How many Pokémon evolutions are there?
We list 516 evolution steps across 340 evolution families, including regional forms that evolve their own way.
Why does the method change between games?
Newer games drop old tricks. 66 evolutions changed at some point. Leafeon and Magnezone moved from special places to stones, and Legends: Arceus swapped trading for a Linking Cord. Each step here shows which games use which method.
Which Pokémon evolve by trading?
27 evolutions have used a trade in at least one game, such as Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler and Haunter. Some need a held item, like Onix with a Metal Coat. See the trade evolution list for all of them.
How do I raise friendship quickly?
Keep the Pokémon in your party, walk with it, win battles and avoid letting it faint. Massages, vitamins and a Soothe Bell help in the games that have them. Then level it up, or evolve it directly in Legends games.
