More mega moments! Additional Charged Attacks and Mega Mewtwo Adventure Effects debut during Mega Finale!
Mega Evolution is getting new battle options during Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Mega Finale. Eligible Mega-Evolved Pokémon can now use an additional Charged Attack, and Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y are gaining unique Adventure Effects that can help in raids and while exploring.
Additional Charged Attacks
Beginning now, Pokémon that can reach Super Max Level will have an additional Charged Attack while Mega Evolved.
- Eligible Pokémon will know their additional Charged Attack while Mega Evolved, regardless of their current Mega Level.
- The attack’s power will increase as the Pokémon’s Mega Level increases.
- More Pokémon will gain an additional Charged Attack as they become eligible to reach Super Max Level.
- Additional Charged Attacks can be used in the GO Battle League.
- Additional Charged Attacks cannot currently be used when battling Pokémon defending a Gym.
Mega Mewtwo’s New Charged Attacks
Mewtwo will know a different additional Charged Attack depending on which Mega Evolution it takes.
Mega Mewtwo X
Mega Mewtwo Y
Adventure Effects for Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y
Mewtwo will unlock a unique Adventure Effect when it first learns Dynamic Punch+ or Future Sight+. Once an effect has been unlocked, Mewtwo can use it even while it is not Mega Evolved. Activating either effect requires Mega Energy and Mewtwo Candy.
Dynamic Punch+ Adventure Effect
Mega Mewtwo X’s Adventure Effect increases your Pokémon’s damage against Mega-Evolved Pokémon in Mega Raids and Super Mega Raids. During Super Mega Raids, it also allows you to break two shields at once instead of one.
Future Sight+ Adventure Effect
Mega Mewtwo Y’s Adventure Effect reveals encounters with Pokémon that will appraise as three-star or higher. While the effect is active, a high-stat Pokémon will glow when you enter its encounter.

Collecting Mega Energy and Increasing Mega Levels
Trainers can collect the most Mega Energy by defeating Mega-Evolved Pokémon in Mega Raids. You can also occasionally earn Mega Energy by walking with your Buddy Pokémon after you have previously Mega Evolved a Pokémon in that Buddy’s Evolutionary line.
Pokémon with X and Y Mega Evolutions require separate Mega Energy for each form. For example, Charizard Mega Energy X is needed to Mega Evolve Charizard into Mega Charizard X.
After a Pokémon has Mega Evolved for the first time, it may be Mega Evolved again without using Mega Energy. A Pokémon’s Mega Level can be increased in two ways:
- Mega Evolve that Pokémon multiple times.
- Use a significant amount of Mega Energy to increase its Mega Level instantly.
