PokéSurvivor move evolutions & requirement checker

Reference reviewed

Max the move, take its required stat upgrade in the same run, then choose the golden evolution card. Meeting the conditions makes an evolution eligible; it does not automatically evolve the move.

Check your next evolution

Select what you have in this run. This checker does not access your game save.

If the golden card is missing

  1. Check the move is at its maximum level.
  2. Check the exact prerequisite in the table; different moves need different stat cards.
  3. Confirm you took that stat card in this run, rather than an unrelated permanent upgrade.
  4. Keep leveling and look for the separate golden card. An already evolved move cannot evolve again.

Buffs have no evolution. Learning another move is different from evolving one you already have.
