The Hoenn starters—Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip—have some of the most iconic Mega Evolutions in the Pokémon series. In Pokémon Legends Z-A, their Mega Stones return as powerful late-game items that unlock Mega Sceptile, Mega Blaziken, and Mega Swampert.

The game spreads each Mega Stone across a different region of Lumiose and its surrounding wild zones, and each one requires a unique challenge. This guide walks you through the exact locations and what you need to do to obtain Sceptilite, Blazikenite, and Swampertite.

🌿 How to Get Sceptilite (Mega Sceptile)

The Mega Stone for the Treecko evolutionary line is found in Feral Grove, a dense and ancient forest on the outskirts of Lumiose. This zone is packed with Grass-type Pokémon and tall vertical terrain.

Steps to Obtain Sceptilite

1. Travel to Feral Grove after unlocking the mid-game wild zones.

2. Look for the towering tree with green glowing runes spiraling up the trunk—it's the only one of its kind in the forest.

3. Climb the structure using your ride Pokémon.

4. At the highest platform, you’ll find a small moss-covered shrine. Interact with it.

5. The shrine rewards you instantly with Sceptilite—no battle required.

Tip: Bring a Pokémon with good mobility skills; the climb is long and occasionally guarded by aggressive Grass-types.

🔥 How to Get Blazikenite (Mega Blaziken)

Blaziken's Mega Stone is located in the Magma Reservoir, a lava-filled underground zone beneath Lumiose. Expect lots of Fire- and Rock-type encounters.

Steps to Obtain Blazikenite

1. Enter the Magma Reservoir through the subterranean tunnels that open late mid-game.

2. Navigate toward the central chamber until you find a cracked obsidian pillar surrounded by heat distortions.

3. Approaching it triggers a battle with a Guardian Blaziken, a powerful alpha-style encounter.

4. Defeat the Guardian.

5. The pillar collapses and reveals Blazikenite at its core.

Tip: Water- or Ground-type Pokémon make this fight far easier. Pack burn-healing items as well.

🌊 How to Get Swampertite (Mega Swampert)

Swampert’s Mega Stone is hidden in the Sunken Works, a flooded extension of Mauville’s old electrical grid. This zone becomes accessible once you gain underwater traversal.

Steps to Obtain Swampertite

1. Dive into the Sunken Works through the broken power conduit near the Electric Sector.

2. Reach the lower chamber marked by a giant swirling whirlpool.

3. Inside, solve the water-flow puzzle by aligning three rotating valves until all pipes glow blue.

4. Once completed, the water drains from the central platform.

5. Gather Swampertite from the newly revealed pedestal.

Tip: Watch for aggressive Water-types in the tunnels—they love ambushing from behind pipes.

⭐ Bonus: Unlocking All Three Locations Faster

If you chose Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip as your starter, you’ll receive a quest called "Legacy of Petalburg" after defeating the third story titan. Completing this quest places map markers for all three Mega Stone locations, letting you skip the search and head straight to the challenges.

🎉 Final Thoughts

The Hoenn Starter Mega Stones aren’t just powerful items—they’re a great set of side challenges that showcase the environmental variety of Legends Z-A. Whether you’re climbing ancient tree shrines, battling in molten caverns, or draining puzzles in underwater ruins, each Mega Stone feels like a mini-adventure.

If you’re planning to Mega Evolve your Hoenn partner, tackling these locations early is absolutely worth it.
