Evolving Your Pocket Monster
Reach the level, hold the right stone, and press Evolve — you're always in control.
Evolution in PokeAFK is always your choice: it never happens automatically. When a pocket monster meets every requirement, an Evolve button appears on its card — open the pocket monster from your team or depot and press it. Evolving fully heals the pocket monster and keeps its level, EXP, IVs, moves, and Original Trainer.
Every evolution has a minimum level, and many also require an evolution stone, consumed on use. There are three kinds of evolutions:
Level evolutions need only training — for example Charmander becomes Charmeleon at Lv 16 and Charizard at Lv 36.
Stone evolutions need a minimum level AND an elemental stone: Fire, Water, Thunder, Leaf, or Moon (Lv 20 for most species; Lv 25 for Eevee's three branches — the stone you use decides whether Eevee becomes Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon).
Link Stone evolutions cover the four species that traditionally evolve by trading — Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler, and Haunter evolve at Lv 36 with a Link Stone.
Stones are sold at the Evolution Emporium in the city (the Moon Stone is a rare find, not sold). Each pocket monster's wiki page lists exactly what its next form requires.
