Due to link caps, and most evolutions triggering on stat thresholds, certain Pokémon linked to this Warrior require high IVs to evolve.

Evolution eligibility in this table assumes the following:

  •   Max Energy multiplier of 1.1× applied to stats.
  • The full range of 0-31 IVs is considered. (Default Pokémon have 15 IVs in every stat, while wild Pokémon can have 0-31 IVs)

Notes:

  • Passwords can bypass normal availability checks in any story.
  • Pokémon marked with an asterisk (*) next to their password eligibility require an unofficial password.
  • "Direct link" means linking to that exact Pokémon in the wild, as opposed to evolving a previous form of it.

Trivia

Historical origin

Tadakatsu is based on the real-life Honda Tadakatsu of Japanese history, who had a reputation of being an unbeatable samurai - evading all injury across his many battles. This earned him recognition from influential figures of the time, such as Nobunaga (Oda Nobunaga), Hideyoshi (Toyotomi Hideyoshi), and Shingen (Takeda Shingen).

His Steel specialty in Conquest may reference his service under Ieyasu.
