Primal regression of Groudon and Kyogre in Pokémon GO: how it is activated and all the details
According to the information shared by Niantic on the official website of Pokémon GO, Groudon and Kyogre’s Primal Regression works exactly the same as Mega Evolutions. That is to say, Before we can activate this mode of each Pokémon, we must collect enough Primal Energy completing Research Tasks, participating in events, or defeating these Pokémon in Primal Raids.
As with Mega Evolutions, Groudon and Kyogre will remain in the Primal Regression state for a total of eight continuous hours each time we transform them. Besides, with each Primal Regression performed, the total Primal Energy required for a new Primal Regression will be reduced and various bonuses will also be applied. Same as with Mega Evolutions, wow. And as such, the Mega category of the PokéDex will be updated to include the Primal versions of Groudon and Kyogre.
