After requests from the community, Niantic confirms that from now on the Mega Companion will also be able to get the item to megaevolve.
Niantic has announced that, from now on, Pokémon with Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO will be able to get Mega Energy when walking if they are our Companions. It was a request since this original Generation VI powered form was introduced to the game, so no more waiting. Of course, there are nuances.
Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO: +5 Mega Energy for each kilometer walked
For our Companion to gain Mega Energy when walking, it is necessary that he is already mega evolved, that is, he must be a Companion with Mega Evolution unlocked. In addition, if when he is mega evolved he is also a Companion (Mega Companion), we will get additional Candy. Also, we will get Candy when we capture a raid boss regardless of type. The last change added with the recent game update is that from now on we will see in the friends list which Trainers and Trainers have a mega-evolved Pokemon.
- Cost to unlock a Pokémon’s Mega Evolution: 200 ME or 100 ME, depending on the species.
- Activate Mega Evolution on a previously Mega Evolved Pokémon: 40 ME or 20 ME, depending on the species.
- Maximum Mega Energy Capacity: 2,000
- Duration of activated Mega Evolution: 8 hours.
- Mega Energy gained from walking with a Pokémon Buddy: 5 for every km walked (15 for every 3 km)
Mega Venusaur leaves the Raids; Mega Gengar returns
Niantic reports on the official blog that in the early morning of October 24 Mega Gengar will be available in Raids, while Mega Venusaur will leave after all this available time. Soon we will have the full rotation updated in FreeGameTips.
Another novelty that deserves to be highlighted is that from this Thursday, November 12 at 23:30 (CET) until Monday, November 16 at 17:00 (CET) the limit of exchanges is increased. During this trial period we will be able to exchange Pokémon with other trainers up to 10 km away.
This Sunday the Electabuzz Community Day takes place; check the cover of FreeGameTips this weekend to know all the details of the event in our guide.
