This Mega Energy is closely related to the Mega Evolutions of Pokémon. We would almost say that it is the fundamental part to achieve this higher state. With the new function that Niantic has implemented, we can add one more way to obtain this Megaenergy.
How to get Mega Energy in Pokémon GO
We say that it is related to Mega Evolutions because Pokémon require that energy to evolve. This special evolutionary phase is only available for a determined time, so we must get more mega energy to return to that state. Until now, the ways to get this item were only through Mega Raids or a reward in Research.
However, thanks to our partner Pokémon we will be able to achieve more and with less effort. And it is that Niantic also allows get it by walking with our Pokémon Partner. What we must be clear about is the need that is already mega evolved, that is, that it is a Companion with Mega Evolution unlocked.
- If for example we place our Blastoise as a partnerSince this is a Pokémon that has Mega Evolution, we will be able to accumulate Blastoise’s Mega Energy (in addition to earning candy of its kind, as always).
- Thus for every 1 kilometer let us walk with our partner we will earn 5 points of Megaenergía.
- This method is only valid if we have already Mega Evolved our Pokémon at least one first time.
- It should be remembered that the limit of Mega Energy that can be accumulated for a Pokémon is 200 points.
On the other hand, if it is mega evolved at the time it is also Partner (Mega Companion), we can get candies further. We will also get candies by capturing some raid bossregardless of its type. However, for a Mega evolution occur, before you must have obtained through a raid.
Advantages of having a Mega Evolution
When you activate a Pokémon’s Mega Evolution, it temporarily gains some beneficial perks and bonuses. Specifically, these advantages serve to improve statistics of the creature and offer a attack bonus in raid fighting.
- When a Mega Evolution Pokémon is used in a Raid, an attack bonus is granted to all other Pokémon participants.
- This bonus is disabled if the Mega Evolution Pokémon is weakened or swapped.
- The bonus of several Mega Evolution Pokémon at the same time is not cumulative.
In addition to all the changes generated by being able to get Megaenergy in Pokémon GO through our partner, we can also see what our friends do. That is, if any of our friends that we have added to the game have a Mega-evolved Pokémon.
