Evolving Pokemon isn’t always as simple as leveling them up until they do so. Sometimes, you’ll need to use a hold item or evolution stone in order to cause a Pokemon to evolve. In this guide, we’ll be talking you through how to evolve Electabuzz into Electivire in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, so you can add this Electric-type to your Pokedex.
Evolving Electabuzz into Electivire in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl
To evolve Electabuzz into Electivire, you need to trade Electabuzz while it’s holding an Electrizer.
When you do, once the trade has completed, Electabuzz will immediately evolve. If you want your Pokemon back, you’ll need to get them to trade it back, so we recommend doing this with a trusted friend.
However, both Electabuzz and its previous evolution, Elekid are exclusive to Pokemon Brilliant Diamond, and so those playing Shining Pearl will need to get someone to trade with them.
Getting Elekid
As noted, both Elekid and Electabuzz are exclusive to Pokemon Brilliant Diamond.
Elekid can be found in the following locations:
- Stargleam Cavern
- Snow Cave
- Glacial Cavern
- Crystal Cave
Elekid has a 5% chance of holding the Electrizer item you’ll need to equip to a Electabuzz when trading to make it evolve into Electivire in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl.
Elekid evolves into Electabuzz at Level 30. You can use EXP Share to help you level it up faster, as well as Rare Candies.
