Recently I recieved a piece of a Sceptilite and I really want to use it, as me and my Sceptile have been together forever so we have a great bond. My worry is that I’ve heard of pokemon losing control during mega evolution because of increase of power and I understand my Sceptile probably will too. So if I can’t avoid this happening, what could we do to at least prepare for mega evolution so that no one gets hurt?

I’m afraid it’s difficult to say, anonymous, because the level of control each pokémon exhibits can vary wildly. Some pokémon experience very little loss of control, while others—despite ample preparation, bonding, and meditation—become fantastically violent. I don’t mean to scare you off the idea, of course. Mega evolution can be a deeply intimate experience between pokémon and trainer if performed correctly. It just takes work and patience to reach that point.

Until then, avoid practicing mega evolution on the battlefield or in public areas. Instead, work with your sceptile in secluded places. Employ regular training regimens against anything you can use as a punching bag, rather than on anything living. Have a psychic-, ice-, or fairy-type stand by for emergencies. This sort of setup will allow you to have your sceptile gain experience with the power boost induced by mega evolution without hurting anyone or doing significant property damage.

Thus, I suppose that in a roundabout way, the answer to your question is “prepare a secure draining ground and plan your regimen.” You’ll have a better idea of what, specifically, you need to do once you try mega evolution and observe what happens to your sceptile. However, generally speaking, if you give it plenty of space and time to learn how to control its power, then it will be easier to focus on his immediate needs, rather than divide your attention between your sceptile and anything that may be in danger.

Best of luck, anonymous.
