Can You Get Mega Energy in Pokémon GO Without Raids? (How to Get Mega Energy in Pokémon GO Without Raids)
Yes, you can get mega energy in Pokémon GO without raids. To do this, you could walk specific Pokémon, complete special tasks, or spin Poké stops and gyms.
Nothing causes me as much adrenaline as challenging Pokémon in battle, especially those that seem impossible to beat.
Besides the thrill of feeling like I am in a “David and Goliath” 💪situation, specific raids like the mega raid enable me to earn such rewards as mega energy. With mega energy, I can mega-evolve my Pokémon to powerful versions that help me conquer raid battles.
Interestingly, there are more ways 😏to earn mega energy besides mega raids. Join me as I explore these alternatives:
What is the Fastest Way to Get Mega Energy in Pokémon GO?
Successfully participating in mega raids🥷 is the fastest and most consistent option for getting mega energy.
In a mega raid battle, you will collaborate with a team of fellow trainers to collaboratively go against a mega-evolved Pokémon and defeat it.
A typical team will comprise 2 to 5 trainers. You can tell whether you are about to participate in a mega raid by spotting a unique silver egg🥚 dangling above the gym before the raid starts.
Upon successfully participating in a mega raid, you stand to receive roughly 150-250 mega energy.
Fortunately, you do not have to catch the mega evolved Pokémon to earn mega energy.
Moreover, the faster you defeat the Raid Boss, the more your mega energy earnings💰. Hence, it is crucial to plan your team lineup carefully to increase the chances of defeating the Raid Boss fast enough to maximize mega energy earnings.
There are instances where you could get enough mega energy from one successful mega raid to mega evolve your Pokémon.
How Do You Get Free Mega Energy in Pokémon GO?
There are multiple means of earning free mega energy. The first and simplest of these is walking 🚶♂️your buddy Pokémon.
The most important thing to consider with this option is you must choose the Pokémon whose species is identical to that of a Pokémon you mega evolved.
As you walk the Pokémon, feed it some candy. The mega energy you stand to get varies directly depending on the distance you cover during the walk.
Another free option (and the fastest) is defeating a mega-evolved Pokémon in a mega raid🥷. Since this is the fastest option, it would be wise to determine how much mega energy you need to mega-evolve a given Pokémon and then plan on how many raids you need to win.
The table below shows the possible Pokémon mega evolutions on Pokémon GO and their HP, attack, and defense stats.
Other free options include spinning gyms/Poké stops and completing special tasks. However, not all research tasks will earn you mega energy.

How Do You Mega Evolve in Pokémon GO without Raids?
Besides successfully executing mega raids, you can earn mega energy to facilitate mega evolution by completing tasks and walking Pokémon.
You may be assigned special tasks and field research and timed⏲️ research tasks. Examples of these are mythical discoveries and Let’s GO, Meltan.
Completing these tasks earns you multiple rewards, including mega energy. There is no guarantee that completing these tasks will earn you mega energy as they often change.
Another free option for earning mega energy to mega evolve is walking 🚶♂️your Pokémon if it belongs to the same species or family as a Pokémon you mega-evolved before. Once you walk the selected Pokémon, you will receive mega energy.
Another free option is to spin a gym or a Pokéstop. That earns you five mega Beedrill energy.
Can You Get Mega Energy for a Pokémon You Have Not Mega Evolved?
Yes, you can get mega energy for a Pokémon that you have not mega-evolved. You can do this by walking with your Pokémon.
However, the Pokémon you are walking must be of the same family as that of another Pokémon you have already mega-evolved.
Consider the example of the Venusaur Pokémon. Suppose you already mega-evolved a Venusaur Pokémon.
If you want to mega evolve another Pokémon, you can walk with another Venosaur or a Bulbasaur.
Since both these Pokémon are of the same family as the Pokémon you already mega evolved, walking them will earn you mega energy🔥 to use for the former’s mega evolution.
