Pokemon Sword & Shield: How to Evolve Rolycoly Into Carkol

This article is over 5 years old and may contain outdated information

Just as in all Pokemon games, Trainers will need to familiarize themselves with evolving Pokemon if they’re to complete their Pokedex. Not all Pokemon are evolved in the same way, though, so here’s how to evolve Rolycoly in Carkol in Pokemon Sword & Shield if you’re not sure.

Where to Catch Rolycoly

Before you get a Carkol you’re going to need to catch a Rolycoly first. Rolycoly can be found in a number of places, including Galar Mine, Motostoke Outskirts, and Motostoke Riverbank, but for the best chances of a spawn, head to Route 3.

Once you have your Rolycoly you’re ready to evolve it into a Carkol.

How to Evolve Rolycoly in Carcoal in Pokemon Sword & Shield

Rolycoly will evolve into Carkol naturally once it has reached level 18, so it’s simply a case of building the experience of your Rolycoly.

Of course, all Pokemon level-up after being used in battle, but you can always use experience candy to level them more quickly. Candy comes in different sizes that each give a different XP boost, which is as follows:

  • XL – 30000
  • L – 10000
  • M – 3000
  • S – 800
  • XS – 100

What makes Rolycoly slightly different from other Pokemon in Sword & Shield is that it has multiple evolutions. Carkol is only the second evolution in the cycle; you’ll be able to evolve Carkol into Coalossal after Carkol for an even more powerful Pokemon.
