What Pokemon Need an Item to Evolve in Pokemon GO?
Last updated
Ever wondered which Pokemon in Pokemon GO require a special item to evolve? Let’s dive into that curious question.
In Pokemon GO, not all Pokemon evolve just by gaining experience. Some of them need a little extra – a special item!
Special Items for Evolution
In the world of Pokemon GO, certain Pokemon won’t evolve into their cooler, stronger forms without a specific item. These items are unique and cater to specific Pokemon evolutions.
For instance, to evolve Onix into Steelix, you’ll need a Metal Coat. Similarly, to transform Sunkern into Sunflora, a Sun Stone is essential. Other items include the King’s Rock for Slowpoke’s evolution into Slowking and the Up-Grade for Porygon’s transformation into Porygon2. Catching these Pokemon is just part of the journey; finding the right item is what completes their evolution.
