Mega stones are post game only it seems from other users. You need to use BP to get them. Some of them are not available (although they may be unlocked by an update later).
I'll likely be posting a ln Game tier list when Europe gets the games on Wednesday so you guys have a chance to actually get a bit further into the game and work out what works and what doesn't.

Thanks a bunch! Deciding on the water-type slot on my squad and was thinking about going with M-Gyarados but now that I know the mega stones are available post-game made me change.
These are everywhere in the game. The most notable one early is 10K for a Drifloon (daytime only), which is a sizeable amount of money so early.
I believe some parts of the game are locked to specific times of day, although I'm not sure which specific ones (for example, I'm pretty sure the Normal trial changes it to daytime in Sun or night in Moon, but I haven't made it that far so I'm not positive). I think Sun is locked to daytime until the second rival battle at the Tapu Koko festival.
get a friend that had reached said areas, trade the pokemon, let him evolve it, trade it back
Charjabug is pretty tolerable. It's Crabrawler who falls off eventually.
Quite challenging with the Exp Share turned off (especially the Totem battles when lacking a clear counter); as trivially easy as anything from the 6th generation with Exp Share kept on. Knowing the challenges ahead and planning specific team compositions accordingly would presumably eliminate much of the challenge.
You can be caught off gaurd pretty quickly; Trainers use items more, pokemon and move selections are actually decent, and While I havent blacked out yet, I got pretty close on some fights. Thanks to the return of EXP Scaling, Exp.share is not simply easy mode; Pokemon you raise get EXP more balanced and you cant just run over pokemon 20+ levels lower than you like in XY.
I kind of agree with that -- one other point I would make is status healers via the "Pokemon Refresh" at first I was like "oh, neat this is awesome" -- then i realised how much of a hinderence the actual disablers/status conditions have become. It could be just an RNG thing (i'm not too techie on how these games work) but so far i feel that paralyses, poisons are more consistent, sleep lasts a bit longer, etc. I am not too far in but i wasn't impressed with the first 'totem' challenge -- so here's hoping they get harder.
Can confirm - wanted to SR nature on a Skill Link Pikipek but got Keen Eye every time. Super lame.
