporting on Moyens I/O and Reddit; those sources will flag when a stone becomes available in a new bundle or event. Also, prioritize stones for Pokémon you actually play — Mega Greninja and Mega Charizard still swing matches heavily in the current brackets.
Dropping a Mega into battle is a thunderclap that rewrites the board; plan that moment like an ambush, not a surprise.
Are you going to hoard stones for one perfect team or spread them across several squads to keep your options open?
