Knowing a move differs from using it repeatedly; learning it does not always cause immediate evolution. ## On this page - A specific known move - A known move type ## A specific known move Pokémon: 14 Keep the required move in the moveset when meeting the evolution trigger. Relearning an eligible move can restore access; forgetting it can prevent that evolution.

A move of the right type alone is insufficient. Generations VI and VII use affection for this route; generation VIII onward uses friendship. For other move evolutions, repeated move use in Legends: Arceus and knowing the move in Scarlet/Violet can be different routes to the same result.
