Pokémon Go’s Mega Evolution is a special feature that allows you to transform your Pokémon into powerful creatures with boosted abilities. Creating mega forms of these creatures requires something known as Mega Energy. The bad news is that finding Mega Energy is not very easy and once you have mega-d a Pokemon, it will not stay there for a long time. The good news, however, is that you need Mega Energy only for the first time while evolving a Pokemon into a Mega Pokemon.
There are various ways in which you can gather Mega Energy to transform your Pokémon into a powerful, boosted one.
In this article, we’ll share various ways in which you can collect Mega Energy to have your next Mega Pokémon.
What is Mega Energy?
Mega Energy is a crucial resource needed to evolve Pokémon in Pokémon Go. This allows trainers to temporarily transform them into powerful Mega forms. This energy is specific to each Pokémon species, and once acquired, it temporarily boosts a Pokémon's abilities during battles and offers a unique gameplay experience.
It is important to note that Mega Evolution in Pokémon Go is temporary. It lasts for eight hours before a Pokémon reverts to its original form. Following this, the Pokémon does not require additional Mega Energy for subsequent Mega Evolutions.
Different Ways to Get Mega Energy in Pokémon Go
Now, let us take a look at some ways in which one can gather Mega Energy to transform their Pokémon into powerful creatures.
Mega Raids
This is considered to be one of the most effective ways to collect Mega Energy in abundance. Battling against Mega Pokémon in these exciting raids can fetch you around 100-300 Mega Energy of that species. Sometimes it might not be enough energy to evolve a Pokémon and hence, you may have to participate in the raid more than once.
One should also keep in mind that each form of Mega Energy is specific to each species of Pokémon. Therefore, it is important to be careful about the type of Pokémon you are going to be battling against. Another point to note is that the Mega Pokémon you capture will revert to its original form after defeating it, and you will have to feed it the appropriate amount of energy to evolve it.
Field Research Tasks
Spinning PokeStops and finding appropriate tasks is another way to gather Mega Energy. While spinning PokeStops is part of the daily gameplay, you can still use it to gather valuable rewards for yourself.
Timed Research
If luck is on your side, it could be possible that Niantic introduces timed research tasks that will yield rewards in the form of Mega Energy. These may come during exclusive events along with special research tasks. So, always stay on the lookout for these tasks.
Walking with Buddy Pokémon
If you are looking for a break from Pokémon battles and just want to relax but also want to gather Mega Energy, then you should consider strolling with a buddy Pokémon. This method allows you to accumulate considerable Mega Energy for specific Pokémon species within your buddy's evolutionary line. While this method may take some time, it is also an easy and nonconventional way to gain Mega Energy.
These are some methods that can be used to gather Mega Energy and evolve your Pokémon into a Mega Pokémon.
