Why is my Girafarig not evolving?

Your Girafarig is not evolving because it has not learned the Psychic-type signature move called Twin Beam, which it learns at level 32, or if it has learned Twin Beam but is above level 32, it won’t evolve until you level it up again. To evolve Girafarig into Farigiraf, you need to teach it Twin Beam and then level it up once, ensuring that the evolution occurs through manual encounters, as auto battling may prevent the evolution from happening.

Understanding Girafarig Evolution

Introduction to Girafarig Evolution

Girafarig evolution is a straightforward process that requires the Pokémon to learn a specific move and reach a certain level. Twin Beam is the key to evolving Girafarig into Farigiraf, and this move is learned at level 32.

Evolution Process

To evolve Girafarig, you must first ensure it learns Twin Beam at level 32. After learning this move, you simply need to level Girafarig up once, and it will evolve into Farigiraf. It’s essential to note that if your Girafarig is above level 32 and hasn’t learned Twin Beam, you’ll need to teach it this move and then level it up again for the evolution to occur.

Specific Pokémon Evolution

4. How do you evolve Foongus? Evolving Foongus in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet is done by getting the Pokémon to Level 39. Players can do this by having Foongus in the party when battling, as EXP Share is now a standard Pokémon feature, or by using EXP/Rare Candies.

Evolution Mechanics

7. Is there a downside to not evolving Pokémon? While trainers are free to pass on the option to evolve their Pokémon, doing so comes with its own set of challenges. Unevolved Pokémon have to train twice as hard just to keep up with evolved Pokémon, as their stats gain fewer boosts when they level.
8. What happens if you fully power up a Pokémon before evolving? A Pokémon’s CP potential and IVs are not affected by evolution: IVs (Attack, Defense, Stamina values hidden in the game) and CP potential (the max CP that can be reached when fully powered up) remains the same regardless of whether you Power Up before or after evolving.

Regional and Mega Evolutions

9. Is Farigiraf a regional evolution? Farigiraf is a regional evolution for Girafarig, resulting from its evolution where the head of its main body and the head from its tail have become one.
10. Does Girafarig have a mega evolution? Delta Girafarig can Mega Evolve into Mega Delta Girafarig using the Delta Etigirafarigite.

Pokémon Go and Other Games

11. Is there a shiny Girafarig in Pokémon Go? Shiny Girafarig was released back in February 2022 as part of Pokémon Go Tour: Johto, along with other shiny Pokémon.
12. Why did my Shellder not evolve? Shellder can be evolved into Cloyster at any level by using a Water Stone. The Pokémon will not evolve through leveling up.

Leveling and Evolution

13. Can you evolve a level 100 Pokémon with a stone? In the case of the Pokémon themselves, you can evolve any at level 100, provided they are the type of Pokémon that evolve via stones.
14. Do Pokémon level up faster if they don’t evolve? In some games, unevolved Pokémon require less EXP to level up, making raising unevolved Pokémon faster than raising evolved Pokémon, as the EXP curve is more steep as well.

Miscellaneous

15. Should I evolve Pokémon before level 30? Generally, it’s not necessary to evolve Pokémon before level 30, as a Pokémon’s stats will catch up once it evolves, no matter how long you hold it off, except in specific cases where evolving earlier provides significant benefits, such as learning important moves sooner.
