The upcoming Mega Evolution feature is set to launch soon. Here's what we know so far:

• Mega Evolution will be temporary and you can only have one Mega Evolved Pokémon at a time
• Mega Evolution will require species specific Mega Energy from Mega Raids (a unique Raid Tier)
• The Pokémon caught from a Mega Raid will be that Pokémon's normal form.
• After you've unlocked a Pokémon's Mega Evolution, the Mega Evolution cost will be reduced the next time you mega evolve that Pokémon.
• There will be a Mega section in the PokéDex to track your Megas.
• Mega Pokémon will boost the attack power of all other Pokémon battling in raids. Pokémon with the same type will receive an even greater attack boost.
• Mega Pokémon cannot be used as Gym Defenders.
• At launch, Mega Pokémon cannot be used in GO Battle League.
• Shadow and Clone Pokémon cannot be Mega Evolved.
• Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise will be available at launch and be available to challenge in Mega Raids.
• Mega Beedrill will bee also available through a new Special Research, 'A Mega Discovery'.

Along with the Mega Evolution Feature, there are some updates to raids:

• 2-Star and 4-Star Raids will be removed
• 1-Star raids will have 2-Star raid rewards, and 3-Star Raids will have 4-star raid rewards.
• The goal here is to make it easier to find desirable raids
• The Team Damage Bonus will be removed and replaced with a speed bonus that will grant more rewards the faster you and your fellow raiders complete a raid.
• Raids will consist of 1-Star, 3-Star, 5-Star, and Mega Raids
