In the scans, Blastoise's, Charizard's, and Venusaur's Mega Evolutions are shown. These Evolutions can be activated when you have the appropriate Mega Stone for any of these Pokemon, as well as a Key Stone (via Nintendo Everything).

Don’t Just Evolve—Mega Evolve
- In Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee, players will be able to Mega Evolve a Pokemon once per battle if they have a Key Stone and the Mega Stone corresponding to that specific Pokemon. Mega Evolution, known as “the Evolution that transcends Evolution,” momentarily unleashes the energy within a Pokemon and can only be accomplished when a strong bond exists between the Pokemon and its Trainer. The first three Pokemon that fans will be able to Mega Evolve during their adventure will be Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise.
