Mega evolution was introduced in Pokemon X and Y as a new gimmick for fans to pursue, with many truly enjoying the in-game process. However, recent news indicates that Pokemon Sword and Shield won't have mega evolution, but a new mobile game will. Mega evolution is possible in Pokemon Masters, a new game out from DeNA, but of course, only certain pokemon can be mega evolved in certain scenarios.

In Pokemon Masters, the core concept works the same. Pokemon can mega evolve in the middle of a match, temporarily achieving higher stats, a new move, and new passive skills, but will revert back once it's all over. Here are the Sync Pairs that can currently mega evolve in-game: Karen and Houndoom, Agatha and Gengar, Bugsy and Beedrill, Korrina and Lucario, and Blue and Pidgeot.

How to Mega Evolve in Pokemon Masters

A pokemon that can mega evolve will do so when a Sync Move is complete, but this is a process, taking up 9 moves before it can be done. However, once this is done, the Mega-evolved Pokemon will retain the form through the rest of the Pokemon Masters battle. This isn't the only thing the Sync Move does.

When a Sync Pair that can mega evolve completes a Sync Move and that Pokemon mega evolves, it will also unleash a new, powerful attack on the opposition. Proper use of this skill will likely lead to many high-intensity battles in Pokemon Masters, especially considering that one Sync Pair, Blue and his Pidgeot, are currently the main figure for the first major Pokemon Masters event. It is set to begin September 2 and run through the 29th of that month.

It'll be interesting to see how Pokemon Masters compares to Pokemon GO. It hasn't had the explosive launch onto the scene that the latter had, but it offers a ton of cool content and mechanics related to the Pokemon franchise, which is the #1 highest gross media franchise of all time.

Pokemon Masters is available on Android and iOS mobile devices.
