If it happened to me, then it can happen to you. Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet<\/em> and Violet’s<\/em> worst evolution method is prevent players<\/span> from evolving their beloved Pawmo<\/span> and Rellor over hours<\/span> and dozens of levels. By the time I went on Reddit to figure out why my Paldean electric mouse wasn’t evolving, he was already level 52 (despite being able to evolve at level 19). The game never told me why<\/em> I had to suffer so needlessly, so I’ll explain instead. You’re welcome.<\/p>\n

Certain Pok\u00e9mon in the new games have a special evolution method. You have to take them out of their Pok\u00e9balls and \u201cwalk\u201d them in the \u201cLet’s Go!\u201d feature. This is fine in theory, but there are several frustration factors. For one, you can’t run too quickly. Otherwise, the Pok\u00e9mon will go back into its Pok\u00e9ball. So I forced myself to walk the entire length of the Glaseado Mountains. Did I mention there’s no step-counter or any other method of checking your progress? Entering regular battles<\/span> also cancels out walking for some players. That’s how I ended up walking my level 52 Pawmo everywhere without realizing that he was nowhere close to evolution. My biggest issue was that my steps weren’t being counted at all. <\/p>\n

Here’s why some people have been blocked from evolving them: Players were likely using the wrong \u201cwalk\u201d button like I had. See, there are two buttons for sending out your Pok\u00e9mon. One is R, which helps you target specific opponents in the wild. The other is ZR, which is the trigger button that actually counts<\/em> for evolution. So no matter how much they walk, players who are using the R button will never be able to accumulate the steps they need.<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet<\/em> and violet <\/em>launched with a tons of bugs<\/span>, so I can understand why the \u201cLet’s Go!\u201d evolution didn’t seem to get the attention that it needed. But it doesn’t make it any less frustrating when my Pawmot becomes the last member of my team to evolve. I’d already collected almost every single gym badge, and those extra attack points could have been useful!<\/p>\n

I know that it’s video game logic, but there’s just something so funny about my entire ordeal. I’d journeyed for dozens of hours, had a whole adventure with him, and my Pawmo did not evolve into Pawmot. Once I walked it in the correct<\/em> way, he has evolved within minutes. Spoiled, much?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
