How to evolve Pokemon in Sun/Moon that require specific conditions
Most Pokemon in Pokemon Sun/Moon evolve naturally. In other words, once they reach a certain level, they’ll move on to their next form. There are quite a exceptions, however. Some Pokemon have special conditions that need to be met before they evolve.
Kotaku now has a list up that goes over many of these exceptions. With new Pokemon introduced this generation, it certainly comes in handy. Continue on below for the information.
– Rattata evolves into Raticate at level 20, at night.
– Pikachu evolves into Raichu with a Thunder Stone, which can be purchased on Akala Island.
– Meowth evolves into Persian with high happiness. Using a luxury ball to capture Meowth would immediately raise its happiness a bit. You can raise happiness by winning battles, giving it a massage in Konikoni city, and feeding it vitamins. You can check a monster’s happiness in Konikoni City, and giving your Meowth a Soothe Bell will increase how much Happiness it gains.
– Graveler evolves into Golem through trading, just like before.
