Unlocking Wyrdeer: A Comprehensive Guide to Evolving Stantler

▶

Stantler doesn’t evolve at a specific level. Instead, to evolve Stantler into Wyrdeer in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you need to have it use the move Psyshield Bash in Agile Style a total of 20 times. It’s important to note that Stantler learns Psyshield Bash at level 21 but you need to get it to level 31 so it can master the move. Once this condition is met, you can trigger the evolution from the menu.

Evolving Stantler: A Step-by-Step Guide

Evolving Pokémon can often seem like a straightforward process of leveling up, but some Pokémon have more unique evolution methods. Stantler’s evolution into Wyrdeer falls into this category. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how to achieve this evolution:

1. Catch a Stantler: The first step, naturally, is to acquire a Stantler. They can be found in areas like the Obsidian Fieldlands in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

2. Level Up and Learn Psyshield Bash: Stantler learns Psyshield Bash naturally at level 21. Ensure your Stantler reaches this level through battles and other activities.

3. Master Psyshield Bash: Level up your Stantler to Level 31 to master the move, Psyshield Bash.

4. Use Psyshield Bash in Agile Style 20 Times: Once Stantler knows Psyshield Bash and you have mastered the move, the real work begins. You need to use this move in Agile Style during battles a total of 20 times. Agile Style is selected during battle before using the move; it prioritizes speed, potentially allowing Stantler to act again sooner, but reduces the move’s power.

5. Evolution Unlocked: After successfully using Psyshield Bash in Agile Style 20 times, a notification will appear, indicating that Stantler is now ready to evolve into Wyrdeer.

6. Evolve Stantler: Open your menu, select Stantler, and choose the “Evolve” option. Congratulations, you now have a Wyrdeer!

Agile Style: A Crucial Component

Understanding the Agile Style is crucial for evolving Stantler. When selecting a move during battle, you’ll notice the option to use it in either Strong Style or Agile Style. Agile Style prioritizes speed over power, which can be advantageous in certain situations. It’s also the way to evolve Stantler.
