Can You Evolve Avalugg? A Comprehensive Guide
The short answer is no, Avalugg does not evolve. Avalugg is the final stage evolution of Bergmite. However, the confusion arises due to its various forms and evolutions of its pre-evolution, Bergmite. This article will delve into the details of Avalugg, its evolutionary process, and address common misconceptions about this formidable Ice-type Pokémon. We’ll explore how it evolves from Bergmite, discuss its Hisuian form, and clarify other common questions about this intriguing Pokémon.
Avalugg’s Evolution: A One-Way Street
From Bergmite to Avalugg
Avalugg is the evolved form of Bergmite. Bergmite is a small, ice-covered Pokémon that, upon reaching level 37, evolves into the much larger, more imposing Avalugg. This evolution is straightforward and consistent across different Pokémon games such as Scarlet and Violet and Sword. The primary requirement for this evolution is leveling up Bergmite to level 37. Once that level is reached, the evolution into Avalugg will occur naturally.
The Hisuian Twist: Bergmite’s Alternate Evolution
It’s important to note that there is a Hisuian form of Avalugg. This form is different from the standard Avalugg and has a dual Ice/Rock typing. The key here is that the Hisuian Avalugg is not evolved from a regular Avalugg, but from a Bergmite in the Hisui region. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Bergmite evolves into Hisuian Avalugg when it’s exposed to a Mist Stone, and when leveled to 37 in Snowy Taiga Hills. So, while regular Avalugg doesn’t evolve, Bergmite does have an alternative evolutionary path in Hisui. The standard Avalugg remains a final stage evolution.

The main differences are their typing and method of evolution. Avalugg is a pure Ice-type, while Hisuian Avalugg is an Ice/Rock-type. They also have different appearances and stats. Hisuian Avalugg evolves using a Mist Stone from Bergmite and also through leveling up in specific location (Snowy Taiga Hills), whereas standard Avalugg evolves via leveling up to 37 from Bergmite.
7. Is Avalugg a good Pokémon to use?

No specific methods speed up the evolution process other than by battling with Bergmite or using Exp Candy to increase its level. The evolution is set at level 37 so there is no bypassing that.
11. Why isn’t my Bergmite evolving even at level 37?
If your Bergmite isn’t evolving at level 37, it could be that you are confusing the standard form of Avalugg with its Hisuian form. Make sure you are in the correct region. In most games, evolution occurs automatically at level 37. If you are in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Bergmite evolves into Hisuian Avalugg when exposed to a Mist Stone and leveled to 37 in Snowy Taiga Hills.

14. Is Avalugg the strongest Ice-type Pokemon?
Avalugg is a powerful physical attacker and wall with a high defense stat, however, it does not have the highest stat total of all Ice types. It has a particular weakness to special moves and is easily defeated by faster special attackers. Other Ice-type Pokemon might be considered stronger based on a player’s strategy and preferred stats.
15. Is there a specific time of day or weather condition needed for Bergmite to evolve?
The only specific condition is that Bergmite needs to be level 37 to evolve into Avalugg.

There are no other special time or weather conditions are needed for the normal evolution of Bergmite.
Conclusion

By understanding these distinctions, players can more effectively use and appreciate this unique and powerful Ice-type Pokémon. The various forms and their evolution processes create a more engaging Pokémon experience, and a challenge for players to fully explore the full extent of the Pokédex.
