What is the Upgrade for in Pokémon GO?
Last updated
Ever wondered what the ‘Upgrade’ is for in Pokémon GO? We’re here to clear up the mystery! Pokémon GO is a game that’s always been about exploration, catching Pokémon, and battling, but there’s this one item that has left many scratching their heads – the ‘Upgrade’.
So, what is the ‘Upgrade’ for in Pokémon GO? Let’s dive into the details and find out exactly what it does and why you might want it.
Short and Sweet: The Purpose of the Upgrade
The ‘Upgrade’ in Pokémon GO is a special item used exclusively to evolve Porygon into Porygon2. Evolution in Pokémon GO makes your Pokémon stronger and more competitive for battles, and the ‘Upgrade’ item is a crucial part of evolving one of the most unique Pokémon in the game.
Without the ‘Upgrade’, you can’t evolve Porygon, which means you’d miss out on having Porygon2 in your collection. To use the ‘Upgrade’, you’ll also need to have 50 Porygon candies, which you can collect by catching more Porygons or by using Rare Candies.
