-For Mega Evolution, including Mega Rayquaza, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon must be present on the battlefield for the damage bonuses to be active. For Primal Reversion, the Primal form only needs to be present in the party; the damage bonuses are active even if the Primal form Pokémon is never sent out, or is fainted and unable to battle.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/11mp7dr/primal_boost_remains_active_even_though_the/ Primal Boost remains active even though The Primal Reversion Pokemon is NOT in battle]</ref>
+Mega Evolution typically requires the Mega-Evolved Pokémon to be present on the battlefield for the damage bonuses to be active. For Primal Reversion and Mega Rayquaza, they only need to be present within the party that has any member on the battlefield; the damage bonuses are active even if the transformed Pokémon is never sent out or has fainted.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/11mp7dr/primal_boost_remains_active_even_though_the/ Primal Boost remains active even though The Primal Reversion Pokemon is NOT in battle]</ref>
+Multiple players can use Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion in the same battle, but the damage bonuses will not stack. Each attack only will receive the highest applicable damage bonus.

+Note that the damage bonus is not applied to the user or, for Primal Reversion and Mega Rayquaza, its own party. However, if multiple players use Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion, they can boost each other.
+===Catching Pokémon===
 Outside of battle, special bonuses are applied for catching Pokémon that have at least one of the Mega Evolution's or Primal Reversion's boosted types:
-* Bonus {{OBP|Candy|GO}} from catching (also applied to any Pokémon caught from a raid)
+* Bonus {{OBP|Candy|GO}}
-* Increased chance of Candy XL from catching (unlocked at High level)
+** This bonus also applies to any Pokémon caught from a raid, regardless of type
-** The chance increase is a flat rate, depending on Mega Level, added to success rate of each weighted coin toss for a Candy XL.
+* Increased chance of Candy XL (unlocked at High level)
-* Bonus XP from catching (unlocked at High level)
+** This is a flat rate, depending on Mega Level, added to the success rate for each possible Candy XL.
+* Bonus XP (unlocked at High level)
-Once a Pokémon's Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion is registered to the [[Pokédex]], walking any [[Buddy Pokémon]] that belongs to its evolutionary family will also yield its respective Mega Energy or Primal Energy whenever it finds {{OBP|Candy|GO}} (at 5 Energy per km). Energy can be found this way regardless of whether there is a Mega Evolution or Primal Reversion active.
