The major criticism fans had of Mega Evolutions in Pokemon GO was the grinding it took to Mega Evolve a particular Pokemon. Players would have to acquire and spend a new consumable known as Mega Energy to pull off a Mega Evolution. The initial energy cost for evolving is substantial, with Pokemon GO often pushing players to compete in Mega Raids in order to acquire more Mega Energy. These raids required work from multiple players though, which to many wasn’t worth the reward....
