Tips for this line
- Meet every requirement shown for the path, not just the level. Some paths also need friendship, a move, a held item or a particular time.
- If it needs a stone, those are mined as ore or crafted. Some have biome bias, so a stone you cannot find is usually in a biome you have not visited.
- If it needs friendship, walking with it and levelling it up both build that. A Soothe Bell speeds it up and Luxury or Friend Balls start it higher.
- If it needs a trade, a Link Cable simulates one so you do not need a partner.
- An Everstone blocks evolution if you want to keep the current form.
