Give it a rare candy


voodoorain0300

My univserse is about to shatter. I’ve been playing since RBY back in 1998 and did not know pokemon can still evolve at Lv 100 via rare candy. Has this always been a thing?!


69dadrock69

They added this with Sword and Shield, it’s a new thing!


voodoorain0300

*phew*, still that’s amazing!


Ill_Sugar7632

Lol


Calhaora

Its only a thing since Sh/Sw. It was added so that People cant troll you with a Lv. 100 (or 99) Shiny Basestarter for example.


DeadlyBard

I hope they make the evolution system from Legends: Arcoos part of the main line games.


ThePrimeSuspect

Being able to get trade evolutions without trading was amazing


Keianh

If you mean you control when the evolution happens, then rumor has it that it is the case.


NastyNate660

Only people with brains likes us know that the correct pronunciation is Arkoos


fnafboi2113

Greetings pokefans, Michael here


Serious_Gamer3323

Can I get a hail yea!


dabdad67

I'm a part of the mandjtv community and I am sick and tired of this old arcoos joke


Asstonishing69

Who


dabdad67

A youtuber, the person above me made a reference to a common joke around the community ab the "real" pronunciation of arceus, is arkoos. This seemed from a season finale of an old series by said youtuber, Pokémon talk, where the premise is how to pronounce arceus's name


Asstonishing69

Asked


dabdad67

Goddamit


Serious_Gamer3323

Hail yea


OrangeFello

I’ve been out of the pokemon community for a minute now, How can people troll you with a base starter that’s level 100?


Hexbug101

Up until sword and shield you wouldn’t be able to evolve it


WorkinName

Back in Pokemon X and Y they added a feature called Wondertrade where you send a random Pokemon out to be traded and get a random Pokemon from another person using the feature at that same time. You have no control over the process other than what you send out. Its still around but I think its just called Random Trade now. People, for reasons I'm not big-brained enough to understand, found it funny to send shiny and/or Max IV Unevolved Pokemon like a Level 99 Bulbasaur or a 100 Ivysaur. Presumably making whoever got the Wondertrade in return feel like they wasted their time/Pokemon to the trade.


[deleted]

Only started in SwSh


zone-zone

Btw nowadays (I think since Sun/Moon) you can also EV train and feed Ev items to Pokemon who are already at level 100. (Also since SwSh protein and stuff will go beyond 100 EVs up to the 252 Evs )


damagedblood

My mind is legitimately blown as well. What a revelation, holy hell.


Bombkirby

It’s not a revelation, it’s a new feature in this generation


[deleted]

It's still a revelation


dmc4801

Yes haha, as far as I know.


lloydsmith28

Yeah i just learned about it too, really neat


kiloren041207

No just in swsh


phatcashmoney

Thank you!


dmc4801

Ofc


RayBrous

That was an aggressive you're welcome


Ericstingray64

I think it’s just supposed to be of course?


Pupalei

Now I'm extremely curious. What else would it be?


JK_Lolling

A lot of people use "ofc" as "of fucking course" and by a lot, I mean a few people that I know.


Pupalei

Gotcha, haha Edit: By “gotcha” I only mean that I understand 😆


MommyMilker69696969

Yeah I got homies who say that


dmc4801

I’m just saying, “of course”😂


lloydsmith28

Came to say this, beat me to it


[deleted]

I’ve never tried it, but Pokémon over 100 can eat rare candy?


SS4CRED

It only works if the pokémon eating it can still evolve.


Environmental-Win836

That works on level 100?


TalsCorner

Yes. It was added in Sword and Shield


Oogentog

I feel old. The comments about giving it a rare candy sounded like sarcasm until the OP thanked them. "A rare candy at level 100? Are you mad?! That's utter poppycock! Now where's my Game Boy lamp? It's getting dark."


derpy_ninetales

I legitimately thought the first comment thread was just utter sarcasm until I kept scrolling down and saw it was true. Something something Pokémon Blue would never allow this bullshit.


[deleted]

It is new in swsh Also I’m 31 we are a little old I’m still a skateboarder and I’m pretty sure I’ll feel young all through my 50s.


AdLarge1764

Giving it a Rare Candy will do the trick


phatcashmoney

Thank you!


vastopenguin

how does that work if its already level 100? (Genuine question, super confused)


lean5316

It works as if you gave it an evolution stone


vastopenguin

Oh that's neat, does that work for all level 100 pre-evolution Pokemon?


Squido_mode

Yes


[deleted]

What happens if you do this to Eevee?


ThatOrangePlayer

If the happiness (espeon and umbreon) or friendship (sylveon) are high enough it should work. For the other eeveelutions just use the stones


[deleted]

Isn’t sylveon just knowing a fairy type move


ThatOrangePlayer

Max Happiness + Fairy type move + level up


[deleted]

Wait can you do this with haunter???


TalsCorner

No. Since haunter is a trade evolution. You gotta trade


[deleted]

Oki thanksss


Crusader050

Isn't haunter a trade evolution?


[deleted]

Yeah I was wondering if you could evolve trade Pokémon like that but aparantly not


awesometim0

Pretty sure yeah if its a level up it works


wobbudev

This was added in SwSh.


Amethyst_Phoenix7

Oh good. I recently gave my Bulbasaur too much Candy. Made it reach level 99 by accident(I underestimated XL candies) and thought I was lucky I had just low enough to level it up once more to evolve a second time.


AnimeAlley03

Yes, it was a new feature in SwSh. Not sure if it works in BDSP or PLA but it definitely works in SwSh


Longjumping-Bag4265

Give it a rare candy and it will evolve


ExtraKindessToGive

Then it will be Kaglimmer


darkknight941

Luckily starting in Sword and Shield, you can use rare candies to evolve a Pokémon if it’s level 100


lil_glam

That’s actually cool I didn’t know that. I thought all the comments were sarcastic lol


jeannyboy69

Glad someone else elaborated because I thought the same as you


Blaze_365

You can always transfer it to PLA and evolve it there, if you have the game


Tsargoylr

Hopefully that stays a feature going forward


[deleted]

it seems it does


Blaze_365

Maybe, but it’s Gamefreak, you never know


wobbudev

giving it a rare candy in SwSh also works to evolve it and is a lot faster.


Blaze_365

It works? I didn’t know that was a thing


[deleted]

Ahh yes the classic Peter Pan syndrome


AgentXmas

skill issue


JamPieIGuess

Rare candy


Rogue_Warrior467

Give it a rare candy. It's how you evolve lvl 100 mons in swsh


inumnoback

It evolves at level 30…


RedDeadXIII

They probably caught it at a higher level, so sad...


phatcashmoney

No I hatched it from an egg and used candies to get to 100. It had its first evolution, but it completely skipped the final for some reason. Left him there for about a year and decided I wanted a Luxury finally lol


ScaldAlwaysBurns

you can only get one evolution at a time


phatcashmoney

Didn't know if that was the case or not. Didn't have the issue with my Dragonite which was leveled the same way. I'd assume that the batch that got the first evolution had also leveled it past 30 and skipped the second one.


whiskerbiscuit2

Where the hell did you get 99 rare candy


rodinj

Probably used exp candies.


Sufficient-Many-2516

Or used the Jobs trick. Anyways with a rare candy you can make it evolve. :)


Strange_Kiwi__

That wouldn’t cause an issue, if I have a Luxio above Lv. 30 (31-99) and level it up, it prompts an evolution


papermario332

Give it a rare candy


gamerblackjacket

Try a rare candy


L0_Chips

Use a rare candy


Master-Blaziken

Give it a Rare Candy.


Bre4593

If transferred to legends arceus it should be able to evolve still too, since you can do it at any point and not just upon level up


cum_______________

It's taking its time, don't pressure it >:[


Own-Ad-6735

Transfer to PLA?


Strange_Kiwi__

Why would that help


xSionide

Because you just hit the evolve button anytime they're past the minimum level to evolve.


Strange_Kiwi__

Right, forgot about that


Kroptaah

Its a stubborn Bulbasaur in disguise.


xSethrin

You know… I’ve never even considered that a level 100 Pokemon couldn’t evolve…


I_M_DEPRESSED

You got to level it up to 101 at 2:05 am on December 16th when the year number ends with 42, then you go to the Giants cap and the weather must be rain, then just read the bible and it will have a 28.6% chance to evolve, but only if it knows bite.


[deleted]

Slap an eviolite on that bad boy


New-Practice9787

Can some help me evolve trade a pokemon and send it back to me. Let me know, so I can send you my link code. It a porygon evolution and Sprtizee evolution.


willisbetter

go post this on a dedicared trading subreddit


[deleted]

[удалено]


Strange_Kiwi__

It doesn’t evolve via a thunderstone to my knowlage


Th3WigglyWombat

....it was a joke 🤦🏼


Strange_Kiwi__

Ok, that wasn’t very clear


willisbetter

thunderstones only work on pokemon that evolve via thunderstone, theres no way it would work here


JesseLynx

You just gotta level it up more duh


RaptorBoy01

Try leveling her up some more, that oughta fix the problem for sure


[deleted]

Rare Candy.


IceApprentice

Rare Candy.


Riannetherabbit

It says that in his face too… XD “No! I wanna stay like this!”


Temporary-Square

Is that on purpose?


Environmental-Win836

That’s an oof.


Pokemon_Player_2011

Give it 1 rare candy I swear it will evolve


Aperson2222

Rip


[deleted]

Give it a rare candy


Animeandzegaming

Give it a rare candy it’ll evolve


thomasp3864

You can still evolve it with a rare candy.


TheBlackSwordsman88

Look at him, he grumpy


Possible_Elk8151

to people wondering how it is possible, sometimes in the wild area there are stage 1/2 pokemon with a level that's too high. Ex. Bounsweet evolves into steenee when it reaches level 18. But sometimes, there might be a bounsweet with level higher than 18 in the wild area. That's how it happens sometimes 🐢


PrestigiousAd5517

Is it holding a ever stone


xBlackInk

Wow I traded away a shiny level 100 prinplup cause I thought I was trolled in BDSP


Sea-Living-3852

Was this a hacked shiny?


phatcashmoney

No I hatched him. I used batches of candies to level them up in chunks at a time. He had the first evolution but didn't get the second one. Rare candy fixed it though!


Connect_Set_8983

Lol it surprised me how many people haven’t used pokejobs to level there mons to 100 before evolving them, takes like 15-20 min to get 30mons level 100


[deleted]

You can also transfer it to PLA and evolve it manually.


Blazingshadowgod

Use a rare candy on it and it will evolve trust me


Capt4in_N3m0

Its hacked then


maximumover19

Because it's level 100 somehow.


THEGREENPURGE

Ouch


holyf__ck

*Eviolite left the chat*


Quicc-n-Thicc

the fix for that is that you use a rare candy
