How to Evolve Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is here, and it does not disappoint fans of the franchise with its exciting gameplay and explorable open world.

Like in every mainline Pokémon game, evolution has always worked the same way. Evolving a Pokémon can be done by leveling up in battle, and if you meet all the conditions, you’ll get a fine animation that showcases the Pokémon’s evolution.

Players can still use the evolution items in Pokémon Legends: Arceus as they do in previous titles. However, Pokemon that evolve by leveling up won’t just automatically evolve after hitting that mark in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

So without further ado, here’s how to evolve Pokémons in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Pokémon can be evolved through the menus in Arceus, and to do this, simply open up the game’s menu using the up button on the control pad and tap on the ‘Evolve’ option.

Once you’ve fulfilled the simple prerequisite for evolution, players can trigger the evolution for their Pokémon via the party menu. Below is a step by step guide on how to do this:

• Press the up button on the control pad

• Use the control pad to select the Pokemon that is ready to evolve, press A

• Select the “Evolve” option

Evolve appears in Pokemon Legends: Arceus alongside other options such as “Check Summary” and “Change Moves.”

This will only appear once the Pokemon has fulfilled the prerequisites for evolution, which is reaching a certain level in the vast majority of cases.

Once a Pokemon is ready to evolve, you’ll be notified while playing. The left side of the screen will show an alert saying that the Pokemon is “ready to evolve.” The Pokeball icon next to the Pokemon in the party menu will also glow yellow as well, indicating that evolution is possible.
