Mega Evolutions also exist in Pokémon Go, currently 25 Mega Evolutions are available in GO. Mega Evolution is achieved by using [[Mega Energy]]. Mega Energy has a limit of 2000 per Pokémon in a trainer's inventory, it is a resource similar to Candy. Shadow Pokémon are unable to Mega Evolve, when a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, it lasts for a period of 8 hours. Once this period is over it starts a countdown for the Pokémon's rest period. When the rest period is over, the Pokémon can Mega Evolve with no Mega Energy cost. There are different levels for mega evolved Pokémon, levels are advanced by Mega Evolving the Pokémon multiple times. The higher the level, the shorter the rest period, and the more the Mega Bonuses do.
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020, and initially introduced Mega Evolutions for {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Beedrill}}, followed by the gradual introduction of more Mega Evolutions over time. Mega Evolving a Pokémon for the first time, or during its resting period costs [[Mega Energy]], which can be obtained by defeating Mega Raid Bosses, and by completing specific research tasks. Mega Evolution lasts for a period of 8 hours, providing bonuses based on the Pokémon's type(s) and Mega level. During this time catching Pokémon that share a type with the Mega Evolution rewards an increased amount of candy, stardust, experience, and chance of getting XL Candy, as well as an increasing the power of allies' moves that share a type with the Mega Evolution. Mega levels can be increased by Mega Evolving a Pokémon multiple times, and allow shorter rest periods and increased Mega Evolution Bonuses.
