Are you looking to evolve your Misdreavus to a Mismagius? Mismagius was introduced in Generation 4 of the Pokémon series, and is a very cool Ghost-type Pokémon with a purple witch aesthetic. Misdreavus evolves into Mismagius when exposed to a Dusk Stone, and in this article, we'll teach you where to find Dusk Stones to evolve your Misdreavus, as well as give you tips on how to get a Misdreavus if you don't already have one.

Things You Should Know

  • Dusk Stones are single-use items that are used to evolve Misdreavus to Mismagius.
  • Though Misdreavus was introduced in Gen 2, you can't evolve Misdreavus to Mismagius in a Gen 2 or 3 game.
  • Misdreavus (and by extension Mismagius) are not obtainable in Sword and Shield.

    Just like other evolution stone evolutions , there's no level requirement to evolve your Misdreavus into Mismagius. [1]
    • Once you have obtained a Dusk Stone, navigate to the stone in your bag and use it on your Misdreavus.

    Dusk Stones were introduced with Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, alongside Mismagius. If you have a Misdreavus in a Generation 2 or 3 game, you cannot evolve that Misdreavus to Mismagius unless you transfer your Misdreavus to a Generation 4 or later game. [2]

    Of the games where you can catch Misdreavus, it's usually only found in a couple of locations—and many games require you to trade to get a Misdreavus. [3] Note that Misdreavus can also be found in Generation 2 and 3, but you cannot evolve a Misdreavus in these games into a Mismagius, so their locations are not included.
    • Pearl: Eterna Forest, Lost Tower (at night)
    • Heart Gold and Soul Silver: Safari Zone , Cliff Cave, Mt. Silver Cave (at night)
    • White: Abundant Shrine
    • Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire: Routes 114 and 115 (only after defeating Groudon or Kyogre)

    You can skip evolving your Misdreavus if you're playing a game where Mismagius can be found in the wild. [4] The games where you can find Mismagius in the wild and its location are as follows:
    • White: Abundant Shrine (rustling grass)
    • Sun and Moon: Poké Pelago (after becoming Champion)
