To evolve into the Mega form this requires Mega Energy which is obtained by raiding against Mega Pokemon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first time you evolve a Pokemon into its Mega form the energy requirements will be high. Any subsequent Mega Evolutions will have a discounted cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mega forms typically have much stronger stats than the standard forms and boost all Pokemon when used in a raid. Pokemon using moves of the same type as the mega evolved form also are further boosted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting the Mega Pokemon API<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This API returns all possible Mega Pokemon, their stats, typing, and ultra candy needed to evolve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GET <code>\/api\/v1\/mega_pokemon.json<\/code><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This return an array of dicts with the following keys:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><code>first_time_mega_energy_required<\/code> &#8211;
