How do I evolve my Pokémon who needs to be traded? Or any other evolution method?
Some of the evolution methods in PokéRogue have been changed from the main Pokémon games.
Trade evolutions in PokéRogue now need an item called the Linking Cord.
How can I Mega Evolve or Gigantamax?
- Once you find the Mega Bracelet, the Mega Stone you need will be added to the pool of items you can find.
- Rayquaza requires you also have its signature move Dragon Ascent, as well as Rayquazite.
- Primal Reversions work the same as Mega Evolution.
- Once you find the Dynamax Band, Mega Mushrooms are added to the pool of items you can find.
