Have you tried leveling your Tadbulb and you're wondering why it won't evolve? Pokemon Scarlet & Violet added a lot of new Pokemon , including the tadpole Pokemon Tadbulb and its frog-like evolution Bellibolt. Unfortunately Tadbulb cannot evolve by leveling, which is the standard Pokemon evolution method, but the process is still very simple. Tadbulb must be evolved with a Thunder Stone, and in this article we'll explain where you can find Tadbulb, where you can find Thunder Stones, and how to use one to evolve your Tadbulb.

Things You Should Know

  • Tadbulb can be found all over Paldea, especially in the South Province.
  • Thunder Stones can be purchased from Delibird Presents after you've gotten 3 Gym Badges, or found in various spots around the world.
  • Use the Thunder Stone on your Tadbulb to evolve it into a Bellibolt.

    Once you've gotten a Tadbulb, use a Thunder Stone on it. Your Tadbulb will evolve into the Electric-Type Bellibolt. [3]
    • If you're having trouble getting a Thunder Stone or don't want to spend the money on one, you can also find Bellibolt in the wild. Bellibolt can be found in South Province Area Four and Area Six, East Province Area Three and Tagtree Thicket, West Province Area Tow and Area Three, North Province Area Three and Glaseado Mountain. You can also find a special Bellibolt in Casseroya Lake with a Water Tera Type . [4]
