Using an upgrade in Pokemon GO might sound tricky at first, but don’t worry, we’re here to guide you through it.
What’s an Upgrade and How Do You Use It?
An upgrade in Pokemon GO is a special item that helps certain Pokemon evolve into a stronger version. One of the most famous examples is using an upgrade to evolve Porygon into Porygon2.
To use an upgrade, first, you need to catch a Porygon. Then, gather 50 Porygon Candy, which you can get by catching more Porygon or by transferring them to Professor Willow. Once you have the upgrade item and enough candy, go to your Porygon’s details page and hit the evolve button. Voilà! You now have a Porygon2!
