A new form of evolution comes to Pokémon Go. Niantic releases an update to its popular augmented reality based game that introduces Mega Evolution. Thanks to this certain pokemons will be even more powerful. So be careful if you play and come across one of them.
Mega Evolution Pokemon
A matter of months ago, when this whole COVID-19 thing started, the company behind the development of Pokémon Go had to reinvent part of the game mechanics. They needed users to find new ways to play without having to leave the house. Something a priori complex, since part of the appeal of the game, in addition to the use of augmented reality, was "exploring" your area of residence or others in which you could find yourself for any other reason.
Niantic made it so, applied certain changes and kept its faithful playing and enjoying the title. Now that we are immersed in a "new normal" and the company can leave with relative peace of mind will release a new update that the most advanced players will like for what it will include, the Mega Evolution. A feature that has already been seen in some past installments of Pokémon for Nintendo consoles, although in the most recent titles it is not as such.
mega evolution It's like you can already imagine a new evolved form that certain pokemons will be able to adopt and that will make them much more powerful. To achieve this, in addition to having Beedrill, Blastoise, Charizard or Venusaur among others, what you are going to need is a new resource called Mega Energy. That will be the essential element to achieve that new state temporarily.

The interesting thing is that once you have managed to make one of your Pokemon mega evolve, the future times it does so will not need as much mega energy. So after a first effort, everything that comes after it will be more bearable and it will surely begin to offer new advantages and scenarios to the highest level players mainly.
Yes it is important to know that this Mega Evolution can be used in a restricted way. That is, you can fight in gyms, but not defend them. Also in training fights with friends, but no use in the Pokémon Go league at the moment.
Along with this Mega Evolution, available in the iOS and Android update scheduled for August 27, new events will also arrive starting in September and a new research plot that will require more details to find out what it offers and to what extent it will be interesting for those looking for something other than fighting against other trainers.
Paid subscription in Pokémon Go?
For the rest, along with these news about Mega Evolution and events, in the latest APK of the application certain references to a paid subscription service within Pokémon Go. Something that, by the way, had already been slightly rumored in the past.
What this paid subscription will offer or how it would work is something that is not known for sure. What's more, not everyone is equally convinced that it can mean a new way to access special and more exclusive content or just a code referring to the link that exists between the Pokémon Home application itself and the game.
Without falling into the trap of thinking that all this could be something "improvised" during these months of the pandemic, it is true that a payment service could mean extra income for a company that lives partly through events that are difficult right now. to celebrate the need to bring together many people from different countries even in one place. However, we will surely have more information soon.
