Finishing the Pokédex in any Pokémon game is challenging, and Pokémon Legends: Z-A is no different. Many Pokémon need to be traded, evolved using special stones, or meet specific conditions to evolve, making completion difficult.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A features many Pokémon that won’t evolve just by gaining levels. This is because the game includes Pokémon from across multiple generations, building on years of content. Notably, some of these Pokémon, such as Gengar and Raichu, are popular choices with fans.
I’m really excited about Pokémon Legends: Z-A and trying to catch ’em all! So, I put together a handy list of all the specific evolutions you’ll need to finish completing the Pokédex in the game. It should make things a lot easier!
All Pokémon Legends: Z-A Stone Evolutions
Pokémon Legends: Z-A features many Pokémon that evolve with Evolution Stones, and this method of evolution has been used in past games.
Evolution Stones are now much simpler to find than in previous Pokémon games. You can discover some while exploring the environment, and the rest—along with several Mega Stones—are available for purchase at the Stone Emporium.
The list below shows all of the Stone Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

All Pokémon Legends: Z-A Special Evolutions
While the Pokémon franchise has simplified how Pokémon evolve over time, many evolution methods from older games are still present in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
Some baby Pokémon evolve only when you have a strong bond with them, while others, like Eevee and Sliggoo, need specific weather conditions or times of day to evolve.

All Pokémon Legends: Z-A Trade Evolutions
Pokémon Legends: Z-A brings back the ability to evolve Pokémon through trading, a feature that wasn’t in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. And unlike some other games, you can’t bypass the online trading requirement with any special items.
To get these Pokémon, you’ll need to trade with a friend or another player—and some trades require specific items. The good news is, Pokémon you receive through trades in Legends: Z-A will gain experience faster and level up more quickly, giving you a helpful boost!
A full list of Pokémon that require Trading to evolve in Pokémon Legends: Z-A is below.
