Players eager to transform their Bisharp into Kingambit in Pokémon Go can now do so, provided they complete a series of raids first.
Kingambit, initially introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, featured a distinct evolution method in the core games.

However, the evolution process in Pokémon Go is much simpler.
Here’s a guide on how to evolve Bisharp into Kingambit and tips on locating Pawniard in Pokémon Go.
