Some Pokémon evolve when they are leveled up with a [[friendship]] of at least 220. Like friendship itself, this method was introduced in [[Generation II]]. As long as the Pokémon has the required amount of friendship, unless there are other requirements for its evolution, it will attempt to evolve whenever it levels up by battle or Rare Candy.

[[Baby Pokémon]] often have this evolution requirement, but it is also an evolution requirement for other Pokémon, and not all baby Pokémon have this as an evolution requirement.

Some Pokémon evolve when they are leveled up and know a certain move or certain type of move. This evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation IV]].


If the Pokémon learns the required move by leveling up, that same level up can trigger the evolution. However, if a Pokémon learns a move by level up and overwrites the required move, such that it no longer knows the required move at the end of the battle (or after completing the level up in the case of a Rare Candy), it cannot evolve.

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.

Some Pokémon evolve when they are leveled up in a specific [[region]]. This evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation VII]].
Pokémon that evolve this way may also need other conditions, such as requiring it to be a specific time of day. Some Pokémon evolve into different forms depending on what region they are in.

The time of day is only ever one of several requirements, never the only one. Other requirements it is combined with include having high [[friendship]] or holding a specific [[held item]].

While most Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone have no additional requirements, some Pokémon can evolve into a different form when they use an evolutionary stone in a specific [[region]]. This evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation VII]].

In [[Pokémon GO]], the only way to evolve Pokémon is to press the "Evolve" button on that Pokémon's profile page. All Pokémon require the player spend a specific amount of their own Candy to evolve them, but some have additional requirements.

Some evolutions require an item in addition to the Candy cost. All evolutions that require an [[evolution-inducing held item]] (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 [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|cross-generational evolution]]s introduced in [[Generation IV]] (except location-based evolutions) require a [[Sinnoh Stone]] to evolve. 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.

{{p|Feebas}} cannot be evolved until the player has walked with it as the [[Buddy Pokémon]] for 20&nbsp;km. This requirement is noted under the "Evolve" button.

Pokémon with location-based evolutions in the core series games normally require the player to be in range of a special [[Lure Module]] in order to evolve. {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}} require a [[Magnetic Lure Module]] to evolve, while Eevee normally requires a [[Glacial Lure Module]] or [[Mossy Lure Module]] to evolve into {{p|Glaceon}} or {{p|Leafeon}}, respectively. Evolutions that are region-specific in the core series games are not possible in Pokémon GO; the evolved form can only be obtained by catching it or trading for it.


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.
