Pokemon Go

Does anyone know why this is happening when I try to evolve it? I have walked 15 km already.

    You can’t evolve it while it’s still your current buddy, as that could result in a huge game breaking glitch

    I wouldn’t evolve a baby shiny. Those things are rare. You will never get them in the wild. Only way to get those is thru eggs.

  3. CDrocks87

    I think you have to change buddies

    Also for white it’s worth I evolved my shiny bonsly

  4. TolisWorld

    You can do whatever but I wouldnt evolve the shiny baby pokemon, it’s wayyyyyy rarer than it’s evolution! Id love one of those…

  5. LovesTwinks

    Why would you evolve it? It’s way more rare than seeing one in the wild

  6. SnooBooks8972

    I always just transfer the shiny I catch, bitches be ugly as fuck

    Did you hit the little dropdown button (v) next to the “Adventure together to evolve” to make sure you finished everything you needed? You have to complete stuff while he’s your buddy to evolve it.

    Game is just trying to save you from something you might regret later.

  9. Big-Spiff

    The game seems to be working in your favor

    Don’t evolve it! That’s just plain wrong!

  11. elpajaroquemamais

    As your buddy. And this is way more rate than the evo

  12. FI5H5TICK5

    Because it obviously needs to stay as bonsly

  13. xCrystalAnn

    It’s Niantic’s way of saying that you should keep it as it is. Shiny sudoowoodo will be way easier to get. : )

  14. Gamora3728

    Is it your buddy? If so you need to switch it.

  15. You need to un-equip it as your buddy first

  16. ZookeepergameIcy1830

    You have to stop being best friend with him, then he will evolve. I did it with my panda

  17. yankeephil86

    I had issues trying to evolve them when they’re still a buddy. Try swapping buddies, then try again

  18. Pushin_t405

    It’s because you’re on a Samsung. 🙃

  19. MrAlmondCranCrunch

    You should keep him! Much more rare than shiny sudowoodo

  20. HooverDawg13

    Sorry you didn’t pay Niantic your weekly hundred dollars for coins. You don’t get to play the game anymore

  21. GalayStAr

    can’t have it as your buddy while you evolve it

  22. studiohalo

    Are you currently in a party? I get that on a lot of things whilst in a party. Opening/sending gifts, gbl etc. I can’t complete a gbl battle at all whilst in a party, it freezes before the end every time.

    He just has the same vibe as Ash’s Pikachu

    I had this same problem a few days ago trying to evolve a Pawmo, restarting the game didn’t fix it but when I tried again after the daily reset it worked, seems to be an issue with pokemon with buddy requirements to evolve.

    If you haven’t gotten an answer, there is a bug where you can’t evolve a buddy via walking, once you get it to whatever KM you need, switch buddies, then evolve, you can switch it back if you want it as your buddy.

  27. No_Drop_7601

    Unequipt it as youre buddy you ding dong

  28. 0hHowTheTurnTables

    He has to be actively out on your map. So give him some berry’s and the evolve button will show up

  29. Bluech33se_YT

    You have to take it off as your buddy then you can evolve it!😁

  30. It’s a bug. Un-buddy it and it’ll work *but* don’t evolve a baby shiny please

  31. dangerkart

    omg do not evolve this!!!

    edit: only a noob would downvote this — shiny sudowoodo is so much more common but babies only hatch from eggs!!

  32. BrusselWestbrook

    Because it’s still your buddy. Don’t listen to everyone else, do what you want.

  33. anxiousfox7

    Don’t evolve the shiny baby. I made the mistake of evolving my shiny elekid. Haven’t hatched another since 2019.

  34. Merchantsdaughter

    Don’t do it!!! Bonsly is super cute! Sudowoodo you can find in the wild but bonsly is egg only. Deep regret henceforth if you evo
