How to Obtain and Utilize Mega Energy in Pokemon Go

In Pokémon Go, players aim to evolve Pokémon they catch in the wild or through Raids. This makes them stronger. Another step is Mega Evolution. This boosts their combat skills, changes their type, and makes them more powerful.

To get a Pokémon to Mega Evolve, you need something called Mega Energy. But how do you get it quickly? Here’s all you need to know.

What Is Mega Energy?

Mega Energy is key in Pokémon Go. It’s like Pokémon Candy but specific to each Pokémon. You can have up to 9,999 of each type. Its main use is for Mega Evolution.

Getting Your Hands on Mega Energy

There are three main ways to get Mega Energy:
– Beat Mega Pokémon in Mega Raids
– Finish Research Tasks
– Walk with a Buddy Pokémon from a line that has Mega Evolved before

The Fastest Way to Mega Energy

The quickest way to get Mega Energy is by winning Mega Raids against Mega Pokémon. The faster you win, the more Mega Energy you get.

If you’re not into fighting, the Buddy Pokémon method works faster than tasks. You get five Mega Energy for each kilometer walked. Not too shabby!

Using Mega Energy

Using Mega Energy is easy. First, find Pokémon that can Mega Evolve using the “Can Mega Evolve” tag. Open the Main Menu, hit the Pokémon button, then search with the Magnifying Glass. Pick a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve to see how much Mega Energy you need.

To start the evolution, tap on the Mega Evolve tab and say yes. Your Pokémon becomes Mega Evolved for eight hours.

Just remember, only one Pokémon can Mega Evolve at a time. If you Mega Evolve another, the first one goes back to normal.
