'Pokemon Scarlet & Violet' Guide: Evolution Tricks that Are Expected to Arrive in the Game

"Pokemon Scarlet and Violet" is reportedly coming this late 2022, but we haven't yet heard any confirmed mechanics about the Gen 9 game.

Many rumors have surfaced online about this controversial mainstream title, but we're still clinging to a bit of information about the potential gimmick that could be added soon.

For this part, fans are expecting that some evolution tricks will be presented in "Pokemon S & V." For now, here are the possible methods that we expect to come into the game.

Here are the expected evolution tricks that will come into "Pokemon Scarlet and Violet."

Since Pokemon has not yet announced the new potential evolution method in the game, we will be sticking for now to the usual techniques for evolving a Pokemon. These include leveling and trading your Pokemon, to name a few.

Leveling Through Battle

According to DBLTAP, a Pokemon could advance to the next level if it reaches the required experience. As such, the experience could be acquired via battle. It's also possible to get through exp share.

Another trick is by using Rare Candies. This is the fastest way to level up your Pokemon, but it would compromise the EV spread if you are a meticulous player.

Trading with Other Trainers

One of the most famous evolution methods that still exist in every mainline Pokemon title is trading the Pokemon. You can do this with your friends or an NPC.

Some of the Pokemon which evolve via trade include Machoke, Graveller, Haunter, and more.

The trade-based approach is ideal to do especially if you want to evolve your Pokemon with your friend. You can easily retrieve the traded Pokemon back to you.

Pokemon Bonding

Some Pokemon evolve when they reach a specific bond of friendship with their owners. You can do this by frequently using it during battle. You can also just walk around the area and wait until it evolves.

"Pokemon Scarlet and Violet" could adopt this classic gimmick. We could see Golbat turn into Crobat once again. The same thing goes with Pichu and Pikachu, Riolou and Lucario, and more.

Evolution Items

Aside from the abovementioned tricks, you can also evolve your Pokemon using items. For instance, your Eevee can turn into a Vaporeon when you use a Water Stone. If you use a Leaf Stone or Thunder Stone, it will evolve into Leafeon or Jolteon, respectively.

New Trailer is Coming Soon

This week, "Pokemon Scarlet and Violet" fans should wait for the most exciting news to drop. According to Gamesradar, the Pokemon Company will release a new trailer for the upcoming game on Wednesday, June 1.

If you want to watch the trailer, you can visit the official Pokemon YouTube channel through this link. The video will drop at around 6 AM PDT/9 AM EST/2 PM BST.
