Pokémon GO
Pokémon GO has announced a new change in Mega Evolutions coming with GO Tour, including a new kind of Raid Battle, Super Mega Raids
Super Mega Raids will require you to work with at least 7 other trainers to take on Mega Evolved Pokémon. You will use Link Charges to enter Mega Raids and Sper Mega Raids and you can make your Pokémon reach a new Mega level: Super Max
Super Mega Raids, akin to Shadow Raids, have a feature where the opponent becomes enraged and puts up shields. Each trainer can only take down one shield. If they become enrgaged, your Mega Evolved Pokémon will be sent ut to break the shield. Once enough shields are broken, the Pokémon will return to normal
A new map will be available to help you find Super Mega Raids
Link Charges will be available to enter Mega Raids and Super Mega Raids. Locally, you can use Link Charges or a Premium Battle Pass to enter, but if you're joining a Super Mega Raid remotely, you will need both Link Charges and a Remote Raid Pass to join.
Link Charges are collected using the new Link Holder and you can only hold a certain amount at any time. They are obtained by completing in weekly challenges, opening gifts and checking into Community Meetups. They can also be purchased in the in-game store.
The Super Max Level for Mega Evolution will increase a Pokémon's Combat Power, greatly increase the Catch Candy, Experience and Candy XL chance for catching of the same type as the Mega Evolved and the rest period reduces to 24 hours
To reach Super Max Level, you need to use Mega Energy to make it reach the level
