Due to it having such a powerful effect, Mega Evolution requires Pokemon and/or evolutions that are only available after beating the game (ex. Kyogre, Charizard...etc.). The pre-evolved forms can also use the Empowerment Seed but will be using an Awakened status, not the Mega Evolution.

To trigger the Mega Evolution, you need to feed the eligible Pokemon a Empowerment Seed. This boosts their stats greatly & you will receive all the positive effects of Mega Evolution.
Empowerment Seed Available As Loot or Reward
Empowerment Seeds can sometimes be found in a dungeon (we recommend Buried Relic - it has a lot!) or be given as a reward when completing a job. These item provide an extremely powerful effect, so the supplies would naturally be limited. Choose wisely when to use them!
Mega Evolution Effects
Boosts Pokemon's Stats & Performance
Aside from visual changes, Mega Evolved Pokemon will have new moves, boosted stats, and increased battle performance. This makes them an extremely formidable foe in battle.
Linked Moves Always Critically Hit
Due to the boosted stats and performance, linked moves of your Mega Evolved Pokemon in the game will almost always do critical hits. It's best to use Mega Evolution when facing powerful foes or dungeon bosses.
Can Ignore Type Match Weaknesses
When a Pokemon is Mega Evolved, it will ignore its type's weaknesses. This is great when facing off with a boss that you have a type disadvantage with.
Effect Lasts Multiple Floors
The effect of Mega Evolution seems to be limited, but it will definitely persist for many floors. We are not sure of the exact number yet.
What Is Mega Evolution?
Powerful Temporary Evolution Transformation
First introduced in Pokemon X & Y, Mega Evolution is a temporary state of evolution that only Pokemon can use.
Not All Pokemon Can Mega Evolve
