Has your Pawmi finally evolved into a Pawmo, but you haven't been able to evolve it once more into a Pawmot? The method to evolve Pawmo into Pawmot is brand new to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: you must walk with your Pokemon for it to evolve. While the most basic method is to simply walk 1,000 steps, Pokemon players have found three effective ways to make this task a bit easier. We've gathered these three easy methods to help you evolve your Pawmo into Pawmot, so keep reading to learn more.

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.

    There is no step tracker in the game, so knowing when you've taken 1,000 steps can be a bit tricky. [1]

    You can level up Pawmo using a Rare Candy or by getting experience through battling.
    • Pawmo evolves at level 18 to its mid-evolution, Pawmot.
    • Pawmo will not evolve if you use auto battles to gain experience.

    These methods will help you easily track when you've hit the 1,000 step marker so you know when to level up your Pawmo to evolve it.

    The lighthouse is at the north end of the route. [2]

    Other users have found that running around the top of the lighthouse 7 times equals about 1,000 steps, which is exactly enough to evolve Pawmo. [3]
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/04\/Evolve-Pawmo-Step-9.jpg\/v4-460px-Evolve-Pawmo-Step-9.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/04\/Evolve-Pawmo-Step-9.jpg\/v4-728px-Evolve-Pawmo-Step-9.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    If you did this method correctly, Pawmo should evolve into Pawmot.

    Look for a spot without items that Pawmo could get stuck on.
    • Avoid areas with wild Pokemon to avoid entering battles.

    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.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/39\/Evolve-Pawmo-Step-13.jpg\/v4-460px-Evolve-Pawmo-Step-13.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/39\/Evolve-Pawmo-Step-13.jpg\/v4-728px-Evolve-Pawmo-Step-13.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    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.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/35\/Evolve-Pawmo-Step-17.jpg\/v4-460px-Evolve-Pawmo-Step-17.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/35\/Evolve-Pawmo-Step-17.jpg\/v4-728px-Evolve-Pawmo-Step-17.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    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.
