The Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List is considerably bigger in 2026, with 61 released Mega-Evolved forms following Mega Staraptor’s September 19 debut, plus more upgrades on the way. Mega Evolution has grown from a temporary raid boost into one of Pokémon GO’s biggest progression systems, covering regular Mega Raids, Super Mega Raids, Mega Levels, the new Super Max level and even additional Charged Attacks for selected Pokémon.
Some of the biggest additions in 2026 include Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Dragonite, Mega Victreebel, Mega Malamar, Mega Falinks, Mega Skarmory, Mega Starmie, Mega Raichu X and Y, plus the Kalos starters Mega Chesnaught, Mega Delphox and Mega Greninja. Mega Staraptor joined the roster on September 19. Mega Manectric gained Super Max eligibility on October 13 during Fall Marathon: Buddy Trek. Mega Chandelure debuted on October 31, with Ominous Wind+ and Super Max eligibility from launch, while Mega Sableye’s Super Max upgrade follows on November 1.

That is a dramatically different Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List from even the start of 2026. Several of the newer forms originate from Pokémon Legends: Z-A and its Mega Dimension content, with Pokémon GO now steadily introducing them through dedicated Mega and Super Mega Raid events.
Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List: Newest Released Forms
The newest additions deserve particular attention because 2026 has effectively started a second wave of Mega Evolution releases.
Mega Skarmory debuted through Super Mega Raid Day on June 27, followed by Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y on July 18. Mega Starmie arrived on August 22, while Mega Chesnaught, Mega Delphox and Mega Greninja became available around Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Mega Finale.
Mega Mewtwo X and Y also took centre stage during Mega Finale and now have their own enhanced Charged Attacks and Adventure Effects.
Mega Mewtwo X can use Dynamic Punch+, while Mega Mewtwo Y can use Future Sight+. Once unlocked, those moves also power unique Adventure Effects outside Mega Evolution.
Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List: Latest Mega and Next Super Max
The newest released Mega form on the Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List is Mega Chandelure, which also gained Super Max eligibility at launch. Mega Manectric’s Super Max upgrade arrived on October 13. Mega Chandelure debuted on October 31 with Super Max eligibility and Ominous Wind+; Mega Sableye’s Super Max upgrade follows on November 1.
Mega Staraptor debuted during Staraptor Super Mega Raid Day on Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. local time.
The event introduced Mega Staraptor through Super Mega Raids, with Staraptor caught from those raids receiving Mega Level 1 unlocked. Mega Staraptor also became eligible for Super Max progression and the additional Charged Attack Brave Bird+ while Mega Evolved.
With Mega Staraptor released, the Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List contains 61 released Mega forms. Mega Manectric’s October 13 and Mega Sableye’s November 1 Super Max upgrades don’t add new Mega forms. Mega Chandelure debuted on October 31 and is now included in the 61 released Mega forms.
Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List: Mega Chandelure on October 31
Mega Chandelure debuted on Saturday, October 31, 2026, from 2pm to 5pm local time, through Chandelure Super Mega Raid Day. Chandelure caught from these Super Mega Raids has Mega Level 1 unlocked, and Mega Chandelure can progress to Super Max after reaching Max and spending additional Chandelure Mega Energy. The new additional Charged Attack Ominous Wind+ has 50 power in Trainer Battles and 145 in raids at its announced base value.
Trainers can use Ominous Wind+ while Mega Evolved without first completing Super Max. A worldwide challenge from October 30 to 31 unlocks potential Ominous Wind+ and Super Max CP bonuses for November 2 to 15. For the event’s free Raid Passes, Shiny chance and research, see the Chandelure Super Mega Raid Day guide. The Mega Chandelure Super Max guide covers the upgrade requirements and damage bonuses. Full details are in Pokémon GO’s official announcement.

These Pokémon are absolutely worth watching, but there is an important difference between an official Mega Evolution existing in the Pokémon franchise and it being confirmed for Pokémon GO. Mega Chandelure has now left the upcoming list following its October 31 debut. The other unreleased Mega forms in the table have no confirmed Pokémon GO release date.
That distinction matters particularly for Mega Absol Z, Mega Garchomp Z and Mega Lucario Z. Their Pokémon GO data can already be found by community databases, but they are still marked unreleased and should not be listed alongside the playable Megas yet.
Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List: How Mega Evolution Works
The Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List is not a permanent evolution tree. When you Mega Evolve an eligible Pokémon, it temporarily changes into its Mega form.
The first Mega Evolution normally requires species-specific Mega Energy. After a Pokémon has Mega Evolved once, it can Mega Evolve again for free after its cooldown expires. Mega Energy can be spent to bypass that cooldown.
Mega Energy is mainly obtained from Mega Raids and Super Mega Raids, although certain research rewards can also provide it. Once you have previously Mega Evolved a Pokémon from an evolutionary family, walking that family as your Buddy can also generate Mega Energy.
One especially important 2026 change concerns X and Y Mega forms. Pokémon such as Charizard, Mewtwo and Raichu now use separate Mega Energy for their X and Y evolutions rather than one shared pool.
Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List: Mega Levels and Super Max
The Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List also reflects how much Mega progression has changed since the feature first launched.
A Pokémon progresses through Base, High and Max Mega Levels by Mega Evolving repeatedly. Higher levels reduce the free-Mega cooldown and improve the bonuses you receive for catching Pokémon that share a type with your active Mega.
Those bonuses can include extra Candy, extra Candy XL chance and additional catch XP.
The newest level covered by the Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List is Super Max, a fourth Mega Level that only selected Mega Pokémon can currently reach. Unlike the older Mega Levels, simply Mega Evolving repeatedly is not enough to finish Super Max progression; Mega Energy is also needed to power the Pokémon beyond Max.
At Super Max, the bonuses become substantially stronger and the free Mega Evolution cooldown can fall to just 24 hours.
Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List: Super Max Eligible Pokémon
Super Max is being rolled out gradually rather than added to the entire Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List at once.
Current Super Max-compatible Megas include Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Chesnaught, Mega Delphox, Mega Greninja, Mega Raichu X, Mega Raichu Y, Mega Skarmory, Mega Falinks, Mega Starmie, Mega Victreebel, Mega Malamar, Mega Dragonite, Mega Beedrill, Mega Houndoom, Mega Staraptor and Mega Manectric, which became eligible on October 13, 2026. Mega Sableye is scheduled to join on November 1, 2026 during Halloween Part II.
Mega Manectric’s October 13 Super Max upgrade also adds the Charged Attack Discharge+ while it is Mega Evolved. Discharge+ has 50 base power in Trainer Battles and 150 base power in raids, with its power increasing with Manectric’s Mega Level. The additional attack is available while Mega Evolved, even before the individual Pokémon reaches Super Max.
To unlock Super Max on a Manectric, first raise that individual Pokémon to Max Mega Level, then spend additional Manectric Mega Energy to power it up. The Fall Marathon: Buddy Trek event runs October 13 to 19, with Manectric Mega Energy available through Field Research and an enhanced Buddy energy bonus from GO Pass Rank 20. See our Mega Manectric Super Max unlock guide for the full progression route and Pokémon GO’s official Fall Marathon announcement for the event requirements.
Eligible Pokémon also receive an additional Charged Attack while Mega Evolved, even before reaching Super Max. From November 1, Mega Sableye can use Night Shade+ (55 power in Trainer Battles and 160 in raids, with power increasing by Mega Level). It must first reach Max Mega Level and then spend Sableye Mega Energy to progress to Super Max. Read the Halloween 2026 Part II announcement guide for the event timing. Pokémon GO’s official announcement confirms the details.
Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List: Do Primal Reversions Count?
No. The Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List excludes Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre because their transformations are Primal Reversions, not Mega Evolutions.
That is why they are not counted in the Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List above.
The same applies to Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon. Max Battles are a completely separate mechanic and a Gigantamax Pokémon should never be counted as a Mega Evolution just because both systems temporarily change a Pokémon’s appearance and power.
Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List: Can Shadow Pokémon Mega Evolve?
Shadow Pokémon cannot currently Mega Evolve, so they are not eligible for the Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List in their Shadow form.
If you have an excellent Shadow version of a Pokémon such as Tyranitar, Garchomp or Metagross, you cannot simply collect its Mega Energy and transform that Shadow Pokémon. You need an eligible non-Shadow Pokémon from the same species.
That makes it worth keeping good regular Pokémon even when their Shadow versions are stronger in other parts of Pokémon GO.
Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List: Which Are Worth Unlocking?
There is no single best Mega for everything because the bonuses depend heavily on typing, but some entries on the Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List have exceptional long-term value.
Mega Rayquaza, Mega Mewtwo X and Y, Mega Garchomp, Mega Tyranitar, Mega Lucario, Mega Metagross, Mega Gardevoir and Mega Blaziken are among the standouts for raid damage, while dual-type Megas can be particularly valuable during events because their active Mega bonus covers multiple Pokémon types.
For catching events, however, raw damage is often secondary. A Max or Super Max Mega matching the types of the Pokémon you are farming can be far more useful because of the Candy, Candy XL and XP bonuses.
That is why building a broad Mega collection is ultimately better than pouring every bit of Mega Energy into one monster.
Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List Will Keep Growing
The Pokémon GO Mega Evolutions List is no longer close to finished. The huge wave of newly discovered Mega Evolutions from Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Mega Dimension gives Pokémon GO years of potential debuts, and 2026 has shown that the game is willing to introduce those newer forms surprisingly quickly.
Mega Staraptor is next on September 19, while Mega Clefable, Mega Meganium, Mega Feraligatr, Mega Zeraora, Mega Baxcalibur, the three Z Mega forms and many more are still waiting.
With Super Mega Raids, Super Max progression and extra Charged Attacks now layered on top of the system, new Mega releases have become much more interesting than simply adding another entry to the Pokédex.
For the latest official changes to Mega Evolution, Pokémon GO’s current Mega update explains the new Super Max-compatible attacks, Mega Mewtwo mechanics and ways to collect Mega Energy.
