Transformation Mechanics Breakdown
These evolutionary items function as mandatory activation tools for temporary power surges. Game mechanics enforce single-item limitations per save file, preventing multiple simultaneous enhancements for identical species.
Equipment Process:
- Access Pokémon’s held item interface
- Select inventory management option
- Choose appropriate transformation catalyst
- Confirm equipping through menu system
Energy Management:
Temporary transformations consume Mega Power generated through standard attacks. Switching participants preserves transformation status until energy depletion. This resource also fuels enhanced abilities, necessitating tactical allocation during combat scenarios.
