How to get Mega Energy in Pokemon GO?

To Mega Evolve a Pokemon for the first time, players need to collect a resource called Mega Energy. This guide will explain how to get Mega Energy and use it to Mega Evolve Pokemon in Pokemon Go.

What is Mega Evolution?

Mega Evolution is a game mechanic that allows specific Pokemon to temporarily evolve into a stronger form during battles. Mega Evolved Pokemon have increased stats and access to unique abilities, making them extremely valuable in raids, gym battles, and other combat situations.

There are several ways to obtain Mega Energy in Pokemon Go:

1. Mega Raids: Defeating a Mega Evolved Pokemon in a Mega Raid Battle is the primary way to earn Mega Energy. The faster the raid is completed, the more Mega Energy players will receive.
2. Research Tasks: Completing specific research tasks, such as Field Research or Special Research, can sometimes reward players with Mega Energy.
3. Walking with Buddy Pokemon: If a player has previously Mega Evolved a Pokemon in their Buddy Pokemon's evolutionary line, they may occasionally earn Mega Energy by walking with that Buddy Pokemon.

It is important to note that Mega Energy is specific to each Pokemon species. For example, Charizard Mega Energy can only be used to Mega Evolve Charizard and cannot be used on other Pokemon.

How to Mega Evolve Pokemon

Once players have collected enough Mega Energy for a specific Pokemon, they can Mega Evolve that Pokemon by following these steps:

1. Select the Pokemon you wish to Mega Evolve from your collection.
2. Tap the "Mega Evolve" button on the Pokemon's summary page.
3. Confirm the Mega Evolution by tapping "Yes" on the confirmation screen.

The Pokemon will remain in its Mega Evolved form for a limited time, after which it will revert to its original form.

Mega Evolution is a powerful feature in Pokemon Go that allows players to unleash the true potential of their favorite Pokemon. By collecting Mega Energy through Mega Raids, research tasks, and walking with Buddy Pokemon, players can Mega Evolve their Pokemon and dominate battles. Remember that Mega Energy is specific to each Pokemon species, and once a Pokemon has been Mega Evolved for the first time, it can be Mega Evolved again without Mega Energy after a resting period.
