Players eager to transform their Bisharp into Kingambit in Pokémon Go can finally do so, but first, you’ll need to complete several raids.
Kingambit, which made its debut in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, features a distinct evolution method in the core series. In the main games, you typically have to take down three Bisharp holding the Leader’s Crest with your own Bisharp and then level it up. However, the evolution requirement in Pokémon Go is much simpler.
Here’s a guide on how to evolve Bisharp into Kingambit and where to find Pawniard in Pokémon Go.
How to evolve Bisharp into Kingambit in Pokémon Go
To evolve Bisharp into Kingambit, you’ll need to defeat 15 dark- or steel-type Pokémon in raids while having Bisharp as your buddy. You don’t have to use Bisharp in the battles; just ensure it’s set as your buddy during the raids. Once you’ve completed this requirement, you can evolve it through the usual menu by spending 100 Pawniard Candy.
How to obtain Pawniard and Bisharp in Pokémon Go
Pawniard typically hatches from 12 km eggs (the ones earned by defeating Team Go Rocket Leaders), but you can also find them in 7 km eggs obtained from completing Routes.
During the ongoing “Crown Clash” event, you may also acquire Pawniard through these methods:
To evolve Pawniard into Bisharp, you simply need to use 50 Pawniard Candy, with no additional requirements.
Can Pawniard, Bisharp, and Kingambit be shiny in Pokémon Go?
