Why Mega Evolve?
Mega evolutions in #PokemonGO serve two main purposes. The first, and most obvious, is to have powerful pokemon for Raiding. The second is to get additional candy when catching pokemon of the same type as your mega evolution. Serebii has a list of all Mega Evolutions here.
How to Get Mega Energy
In order to Mega Evolve you'll need the mega energy for the corresponding pokemon. To get the initial required mega energy you'll need to complete Mega Raids or complete specific field research tasks. After mega evolving a pokemon once you'll be able to walk with a buddy (of the same species) to get additional mega energy.
