Mega-Evolved Pokémon may appear as Raid Bosses for [[Raid Battle|Mega Raids]]. These raids, upon completion, will reward Mega Energies that correspond to the Mega Raid Boss. Upon defeat, the Raid Boss will revert to its normal form and can be caught as such during the bonus challenge.
A Pokémon currently Mega Evolved cannot be deployed to defend {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s, [[trade]]d, or [[Power Up|powered up]].

Mega Evolving a Pokémon costs a large amount of Mega Energies for the first time and a significantly reduced amount for subsequent times. As of September 3, 2020, the reduced cost is one-fifth of the initial amount. (When first introduced, subsequent Mega Evolutions required one-fourth of the initial Mega Energy.) This reduction is applied only to that specific Pokémon, not the species as a whole, and it only applies to only one Mega Evolution form, if applicable. So if a {{p|Charizard}} has previously evolved into Mega Charizard X for the first time, then it would cost {{Mega Energy|Charizard}}40 to evolve into Mega Charizard X again, but {{Mega Energy|Charizard}}200 to evolve into Mega Charizard Y.
