What are Rogue Mega Evolutions?
Wild Pokemon That Mega Evolve
Unlike in Pokemon XY and ORAS, where Pokemon can only Mega Evolve in battle, Rogue Mega Evolutions allow wild Pokemon to Mega Evolve. This means that players can now encounter Mega Evolutions while roaming Lumiose City, without needing to battle an opposing trainer with a Mega Stone.

Differences from Mega Evolution
No Need for Mega Stones
Since Rogue Mega Evolutions can only occur in the wild, there's no trainer that can activate a Mega Stone. This could either mean that these Pokemon don't need a Mega Stone once caught, they cannot be caught at all, or they'll require a Mega Stone once they have been pacified.
Wild Pokemon Becomes a Raid Boss
Similar to Max or Tera Raid Dens, interacting with a Rogue Mega Evolution will start a boss raid where you can enlist the help of an ally to take them down. These Pokemon are much stronger than regular Wild Pokemon, as denoted by the HP bar at the top of the screen, as well as the overall buffs from Mega Evolving.
Requires Your Own Mega Evolution
Before you can battle a Rogue Mega Evolution, you will first need your own Pokemon that can Mega Evolve. However, it's currently unknown if this is a requirement, or if it's just highly recommended so that you can match the wild Pokemon's power in battle.
How to Find Rogue Mega Evolutions
Look for Pokemon That Glow
Rogue Mega Evolutions can be found by looking for a Pokemon that has a red-ish pink glowing swirl around it. Unlike regular wild Pokemon, Rogue Mega Evolutions also appear during daytime, making them a lot easier to find, aside from the fact that they also glow.
Not All Pokemon Have a Rogue Mega Evolution
As a note, not all Pokemon can have a Rogue Mega Evolution. This is because Mega Evolutions are only available to certain Pokemon, meaning that only Pokemon that Mega Evolve can experience a Rogue Mega Evolution.
