What is Mega Evolution?
Mega Evolution is a way to power up your Pokémon to make it stronger in a fight by making use of Mega Energy you collected. When a Pokémon has Mega Evolved you’ll get more candy of that certain Pokémon’s evolutionary line if it’s active, while it also boosts the stats of your fellow Pokémon in a raid. The type of the Mega Evolved Pokémon also gets a power boost.
How to Mega Evolve
Mega Evolving your Pokémon in Pokémon GO is relatively simple and grants a lot of power, but you can only have one Mega Evolution active at a time. You can Mega Evolve by going into the summary of the Pokémon you wish to evolve and clicking the ‘Mega Evolve’ Button which uses Mega Energy, but of course make sure it’s capable of doing so, as not every Pokémon can Mega Evolve. For example Venusaur can, but Dewgong can’t. After Mega Evolving it remains active for a set amount of time, which you can also check in the summary.
How do you get more Mega Energy
Mega Energy is crucial for Pokémon to be able to Mega Evolve and you can quickly run out of it. The best way to gather more Mega Energy is to go out and look for Mega Raids which will net you Mega Energy for the Pokémon that’s featured in that certain raid. You’ll have to do this multiple times, so make sure to seize every opportunity.
