What is Mega Mastery?

Mega Mastery is a new way to level up your Mega Evolutions quicker. Here are the changes being made to help you do this.

  • When you catch a Pokémon of the same type, you now have a chance to earn Candy XL.
  • You get extra experience when catching a Pokémon of the same type.
  • As a Pokémon's rest level decreases, its Mega Level will increase.

The more you use a Mega Evolution, the quicker that Pokémon's Mega Level will be increased. Each Pokémon has a chance to earn various bonuses when leveled up, like a higher chance to earn candy.

I start my day by exploring Teyvat in Genshin Impact and end it after reorganizing my apartment in Final Fantasy XIV. I am a diehard fan of N64 era games and will forever feel betrayed that Megaman Legends didn't finish. Outside of gaming, I have spend my time collecting manga, collecting anime figures, and watching anime with my naked cat.
