Mega Evolution is about to make its debut in Pokémon Go and it looks like the first Pokémon on the list is going to be a Mega Beedrill.
In the “A Mega Discovery” Timed Research, players will be completing tasks to learn the basics of Mega Evolution and earn various items that will help them along that path.
