Make use of these powerful buffs, so long as you have the right Pokémon

Mega Mewtwo Y, Crowned Sword Zacian, and Dawn Mane Necrozma

Adventure Effects are unique buffs that some legendary Pokémon can offer in Pokémon Go. These effects usually cost Stardust and some candy to activate, but will provide some kind of perk in or out of battle for a set amount of time.

So far, Adventure Effects are limited to special types of legendary Pokémon — usually ones with unique forms. (Though... Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon really got shafted by being released before Adventure Effects were a thing, huh?) These also usually debut during a big event, like a yearly Go Fest, making them somewhat rare and valuable.

Below we list the various Adventure Effects in Pokémon Go, alongside what they do, and what you need to do to unlock them.

Complete list of Adventure Effects in Pokémon Go

Some Adventure Effects require you to have a specific form, whereas some others may require the Pokémon to know a specific move. Some effects even require both of those things, so make sure you're looking at what moves your Pokémon knows before you fuse them or change their forms, if you want their Adventure Effect.

You can also spend more Stardust, Mega Energy, and/or candy to extend the duration of the effects. Only one can be active at a time, though.
