Features
How this event works
Starting with the Fall Marathon: Buddy Trek event, you’ll be able to increase Mega Manectric’s Mega Level all the way up to Super Max Level for the first time in Pokémon GO! Learn more here. Manectric will now be able to use an additional Charged Attack, Discharge+, when it’s Mega Evolved. Trainer Battles: 50 power Raid Battles: 150 power The power of this attack will increase with the Pokémon’s Mega Level! Remember: You must increase a Pokémon’s Mega Level to the third level, Max, before you can increase it to Super Max. To help your Pokémon reach Super Max Level, Mega Evolving alone won’t be enough—you’ll need to use that Pokémon’s Mega Energy to power it up!
