Pokemon Legends: Arceus is a totally new approach to Pokemon, and you will find quite a few differences with the game as you play it. One of these things might be how to evolve your leveled up Pokemon. This normally happens automatically in most generations of the game, but that’s not the case with this one. If you want to get one of your team to the next level, we’ll show you how in this guide.

Evolving Pokemon
To evolve your Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, you will need to first level them up enough so that they meet the basic requirements for evolving into their next phase. Once that has been met, you can then open up your Satchel by pressing UP on the D-Pad, navigating to the Pokemon you want to evolve, and pressing the X-button to start the process.
When you open up your Satchel, you might need to scroll to the left or the right by using the ZL and ZR buttons which are the triggers on your controller. Once you are at the menu that shows your items and current Pokemon team, move your cursor to the Pokemon who has a flashing yellow PokeBall. When you select them, it should show an Evolve prompt at the top of the list, showing you to press the X-Button.
Once you press the button, your Pokemon will go through the evolution process and transform.
This demonstrates how you would do it if the Pokemon evolves by leveling up. There are other Pokemon that require items and evolution stones to transform. To do these, you will need to obtain the item, select it and then select the Pokemon you want to use it on. As long as all of the parameters are met, they will transform into the new evolution.
Eevee in particular is a Pokemon that has many different evolutions. Most use evolution stones, but some are a bit more tricky. You can check out this video guide to learn more about them.
If your Pokemon requires a trade to evolve, you can still do it that way, but you can also get the Linking Cord item from the Merit Points vendor. You can learn more about that on our How to Evolve Trade Pokemon Without Trading Guide. The Merit Points vendor also has all of the evolution items you’ll need for things like Magmarizer for Magmar to Magmortar and Electirizer for Electabuzz to Electivire.
That’s everything you need to know about evolving in Pokemon Legends: Arceus! You will find a variety of informative content on the game in the Pokemon Arceus section of our website.
