After introducing Mega Evolution into Pokemon Go in August 2020, Niantic has announced a few changes to the way the superpowered Pokemon will work.
The main addition to Mega Evolution is Mega Levels, which increase each time a Pokemon uses Mega Evolution. As a Pokemon Mega evolves, the Mega Level will increase, which in turn earns the player more bonuses while the Mega Evolution is active. Also, once a Pokemon Mega Evolves for the first time, there will be no cost to Mega Evolve again, the secondary cost replaced with a fatigue timer that determines when it can power up again.
The full list of updates coming to Pokemon Go Mega Evolution is below:
The Mega Evolution update is now live in Australia and New Zealand, and it will roll out to the rest of the world “soon” according to Niantic. The Mega Evolution change was one of two Pokemon Go announcements today, the other being the next Community Day featuring Alolan Geodude.
