Can you Primal Revert and Mega Evolve?

The answer to the question of whether you can Primal Revert and Mega Evolve is no, as Trainers can only have one Primal or Mega-Evolved Pokémon active at a time, meaning that if your Pokémon undergoes Primal Reversion or Mega Evolves while another Pokémon is in Primal form or Mega-Evolved, the first Pokémon will turn back into its regular form. This rule applies universally, making it impossible to simultaneously have a Primal and a Mega-Evolved Pokémon, thus limiting the strategic combinations that can be employed in battles.
