 Professor Willow dialogue
1st Part

* Hello there, **TRAINER**!
* I have something exciting planned for you today—you could even say it’s a mega surprise! Haha!
* But nothing’s happened yet, so you just focus on having fun with your friends and your Pokémon!
* I still have a few loose ends to wrap up, though.
* While I finish my preparations, how about you take a quick survey of the area and see what Pokémon are out and about today?
* I’ll be ready by the time you’re back.

2nd Part

* Ah, good—you’re back. I’ve just finished getting everything ready.
* Have you tried to Mega Evolve a Pokémon lately?
* Something about Mega Evolution caught my attention recently, so I was hoping you could help me investigate.
* Let’s take a closer look at Mega Evolution, from beginning to end.
* First, let’s choose which of these Pokémon you’d like to be the star of our research, **TRAINER**!
* Once we’re done, our understanding of Mega Evolution will be second to none.

***Venusaur:***

* So, you’ve chosen Venusaur, the Seed Pokémon!
* Venusaur absorbs solar energy as nutrition. By spreading the broad petals of its flower and catching the sun’s rays, it fills its body with power.
* While I fetch Venusaur, how about you go out and catch a few Pokémon as a warm-up. Don’t forget to power them up, too.
* You’ll have an even more formidable team by your side in no time!

***Charizard:***

* So, you’ve chosen Charizard, the Flame Pokémon!
* Its bond with its Trainer is the source of its power. It boasts speed and maneuverability greater than that of a jet fighter.
* While I fetch Charizard, how about you go out and catch a few Pokémon as a warm-up. Don’t forget to power them up, too.
* You’ll have an even more formidable team by your side in no time!

***Blastoise:***

* So, you’ve chosen Blastoise, the Shellfish Pokémon!
* The jets of water it spouts from the rocket cannons on its shell can punch through thick steel.
* While I fetch Blastoise, how about you go out and catch a few Pokémon as a warm-up. Don’t forget to power them up, too.
* You’ll have an even more formidable team by your side in no time!

3rd Part

* Welcome back, **TRAINER**! Now that we’re fully warmed up, let’s tuck into our research on Mega Evolution.
* Some theorize that a strong bond between a Trainer and a Pokémon is the key to Mega Evolution. We’ve also seen that Mega Energy can play a role.
* However, I noticed recently that if you Mega Evolve your Pokémon once using Mega Energy, you won’t need to use Mega Energy to Mega Evolve that Pokémon again.
* Let’s Mega Evolve Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise and see if that’s true for ourselves, **TRAINER**!

4th Part

***Venusaur:***

* What a magnificent Mega Venusaur, **TRAINER**!

***Charizard:***

* What a commanding Mega Charizard, **TRAINER**!

***Blastoise:***

* What a brilliant Mega Blastoise, **TRAINER**!
* Let’s keep growing: why don’t you take on a Raid Battle with your mighty Mega Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise? There may even be a Team GO Rocket Grunt lurking about, looking for a battle.
* Mega-Evolved Pokémon are powerful allies. Their strength in battle is unmatched!
* I’m sure there’s more to learn about Mega Evolution, so why stop now? Let’s GO!

## Trivia

* The Kangaskhan Raid Day was mistakenly made to have more stamina and a 6-hour timer in some early timezones. This was fixed later.
* During the event, all Mega Evolutions have their CP boosted to level 50 plus the Best Buddy bonus, regardless of Pokémon or trainer level.
