The game features a variety of tools that allow the developers to pace out the level spikes, and evolution gives you a sense of growth and accomplishment on your journey.

Game Freak is hard at work on a new starter for Pokémon GO. This is important because it will help keep players engaged and interested in the game. ..

In the past, the developers have gotten ahead of themselves.

Pokémon that are incredibly difficult to evolve are the ones that tend to be found in the most difficult areas of the game. These Pokémon are often found in places where there is no other way to get them, and they can only be obtained through a process called “evolution.” This process involves taking a Pokémon that is already very powerful and making it even more so.

15. Kirlia to Gallade

Evolving Kirlia to Gallade isn’t an enormous task, when compared to some of the little nightmares further down this list. ..

First, because I think it’s important to remember that the president is not a god. Second, because I think it’s important to remember that the president is human.

Two, because I think that Gallade is a great Pokémon.

You need a dawn stone to start the day.

Dawn stones are rare and often hard to find. They can vary in each generation, depending on where they were found. ..

Gallade is a difficult stone-based evolution to get your hands on. ..

I’ve decided to give my ex-boyfriend a consolation prize for breaking up with me. ..

14. Eevee to Leafeon/Glaceon (in Gen IV)

As I’m thinking about the Gen IV remakes, I’m also thinking about Leafeon and Glaceon.

In order to evolve into Vaporeon or Jolteon, Flareon and Espeon had to learn a move called Flash. This move required them to send a powerful electric pulse out of their mouths. ..

In an era before everything was on the Internet, people had to find ways to communicate with each other. One way was through letters.

In the game, there were two moss stones and an ice stone. These stones were not evolution items, but actual stones in the overworld.

To evolve Eevee into Vaporeon or Jolteon, you needed to find the stones that corresponded to their evolutions in the areas around Eevee. ..

It might not seem like much of a problem these days, but for seven-year-old me it’s all I can think about.

13. Haunter, Machoke, & All the Other Old-School Trade Evolutions

If you need to trade a Pokémon to evolve it today, there is a quick and easy way to do it on Discord. ..

Discord wasn’t around back in the day. It’s a relatively new app that has quickly become popular among gamers and online communities for its voice and text chat features. ..

I didn’t have many friends because I was always alone.

I was never able to finish the old Pokédexes from those two games because I couldn’t find the right Pokémon to type into each one.

The fact that the only way to get your hands on these rare Pokémon was through trading, it was a bit of a bummer. Basically, you needed two Game Boys. ..

I’m grateful that Game Freak has eliminated that mechanic.

12. Shelmet and Karrablast

Game Freak decreased the number of trade evolutions in Pokémon GO, but made the remaining ones much more complicated. ..

The Shelmet or Karrablast is a pain to use.

It was one of the last Pokémon I ever caught on my Gen VIII Pokédex.

The only Pokémon that can evolve into either of these two guys is the legendary Pokémon Gyarados.

Despite having access to a whole community of Pokémon fans from my phone, organizing a trade like this is still more difficult than you might think. The process of finding someone who is interested in your Pokémon and arranging a trade can be time-consuming and frustrating.

11. Deino/Zweilous

Hydreigon is one of the few Pokémon that’s a nightmare to evolve, but doesn’t have any special conditions.

The first stage in the evolution, Deino, doesn’t evolve into Zweilous until level 50. This is absurd if I’m honest. ..

What’s worse is that Hydreigon doesn’t evolve into Zweilous until level 64.

You’ll need to find a way to get to the Elite 4 before you reach their level.

The Hydreigon team might be worth the effort, but they should have thought this one through more.

10. Toxel

I ran a toxel on my story team. So I’m partial to the little bugger. ..

The main point is that it can evolve into a nightmare to get.

Luck has played a big role in my success. ..

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, half of the natures in the game get one form, while the other half get the other form. ..

If you didn’t know this, then you’re in for a very disappointing surprise. ..

9. Pre-Gen V Feebas

Feebas is a legendary Pokémon that can only be found in the Johto region. It’s a powerful water type and is said to be immune to all types of damage. Getting your hands on Feebas can be a challenge, even for the most experienced players.

Evolution is difficult because it is a slow process. ..

Before BW introduced the prism scale, it relied on the hidden beauty stat. This made evolving it much easier. ..

You could feed your Pokémon Pokéblocks to increase their Attack stat.

The catch is that the ugly fish will get fat and not eat anymore if you feed it too many blocks. ..

If your beauty stat isn’t high enough, you won’t be able to get a Milotic. ..

8. Larvesta

Larvesta is a Pokémon that is Deino, but much worse. ..

Volcarona is a pseudo-legend that only has one evolution - the pseudo-legend Volcarona.

But the game doesn’t really start to feel like a true RPG until level 59. ..

Larvesta, a Pokémon introduced before EXP share was overpowered, was an effort to get it to grow its wings.

7. Inkay

I was surprised when I found out that I could actually evolve my Galar into a Machamp. ..

I was wrong about the inclusion of a ludicrous method of evolution in Pokémon.

Inkay is a new In-game currency that can be used to purchase items in the game. You can also use Inkay to buy items from the shop.

The Internet has made it so easy for people to connect and share information. But there are some things that still seem difficult to figure out.

6. Milcery

Milcery is a species of fish that has a condition for evolution that is strange. ..

The first evolution is the rise of humans who can read and write. This evolution happened about 5,000 years ago. The second evolution is the rise of humans who can think critically and solve problems. This evolution happened about 1,000 years ago. ..

Milcery is an evolving game that needs a sweet flavor to keep players engaged. By giving the game a sweet flavor, we can keep players coming back for more.

I didn’t know my character could do that at the beginning of the story.

This is an interesting entry because there are 63 different types of Alcremie that Milcery can evolve into.

I’m not sure what I want to say about this particular topic, but it seems like everyone has a different opinion on it.

The type of sweet you get changes based on the time of day, what sweet you give it, as well as the time you spend spinning and what direction you spin in.

That’s too much effort for a Pokémon that I would just not want to eat.

5. Kubfu

I loved the way Game Freak made you evolve Kubfu so that you could become a more powerful and skilled player.

The fact that I had to build a bond with my Pokémon is something that I appreciated so much. It has since become one of my favorite Pokémon.

The wait for the new Star Wars movie was excruciating. ..

It’s not just the photos, but the climbing requirement. And then choosing your tower of choice was a killer.

The DLC for “Fallout 4” took as long as the rest of the game combined.

I’m glad I made the decision to get a big, burly kung-fu bear as a bodyguard. He’s been by my side ever since and it’s been worth it. ..

4. Tyrogue

I don’t know what the hell that is.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say, Hitmontop. The other two Pokémon can eat a Slowpoke tail for all I care. ..

I finally caught this little Pokémon after hours of trying. ..

I couldn’t find anyone to trade me one, so I decided to make my own.

The Tyrogue needs to level up to 20 with the same attack and defense stats in order to use its full potential.

If you don’t have one of the five different natures that work, then bad luck buddy.

You battled the wrong Pokémon and got them wrong EVs? That’s a shame.

The Inception totem is a glorified version of the movie’s logo. I’m not happy about it.

3. Galarian Yamask

What the hell, Game Freak, why are you changing the game so much? Who came up with all these crazy evolution ideas?

Your Yanmask needs to drop below 49 HP from one attack and not faint.

That’s already specific enough.

To trigger the evolution, you must go underneath a specific rock in the Wild Area. ..

Why are people so compelled to do things that don’t need to be done? There’s no need for all that. Honestly. ..

2. Galarian Farfetch’d

Some people think that Mr. Unibrow is the hardest Pokémon to evolve in the Sinnoh region, and I can see why they might think that. He has a lot of tough requirements to meet, and it can be difficult to get everything right. ..

There are a few things you can do to make your job easier, but it’s very easy to get it done with a little bit of prep work.

To become a Sir Lancelot cosplayer, you need to achieve three critical successes in battle while holding a leek. ..

I increased my crit chance by leeking my Farfetch’d and then using Air Cutter. ..

This method guaranteed me a critical hit every turn.

I was looking for a Pokémon that could survive three of them, but not knock me out. ..

1. Galarian Slowpoke

I’ve never had a Pokémon that caused me as much pain and misery as Galarian Slowpoke.

It’s not even hard to evolve this thing. ..

Isle of Armor is a great place to start your next fetch quest. ..

You need to gather eight Galarica Twigs on the island and bring them to an NPC by the train station to make a cuff for your wrist.

Slowpoke can evolve by wearing a cuff that allows it to change its form.

Pokémon is a popular video game that many people enjoy playing. It is a fun and engaging game that can be enjoyed by all ages. ..

If I wanted a fetch quest, I would play Skyrim and use the cheat codes to get the quests from the game’s files.

This Slowbro took me longer than any other Pokémon on this list simply because it’s slow. The quest is not even worth it!
