In the lead-up to Legends: Z-A\u2019s release, Pok\u00e9mon is focusing all of its energy on Mega Evolutions, hyping up the alternate forms from gen six across the franchise. This includes Pok\u00e9mon Go, where, as part of the Tales of Transformation season, Mega Sharpedo is making its debut in Mega Raids around the world.<\/p>\n
While this isn\u2019t the first time that Mega Evolution has appeared in Pok\u00e9mon Go, the free mobile game doesn\u2019t yet feature the complete roster. Sharpedo, the gen 3 Pok\u00e9mon, is one of those creatures whose Mega Evolutions were left to the wayside in previous events, but now it\u2019s ready to shine. Mega Sharpedo first appeared in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the 3DS game remakes of the Hoenn region, which gave plenty of old favorites new forms.<\/p>\n
Not only is this Mega Sharpedo\u2019s first time appearing in Pok\u00e9mon Go, but you also have the chance to encounter its shiny form, which is a beautiful pink color. We\u2019ll have to wait and see just how well the dark and water Pok\u00e9mon performs in battle, but its dual-typing gives it access to water, dark, and poison moves. Unfortunately, it\u2019s weak to quite a few types, so keep that in mind when bringing it along with you.<\/p>\n
