After waiting for so long, Mewtwo is making a comeback, but with a twist this time.

Mega Evolving Mewtwo in Pokemon GO Explained
Players can Mega Evolve Mewtwo in Pokemon GO into one of the forms: Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y. To Mega Evolve Mewtwo, you need Mega Mewtwo X or Y Evolution energy, depending on the Mega Form you want. Once you have a sufficient amount of energy, you can select your choice of Mewtwo and Mega Evolve it.
Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y are more powerful than any other Mega Evolutions, and they also require a lot more Mega Energy to Mega Evolve. Both Pokemon will debut in the Mega Mewtwo Super Mega Raids taking place during Pokemon GO Fest 2026 Global or in-person.
On top of that, every Mega Mewtwo caught during the Pokemon GO event will also have at least one Mega Level already unlocked and can be Mega Evolved without the initial energy cost.
How to Get Mega Evolution Energy for Mewtwo in Pokemon GO
Mega Mewtwo X energy and Mega Mewtwo Y energy are the two Mega Evolution energies that you need to Mega Evolve Mewtwo in Pokemon GO. These can be obtained by participating in Mega Mewtwo Super Mega Raids or by completing GO Fest Timed Research.
