Trainers will be able to purchase and gift tickets to any of their Pokémon GO friends that they have achieved a Friendship level of Great Friends or higher with. Please note that purchases—including those made for other Trainers—are non-refundable (subject to applicable law and the exceptions set forth in the Terms of Service).

Camerupt was one of the few remaining Mega forms that hadn't yet been released… until recently. It has now been announced that Pokémon Legends: Z-A will release new Mega Evolutions, which will certainly appear in Pokémon GO in the future. These newly revealed Mega Evolutions include Victreebel, Dragonite, Chesnaught, Delphox, Greninja, Malamar, Hawlucha, Raichu Y, and Raichu X. It is likely that we will see more announced.
