Pokémon That Evolve by Location or Game

Sources checked: September 24, 2026

A landmark, region or game version can determine an evolution route. These are different restrictions: a method being supported by a game does not automatically make its result version-exclusive.

Specific areas and landmarks

Pokémon: 7

Older magnetic-field and evolution-rock methods may have stone alternatives in later games. Kubfu interacts with a Tower scroll in Sword/Shield, whereas Scarlet/Violet uses portable scroll items; the latter belongs in the item guide.

Sources disagree on accumulated damage versus currently missing HP and the precise threshold. Do not treat this as an executable counter until verified.

Regional evolution results

Pokémon: 12

Pikachu and Exeggcute can produce Alolan final forms when evolved in Alola. Moving an already evolved Pokémon into that region does not repeat its evolution or change its result; regional-source evolutions are a separate related guide.

Paired game versions

Cosmoem has different final evolutions in paired versions. Rockruff’s Midday/Midnight split is version-dependent in Sun/Moon and Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, but Sword/Shield and Scarlet/Violet allow both; Dusk uses Own Tempo and time instead.
