Pokémon with the same type as the Mega Evolved Pokémon will receive an even greater attack boost."Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!" "Seeking Shelter From the Storm!" The Fake Satoshi Appears!!). Mega Beedrill will also make its debut this week, with Mega Energy available via a new questline from hunky Professor Willow.Īs well as being all-round powerful, Mega Pokémon will boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in raids (which will be useful to complete harder raid bosses with fewer players). Mega Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise will launch this week and be available to battle in raids. (It's unclear if other methods of obtaining Mega Energy will be available.)

The faster you complete these raids, the more Mega Energy you will receive - encouraging you to battle with as many players as possible.

You can receive more Mega Energy for a particular species by battling that creature in Mega Raids - a new tier of raid battle set to launch alongside Mega Evolution. (Only one of your Pokémon can be Mega Evolved at any particular time.) After Mega Evolving a particular creature once, it will then be cheaper to Mega Evolve in future. While a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its Mega Energy will deplete over time. Mega Energy is discreet to each Pokémon species - like Pokémon candy. In Pokémon Go, Mega Pokémon require Mega Energy to evolve and will remain in their Mega form as long as they have enough Mega Energy to continue to do so. Pokémon Go gets its first Mega Pokémon this week, as well as a whole chunk of new gameplay centred around how these super-powered Pokémon will work.Īs in the main series of Pokémon games, Mega Evolution in Pokémon Go is a temporary effect.
