Niantic really shook things up for Pokémon Go fans in December 2022. They introduced XXS and XXL size Pokémon. You could find tiny or huge versions of creatures like Poochyena, Mightyena, and Mawile. Then, on Jan. 17, they made it possible for all Pokémon to have size variants.
Community Reaction
The fan base had mixed feelings. Seeing the size difference was wild! Yet, some players found it cool, while others saw it as just a fun add-on. Everyone agrees on one thing, though. Mega Pokémon stay the same size. They don’t shrink or grow, even if they can Mega Evolve.
What It Means
So, this doesn’t shake up the game too much. But, it does mean we can see teeny-tiny or massive Mega Pokémon. Imagine a small yet fierce XXS Mega Pokémon or a towering XXL one. It sounds fun, right?
Players are a bit puzzled, especially with the tiny Mega Pokémon. Still, it’s a neat consistent touch. It adds some unique charm. Some will be small but strong, and others will be giants.
Catching Them All
Players are excited to catch these special size Pokémon. Picture a huge Mega Charizard or Mega Blastoise in a battle. Or, think about a tiny Mega Pidgeot or Mega Beadrill with a lot of power.
Mega Evolution
To make a Pokémon mega evolve, you need Mega Energy. It turns into its Mega form for eight hours. After that, it needs rest. Remember, you can only Mega Evolve one Pokémon at a time. If you try two, the first goes back to normal.
In short, Niantic’s new feature adds a fun twist to Pokémon Go. Whether it’s catching different sizes or seeing mega evolutions, it keeps things fresh. So, happy hunting for those unique sizes!
