If you’re wondering how to evolve a Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, don’t worry – it’s different. Anyone who’s played a Pokemon game for a while will find that Pokemon Legends: Arceus does things a little differently than previous games.
That’s right, in previous Pokemon games, a Pokemon will automatically evolve when it reaches the criteria it needs to evolve, whether it’s reaching a certain number of moves or a certain level. Figuring out how to make each of the entries in the Pokemon Legends: Arceus Pokedex evolution is only one piece of the puzzle.
But that’s not the case for Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Instead, you have the option to choose when you want to evolve your Pokemon. The game will alert you when a Pokemon is ready to evolve, and then when you’re ready to evolve that Pokemon, do the following:
Press Up on the D-Pad to open your inventory > Select the Pokemon from your party you want to evolve > Hit X to Evolve > Confirm you want it to evolve.
You will then be able to enjoy the brand new evolution cutscene and add this new creature to your Pokedex. Make sure to follow your Party regularly as this game has evolution items or new evolution unlocks that are not related to leveling up. Some of these can be found below:
