A passage about an increase in speed was also found. However, it is currently not clear how this will be implemented.
This is known about the evolution: So far, it was known that Mega Evolutions are temporary. Now a passage has been found stating that such evolutions should last for X hours.
So it is now known that the evolution does not last just for one battle, but at least for several hours.
Additionally, several warning messages have been found that indicate when a Mega Pokémon reverts to its previous form.
Mega Evolutions are not tradable.
This is known about the field research: There will be new field research focusing on Mega Evolutions. This includes quests such as “Perform a Mega Evolution with Blastoise” or simply the classic “Perform a Mega Evolution.”
In addition, there are quests that reward you for battling with Mega Evolutions in raids or completing Mega Raids.
This is known about the Mega event: Apparently, an event will be held for the release of the Mega Pokémon. Some bonuses are already known, which will be visible in the Today View. There are likely several challenges. The contents of these include:
- Increased friendship bonus when battling in raids
- The time for a Mega Evolution will be tripled during a Mega Battle Challenge
- More raids will appear during a Mega Raid Challenge
- Special snapshots and double duration for Snivy
What do all the findings indicate? It seems it won’t be long before we find the Mega Evolutions in Pokémon GO. In the past, it only took a few days for a new feature to be introduced when so much information had been found beforehand.
So we can expect the big release soon. We have provided you with a comprehensive overview of the Mega Evolutions . There we explain the function and reveal which Pokémon can actually receive a Mega Evolution.
In Pokémon GO, we could soon expect Mega Evolutions. Dataminers have again found numerous details about the Megas.
This is the status of the Mega Evolutions: A few weeks ago, Pokémon GO announced the Mega Evolutions itself. After that, there were some small teasers, but no further information was provided.
Recently, the first leak about the Megas surfaced. Dataminers had found numerous details. A new update seemed to focus almost exclusively on the Mega Evolutions.
A subsequent text update has now brought even more information about the Megas into play. It seems nearly everything is ready for this new form of Pokémon to be available soon.
All new information about the Mega Evolutions
Where the information comes from: It was shared by the Pokéminers on reddit. They regularly search the code of Pokémon GO and share the information transparently.
This is what was found: There are several exciting pieces of information regarding the Mega Evolutions. We summarize:
- Details about the 2 new Mega Medals
- A new special research about Mega Evolutions
- Special effects of the Mega Evolutions in raids
- Further information on the development of the Megas
- Field research on Mega Evolutions
- First event about Mega Evolutions
What is known about the medals? There will likely be 2 new medals that you can earn by performing Mega Evolutions with Pokémon.
The first medal refers to general Mega Pokémon evolutions: “Perform X times a Mega Evolution with Pokémon” and the second medal refers to the different evolution of Pokémon: “Perform a Mega Evolution with X different Pokémon.”
What is known about the new special research: This research focuses exclusively on Mega Evolutions. So far, texts from Professor Willow have been found for 4 stages. The following can be inferred from this:
- Mega Beedrill is likely to be the first Mega Evolution in the game and you will receive it through special research
- In Mega Raids, you will initially find Blastoise, Charizard, and Venusaur
- For each Mega Evolution, energy must be gathered, which will then be consumed during the evolution
- In a further Mega Evolution, the energy costs will be lowered
- The mentioned energy can be obtained, among other places, in raids
- In the PvP League, Mega Evolutions are initially not usable
- It seems that not all Mega Evolutions will be available at the beginning
- At the end of the research, you will receive a Mega Bracelet, which is only an accessory and not needed for the evolution
This is how the evolutions affect raids: The dataminers have found a relevant passage regarding this. It states that a Mega Pokémon boosts attacks of a certain type.
This should also affect Pokémon in the raid that are not Mega Evolutions. This could be comparable to the boosts from friendship and weather. Raids could therefore be easier to defeat.
A passage about an increase in speed was also found. However, it is currently not clear how this will be implemented.
