笔辞办é尘辞苍 Go now has Mega Evolution, allowing you to make strong 笔辞办é尘辞苍 and make them even stronger. In this 笔辞办é尘辞苍 Go guide, we’ll show you how to get Mega Energy and use it to power up your 笔辞办é尘辞苍 with Mega Evolution, explaining candy, candy bonus, raids and more along the way.

There’s also Primal Reversion, which works very similarly to Mega Evolution (to a point where it might as well be the same thing). Primal Reversion is only for Kyogre and Groudon and is technically a different thing.

Update (Feb. 28, 2023): We’ve updated this guide with more Mega Evolutions added to the game in recent events.


Perks of Mega Evolution

Mega Evolution makes your 笔辞办é尘辞苍 stronger, yes, but there’s also a few other perks you get when you have and use a Mega Evolved 笔辞办é尘辞苍.

One perk includes bonus candy for that type of 笔辞办é尘辞苍. You’ll also have a higher chance to get XL Candy for 笔辞办é尘辞苍 of the same type, if you’re at least level 40. If you have a Mega Pidgeot (normal-type) active, you’ll get bonus Buneary Candy when you catch Buneary or Lopunny (also normal-type). (This amount isn’t multiplied by Pinap Berries.)

You’ll also get increased catch XP from 笔辞办é尘辞苍 the same type as your Mega Evolved 笔辞办é尘辞苍.

When you raid with Mega Evolved 笔辞办é尘辞苍, they boost stats of your allies’ 笔辞办é尘辞苍, as well as give an additional type boost to 笔辞办é尘辞苍 of the same type. For example, if you use a Mega Lopunny, normal- and fighting-type moves will get boosted.


Increasing Mega Levels

After the Mega Evolution revamp, your Mega Evolved 笔辞办é尘辞苍 now have Mega Levels, which increase the more your Mega Evolve them. As the 笔辞办é尘辞苍 increases its Mega Levels, the bonuses listed above will increase.


How to get Mega Energy in 笔辞办é尘辞苍 Go

To Mega Evolve your 笔辞办é尘辞苍, you’ll have to collect Mega Energy for that specific 笔辞办é尘辞苍. Find Mega 笔辞办é尘辞苍 in Mega Raids, take them on, and earn Mega Energy for that specific 笔辞办é尘辞苍. The faster you beat them, the more Mega Energy you’ll be rewarded.

It will take multiple raids of the same 笔辞办é尘辞苍 before you’ll have enough energy to Mega Evolve, and most Mega Evolutions rotate in and out of raids. Not all Mega Evolutions will be available year-round, so make sure to stock up on any Mega Energy you want before the 笔辞办é尘辞苍 leaves Mega Raids.

You can also get Mega Energy from some Field Research and Timed Research Tasks as rewards.

If you previously Mega Evolved the 笔辞办é尘辞苍, you can set it as your buddy and walk with them to amass Mega Energy as well.


How to Mega Evolve your 笔辞办é尘辞苍 in 笔辞办é尘辞苍 Go

You can only have one Mega 笔辞办é尘辞苍 at a time. If you Mega Evolve a different one, your first 笔辞办é尘辞苍 will revert back to normal and you’ll need to collect Mega Energy to evolve it again.

Using a Mega 笔辞办é尘辞苍 in a raid gives other 笔辞办é尘辞苍 an attack boost, with an additional attack boost given to 笔辞办é尘辞苍 of the same type. These boosts do not stack.

Your 笔辞办é尘辞苍 will only be Mega Evolved for a time period, which you can check on the information screen for that 笔辞办é尘辞苍. Once it returns to normal, you can Mega Evolve it again for no energy cost after a cooldown. You can use Mega Energy to decrease the cooldown time.
