Primal Mega Evolutions Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get my first Mega Stone?
Craft a Mega Stone at the Smithing Table using the appropriate recipe for your desired Pokémon—for example, Noivernite for Noivern. You'll need to gather the base materials first, which are obtainable through normal survival gameplay.
What's the difference between regular Mega Evolution and Mega Showdown?
Mega Showdown is the battle system this mod uses to trigger Mega Evolutions mid-combat. Your Pokémon transforms during battle when you have the corresponding Mega Stone in your inventory, gaining stat boosts, new abilities, and sometimes different typing.
Can I ride any Mega-Evolved Pokémon?
Only airborne Mega forms can be ridden, such as Mega Noivern and Mega Flygon. Equip a saddle on your Mega-Evolved flying-type and use the ride keybind to soar through the sky.
Do Mega Stones break or disappear after use?
No, Mega Stones are reusable items that stay in your inventory after triggering a Mega Evolution. You can use the same stone multiple times across different battles.
What new abilities do Mega-Evolved Pokémon get?
Each Mega Evolution grants a unique ability—for example, Mega Noivern gains Pixilate. Check the mod's documentation or in-game descriptions for the specific ability each form receives.
Can I see which Mega Evolutions I've unlocked?
Yes, the mod includes dedicated advancements that track your progress as you collect each Mega Stone and trigger Mega Evolutions in battle. Open your advancements screen to view your collection.
Do shiny Pokémon get shiny Mega forms?
Yes, shiny Pokémon retain their shiny status when they Mega Evolve, and the mod includes custom shiny textures for all Mega forms to match their enhanced appearance.
What type changes happen during Mega Evolution?
Type changes vary by Pokémon—for example, Mega Noivern becomes Fairy and Dragon type instead of its original typing. Refer to each Pokémon's guide to see its new dual type after Mega Evolution.
Do I need a special item to trigger Mega Showdown, or just the Mega Stone?
You only need the corresponding Mega Stone in your inventory during battle; the mod automatically triggers the transformation when conditions are met. No additional items or commands are required.
Are there stat boosts when a Pokémon Mega Evolves?
Yes, Mega-Evolved Pokémon gain extra stats as part of their transformation, making them significantly stronger in battle. The exact stat distribution varies by Pokémon form.
