Once you’ve collected enough Mega Energy, your Pokémon will be ready to Mega Evolve.Īs mentioned before, not every Pokémon can Mega Evolve. Note that you can also earn Mega Energy by completing certain Field Research and Timed Research tasks.

You can track your Pokémon’s Mega Energy right next to where that Pokémon’s Candy and Candy XL are displayed. The exact number of Mega Raid Battles you’ll need to win depends on how much Mega Energy you earn after each raid and how much Mega Energy a given Pokémon requires. In some cases, a single successful Mega Raid will give you enough Mega Energy to Mega Evolve your Pokémon, while other Pokémon will require more. To find a Mega Raid, look for tan-and-brown Eggs with the Mega Energy symbol appearing above Gyms. Depending on how quickly you defeat the Raid Boss, you can expect to earn between 150 and 250 Mega Energy per successful raid. The faster you defeat the Raid Boss, the more Mega Energy you’ll receive, so be sure to invite friends and plan your lineup carefully. At the end of a successful Mega Raid, you’ll earn Mega Energy for that Pokémon regardless of whether or not you catch the Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The most accessible option is to participate in Mega Raids, which are Raid Battles that feature Mega-Evolved Pokémon. You’ll need a certain amount of Mega Energy before you can Mega Evolve a Pokémon, and there are a few different ways to acquire it.
