Pokémon Debut

Bramblin, the Tumbleweed Pokémon, will make its Pokémon GO debut!

You may encounter Bramblin through GO Pass tasks, Incense, and event-themed Field Research.

You can evolve Bramblin into Brambleghast using 50 Bramblin Candy after walking 20 km with Bramblin as your buddy.

Mega Manectric

Mega Manectric can reach Super Max Level and gains access to the new Charged Attack Discharge+.

• 
  
  Mega Manectric

Discharge+

Manectric gains access to this additional Charged Attack while Mega Evolved.

• Trainer Battles: 50 power
• Raid Battles: 150 power

The attack becomes stronger as the Pokémon’s Mega Level increases.

To reach Super Max Level, first raise Manectric to Mega Level 3 (Max). Mega Evolving alone is not enough to progress to Super Max; you must also use Manectric Mega Energy to power it up.
