Primal Energy in Pokemon Go is a resource that can be used to make the most of Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon’s full power. Here’s how to get more Primal Energy.
Introduced in the remakes of Ruby and Sapphire,Primal Reversionis a special transformation that only two Pokemon, Groudon and Kyogre, can undergo. Within the lore, it’s said to restore the Pokemon to its full, ancient power, functioning somewhat like Mega Evolution.
If you’ve been lucky enough to catch a Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, or both, here’s what you need to know about obtaining more Primal Energy so you can make the most of their awesome power.
How to get more Primal Energy for Groudon and Kyogre in Pokemon Go
There arethree ways to get additional Primal Energy in Pokemon Go. They are as follows:
Note that, just like withMega Energy for Mega Evolution, Primal Energy is species-specific, so you can’t use Kyogre’s Primal Energy on Groudon and vice versa.
Defeating Primal Pokemon is the most straightforward way to get more Primal Energy. Doing so will get you80-100 Primal Energy each time. However, on top of being challenging, these Raids are limited by Pokemon Go’s event schedule.
The only consistently repeatable method for getting Primal Energy in Pokemon Go is to haveGroudon or Kyogre undergo Primal Reversion at least once, then walk around with them as your Buddy. This will take some time, as you’ll get100 Primal Energy per 20km.
That last method may be a bit of a grind, but it is the only way to gain additional Primal Energy regardless of what’s going on in Pokemon Go.
