In the augmented reality world of Pokémon Go, Primal Reversion is a transformative mechanic exclusive to Groudon and Kyogre, echoing the feature’s origins in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
This process not only alters the Pokémon’s appearance but also enhances their abilities and combat prowess. To initiate Primal Reversion, trainers must gather Primal Energy, paralleling the resource management seen in Mega Evolutions, including similar costs, cooldowns, and leveling mechanisms.
Acquiring Primal Energy for Groudon and Kyogre
Since its debut at the Go Tour: Hoenn event in February 2023, Primal Energy has been obtainable primarily through Primal Raids and event-specific Research tasks. Primal Raids, akin to Mega Raids, stand apart from the standard five-star raid system and are infrequent occurrences. Trainers should seize these opportunities as they arise to defeat Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, thus securing Primal Energy.
Alternatively, Primal Energy can be earned by completing designated Research tasks. These tasks are typically rare outside of events spotlighting the Primal duo. For those without a raid-ready team, these tasks present the most accessible method to accumulate Primal Energy.
Optimizing Primal Energy Collection
For trainers aiming to amass Primal Energy swiftly, staying informed about the event calendar is crucial. In the absence of additional methods introduced by Niantic, the optimal strategy involves engaging in as many Primal Raids as possible and completing all Research tasks that reward Primal Energy. This approach ensures a sufficient reserve of Primal Energy, allowing multiple uses of Primal Reversion without depletion concerns.
