How to Evolve All New Pokémon in the Galar Region - Pokémon Sword and Shield

The Galar region is home to dozens of new creatures to collect in, and all of these new Pokemon have their own methods of evolution. As in the past, some Pokemon evolutions are much more difficult to understand than others. Most of these evolve as you level up, but a few require additional steps: you might get new evolutions based on your Pokemon nature, or even a random evolution after going around in circles.



There are totally new (and totally weird) methods that require more than an Evolution element. Some of the strangest Pokémon have to evolve in specific places on the map - or in the case of Galarian Farfetch'd, you can become the brave knight Sirfetch'd by landing three critical hits in a single battle. Make sure to learn the moves to increase your critical chance!

All Pokémon evolutions in the Galar region

Most Pokémon evolve according to their level. Once your Pokémon reach a specific level, they automatically evolve - some are more complicated than that. We'll start with the starters, then walk you through the trickier Pokémon evolutions below.
