A new pokédex function will let you keep track of which pokémon youve Mega Evolved in the past. You will not need as much energy to do so again in the future when youve Mega Evolved a particular pokémon a single time.
In Pokémon Go, Mega Evolution is handled with a brand-new resource called Mega Energy that is made by fighting Mega-Evolved pokémon in raids.
