Mega Evolving a Pokémon for the first time costs a large amount of Mega Energies specific to that species. That Pokémon will then remain Mega Evolved for eight hours. Once a Pokémon's Mega Evolution expires, it will enter a rest period. During the rest period, the Pokémon can Mega Evolve again, but at a fraction of the Mega Energy cost required the first time. As the rest period counts down, the Mega Energy cost will gradually decrease. And once the rest period has ended, then the Pokémon can Mega Evolve at no cost. | Mega Evolving a Pokémon for the first time costs a large amount of Mega Energies specific to that species.
