Since the Pokémon GO Tour: Kalos in February, Mega Evolution has gained a fourth tier. Above Max Mega Level, there is now Super Max Level: much higher CP, a Mega available every day, better catch bonuses and, above all, an extra Charged Attack reserved for the Mega Evolved form. The latest Pokémon to benefit, Chandelure, made its debut in late October. It joins a list that keeps growing since the Mega Finale in September.

The catch is that you can’t reach this tier just by Mega Evolving your Pokémon every day. You need to spend a large amount of Mega Energy, a resource you only get in quantity by beating Mega Raids. With rotations that change every week and Super Mega Raid Days that last only three hours, it is impossible to power up everything. So one question arises: which Megas should you invest in first?

To answer it, PF went through the 19 Mega Evolutions that can reach Super Max Level. This feature first explains how the tier works and what it really costs. It then presents a transparent, numbers-based scoring method, the full ranking that results from it, the best pick for each attack type, our recommendations by budget and the November calendar to stock up on Mega Energy at the right time.
