The long-awaited mega evolution is coming to the augmented reality mobile game Pokemon Go. The information was revealed yesterday during a stream by The Pokémon Company. The evolution will take place with similar mechanics to the main Pokemon games, but at the same time, according to Tsunekazu Ishihara, CEO of The Pokemon Company, there will be an enhancement to utilize Pokemon Go's unique gameplay.
Mega evolution in main Pokemon games happens temporarily during battles. The first time this type of evolution appeared was in the sixth generation of Pokemon games. Altogether there are 46 pokemons capable of performing the mega evolution (mega evolution).
It is not yet known which specific pokemons will be able to perform the mega evolution in Pokemon Go for now. To carry out the mega evolution, at least in the main Pokemon games, it is necessary to use a stone, but nothing was said about this detail during the announcement.
There is no exact date for the debut of the mega evolutions, but it is certain that it will take place later this year.
