Super Mega Raids are about to be a thing very soon in Pokémon Go (or already if you're visiting the community events in Los Angeles), but before that, you need to understand Link charges and how they work.

Link charges are a brand-new source of energy in Pokémon Go. They're exclusively required for participating in all forms of Mega Raids. This includes the Standard and the Super variants, with the latter going to being the ultimate test.

Like all sources of energy, you can only hold a finite amount of Link Charges, and they also finish once you use them to enter battles. This guide will explain the complete concept for you to use the resource as efficiently as possible.

How do you get Link Charges in Pokémon Go

So, how exactly do you get this energy resource? Well, you'll notice something called a Link Holder in your item bag. This item is available to all for free, and it will always be equipped by default. Once you get the Link Holder, you can start to collect Link Charges.

There are different ways to get Link Charges.

• All types of social activities in Pokémon Go will reward you with Link Charges.
• Complete different Weekly Challenges to get them.
• You can also get Link charges by checkin in to official meetups hosted by the community.
• You can also get the energy by opening gifts sent by your friends. You can also return the favor by sending them the gifts.
