In any "Pokemon" game, you don't only need to catch them all, you also have to make them stronger. Here are some tips on how to evolve your little critters in "Pokemon GO."

Why Do I Need To Evolve Them?

Sure that Eevee looks cute now, but at higher levels, you would need to have access to more powerful Pokemon. An evolved Pokemon will not only have higher stats, it will also help you defend your gym.

How Do I Evolve My Pokemon?

Evolving a Pokemon requires a specific amount of candy, depending on which Pokemon you are trying to evolve. Some would need only 12 candies to evolve, like Weedle and Pidgey, while some require a hefty amount of 400, like Magikarp.

For the complete list, check out dedicated Pokemon site Serebii.Net.

Where Do I Get Candies?

Here are some of the things you can do to gain candies:

1. Catching a Pokemon would give you three candies for that specific monster.
2. Transferring a Pokemon to Professor Willow gives you one candy.
3. Hatching eggs will give between ten to thirty candies.

The most effective method is to hatch as many eggs as possible. The number of candies will be given randomly, and is usually based on the hatched Pokemon's Combat Points.

I Want To Evolve My Eevee To A Specific Pokemon; Can I Do That?

While other Pokemon evolutions are pretty much straightforward, it is a different issue for Eevee. Eevee needs 25 Eevee Candies to evolve, however, contrary to rumors and speculations, there is no way to determine what Pokemon it will evolve into.

This rumor was recently debunked by numerous sites, including Youtuber King Bejita. Check out his video here.

To simplify, your beloved Eevee may either turn into Jolteon, Vaporeon, or Flareon, and it is completely random.

400 Candies for Gyarados: Is It Worth It?

Yes, you read that right. If you managed to catch a Magikarp during your travels, then you should know by now that it needs a hefty 400 Magikarp Candies to evolve into the mighty Gyarados.

A Reddit user already did the impossible feat, evolving his weak 63 CP Magikarp into a 728 CP Gyarados.

Magikarps are commonly found near bodies of water, so to get a Gyarados, you would need to spend a bit of time near lakes and oceans. You would need at least 100 Magikarps to get that much candy. Good luck!
