There will be a complete overhaul to the Pokémon Go Mega Evolutions in the near future, with the mobile game often being ridiculed for its mega system in the past, so a change such as this would be a welcome one. The news comes from several recent data mines of in-game files, so make of that as you want, but the sources are adamant that this is the course of future action.
The way Pokémon Go has handled Mega Evolutions since they were released in 2020 has been somewhat questionable. That’s not to say that it hasn’t improved over the 2 years, but there is still a lot of work to be done and a lot more Pokémon Mega’s to be released. Check out the original release video below for that nostalgic love.

What are these Pokémon Go Mega Evolution changes?
Although they’re not completely confirmed by Niantic yet, these upcoming Pokémon Go Mega Evolution changes will involve addressing the current problems that users face with the mobile game, including making them more available for regular daily use. For those of you that know about the current system, in Pokémon Go, you must acquire and spend specific Mega Energy resources in the shape of special stones. The initial cost is relatively large, and they are needed to help with specific Mega Raids as well, so it’s not ideal.
This has been met with a considerable fan backlash because it means you must always keep these Mega Stones topped up – a trickier task than first meets the eye – and the opportunity to collect these resources is few and far between. The rumors are that a new method involving a leveling system will be available for these Mega Pokémon, similar to the one used with your friends.
The leveling system will play into a new free Mega Evolution option that allows you to Mega Evolve a Pokémon you have previously Mega Evolved without the cost… now and then. So, the higher your friendship, the easier it will be to Mega Evolve, in theory anyway. There will also be some more changes to the Pokémon Go Mega Evolution, with the addition of certain perks and bonuses coming into action. So, if you are one of the people still playing this mobile game, then you should be delighted by this news. Keep an eye out for when it comes into play.
