What is the Difference Between Normal and Mega Pokémon?
The main difference between normal and Mega Pokémon is that Mega Evolution is a temporary process that increases a Pokémon’s CP, typically lasting for eight hours, and can also change the Pokémon’s type, which is crucial to consider when planning a Mega Raid Battle lineup. This temporary transformation makes Mega Pokémon stronger and provides certain bonuses that remain active while the Pokémon is Mega Evolved, which can be a game-changer in battles.
Understanding Mega Evolution
Mega Evolution is a process that allows certain Pokémon to temporarily transform into a more powerful form, known as Mega Pokémon. This transformation can be achieved by using Mega Energy, which is required to initiate the Mega Evolution process.
