Has your Pawmi finally evolved into a Pawmo, but you haven't been able to evolve it once more into a Pawmot? The method to evolve Pawmo into Pawmot is brand new to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: you must walk with your Pokémon for it to evolve. While the most basic method is to simply walk 1,000 steps, Pokémon players have found three effective ways to make this task a bit easier. We've gathered these three easy methods to help you evolve your Pawmo into Pawmot, so keep reading to learn more.

Things You Should Know

• You must walk 1,000 steps with Pawmo in Let's Go mode for it to be able to evolve.
• After you've walked with your Pawmo, you must level it up before it will evolve.
• If Pawmo returns to its Poké Ball while you are walking with it the step count does not reset, but you must send it back out in Let's Go mode to resume walking.

Run for Two Minutes Method

   Send out Pawmo in Let's Go mode.

   High jump on top of any Pokémon Center. You can unlock high jumping on Koraidon or Miraidon after defeating the Lurking Steel Titan.
