Niantic is changing the way Mega Evolution works in Pokemon Go, and it’s time to level up.

The main addition to Mega Evolution is Mega Levels, which increase each time a Pokemon uses Mega Evolution.

As the Mega Level increases, players will get more bonuses when the Pokemon’s Mega Evolution is active.

The damage increases further if the attack is the same pop in as your Mega-Evolved Pokemon.

Increased XP gained for catching Pokemon that are the same jot down as your Mega-Evolved Pokemon.

A Pokemons rest period decreases as its Mega Level increases.

Once this rest period is over, that Pokemon can Mega Evolve again without using Mega Energy.

it’s possible for you to use Mega Energy to decrease a Pokemons rest period.

The Mega Energy required to Mega Evolve a Pokemon will decrease as the Pokemons rest period becomes shorter.

Other changes

Most Mega Raids will be easier to win.

Pokemon that have previously Mega Evolved will now feature an additional visual effect on the information page.
