Starting in [[Generation VIII]], if a [[Rare Candy]] is used on a level 100 Pokémon that evolves by leveling up and currently meets its evolution requirements, it will evolve (without gaining a level). | Starting in [[Generation VIII]], if a [[Rare Candy]] is used on a level 100 Pokémon that evolves by leveling up and currently meets its evolution requirements, it will evolve (without gaining a level). | ||
In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], evolution can be performed at any time, so long as the conditions are met, instead of requiring a level up. | |||

There are four different types of location that can trigger location-based evolutions: [[Moss Rock]], [[Ice Rock]], [[special magnetic field]], and [[Mount Lanakila]]. Mount Lanakila, which is only required for {{p|Crabrawler}}'s evolution, is the only one which is a specific location rather than a type of location, due to Crabrawler so far having only appeared in a single region. | There are four different types of location that can trigger location-based evolutions: [[Moss Rock]], [[Ice Rock]], [[special magnetic field]], and [[Mount Lanakila]].

In every core series game with the exception of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, all Pokémon existing in the game that can be evolved into by a location-specific evolution are provided with either the necessary location, or an alternative method for the evolution. [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] added alternative methods for {{p|Magneton}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Charjabug}} to evolve using [[Evolution stone]]s. | In every core series game with the exception of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, all Pokémon existing in the game that can be evolved into by a location-specific evolution are provided with either the necessary location, or an alternative method for the evolution.

Some Pokémon evolve when they are exposed to a specific item. The player can use one of these items on a compatible Pokémon at any time outside of battle, which consumes the item. From Generation IV onwards, evolution by exposure to an item cannot be prevented by holding an [[Everstone]]. Due to being able to evolve at any time, these Pokémon usually learn fewer or no moves by level up after evolving; however, in Generation VIII, even if they do not learn any additional moves by level-up, they normally can still be taught any move their pre-evolved form could learn by level up by the [[Move Reminder]]. | Some Pokémon evolve when they are exposed to a specific item.
