Things You Should Know

You must walk 1,000 steps with Pawmo in Let's Go mode for it to be able to evolve.
After you've walked with your Pawmo, you must level it up before it will evolve.
If Pawmo returns to its Pokeball while you are walking with it the step count does not reset, but you must send it back out in Let's Go mode to resume walking.

Make sure Pawmo is the first Pokemon in your party, otherwise it won't get sent out when you enter Let's Go mode.

1
Find an open area in a city. Look for a spot without items that Pawmo could get stuck on.
- Avoid areas with wild Pokemon to avoid entering battles.

Run for two minutes straight. If Pawmo goes back into its Pokeball you must send it back out, as it won't evolve if it's not in Let's Go mode.
- If Pawmo retreats to its ball, you may need to run longer than two minutes to ensure you've gotten enough steps.
Pawmo should evolve into Pawmot if you did this method correctly.

You must have unlocked the ability to ride Koraidon in Pokemon Scarlet or Miraidon in Pokemon Violet, which occurs once you leave the Academy for the first time and get all three main questlines.
You can unlock high jumping on Koraidon or Miraidon after defeating the Lurking Steel Titan.
Pawmo will run around the perimeter of the Pokemon Center while you're on top of it, looking for you. These steps count towards the 1,000 step count, though this method could take up to 10 minutes to complete.
If your Pawmo took enough steps, it should evolve into Pawmot.
