Some evolutions require an item in addition to the Candy cost. All evolutions that require an [[Evolution item]] other than an [[Evolutionary stone]] (except {{p|Feebas}} and {{p|Clamperl}}) or [[Sun Stone]] to evolve in the core series require an item to be spent in Pokémon GO. For evolutions introduced in Generation II, the item required is the same as in the core series. All  [[cross-generational evolution]]s introduced in [[Generation IV]] require a [[Sinnoh Stone]] to evolve except{p|Leafeon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, {{p|Magnezone}} and {{p|Probopass}}. All evolutions introduced in Generation V that require an Evolutionary stone in the core series (except a Sun Stone) require a [[Unova Stone]] in Pokémon GO; Generation V evolutions that require a Sun Stone in the core series also require it in Pokémon GO.

Certain Pokémon can have their evolution cost reduced to zero Candy if they are traded to someone else. These include {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Machoke}}, {{p|Graveler}}, {{p|Haunter}}, {{p|Boldore}}, {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{p|Karrablast}} and {{p|Shelmet}}. This is true as of January 10, 2020.
From January 10, 2020 onward, certain Pokémon do not cost any Candy to evolve if they are traded. These Pokémon are {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Machoke}}, {{p|Graveler}}, {{p|Haunter}}, {{p|Boldore}}, {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{p|Karrablast}} and {{p|Shelmet}}.


{{p|Feebas}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Happiny}} and {{p|Woobat}} cannot be evolved until the player has walked with them as [[Buddy Pokémon]] for a certain amount of distance that varies between them. This requirement is noted under the "Evolve" button.
{{p|Feebas}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Happiny}} and {{p|Woobat}} cannot be evolved until the player has walked with them as [[Buddy Pokémon]] for a sufficient distance (the specific distance varies between species). This requirement is noted under the "Evolve" button.


For some species of Pokémon with branched evolutions, there are multiple "Evolve" buttons, allowing the player to choose which Pokémon to evolve into. The different buttons may have different requirements, such as one button requiring an item while another does not.
