Most Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet tend to evolve once they hit a certain level. Others evolve via other means, and are designated Special Evolutions. Generally, they evolve via trading, at a certain time of day or while holding an item. Bisharp is one such Special Evolution, and will only evolve after battling a certain type of Pokémon while holding an item.
Evolving Bisharp into Kingambit is one of the most complicated evolutions we’ve seen in a Pokémon game so far. Not only do you need to get ahold of an extremely rare item, but you then need to battle a certain Pokémon that’s in a group surrounded by its lower evolution. It’s enough to make your head spin.
Here’s how to evolve Bisharp into Kingambit in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, how to get the Leader’s Crest, and more.
Where to find Bisharp
First off, you’ll need to catch a Bisharp to evolve into kingambit in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Head to the Bamboo Thicket in the Northern Province (Area Two) zone of the map. You can see it marked below:
Now, you need to catch a Bisharp that’s holding a Leader’s Crest item. Make sure it’s daytime, and get ready to catch Pokémon. Bisharp in this area will be around level 52 in this area, and will use primarily Steel, Normal and Dark-type moves.
