How to evolve Charcadet into Ceruledge or Armarouge in Pokemon GO
In order to evolve Charcadet into one of its two evolutions, players must first make Charcadet their buddy Pokemon. After that, players must defeat 30 of a specific type of Pokemon. The type differs depending on which Charcadet evolution players want.
| Pokemon | Evo Method |
|---|---|
 Armarouge | With Charcadet as your buddy, defeat 30 Psychic-type Pokemon |
 Ceruledge | With Charcadet as your buddy, defeat 30 Ghost-type Pokemon |
Note: Charcadet does not have to be the Pokemon that defeats the 30 Pokemon
Do You Need Auspicious or Malicious Armor in Pokemon GO?
No, Charcadet does not require a specific item to evolve like it does in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. The only way to evolve Charcadet in Pokemon GO is through battling using the method above.
Several Pokemon in Pokemon GO do require an item – such as a Sinnoh Stone – but Ceruledge and Armarouge can only be obtained through combat.
