To Mega Evolve a Pokemon in Pokemon Go, you will require an additional item named Mega Energy. Once a Pokemon evolves in Mega form, that Pokemon will stay in that form for a limited time, but you can use that Pokemon in several types of battles.
Once you turn a Pokemon in Mega form, their CP will increase, and you can check this on the screen as well. But, once they start to turn in standard form, their CP will start decreasing, and initially, it will turn back to normal.
