Main story progression

Which Mega Stones are available early in the story

The Mega Stones available early in the story of Pokémon Legends: Z-A are primarily the starter Pokémon Mega Stones and a few others that are given or accessible before major story milestones. Specifically:

The starter Pokémon Mega Stones: Meganiumite, Emboarite, and Feraligatrite are typically available as you progress through the main story, often gifted during or near the end of the story arc involving your starter Pokémon.
Some Mega Stones are rewarded from early Rogue Mega Boss battles as part of the storyline.
Early in the game, you can also get Mega Stones such as Absolite (Mega Absol), Gyaradosite (Mega Gyarados), and Lucarionite (Mega Lucario) after completing certain missions and defeating Rogue Mega Pokémon.
The Stone Emporium and Quasartico shops start offering various Mega Stones for purchase later but are not generally early story sources.
Some Mega Stones available early include Clefablite, Victreebelite, and Starmieite tied to specific conditions or early areas.

So, as a summary, the true “early” accessible Mega Stones come from starter Pokémon gifts and early Rogue battles, with additional stones opening up as you progress in story missions and open shops like Quasartico. Starter Stones and a few Rogue Mega Pokémon stones are effectively the first and most reliably early available.youtube

This means you can mega evolve your starter Pokémon and some early Rogue Mega Pokémon soon after getting the Mega Ring and starting to explore Rogue Mega battles. Other Mega Stones come later from shops or special events.

If needed, detailed specific early Mega Stone acquisition depends on the points of story completion and Rogue battles done, but the above covers the general earliest available batch.

Where to find each early-game Mega Stone location

Early-game Mega Stones in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and their locations include:

Starter Pokémon Mega Stones (Meganiumite, Emboarite, Feraligatrite) are given during the early story progression.
Absolite (Mega Absol): Obtained after defeating Rogue Absol in Kiloud City.
Gyaradosite (Mega Gyarados): Purchased early from the Go Fish Shop on Route 123, accessible from the east dock (requires Cut).
Lucarionite (Mega Lucario): Rewarded after defeating Lisa in a Master Contest Hall.
Kangaskhanite (Mega Kangaskhan): Found at night behind the Pokémon Center signboard in Pacifidlog Town.
Clefablite (Mega Clefable), Victreebelite (Mega Victreebel), and Starmieite (Mega Starmie) are available in early areas under specific conditions like completing missions or at shops.
Some Mega Stones are earned from early Rogue Mega Battles in key story locations.

In general, early Mega Stones come from story-related Rogue Mega Pokémon battles or can be bought in early-access shops like the Go Fish Shop or found in safe town areas such as Pacifidlog Town.

For example:

Mega Stone	Location/Method
Meganiumite	Given during story for starter Pokémon
Emboarite	Given during story for starter Pokémon
Feraligatrite	Given during story for starter Pokémon
Absolite	Defeat Rogue Absol in Kiloud City
Gyaradosite	Buy at Go Fish Shop, Route 123 (east dock, requires Cut)
Lucarionite	After defeating Lisa in Master Contest Hall
Kangaskhanite	Pacifidlog Town behind Pokémon Center sign (night)
Clefablite	Gift or mission reward in early game
Victreebelite	Early game shop or mission-based acquisition
Starmieite	Early game shop or mission-based acquisition

Thus, these early Mega Stones are mostly found either as story rewards from defeating Rogue Mega Pokémon, or in specific early town shops and locations accessible without major game progression.

This gives you the concrete locations and methods to acquire early Mega Stones to start Mega Evolving in Pokémon Legends: Z-A early in the game.youtube
