Top 10 Hardest Pokemon to Evolve in Sword and Shield

Pokemon Sword and Shield have brought us some old and new Pokemon into the world of Galar. Some Pokemon come in many shapes and sizes. Some also evolve into very different Pokemon as well. Speaking of evolutions, today I wanted to go over the top 10 hardest Pokemon to evolve in Pokemon Sword and Shield. Evolutions can go from trading, to having certain items, and even some weird conditions like friendships. Pokemon Sword and Shield brought us a plethora of old and new Pokemon to evolve and discover on our own and today i wanted to point out which ones I found the most difficult to do. With that being said though, let’s hop into the hardest evolutions in Pokemon Sword and Shield!

Here’s how you evolve Farfetch’d: 1. Catch it. 2. Teach it Focus Energy 3. Find a wobbafett 4. Use focus energy, then rock smash three times. You’re welcome.

[@TheTrueMorse64]

Throw in a leek in there as well!

[@trainerkai1313]

Plus a leek

[@jashipeanut9124]

I did this before this comment even existed. Except for the first part. And a leek.

[@thereza3]

Make it hold a leek.

[@doctorxtn9225]

A better way is to have farfetch'd relearn peck, and go to the galar mines and use peck on a stunfisk until it gets 3 critical hits. Way faster than OP's way

[@fireblaster4073]

"Has to wait 6 badges to get the razor claw" still better than having to wait to victory road to get the razor claw in gen 4

[@jeremiahlau2881]

Trouble is in gen 4 you can get sneasel before facing the 7th gym while here you can get sneasel after the third gym. So you have to wait longer to evolve sneasel.

[@frankdijkhuis7038]

Actually no. After u fight cyrus and get the master ball. U can free the lake trio but when you come back to the room and use the dowsing machine. U can actually find the razor claw in his room.

[@jeremiahlau2881]

That's in Platinum, I'm talking about Diamond and Pearl

[@wikiuser92]

You can actually get a Razor Claw before the third Badge if you're lucky. The bargai shop at Stow-on-Side can offer to sell you one.

[@dylanattix2765]

Or Sun and Moon, Jesus Christ. Only found on Jangmo-o 5% of the time, and Jangmo-o was a 5% encounter rate. True Story: one time, I found myself wanting a Weavile, so I did the trick with putting a fainted Compound Eyes Butterfree in front, put Thief on Alolan Exeggutor (has Frisk) got a drink, turned on a podcast, and settled in for what I thought would be a long, tedious process. First fucking try.

[@burnt_dread6332]

Honorable Mention: Rufflet: You would usually catch this Pokémon early game around Lvl.14, it needs to be Lvl.54 to evolve. That is just absurd

Honorable mention: Alcremie. Literally. The game doesn't tell you ANYTHING about how to evolve Milcery into Alcremie, aside from the /subtle/ hint in the held items' text. And even then, there's the forms to make it even more of a struggle, since *style*. Overall, one of the tougher ones to even realize exists in the game.

[@jojoesquivel2419]

Has one of players who bought the book (the pokedex) it is crazy how to evolve it with different forms. Spinning it in what direction and for long. Not one of my favorites. But thank god for raids.

[@michaelrusso996]

You forgot Milcery First you give it an item and then you... *spin me round right baby right round like a record baby rose from ground ground*

[@professorx2774]

Lol true

[@ricochet3395]

Yes join me and will make you powerful

[@dovahkat9635]

That is vastly oversimplifying it. There are 63 different forms of Alcremie, 70 if you count the shiny form. The item you give it determines the decoration, of which there are 7 options. Then the flavor is determined by the direction you spin, the duration of the spin, and the current time of day when you spin. There are 9 flavors that stem from these factors. The only exception is if it's a shiny Milcery, then the only thing that matters is the decoration you give it.

The trade evolutions? Find them in the over world! I found a Gengar in my Sword game which has a 2% spawn I guess? Or look for the Dynamax battles.

[@scottwpilgrim]

Yup. Have you learned about the Max Raid Hack? You can refresh the overworld pokemon by going into a max raid battle 1) Find a max raid den 2) Invite trainers to join battle 3) Hit the home button on your switch 4) Go to settings, system, date and time, and turn off internet sync 5) Move the date forward one day 6) Return to pokemon game and cancel max raid battle Once you go back to the overworld, the game clock is reset and any special encounter pokemon will go back to their place in the wild area. This is useful for if and when you accidentally make the trade evolution pokemon faint and you don't want to wait a whole day to try and catch it again.

Broo first time seeing his full character I have notifications on you should too

[@lordgamermon]

So I'm not sure if anyone else has said this, but SirFetched is actually much easier to get than you think. When you catch a galraian Farfetched There is a 50% chance that it will be holding a leek, This item will increase farfetches critical hit Chance by 50%. Also it has access to the move fury cutter a move that doesn't do a lot of damage but it has a very high critical hit chance already. I was able to get a leak after my second capture of a farfetchd And get into a battle with the wild stuffel. and surprise I was able to do three fury cutters in a row with little to no damage and get the three critical hits I needed. Not sure if this will work for everybody but it worked for me and my sword played through and I was able to get Sir fetched for my team and It became my favorite pokémon to use in my sword run

Yeah but I would not want a random Gengar I caught I would want a gasty I hatched with perfect ability and egg moves also if it's shiny no way I'm giving that up. Also since their is no gts anymore you can't trade with yourself and one console which sucks. They really need to ether have a npc that trades and trades back your Pokemon in game or have a trade back feature in online like you put huanter with the trade back and it trades and automatically trades back Pokemon so people can keep their Pokemon.

[@kpbevan_904]

shadowwizard 23 They have raids for that... also a Pokémon can only have one ability at a time not more than one.

[@shadowwizard2383]

@@kpbevan_904 yeah I miss typed I fixed it and what do you mean they have raids for that

[@kpbevan_904]

shadowwizard 23 Max Raid Battles allow you to catch Pokémon like Gengar who are trade evolutions with their Hidden Abilities assuming that’s what you want, potential egg moves, as well as the potential to be shiny.

[@shadowwizard2383]

@@kpbevan_904 while that is really cool and I love the Max raid battles. I personally rather raise a onix with the moves/ability/nature I want then get a metal coat and have a way to trade evole and get my steelix back to continue raising it. Their just need to be a way to trade with yourself again or to get back your Pokemon automatically after trades and hopefully it is easier.

Actually there is a way to get the weather you want. Go to Austin johns video, how to change the weather.

[@Darwingreen5]

I still can't believe how lucky I got while leveling up my Sirfarfetch'd in one pokemon battle. Granted I think anyone trying to evolve this guy without a leek is nuts.

[@AlectricEel]

I caught a Tyrogue on my first ever playthrough and didn't use any vitamins on it but it still evolved into Hitmontop - I was lucky!

First

[@tri1937]

BTW, the first of every month makes every zone a certain weather type. 11/1 is thunderstorms 2/1 is snowstorm 6/1 is fog 7/1 is intense sun ect.

[@meeperscreepers]

not to mention the hit your yamask has to take has to be in one blow, so moves like bullet seed and fury swipes wont work, i found that out the hard way

[@easportsitsinthegame6959]

For Galarian Farfetched, just get one with Brutal Swing, that’s what helped me get one so easily, hope this helps!

[@Jnitro991]

Can you do a series of these for the other regions

[@evilme1752]

get a yamask, level it up and let a pokemon hit it and then go to the stone, its easy, i dont know why you have it at number 1, i would have put farfetched at number 1, but, i guess its just how each person plays the game, but awesome vid btw, keep up the great work

[@UtauKukai123]

as a shield player without a leek, evolving farfetch'd was annoying.. but a dire hit + razor claw did wonders in the end

[@alexvoss8567]

For anyone looking for a sirfetch’d. Here’s an easy guide, get a farfetch’d from the wild area, make sure it has a leak and knows leaf blade. Find a durant and hit it three times. Every hit should crit so all you need to do is capture it and you’re done.
