How Many Mega Pokémon Exist?
Mega Evolution is a fascinating phenomenon in the world of Pokémon, allowing certain Pokémon to transform into more powerful and evolved forms. But with the introduction of new game mechanics and the removal of Mega Evolution in the latest games, the question remains: how many Mega Pokémon exist?
Main Games Mega Evolutions
In the mainline Pokémon games, there are a total of 48 Mega Evolutions. These Mega Evolutions were introduced in the sixth generation of Pokémon, starting with Pokémon X and Y. Since then, more Mega Evolutions have been added to the list, making it a vast and diverse pool of Pokémon with incredible abilities.
Mega Evolutions Available in Pokémon Go
Pokémon Go, the popular mobile game, has introduced a new way to play with Mega Evolutions. However, the number of Mega Evolutions available in Pokémon Go is much lower than in the mainline games. Out of the 48 Mega Evolutions, only 37 are currently available in Pokémon Go. The remaining 11 Mega Evolutions are still missing in the game, leaving trainers eagerly waiting for their introduction.
Trainers and Mega Evolutions
Trainers can only have one Mega-Evolved Pokémon active at a time. This means that if a trainer Mega Evolves one Pokémon, they cannot use another Mega Evolved Pokémon in battle until the first one is sent back to its normal form.
Fighting and Mega Evolutions
Mega evolution has one rule that even Pikachu isn’t allowed to break: it can only be done by fully evolved Pokémon. This is why some Pokémon, like Pikachu, are not allowed to Mega Evolve. It’s also why Trainers must ensure that their Pokémon are fully evolved before attempting to Mega Evolve them.
Strongest Non-Legendary Mega Pokémon
So, what are the strongest non-legendary Mega Pokémon in the game? According to experts, the top five strongest non-legendary Mega Pokémon are:
- Garchomp
- Metagross
- Togekiss
- Aegislash
- Hydreigon
These powerful Pokémon are capable of delivering devastating attacks and can provide a significant advantage in battles.
Primal and Mega Pokémon
But what about Primal Pokémon, like Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre? These ancient Pokémon are even more powerful than their Mega Evolutions. In fact, according to experts, Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre are waaaaaay stronger than Arceus. They have a whopping 770 BST (Base Stat Total) compared to Arceus’s 720. Mega Rayquaza and both Mega Mewtwos have 780 BST, but these Primal Pokémon remain unmatched in terms of raw power.
Ash’s Best Mega Pokémon
Which Mega Pokémon is Ash Ketchum’s best, you ask? According to Pokémon fans, Ash’s Charizard is undoubtedly one of Ash’s most powerful Pokémon ever. Charizard gained the ability to Mega Evolve, making it one of the most powerful and battle-tested Pokémon in the world.
In conclusion, the number of Mega Pokémon exists is quite extensive, with 48 Mega Evolutions in the mainline games. However, the number is much lower in Pokémon Go, with only 37 Mega Evolutions available. Trainers must be strategic in their use of Mega Evolutions, knowing that they can only have one active at a time. The strongest non-legendary Mega Pokémon can be found in the likes of Garchomp, Metagross, Togekiss, Aegislash, and Hydreigon. Meanwhile, Primal Pokémon, like Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, remain some of the most powerful in the game.
