This is the first of several videos I made years ago that I felt deserved an update (since two generations have started since the last one). If there are other older videos of mine you'd like to see get an update, comment them!
Wow! How long ago was the original I've been watching your channel for about 4 years now and thought this was an original vid. 😅
Actually with gimmieghoul I had a chest form only give me 10 coins. I was very miffed about that
so that's why this video felt old
MandJTV Galarian Farfetch'd could learn Air Cutter at 25. That's a high Crit move
Fixing bad shinys
I hate how people always downplay the trade-holding-an-item evolutions. They’re absolutely infuriating and are very limiting for those who play by themselves or don’t have an extra copy to trade with, so I’m glad he pointed it out here!
Yeah. These others are annoying but at least possible. The trades are not possible at all without somebody else.
Or you don't want to pay Nintendo to be able to trade even if you have friends
Not to mention when they make getting the item aggravating or late in the game.
Especially if you do it through random link trades and the fucker cancels before testing back
I lost a doodling because if that and just bought the other version (also that fucking union circle trade that can only be done through link codes)
Because of this fact I'd like to add Finizen/Palafin to this list. It was the last pokemon I obtained for the SV dex because, I had like, one friend who played the game, and it has to be a certain level, and said friend has a job, so actually finding a time to friend circle was ridiculous
For basculegion, the required 294 damage was actually related to the idea that some of the basculins died during their trip to the upper section of the river and turned into souls with hatred that surround the evolved ones. In oldish Japanese, 294 ( ni-ku-shi ) and "hatred" have the same sounds.
Why are people complaining about baculegen? I just spammed strong style wave crash on the alpha blissy
It's still annoying
Why did I both get galaran yamask and basculegen first try
Ps can't spell that good
I love that actually. The word puns in Japanese. It reminds me a lot of One Piece bounties bc their bounties relate to something about the character. 56 = Go Mu which is Luffy's thing
That's pretty interesting
I think that the linking cable item from PLA should be a mainstay at this point in the series, so that you don’t necessarily have to trade something like a haunter for gengar, all you need to do is use the item. Keeping the trade option is nice, but having the cable item is also good.
Making the link cable expensive or difficult to aquire would also stop whining over that option being availible - if you don't want to bother grinding currency or something, buy Nintendo Online and work out a touch trade.
@@serenaleone722 or instead of that nintendo can just make online features that don't require servers (like trading pokemon) free, and then the paid service is only needed for things that use servers (Like splatoon for example)
They should add it n, but make it either a rare item to find or expensive.
@@Gothic7876 I think the Link Cable should be something you can find on the ground, like other items. Maybe even as a "Drop" when you battle certain Pokémon.
Would probably make sense if you get the said item from Pokémon that are Trade Exclusive only. Not just the Pokémon in S/V, but the ones from the DLC as well or any Pokémon that you transfer from the past Pokémon games.
@Gothic7876 Maybe you have to go to a specific store in game to buy it. Maybe a giant department store like Celadon from red and blue.
Imagine trying to figure out these newer evolution without the internet
Kids would go back to schoolyard rumors like we did when I was a child.
How many people do you think knew about the milotec’s evolution
fr💀💀💀💀
I always feel like I'm in the minority that preferred the beauty stat method of evolving feebas over simply trading with the hold item, simply because I prefer to be able to evolve a pokemon on my own and not have to either hunt someone down to get them to trade with me or have to pull out another cartridge and system.
I am with you there. I think that the beauty stat requirement was unique and could be done with other Pokémon too. If they were going to change it they could have made it so Feebas evolves just using the Prism Scale
the beauty stat wasn’t annoying it was more annoying just finding a feebas in the sinnoh games lol
Same. I got a feebas from trade in BDSP and evolved it before the 3rd gym. Never made poffins before, but it’s actually really easy
@@Jonathan-us1quLike, seriously, you will find and catch a Shiny Magikarp before you find a Feebas. In the first five generations, the odds of finding a Shiny are 1 in 8,192. That is a 0.01220703125% chance of finding one in the wild. The odds are so low. Feebas is also stupidly hard to find in the Hoenn games.
And do you want to know what else sucks about Feebas in the Hoenn and Sinnoh games? The way it evolves. They could have had it evolve through leveling up, leveling up with high friendship, reaching a certain level with its Special Attack and/or Special Defense being higher than its Attack and/or Defense, trading, or even trading while holding an item. Honestly, the last one I mentioned is how it evolves as of Generation 5, and it should have been that way from the start. Trading while holding an item is annoying, but at least it's better than having to raise Feebas's Beauty condition.
Feebas will only evolve once its Beauty condition reaches 170 or higher and then levels up, and you raise this metric by either making dry tasting PokeBlocks or Poffins. You can't just make them whenever, you have to go to Contest Halls in order to use the Berry Blender or the Poffin House to make the Poffins. Then, you have to play a minigame in which you need to do well to get good level, and with other people to get good feel. You better hope your Feebas doesn't have a nature that dislikes the dry flavor, because if it does, it will get less of a Beauty benefit from each snack. And the worst part is that feeding PokeBlocks or Poffins to a Pokemon increases its Sheen, and once that value maxes out, it won't eat anymore, so if you don't get your Feebas's Beauty condition high enough before it stops eating, you have to release that Feebas into the wild, catch another one, hope it has a nature that likes the dry flavor, and try again.
I haven't even mentioned Berries yet, as Gen 3 relies on a battery for clock based events to occur, but if your battery runs dry, Berries can't grow in your game anymore, unless you replace the battery. Oh, except for the fact that doing that resets the clock, and no new clock based events can occur until the battery gets to where the previous one left off, meaning you won't be able to grow Berries until that happens anyway. There are so many factors as to how evolving Feebas works, and I'm probably making it sound next to impossible, but God, does everything surrounding getting Milotic suck balls.
You’re just lonely 😅
Fun Fact: Gimmighoul is the 999th Pokémon and after collecting 999 coins, it becomes the 1000th Pokémon: Gholdengo. One thing I like about it’s design is that it’s hair has 1 bent and 3 standing, which I believe is the representation of the number 1000.
thats actually really cool
Ikr
Personally I think it just looks like string cheese
I actually somewhat like it’s design. And the sting cheese thing makes me love it even more than before.
When I first saw Gholdengo after I evolved my Gimmighoul, I thought it was kinda weird and not at all what I expected it to look like.
But after seeing its volume image and how it moves around, by riding a SKATEBOARD MADE OF GOLD COINS, I instantly liked it a lot more and think it actually looks really cool, even with the dreadlocks and the low belt, like a cool skater dude.
Also, it low key reminds me of the robots from Stray, coz they are robots that think and act like humans, wear clothes and even play sports and some even have "hair cuts", made of like metal or wires which is pretty creative. Plus their interactions with the cat are adorable.
So I was thinking of them when looking at Gholdengo's dreadlocks, belt and skateboard, plus being a Steel-type (actually a *Gold*-type) and robots are made of metal, so... yeah.
Note: Hyper training is in gen 9, and now only requires a pokemon to be level 50 or above.
Doesn't make the tyrogue evolution less annoying but is still a very good thing to know.
I wanted to use a Palafin on my Violet team, but when I saw it’s evolution method required connecting through the Union Circle I was like “nope nevermind lmao”
I ended up catching one in a five star raid 🤣
yeah I ended up doing a touch trade to get one, I thought it was annoying that it only evolves from a union circle
I found one in a six star raid but I gave up and after months on end my dumbass got rid of my save data.......and I also lost my shiny donphan.......but I it's fine cause I caught a shiny lechonk and evolved it and caught a shiny swablu
3:26 fun fact, in my first shield play through I got a Galatians yamask expecting it to evolve by level up so I didn’t google it, I did it on accident and I had to google why my yamask randomly evolved when I was just walking
Welcome to the club, compadre.
IMPOSSIBLE
@@blazefromhoenn it actually is possible
@@Random_Hooman it seems that you are correct in that statement
@@blazefromhoennbro ur such an npc
Just wanted to point out for farfetch’d, air cutter is a high crit chance move that it learns at 25. So give it a leek and air cutter is a guaranteed crit
Actually, that's only Kantonian Farfetch'd.
Also Dire Hit items help
@@MarshtompGames is it? I was going by the move set chart he showed in the video. It shows that it learns air cutter
@@wingedcrim7489 that's the ideal way then since you need to do it in the same battle aka you need to not kill the enemy
@@squishvgc Just checked on Bulbapedia, and it is only Kantonian Farfetch'd that learns air cutter.
19:17 One note. In LA you have to do this quest to encounter the first Spiritomb, but after that they start spawning in the wild and you can catch as many as you like.
Wow! I didn't know you could find a Spiritomb in Los Angeles! Thats so intresting!
I got a Milotic in my Emerald playthrough. While you can’t make pokeblocks until right before the 7th gym, the sheen was not the problem. Aside from just finding Feebas, one big problem is that physical copies can have its battery run dry, so there was a fixed number of berries to work with for the evolution.
Oh damn I never even thought of that, yeah all my physical batteries are dead in the old games too.
If it helps, even if you can't grow berries, you can still get them from wild Pokémon. Chesto Berries, which are good for making blue Poke blocks, are sometimes held by wild Whismur and Spinda.
And there's actually around 9 berries you can get from various NPC's daily
@atonofspiders You can't get them daily if the battery runs dry. Clock based events no longer occur. If an NPC relies on a day-to-day schedule for giving out berries, then they won't restock and give you another berry.
Never mind the fact that it was nigh impossible to find a Feebas in the first place due to the random fishing tile mechanic they set in place for it. Eventually just gave up on it.
Pro tip for Milotic: In Platinum version, you can buy poffins in the basement of the department store. These can increase the beauty stat enough to evolve.
You are a LIFESAVER thank you
Also... a Feebas will like blue blocks .... if it has a +SpAttack nature. If it dislikes bvlue... WHY ARE YOU EVOLVING IT!!?!?!? Seriously, a Milotic with a - SpAttack nature sucks.
Thank you so much I did not want to do the freaking minigame just to get Milotic. I sucked at it as a kid and I'm confident that hasn't changed. You my friend have saved me hours of my life
Hitmontop's evo requirement should have been higher speed stat. That way you have all the hitmons specializing in one of the stats.
Makes a lot of sense since its a spinning top fighter.
But Hitmontop specializes in Special Defense, though.
@@omnimentaltv2507 I don't know what to tell you, all pokemon stats were kinda never make sense since a fat cat is faster than the living embodiment of time itself.
@@Radish.com.0 True, I’m just pointing out that if you want to make the stat the evolution specializes in to be the one that needs to be higher, it would be Hitmontops base 110 special defense and not its base 70 speed. Which, side note, I don’t really get why Hitmontop has any stat that’s higher since it’s based on the concept of equilibrium.
@@omnimentaltv2507 that also makes sense
Definitely the trade gimmick for me. Luckily sword had a wild one walking around but I think they still kept the trade gimmick for its previous evolve
The rage fist isn't actually as bad as you do it. If you just face a normal type, you don't have to encounter a new pokemon nor have to wait on the animation. So you can just spam rage fist, maybe use an elixer to get back another 10 pp and there you go: it now evolves into annihilape. You don't need to KO and wait on the animation for like 20 pokemon
Yea, I just went to the first area of the game, used it on a Lechonk ten times, KO’d it, ran home and healed and then did it again.
@@Gothic7876 Rage Fist does not need to deal damage for it to count. Not executing the move due to flinching, paralysis, etc. does not count
Rage fist is honestly not annoying at all.
1: rage fist a good move especially for tera raids.
2. Even if you dont do tera raids its a more balance version of roll out.
3. Its only 20 times.
Rage fist is primeapes signature move. And i will die on that hill.
It has to do with its dex entry. The "so angry it dies" part
For Ursaluna, you can also just go to your bag each night and see if the Peat Rock is compatible with Ursaring or not
You also have to go to a specific location where you can see the full moon.
Ever since Hydreigon was introduced I've been training a Deino up to evolve into a Hydreigon in every possible gen.
Obviously after finishing the main story, I'm not that crazy
I am crazy and grinded way to much in my first play through of scarlet,
I grinded to lvl 80 on lvl 50s
@@eclipseplayz3842in scarlet and violet grinding felt too much fun with the addition of the let’s go mode. It so funny watching your pokemons just demolish an entire ecosystem
I trained my deino to hydreigon when I was at 6th gym in scarlet. it was worth it
I think scarlet is the only game where u can have valid hydreigon
@mommyword5064 gurl, the shade 💀💀 (still one of my favs designwise, tho)
Fun fact that I learned recently you can evolve a level 100 Pokemon by giving it a rare candy. I was pretty surprised that they added that feature probably because of how many shiny level 100 Magikarp there are in the world.
Edit: I never bothered trying this in any game before Scarlett and Violet. I thought larvesta had the highest evolution level at 65 to get volcarona.
They added it in gen 7
@@robynbrown1154 sweet thanks for that
One method that helps with Ursaring evo is actually to just check if Peat Block is available to use rather than look up at the moon.
Probably one thing I like about Sword and Shield is how trade evolutions can be easily obtainable via over-world encounters. It was honestly a life-saver since literally NONE of my friends play Pokémon (though the trading thing is still annoying if the pokemon I need to have in order to fill the dex is a version exclusive like Galarian Ponyta or Goodra since I have Sword)
i like in arceus they just turned trade evo into an item obtainable just like the other evo items.
found a full odds shiny abra, was worried about evolvoling it, then found out about the link cable evo item.
@@DarthZ01 and they turned the held item trade evolutions like the protector and electrizer basically into evolution stones. I wish they kept them like that in Scarlet and Violet
@@DarthZ01I found a full odds remoraid and thought it would be a cool Pokémon and got a mustard yellow ocotillory then lost my scarlet and legends arceus game cards
For people wanting to evolve Farfetch'd, just find a Metapod in the wild area, and use fury cutter
Edit: With leek
With leek
@@beef3442 In Scarlet violet not i believe
Also you can teach it False Swipe and with the Leek you don't need that much time
I don’t think megapod is in either game
Also Focus Energy from Motostoke makes it a lot easier.
You know what always made me think when it comes to Milotic, is that they only did the evolution from a contest stat once. I mean, yeah its annoying to have to max out Beauty, but the fact none of the other contest stats were used just is interesting to me. Also no one seems to talk about it either. Let's say, for instance, Feebas could evolve based on whichever of its contest stats hit 170 first? Like I wonder what a Cool, Clever, Cute, or Tough Milotic would be like? Would they be Water/? types, or like Milotic would they be mono-types? All mono-water with difference moves learned and stat distributions? Or maybe they'd each be aquatic but be mono-typed without being Water, like Tough would be a Fighting-type, Cute would be a Fairy-type, etc.
I used a Pawmot (named Pawmigiana) in my playthrough team in Scarlet and I really had no problem with evolving Pawmo. What I did was just get on Koraidon and run in a small circle. That way I never went so far that Pawmo warped back to me and got my steps up really high really fast.
Easy way I found was to go to the top of the lighthouse at the start of the game, let the pokemon out and then run at least 7 laps round it
Worse is the shiny melmetal because it was a limited time only. It took me 4 weeks to even bother evolving it. It has horrible stats and is pretty weak.
If you want to evolve it quick just use the meltan as your buddy and you get candy from walking
Melmetal isn't weak though? Or are you talking about the specific shiny melmetal
@@avaluggglazer445 Pokémon go, stats are often randomized, so even though melmetal could be good in other games, because of its low stat count in Pokémon go, people could be hesitant to evolve it.
@meowmeowcatfish
Tried it and resorted to boxes. To gain 400 candy, you would have to walk with your buddy Meltan for 8000 km with the speed not greater than 12 km/h (or around 5600 miles with the speed of around 7,2 mph)
Little tip for Annihilape, you can go to Route 1 and use it 20 times on a lv 2 Lechonk. It does count, even if it doesn't affect the pokemon. It's super easy, and ethers are everywhere to refill your PP thanks to the serial litterer that's wondering around Scarlet and Violet.
Ok
Isnt lechonk a normal type
@@abhishikthkarthik1111 my guy read the whole comment
@@abhishikthkarthik1111 Yes, and that's the point. You can't hurt it, but each time you try to attack it still counts, so you can just attack it 20 times without having to get into 20 fights. You can evolve Primeape in like 3 minutes doing this.
@@annienunyabiz6627 oh I didnt know it counts
Feebas -> Milotic in Gen 3 on the GBA was a nightmare:
1) catching Feebas that only appears on 1 tile on a long route with 100+ tiles and that tile switches every day or something so you never know where it is.
So you have to FISH with a rod on EVERY tile 1-2x until you get one (because not 100% encounter rate)
2) Feed it with berries as described in this video which takes a lot of days as you need to grow certain rare berries.
I really don't know which sadistic MoFo at GameFreaks. Thought this was fun and cool.
@jesuschristisyhwh True but still - insanity!
I recently caught one in Emerald. It helped that I was emulating it. I could fast forward the pre-battle cut scene that plays when you fish out the wrong Pokemon, and I could just suspend it using the savestates if I had to do something else. I can't imagine how tough it would have been to go through this slog in the original game. One would've needed like two hours to scan the entire stretch of river. I caught mine within half an hour.
@@sumit92artist Feel lucky, my dude. Because it is painful to get it normally.
I haven’t played a Pokémon game since Gen 3. These different ways to evolve are so cool! I only remember trades, elemental stones, happiness, then Hitmontop and Milotic’s thing. Very interesting!
I think Gimmighoul gets a pass - they needed something special for pokemon 1000, plus it's an evolution method that actually encourages you to explore and seek out new towers and/or little roaming form ghouls. Is it annoying and time consuming if you want early game Gholdengo? Sure. But unlike the other methods in this list, if your goal is just to complete the pokedex and/or to use Gholdengo later in the game, either you will already have enough coins, or getting the incremental coins you need will require minimal effort.
Plus it doesn’t rely on other people
And other people are the worst
True but goddamn I hated that grind
Agreed on
Rellor into Rabsca: Makes sense, they roll balls of po- mud around and that would get bigger the more it walks.
Bramble: Makes sense, tumbleweed pick up more pieces as they roll around.
Pawmo into Pawmot: Uhhhhhhhhhhhh static electricity maybe???
it’s like friendship evolutions but harder

Pawmo -> Pawmot: Training its legs to actually stand upright and run.
When I did yamask I got it completely on accident, because I expected it to be level up.
First I was battling in the wild area (around the dusty bowl) and I was using a focus sash because he only had 50 hp. I got hit down to 1 and decided to go catch a mudsdale nearby *under the arch*
And that's when it evolved
Not only did I evolve Feebas by the beauty method in Gen 3, I actually found Feebas in the wild in Gen 3.
Legend
I thought getting the 999 coins would be WAY more tedious, I got them sooner than I expected by a mile, just exploring the map, fighting every chest (the easier ones to find are the ones in the towers) and paying a little attention to the small ones (they make a sound if you are near one) and you get it just by enjoying the game, visiting new areas
same bro it wasnt as hard as people made it seem the small ones if your luckygive like 10 coins and by the ice type gym without the tower ones i had 500+
It isn't hard the first time, the problem occurs when you need a second one, 'cause the chests don't respawn oftenly...
The problems I had with Gimmeghoul were about finding a decent one to Evolve - Weakening a Chest Form Gimmeghoul can be *a pain,* when none of your _False Swipers_ have *Scrappy or Enemy-Identifying Moves,* the little Ghost faints to a Strong Breeze (because unless you're running _Victory Road,_ you can only *Command Lv.20 or lower without question,* and Gimmeghoul is better to aquire Early while you're collecting Coins), and you have to _keep Catching Gimmeghoul_ until you get one you're *willing* to _Evolve into a Gholdengo!_
Yeah, as long as you're diligent about hitting those chests, which are fairly easy to find, getting 999 is not that bad. I got it around midway into my playthrough, evolved Gimmighoul, and then found another 999 coins before finishing the game. I spent the last 4-5 hours just ignoring Gimmighoul because I literally couldn't carry their coins.
@@moggie269 you can get a chest's worth daily at the normal gym city.
Milotic in Gen. 3 was rewarding. Figuring out how to maximise beauty in PokéBlocks using other Pokémon before feeding a single one to Feebas.
Feebas evolves with a Beauty condition of 170 or higher, and 255 is the max. Also, even if you make a PokeBlock or Poffin with good feel and level, if your Pokemon doesn't like the flavor you're going for, it will be 10% less effective. What determines whether your Pokemon likes or dislikes a given flavor? Its Nature, which is random. Let's say your Feebas has a Careful, Adamant, Impish, or Jolly nature. It's going to hate PokeBlocks or Poffins it needs in order to evolve, meaning it takes more Berries to make it evolve.
Inversely, even if you make a trash PokeBlock or Poffin with bad feel and level, if your Pokemon likes the flavor you're going for, it will be 10% more effective. Again, using Feebas, let's say it has a Quiet, Modest, Mild, or Rash nature. It's going to enjoy PokeBlocks or Poffins it needs in order to evolve, meaning it doesn't take as many Berries to make it evolve.
@@greninjamariokartpokemonfan You forgot something... it's the +SpAttack natures that LIKE blue! Milotic is a special attacker! Soo... the game is actually hinting at how to min-max Natures!
@@greninjamariokartpokemonfani mean
Why would you evolve a -spattack feebas?
4:55
You can evolve level 100 pokemon that require level up, just give them a rare candy. While it will not actually make their level higher, they will still get the level up status applied which will allow them to evolve.
I think Finizen should also be in this video since in order to evolve it you need to be with a friend, which means you must have a nintendo switch online (it costs real money). So to get palafin you have to pay more than just the games themselves. The only other way to get it is to find it in a raid, which can take forever.
Or pay like 200 quid to do it for a new switch
It doesn't HAVE to be online. You need to be in Union Circle. That means you can do it locally
I love the idea of buying Switch Online just to evolve a stupid overpowered dolphin
@@BearWith_You do you still need the help of a friend?
@@teeweezeven luckily I always have a second switch on hand either one of my family members or some randoms switch I stole for a week
The ursaluna can be done a tad easier if you go into your bag/menu and see if its able to evolve with the item-sometimes the moon is obstructed when its full and you cant tell anyway. It is still a pain tho. I played the game twice and I am pretty sure I got my PB the night after a full moon and had to wait the full cycle both times
The annoying part for me is in Pokemon GO. Even though I got mine during the events, at any other time it is not shown as an evolution when looking at Teddiursa or Ursaring unless the full moon is really in progress. Why hide the information even when the evolution can't happen?
@@MagnakayViolet that’s so lame I didn’t know that!
Also if you know the moon cycle (unless it’s random)
I got two block and they were when I wasn't looking for them in the Alabaster Iceland
I had a full moon the moment I caught my ursarang, and already had a peat block, so I could evolve it immeatly.
14:44 You can just cheese this by resting until night time, then checking the peatblock and seeing if its compatible or not in your Ursaring. If not then sleep again, and back to checking until it works.
Wanted to point out something said during Hitmontop.
1: while it is tedious, it is still pretty easy to match the stats, as the effects of EVs take place in the summary immediately, so you can equal the stats
2: hyper training in SV is easier as it requires level 50 now
3: it’s become more well known, but a lot of people still don’t know this, if a Pokémon is level 100 and evolves by level up, and you use a rare candy on it, the evolution will happen. I’m unsure when this was implemented but it has been a thing since hyper training
Annihilape using rage fist to evolve is entirely purposeful. It’s based on an old dex entry saying that some Primeape get themselves so angry that they just die of stress. Annihilape is the angry spirit of that rage-filled Primeape.
You can just use rage fist on a low level normal type 20 types to get easily
@@pokefan9194 You can't though bc it's a ghost type move ~
That’s oddly terrifying. An absolute rage monster that will not only kill itself from its own rage, but will still come after you as a spirit. It will put itself in the grave just to kill you.
@@presst4rt that's why its good. You can easily spam rage fist on a normal type like lechonk 20 types. You only need to use the move
He’s not the spirit of a Primeape. The ones that don’t die of anger are capable of harnessing that power and energy, and that causes them to evolve. Most of them die of anger, but the remainder transcend.
I actually like how Kingambit's works. It ties into the Pokedex, explains the rarity, and personally it didn't seem to take that long to find 3 Bisharps surrounded by Pawniards. Bisharps are only in 1 area and you only need 3, not 30.
Seriously, idk why he had souch trouble with finding three Bisharp leading a group of Pawniard. I just went into the bamboo forest, ate a sandwich to increase steel encounters (since it's the only steel type in the area), and they were popping up like weeds. I targeted three of em and evolved my Bisharp in like ten minutes.
@MsTheCommentator Working smarter, not harder lol. I looked for two minutes then thought wait, let's just use the encounter power for steel types, and it was a breeze.
I almost was gonna give up on evolving Meltan into Melmetal, but I remember not long after going through the whole process and barely getting candies, I did the event to get Melmetal, and I'm glad I did, I have like 3 pokemon that need 400 candies that just refuse to spawn more then once a year
So fun fact. When I first played Gold version as a kid, my first Tyrogue evolved into a Hitmontop and because I grew up without Internet, I had no idea how to get Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan and I really wanted a Hitmonlee because I used one in Red. We got a gen 2 guide book when Crystal came out and I remember being pretty annoyed that all I had to do was level up another Tyrogue lmao
In Generation III, the thing about berries is that they rely on a battery to grow, so if your battery dies, berries can't grow in your game anymore, unless you replace the battery, but doing that resets the clock, and no new clock-based events can occur until the clock catches up with the previous one, meaning that you won't be able to grow berries until that happens anyway.
Actually the "Collect a thing to get a Pokemon as a reward" dates back as far as Gen 7 with collecting Zygarde cells and cores to get its 100% form as well as the totem stickers for the totem reward Pokemon, I'd say those count.
So confused why he didn't mention it in the video
That's not really evolving though. That's to obtain the Pokemon in the first place. More comparable to the Ruinous Treasures in SV than to Gimmighoul and Gholdengo. This video is specifically about difficult Pokemon to evolve, not obtain. Otherwise Munchlax would be on the list, as would Zygarde, Spiritomb, and even the Ruinous Treasures
@@Kahadi Rewatch/Relisten to 19:05 "Adding collectibles that have a Pokemon as a reward." so for a moment there he didn't talk about the topic of the video. Spiritomb *is* on his list of examples.
@@orangutan8125 Spiritomb *is* on his list of examples.
I was surprised how difficult it was for Mikey to get Gholdengo bc it was super easy for me. Literally, Gimmighoul is everywhere. I racked up so many coins without even trying
The mystery dungeon sound effects gave me so much nostalgia
For feebas in platinum there is a puffin seller that gives you a 32 mild and 20 smoothness mild dual puffins in veilstone, you can feed 13 puffins, and only need 8 or 9 to max out a feebas beauty for its evolution
For Basculegion's 294 Recoil Damage requirement, it's likely Goroawase (Japanese Wordplay) for "Nikushi" (Archaic Japanese for "Hatred"). Nikushi = Ni (2) - Ku (9) - Shi (4)
Oooooooooh... Nice!
They made it so hard for the sake of a fucking *pun*
The most annoying for me was the bisharp evolution because it took so long just to get leader bisharp to spawn. It took so long I found a shiny falinks before being able to evolve it.
I know, it’s so annoying to do that eventually I gave up and got one from a Tera raid Someone had
I AGREE, RELATIBLE!!!!!!!!
I have a similar story. Hundreds of fishing encounters looking for Carvhana, but only a shiny Wailmer and no Carvhana after all these years. The wiki said it was possible, but I guess it lied.
Quick question: Can Carvhana be caught in Pokemon Moon?
@@sleeplesswhipdcreme_nosleep I believe not but it might in UsUm, don’t take my word for it though cause I’m not sure
3 words: encounter power steel
I evolved a shiny Bisharp into Kingambit last night and that took a stupid amount of time cause so many of the Bisharp surrounded by Pawniards seemed to not work on top of them seemingly barely spawning
I caught like 80 Meltan for Melmetal, and holy hell, that was satisfying finally getting it after weeks, and having it join my other legendaries and mythicals.
i played shield and the game doesn't have a leek but there is a way to get sir fetch'd in shield. you can teach galarian Farfetch'd focus energy to increase the rate of critical hits, then find a trainer or wild Pokemon and use focus energy right away, then use the moves. It was very quick for me
yeah Ash used that strategy when he battled a trainer using Gallade. I watched it on Pokemon Master Journeys last night.
you can also use dire hit 3x
The Leek isn't exclusive lol. It's in Shield, any wild Farfetch'd has a chance to be holding one that you can either Thief/Covet from or catch to get it
@@monstermayhem4367 and i found one as a random item
@@monstermayhem4367 well the main problem with that is that Farfech'd isn't able to be found in shield, it's exclusive to pokemon sword, and can only be obtained in shield via trading, which is also true of the leek.
For Ursaluna evolution, instead of waiting for the moon to appear, you could just go to the menu and check if Peat block is 'usable' on Ursaring... saves a lot time :)
Just go to sleep to midnight a couple of times until its usable
Yeah i didnt even know you can only evolve him on full moon until now
yes I used Hydreigon on my first ever pokemon playthrough of scarlet
yes I leveled him up from a lvl 41 deino
yes he is still on my team and my strongest pokemon currently at lvl 81
yes it was fun
I think the reason I never had problems with Galarian Sirfetchd is because I used it in a gym battle and like an anime main character team moment, it evolved from that battle. It was part of my playthrough team and I don't even know if I was aware of it's evolution, but it's possible I was and I was purposefully bringing it along to as many fights as I could so that I could give it the chances to crit as often as possible. I also got lucky with mine as it had a leek from the jump.
Kinda surprised that Inkay into Malamar didn’t make the list since inverting the 3DS is definitely something that you most likely would have to look online or a guide to figure out what you’re doing wrong to get it.
Its very easy to do though
I actually remember figuring it out by myself! I was playing it above my head so it was upside down and it evolved
guh?? it's pretty intuitive though
Wonder what the evolution method is these days. Assuming Inkay even made it to Gen 8/9, I honestly don’t know.
I know in Pixelmon, you had to level it up while at an absurd height to evolve it.
@@isenokami7810 the method is the exact same, it just means you're robbed from Malamar if you play exclusively on docked lol
I think it’s really funny to hear Mikey rant about Yamask to Runerigus because I had 0 problems doing it. I got over 49 damage without fainting my first try, and went right to the arch. Took like 5 minutes max.
Edit: I will agree that without the internet, you’d never figure it out. However, prior to any playthrough of a Pokémon game, I do extensive research on the Pokémon Database. I plan out the six Pokémon I intend to use on my team, write down their location, and (most pertinent to this) their evolution requirements. So I knew going into the game what I had to do to evolve Yamask into Runerigus
Pretty much the same for me it was weirdly easy
My best friend discovered that evolution method by accident
I don't remember it that much but I think it took me 1-2 tries to get it right.
But it's still extremely stupid
Same here
Only now am I realising how lucky I was as a kid to get Hitmontop on my only evolution of Tyrogue. I was Googling how to get the other evolutions 😂
I think their being 1008 pokemon, having some that are kinda stupidly hard to evolve or get adds depth, especially when the lore of pokemon is so simple, needing some things done just makes the lore better.
But, thats also why PokeHex was made.
All these special pokemon (mostly event pokemon) are still unique, and detectable, but payers can now get their own spoof versions.
correction: you CAN get the prism scale in oras by trading, and its in the bdsp's underground.
Jo u
You can find HEART Scales and Prism SPHERES in the Grand Underground, but not Prism Scales.
The Prism Scale is not available in Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl. I wish that holding the Blue Scarf contributed to the Beauty level for evolution.
@@JCDragon2819 It can be found. If you use bulbapedia, the info for BDSP isnt there. pokemondb has bdsp listed, and serebii sort of has it. Bulbapedia just doesn't have it.
Actually an easier way to get ursaluna is to try using the peat block at night, if it doesn't work you sleep to the next night and continue until it allows you to use it.
I appreciated Pawmo's evolution for this exact reason - there's an NPC trainer in S/V who gives you a hint about the new method. Wish more Pokemon games did this...
For the melmetal one you can set the meltab as buddy and get candy from walk distance
Well, the Meltan case used to be as hard as he mentioned. But if you have a Mega Pokémon at it's max level and then use Pinaps then it becomes faster. Not to mention that since many players (including me) like to have a Hundo Meltan, we usually hunt for it multiple times. I have way over 1000 Meltan Candies and over 500 XL candies for it and I just remember to do that occasionally.
I evolved Pawmo into Pawmot a few days ago...and I'm just watching this now...had no idea I had to walk 1000 steps haha thanks Mikey!
Pawmo to pawmot*
I ultimately didn’t find that evolution method that bad. Mainly because I’ve been doing the exact same thing for friendship evolutions, which even with this easier method to raise friendship, I would say is more time consuming than just walking 1000 steps.
You could just fircefeed them sandwiches with the sootbell
I'm kinda jealous cause it took me SO LONG to evolve my pawmo. it kept going back into its pokeball cause it can't keep up with me. and I had to go walk extra slowly around mesagoza because if I ran into any wild pokemon on a route it'd reset pawmo back into its ball. I never want to do it again
@@ArthurTRead for the future use the mesagosa stairs they are 200 steps each way so go up and down each way and you should get it
To ensure it was right I walked to thenpokecenter but just use some XP candies and it should work fine
It's pretty crazy that in Scarlet I got both dusk form lycanrock and Goodra by sheer random luck when they evolved in their specified time windows but in ARCOOS I waited hours trying to get Ursaluna.
I had my Sliggoo evolve at 65 because the rain was not happening much.
@@timhiltz6323 F
Mikey hiccuping at the end somehow made my day.
For Brambleghast, Pawmot, and Rabsca, I went to Mesagoza andwalked around the pokeball pattern in the center of town for like 20 seconds and then gave them a rare candy. Much easier :)
For Rabsca, I just went to the Type Circle in Mesagoza and went around and around for about 3 minutes. Nailed it first try.
I just went from the front gate up to the academy which is between 400-500 steps so you just need to do one round trip plus a little extra
Yeah, that's what I did for all three of those Pokémon. Six laps around there will do it for each of them.
I just ran up and down Alfornada's street for, like, 5 minutes
Honestly though, I used a Pawmot on my initial playthrough team and it really doesn't take that long
boy i used bramble ghast and rabessca i just went around a circle hole near the place where you get armarouge armor and guess what you have to do it 10 times i nailed sure but god was it time consuming
What they don't tell you about Bisharps is that 1. those three battles must be consecutive. You must not fight or even touch other pokemon inbetween. 2. Your bisharp can't receive any help from the rest of your team. 3. You must level him up afterwards. I spent all morning trying to figure out why my bisharp just wouldn't evolve.
I mean, I had my Bisharp, Oberon, evolve I think even while fighting a Girafarig in between, so I don’t know about the first point. But I used Low Kick to my advantage if you wonder how I got my Kingambit.
As much as it is annoying to evolve Basculegion, I'm actually glad they didn't make it more difficult/annoying by having it reset when you heal it's HP like when you faint, that would definitely be annoying and make zero sense because of Basculin's HP.
Also, the 1000+ Let’s Go method of evolution is basically what made me give up on having a Pawmot on my team, I did not want to deal with it resetting once you attack another Pokémon and it going back into the Pokéball. It was so annoying that I ended up just using Kilowattrel, which was actually a great decision since Kilowattrel was far more useful then Pawmo.
It was actually really easy to evolve my Pawmo I just crouch-walked around the circular area in Artizan for like 10 minutes and used a rare candy on it… boom instant evolution you don’t have to have it walk around where there’s Pokémon running around just find a nice circular area and crouch walk there for a extended period of time and your sorted
I’ve watched you for years but just realized I never subbed, assumed wrongly that I did ,
Love your energy and passion, keep killing it
for the sir-fetched evolution, if you teach it focus energy, the crit chance is 100% while holding the leek. you can also teach it false swipe so it cant actually KO the opponent but will still crit
For the 1000 steps thing, there's actually a simple way of doing it : surfing. The floaty platform pokemon are on during surfing easily catches up to the ride dragon's swimming speed (so long as it isn't the dashing speed) so it's possible to get the 1000 steps in rather quickly
Thanks for the tip
Plus you can also just run around in circles in a town plaza, I did that and it was quite quick, had no issues.
I personally find 3 laps around the Ruchbah star base works well for me
3 laps around Los Platos works really well too
Another one: if you can jump on top of a Pokémon center on Miraidon or Koraidon (I did it in Casscarrafa) and crouch, it will run in circles if it’s already out of its Pokeball because it’s trying to reach you. Let it run around for about 30 minutes and give it a rare candy and it should evolve. If not you can always jump back up and let it run around some more :)
8:05 "translation: you don't have friends" got me laughing 😂😅😳😑
about yamask im glad u made a vid bc i needed to finish my pokedex
Did you know? You can evolve a level 100 pokémon with another rare candy from Sword and shield onward
Nope. Pokemon can't eat rare candies in Scarlet and Violet after reaching level 100

@@robertlupa8273 damn, imagine if this kind of quality of life was across the entire game
I've evolved Feebas using every method in every game and raising its beauty to maximum in the original Ruby and Sapphire drove me nuts but it was so worth it just to see Milotic in my Pokémon Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness games. In ORAS and the Diamond and Pearl Remakes to me the difficulty was finding Feebas, evolving it was the easy part.
In ORAS specifically there is an easy method of getting feebas, by fishing directly under the bridge in route 119, it’s 100% guaranteed that feebas shows up, thats how I got mine. :)
its encounter rate is ridiculously low too when you have to fish the entire river. It can take up to 60 hours to just encounter one
Evolving Feebas in Diamond and Pearl is also pretty brutal especially by yourself. Need to do the berry mini game perfectly several times and have the right nature for your feebas. Thankfully there’s an NPC who helps raise the beauty stat.
Omg yes same. I just picked up my copy of Sapphire and tried it again and tbh it didn’t take as long as I had remembered. 412 squares to fish through seemed more daunting back then but it only took 30 minutes before the first tile encounter. Still involved with the Popularity phrase piece and then spamming pamtre/Oran/sitrus based pokeblocks to reach that maxed beauty.
I got a Milotic old school style in Sapphire as a kid. Worse yet, it had Jolly Nature and hated dry food. Took almost a whole weekend to do.
18:50 correction! You need at least *half* a playthrough, as I got mine about that time. I'm pretty sure you can get it earlier (be sure to have a cyclizar or a similar pkmn that is immune to its attacks)
I got a Hitmontop on my first play through of Crystal when I was six and couldn’t even appreciate how lucky I was 😭
While the running evolutions are annoying, one way to circumvent their slow speed is to run in circles. The best way to do this is in a town/city so that you don’t get random Pokémon battles. This is useful for two reasons:
A. The Pokémon won’t de-spawn from the distance
B. It’s much less time consuming since you don’t have to stop for the Pokémon to catch up. At most i spent like 3 minutes on each Pokémon running to have them evolve
5:04 soooooo this technically isn't true anymore. At least in Sword and Shield, if you have a Pokemon that's still yet to evolve by level up and it's already level 100, you can just use a rare candy and it will evolve. I did this for a level 100 Shiny Natu I got from Wonder Trade back in ORAS and it worked.
Or xp
Once a Pokemon hits Lvl. 100, XP doesn’t work anymore. Silly goose.
Learning about the event melmetal is neat cause I’m attached to the ones I have in Go and don’t wanna part with any for completion reasons
Even after getting goldengo I recommend continuing to collect ghimmigoul coins. You dont have to actively go out and look for them but you know if you see one go grab it. The coins sell for a decent amount of money.
TIP FOR ANYONE EVOLVING VIA STEPS IN S/V: I found out that on average you take 15 steps while walking directly around the kiosk desk itself of any pokemon centre in the region, this adds to the total steps needed to evolve meaning 67 laps of the kiosk will fully evolve any of Pawmo, Rellor or Bramblin. Of course walking further outside will lower the amount of laps needed to evolve but I thought I'd share this information to anyone who needed it
For the Urasring evolution after you sleep go into your bag, hover over the Peat block item, and it will say either available or unavailable under Ursaring if it's a full moon or not. You don't have to look for the moon.
6000 IQ
Also, I haven't confirmed this, but it would be logical if the moon was on a cycle, right? So you only have to check a handful of times
That is exactly that what I did.
@@teeweezeven the moon is on a cycle
I didn’t realize that
I remember catching a shiny Meltan in Pokémon Go and having to go through the tedious torture of getting 400 candies, it was a pain but it was worth it
With the whole walking thing, just set a timer to 6 minutes and walk around the edges of the Pokemon center at an even pace. That's what worked for me.
The good think about the walking evolutions is that you can find them naturally or in Tera dens
I’m gonna guess Galarian yamask is gonna be on here

I got a hydragon from leveling up a level 1 deino. It wasn't until after getting to level 65 that I realised that exp candies were a thing. Not the first time I've done this too.
Regarding ursaluna, its a lot simpler than that. what i did is instead of waiting for the full moon to rise, i just selected the peat block every night and wait until the evolution button lit up.
You thought Meltan had the most annoying evolution method, Mikey?
Ohhhh Man! Evolving Finizen into Palafin is the most hair-pulling experience this side of fishing a Feebas in Gens 3/4.
Now, Finizen's evolution method is simple enough: evolve it to Level 38. Now, you would have thought Gamefreak would have just leave it at that. *HOWEVER* , some genius at the design crew said "Hey, since dolphins are very sociable creature, let's make so that Finizen only evolves when the player has an online friend".
And thus, we just had to fork out some extra cash just to see our beloved dolphin evolve into (arguably) the mkst broken Pokemon ever.
Thanks, Nintendo,

Finizen isn't really annoying. It isn't at all if you and a friend go to a union. Friend as in a friend that visit for a while. Or a family member.
@@aldercyng7287 ...honestly, that actually makes sense!
15:11 you don’t have to wait at all. Just go into your bag and highlight the Peat Block and see if you’re able to use it. You can do this immediately without waiting for the moon to rise.
bramblin does move very slow, what i did. was walk halfway across the asado desert and then evolve it
I had a milotic farm in Omega Ruby, I used it to try to complete the national dex through trading. It was surprisingly successful.
Paladin deserves to be on this list. I had to buy Nintendo online just to EVOLVE this Pokémon. Even EA couldn’t come up with a more annoying scheme.
You can find Palafin in 5,6 and 7 star raids
You also don’t need to be online if you have someone locally that can play with you, which is likely what they were going for.
Okay hear me out, evolving Ursaluna was fun. I like a lot of the odd evolution methods because it feels like your actually bonding with your 'mon and working towards their evolution. It also makes the Pokémon feel more real than just video game monsters that you level up. That said, some of these don't really help with that aspect and are just annoying.
