Evolution is an exciting part of raising companions in the Pokémon series. While the original 150 were limited on ways to evolve, the different methods have expanded with each of the 7 new generations added over the past 25 years. Pokémon can evolve using methods like leveling up, evolution stones, or even being traded while holding specific items. However, some of the best evolutions happen in unique situations with specific species of Pokémon.

The addition of regional forms during Sun and Moon has helped change the way evolution can work. Pokémon from earlier generations like Meowth and Slowpoke now possess many different looks depending on what their regional form is. For instance, a Galarian Slowpoke can become Galarian Slowking or Galarian Slowbro by holding different items when evolving. Galarian Meowth and Alolan Meowth both have different appearances from the Meowth of Kanto and possess new Types. They also evolve into two different Pokémon: Perrserker or Alolan Persian.

Pokémon can evolve based on their relationship with a trainer as well. For example, friendship levels are used to Evolve Eevee into Sylveon or Type: Null into Silvally. Most baby Pokémon evolve into basic species using friendship, including Togepi, Pichu, and Cleffa. Friendship isn’t the only factor used when a Pokémon evolves. Personality values decide whether Wurple becomes Cascoon or Silcoon, and Nature decides which form of Toxtricity a player will get. However, there are a handful of Pokémon that have specifically interesting methods of evolving, and some can be a chore to accomplish.

Unique Pokémon Evolutions – Milcrey And Alcremie

Evolution is a dance for players wanting a specific form of Sword and Shield’s Alcremie when they evolve their Milcrey. Not only will they need to acquire the right accessory for their sentient pile of cream, but they will also need to spin their character around to whip Milcrey into its evolution. Depending on the Sweet item, time of day, and the direction of the spin, Alcreamie takes on a unique coloration. The only time this is omitted is if Milcrey is Shiny, then Alcremie will look the same regardless of the player’s choices. Alcremie has 9 different forms, with 7 different varieties depending on the Sweet item it holds. This gives Alcremie an incredible 63 possible looks.

Unique Pokémon Evolutions – Applin & Flapple or Appletun

Evolving the Pokémon Applin can produce two different apple-themed Grass/Dragon Pokémon. However, the correct apple item will be needed to get the desired evolved form. Applin can use either a Sweet Apple or a Tart Apple to evolve. The Sweet Apple can be found in Pokémon Shield exclusively and can be obtained via a quest in Hammerlocke or as a rare spawn in the Wild Area at Axew’s Eye. The Tart Apple is exclusive to Pokémon Sword, and can be obtained using the same methods as Shield. Once found, the apple can be fed to an Applin to create the flying dragon worm Flapple using the Tart Apple, or the apple pie dragon Appletun using the Sweet Apple. It is possible to trade apples between games to obtain both forms for the Pokédex.

Unique Pokémon Evolutions – Toxel And Toxtricity

Evolving Toxtricity will produce two different forms, the Amped form, and the Low-Key form. Both forms are Electric/Poison-types, with no stat differences, so it comes down to cosmetic preference for players. To evolve the desired form, catching a Toxel with the correct Pokémon Nature is key. To get Toxtricity’s Amped form, it will need a Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Docile, Impish, Lax, Hasty, Jolly, Naive, Rash, Sassy, or Quirky Nature. To get its Low-Key form, it will need a Lonely, Bold, Relaxed, Timid, Serious, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Calm, Gentle, or Careful Nature. This can require capturing a few Toxel to get the correct Nature.

Unique Pokémon Evolutions – Burmy And Wormadam

Evolving Burmy into Wormadam requires a special Cloak for a female Burmy. There are three different Cloak types: Sandy, Plant, and Trash. To get the Sandy Cloak, Burmy’s last battle needs to have been in a sandy or rocky area. For the Plant Cloak, the battle will need to have been in a grassy or watery location. The Trash Cloak is achieved when the previous battle takes place in a building, town, or city. It is important to battle in the correct location right before Burmy hits Level 20, to ensure the correct Wormadam form evolves.

Unique Pokémon Evolutions – Sinistea And Polteageist

Sinistea has two forms it can evolve into using a Chipped Pot or a Cracked Pot item. There are Rare Sinistea who evolve into the Antique Form of Polteageist, and then there are the standard Sinistea that evolve into the Forgery Form. The only way to know which form a player has is to Dynamax it and look underneath for the stamp of Authenticity marking it as rare. Because the Rare Sinistea are so hard to find, catching and confirming one can be a real task. Antique Form Polteagist also can’t be bred for more Rare Sinistea, as all offspring of an Antique Polteagist are technically Forgeries.

Unique Pokémon Evolutions – Galarian Farfetch’d And Sirfetch’d

Evolving Galarian Farfetch’d into the knight-inspired Sirfetch’d requires careful battling. Sword and Shield introduced a special new method of evolution for Sirfetch’d, where a player will need to land 3 critical hits in one battle using Galarian Farfetch’d. There are several ways to boost the chance of landing a critical hit. Teaching Galarian Farfetch’d the “Focus Energy” move will boost a chance of critical hits, as well as offering it the Scope Lens or Razor Claw, two items that boost critical hits.

Many exciting new ways to evolve Pokémon were added in Pokémon Sword and Shield, branching away from classic methods to give players new challenges. Using unique methods specific to a Pokémon’s form, or based on the region it is located in, adds exciting flavor to raising Pokémon. These methods also create new puzzles trainers will need to solve to fill out their Pokédex. Hopefully, the Pokémon series will continue to add interesting new ways to evolve Pokémon in future generations, expanding the list of complex evolutions to challenge players.
