Evolution Changes

  • Only the Pokémon listed here have their evolution method changed.
  • The rest evolve the same way as they do in the latest official games they appear in (Scarlet/Violet or Sword/Shield).
  • ALL EVOLUTIONARY STONES INCLUDING LINK CABLE CAN BE FOUND IN THE CELADON DEPARTMENT STORE, 4F.
  • Evolution methods can be found in your Stat Scanner in-game. To access the Stat Scanner, check a Pokémon’s summary, go to the Stats page and press A.

New Item: Link Cable

Many Pokémon that evolve by trading, with or without an item, now evolve when using a Link Cable on them.

This includes the following Pokémon:
  • Kadabra to Alakazam
  • Machoke to Machamp
  • Graveler to Golem
  • Graveler-Alola to Golem-Alola
  • Haunter to Gengar
  • Rhydon to Rhyperior
  • Electabuzz to Electivire
  • Magmar to Magmortar
  • Porygon to Porygon2
  • Dusclops to Dusknoir
  • Boldore to Gigalith
  • Gurdurr to Conkeldurr
  • Karrablast to Escavalier
  • Shelmet to Accelgor
  • Phantump to Trevenant
  • Pumpkaboo to Gourgeist

Other Pokémon that evolve by trading while holding an item now only need to have the evolution item used on those Pokémon.

This includes the following Pokémon:
  • Poliwhirl to Politoed (Use King’s Rock)
  • Slowpoke to Slowking (Use King’s Rock)
  • Onix to Steelix (Use Metal Coat)
  • Scyther to Scizor (Use Metal Coat)
  • Feebas to Milotic (Use Prism Scale)

To prevent certain Pokémon from evolving in Learnset Randomizer mode, all of the Pokémon that evolve if they know a specific move (such as Mimic, Ancient Power, Hyper Drill, etc…) can now also evolve simply via level up.

This includes the following Pokémon:

  • Primeape evolves into Annihilape at Lv. 45
  • Lickitung evolves into Lickilicky at Lv. 35
