Pokemon Go Trade Evolutions: How It Works And Which Pokemon Evolve By Trading

Pokemon Go has introduced a new way to evolve certain Pokemon. Just as in the mainline series, you can now evolve some Pokemon by trading them to a friend. However, this works a little differently than it does in a traditional Pokemon game, so we've put together this explainer detailing how to evolve Pokemon through trading in Go.

How To Evolve Pokemon By Trading

In mainline Pokemon games, a handful of monsters can only be evolved by trading them to another player, but in Pokemon Go, these creatures could be evolved the same way as most other Pokemon: by feeding them a set amount of Candy. Now, however, there's an alternate method of evolving them: if you receive an eligible Pokemon through a trade, its Candy requirement will be completely removed, essentially allowing you to evolve it for free.

While this new evolution method has only been recently added to Pokemon Go, it retroactively applies to past traded Pokemon. That means if you've previously received one of the eligible Pokemon through a trade, its Candy requirement to evolve will also be removed.

Which Pokemon Evolve By Trading?

The new trade evolution method applies to the same Pokemon that evolve by trading in the mainline games:

  • Kadabra -> Alakazam
  • Machoke -> Machamp
  • Graveler -> Golem
  • Alolan Graveler -> Alolan Golem
  • Haunter -> Gengar
  • Boldore -> Gigalith
  • Gurdurr -> Conkeldurr
  • Karrablast -> Escavalier
  • Shelmet -> Accelgor

In the main series, a handful of other Pokemon--such as Scyther and Onix--also evolve by trading if they're holding certain items, but their evolution method in Pokemon Go has not been changed, so you cannot trade for a Scyther and then evolve it into Scizor without spending any Candy; only the Pokemon listed above will have their Candy requirement removed if obtained through a trade.

Boldore, Gurdurr, Karrablast, and Shelmet are among the newest Gen 5 Pokemon to arrive in the game. However, a handful of other Gen 5 Pokemon can only evolve using a new item called the Unova Stone. You can read more about how to obtain one of those and which Pokemon it works on in our Unova Stone guide.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been
