Pokémon Go developer Niantic has now officially announced its overhaul of the Mega Evolution mechanic, which was previously leaked through datamined game files. As expected, the changes go a long way to answering fan criticism of the way Pokémon Go has handled Mega Evolution since it was introduced in August 2020 – in particular, adding the ability to re-Mega Evolve a creature without energy cost after it has been Mega Evolved once. Players in Australia and New Zealand can access the new system now, with a global rollout expected shortly. (The game’s next Mega Pokémon release is due this Friday,…
