I would take those evolution methods (I actually think they're interesting and fun) over trade evolutions (or union circle evolutions) any day.


TheRealSkele

You and I share the same mindset


Mari_0520

Yeah why does Pokémon have to remind me that I have no friends to trade with >:(


Express_Dinner7918

Or you are the only friend into Pokemon, but yeah it sucks


Jpup199

Or walking with said pokemon out.....


SentenceCareful3246

I don't have any problem with that one.


The_Staircase_

What Pokémon requires union circle?


SentenceCareful3246

You need to use union circle to evolve finizen into palafin.


Emergency_Arachnid48

I mean, alcreamies not that hard. If all you want is an alcreamie and not a specific color, then it’s not much more work than an evo stone. The rest are 100% absurd though


Azelfite

Is there anything more ridiculous than G-Yamask evo req?


[deleted]

Basculine is similar but he has to take 294 damage, specifically just from recoil damage, all without fainting and then level up


typoking7

It's cumulative tho, so you can still heal him up. Definitely not as bad as Galarian Yamask.


PM_ME_CHUBBY_BOOBS

Galarian yamask was just give it a focus sash and walk under a rock. The hardest part was discovering it


brekiewash1234

Do megas count?


gay-potheadd

Yes


PokeChampMarx

No

I did not want to walk with Pawmo for that long. And when I found out Rellor had the same schtick, I’m glad my sis traded me hers and back

There’s Elaborate and Unorthodox, and then there’s needing to google it to figure out how tf you’re supposed to do it.


Chewbacca0510

See Scarlet/Violet annoys with some of these. You have to get a certain amount of steps without a pedometer for I think two or so separate Pokémon evolutions….And then for flipping Sinistea you have to have a certain item that is not easy to obtain because even with the market, it takes ages. Oh and you have to have the exact item type for whatever version you have or it won’t evolve. Oh and don’t even get me started on the Gimmighoul coins.


the_epikamander

As long as there's a way to know how to evolve in game


IEatHouseFlies

To me it’s less about the trial and more about the decision of when to evolve them. I try not to evolve things until I see fit (like waiting until the 4th or 5th gym to evolve vulpix or somethin), and it kinda stresses me cuz I don’t wanna do it too early and not make memories with them while they’re still in their first form, I need to be able to get emotionally invested in my Pokémon


Rigistroni

If it's something that can reasonably be figured out by the player on their own, that's fine sure whatever. Runerigus evo is fucking stupid


Tman11S

Anything better than trade evolutions


KimmyJones86

Spongebob for the win


Ringrangzilla

You say that but, My Galarian galarian farfetch'd evolved literally in the first battel I used it in, it didn’t even level up. Im not jokeing when I say I hadd my Galarian Farfetch for like 45s or something before it evolved.


shadow_mind

It would be better than trade evolutions, one of my favorite pokemon is the ghastly line, I hate having to trade my haunter to someone and have them trade it back for my gengar, it feels wrong to me on a certain level. If it was a condition like knock out fifty pokemon with haunter I would appreciate that more than hoping I have a friend who has the game or if I’m playing without the internet.


Aggressive_Dream_140

My fear is finding a stranger to trade with and them keeping my haunter/gengar when the trade is complete Alakazam is my favorite tradevolution so I feel your pain


Fabmil

If only there actually was secret evolution metod quests
