Full A Mega Discovery Special Research Questline For Pokémon GO

Mega Evolution has been introduced into Pokémon GO this afternoon. Currently, the Energy to evolve your Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur up can be obtained from battling and defeating those Pokémon in Mega Raids. Beedrill is also currently able to be Mega Evolved, though, and its Energy is obtainable through a Special Research quest called A Mega Discovery. The full questline is four pages long and will reward enough Mega Energy to evolve your Beedrill multiple times.

With Beedrill not currently in Mega Raids, the Mega Discover research is the only way to obtain Mega Beedrill. This Evolution is a temporary power-up, but it will be very useful when raiding with other players using Bug-type Pokémon. Bringing a Mega Beedrill into a raid will boost the attack of all other Bug-types that every trainer raiding is using, which will be especially effective when battling Pokémon weak to Bug-type attacks, especially Psychic-type and Dark-type Pokémon. Players may want to conserve Mega Beedrill Energy for the release of the Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon Cresselia, who will take over Tier Five raids from Heatran in September.
