[[Level]]ing up is the most common trigger for evolution. Evolution by level up can be triggered by gaining [[experience]] in battle or by using a [[Rare Candy]]; leveling up in [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[PokéPelago|Isle Evelup]] will not trigger evolution, although Pokémon leveled up in these ways can still evolve if leveled up by battle or a Rare Candy afterwards. | [[Level]]ing up is the most common trigger for evolution.

All Pokémon that evolve by leveling up have at least one requirement that must be met when leveled up in order to evolve, the most common being that the Pokémon must be at least a specific level after leveling up. Other requirements include knowing a specific move, being in a specific location, or holding a specific item. A Pokémon that meets its level-up evolution requirements will always attempt to evolve when it is leveled up in battle or by using a Rare Candy, regardless of whether it had previously been prevented from evolving. | ||
If a Pokémon levels up in battle, it will not evolve until the battle is over. A Pokémon can only evolve once after a battle or consuming a Rare Candy, even if it gained multiple levels. Even if a Pokémon is fainted at the end of the battle, if it leveled up when it met its evolution requirements during the battle, it will still evolve, but will not be revived from [[fainting]]. However, prior to [[Generation VI]], the player's Pokémon would not evolve if player lost the battle, even if its evolution requirements were met. | If a Pokémon levels up in battle, it will not evolve until the battle is over.

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). | |||
