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.

    • Violet: South Province Areas One, Two, Three, Four, Five, and Six; East Province Area Two and Tagtree Thicket; West Province Area One; North Province Dalizapa Passage and Glaseado Mountain; 2-star Tera Raid Battles
  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)
