Despite this, it is going to take several raids of that same Pokémon before you’ll have sufficient energy for Pokémon Go Mega Evolution.

Keep in mind that you can only acquire one Mega Pokémon at a time. Mega Evolving a different one will revert your first Pokémon to normal. And you’ll have to collect Mega Energy in order to evolve it again. Using a Mega Pokémon in a raid gives an attack boost to other Pokémon, with an additional attack boost provided to Pokémon of the same kind. These boosts don’t stack.
