The game will have a large Mega Evolution update that will make them more profitable.
Mega Evolutions is an addition that was added to the game many months ago. Initially, they aroused a lot of interest from players, but it soon turned out that this is a diversion that hardly anyone uses. After the initial fascination, the emotions subsided and the coaches began to avoid the Mega Raids because they seemed of little use or completely pointless.
The developers want to refresh this feature and make it more attractive to the community. What exactly will change?
Changes to Mega Evolutions in Pokemon GO
The following information appeared in the official entry on the Pokemon GO website:
Trainers,
We’re very excited to announce that an update to Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO is now live in Australia and New Zealand and will be available globally soon.
Mega Evolution is an Evolution that transcends all others. Mega Evolution temporarily changes a Pokémon’s appearance and increases its strength. In Pokémon GO, Trainers use Mega Energy to Mega Evolve their Pokémon.
But with the latest Pokémon GO update, Mega Evolution will now be easier and more rewarding than ever before!
The most important news
- Most Mega Raids will be easier. You will be able to fight in them in a smaller group of players.
- You will be able to mega-evolve your Pokemon from the raid screen and prepare for battle.
- The creature that previously underwent Mega Evolution, will now have an additional visual added to his info page to commemorate this momentous achievement.
- The makers are introducing Mega Levels and changing the way you use Mega Energy.
Mega Mastery: Introducing the Mega Levels
Being a Pokémon Trainer is all about helping your Pokémon grow, and we’re introducing a new way for you to do just that—Mega Levels! Every time you Mega Evolve a Pokémon, you work toward increasing its Mega Level. You’ll get more bonuses every time a Pokémon’s Mega Level goes up, and these bonuses will stay active while your Pokémon is Mega Evolved.
Each Mega Level grants various bonuses. Bonuses vary by Pokémon, and all bonuses will improve as a Pokémon’s Mega Level increases.
Existing bonuses
- Increased Candy when you catch Pokémon that are the same type as your Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
- While attacking with a Mega-Evolved Pokémon in a Raid Battle or a Gym battle, the attacks of other Trainers’ Pokémon challenging that same raid or Gym will deal more damage. Their Pokémon’s attacks will deal even more damage if the attack is the same type as your Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
New bonuses
- Increased chance of earning Candy XL when you catch Pokémon that are the same type as your Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
- Increased XP for catching Pokémon that are the same type as your Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
- A Pokémon’s rest period decreases as its Mega Level increases.
A one-time cost to Mega Evolve
With this update, after you Mega Evolve a Pokémon for the first time, you’ll be able to Mega Evolve that same Pokémon again without using Mega Energy!
- After Mega Evolving, your Pokémon will be fatigued and need time before it can Mega Evolve again. Once this rest period is over, that Pokémon can Mega Evolve again without using Mega Energy.
- You can use Mega Energy to decrease a Pokémon’s rest period. The Mega Energy required to Mega Evolve a Pokémon will decrease as the Pokémon’s rest period becomes shorter.
