How to get Mega Pidgeot

In order to get Mega Pidgeot, you will need 100 Mega Energy for the initial evolution.

You cannot catch Mega Pidgeot in its Mega form. After the raid, you’ll encounter a regular Pidgeot, and the following CP values apply to the base form:

  • 1151 – 1216 CP (Level 20, no weather boost)
  • 1439 – 1521 CP (Level 25, boosted by Partly Cloudy or Windy weather)

Once you Mega Evolve a Pokémon for the first time, Mega Energy will no longer be required for that specific Pokémon to Mega Evolve again. Instead, the Pokémon will become exhausted after its Mega Evolution and need to rest before being Mega Evolved again. In other words, there is now a cooldown period after you Mega Evolve a Pokémon.

You can level up your Mega Pokémon in order to decrease this cooldown period. You can use more energy to end the cooldown period early.
