Benefits of Mega Speedups in terms of combos needed to mega evolve
Disclaimer: This is a guide and should be used as a reference point and not as gospel.
This is a repost of the table I posted a few months back but with a better title. What you are seeing is the reduction of combos needed to mega evolve given you utilise the maximum amount of Mega Speedups (WMMS). These are just vanilla combos so don't factor in Mega Boost or any other quirks such as matches within frozen blocks. NB: I will keep this table updated as new mega evolutions are added.
