'''Mega Energy''' (Japanese: '''メガエナジー''' ''Mega Energy'') is a type of currency introduced in [[Pokémon GO]] that is used to temporarily [[Mega Evolution (GO)|Mega Evolve]] certain species of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Similar to [[Candy]], each type of Mega Energy is specific to one evolutionary line. According to [[Professor Willow]], unlike with [[Mega Stone]]s, Mega Energies allow a Trainer to Mega Evolve Pokémon without needing a [[Key Stone]].

==In Pokémon GO==
Each eligible requires a specific amount of Mega Energies to Mega Evolve. After a Pokémon has Mega Evolved for the first time, the cost to Mega Evolve it again into the same form is reduced to 1/5 the original cost. This cost reduction is retained even if the Pokémon is later [[Trade (GO)|traded]].

For each species, a player can hold a maximum of 2,000 Mega Energies at a time{{tt|*|999 prior to October 15, 2020}}. Any Mega Energies earned beyond this limit will not be received.

===Acquisition===
Mega Energy is normally obtained by completing Mega Raids, [[Raid Battle]]s with Mega-Evolved Pokémon as [[Raid Battle#List of Raid Bosses|Raid Bosses]], which will reward Mega Energies specific to the Raid Boss that was defeated. The amount of Mega Energy rewarded ranges from 50 to 90, depending on how quickly the players completed the Mega Raid.

Mega Energy for various Pokémon may also be obtained for completing certain [[Field Research|Field]], [[Special Research|Special]], or [[Timed Research|Timed]] Research tasks.

Occasionally, spinning a [[PokéStop]] or {{OBP|Gym|GO}} may yield 5 Mega Beedrill Energies. However, the game will not display this among the rewarded items.

Since November 2020, Buddy Pokémon will also find Mega Energies whenever it Buddy Candy, if the player has previously Mega Evolved a Pokémon in that Buddy Pokémon’s Evolutionary line. The amount of Mega Energies found per Buddy Candy is directly proportional to Buddy distance, at a rate of {{Mega Energy}}5 per 1 km.

* 1 km — {{Mega Energy}}5
* 3 km — {{Mega Energy}}15
* 5 km — {{Mega Energy}}25
