In Pokémon GO the release of the new Pokémon from Generation 7 is just around the corner. First findings show how expensive the new developments will be. We at MeinMMO have looked at what you need for your Alolan Pokémon and what special features there will be.
What kind of Pokémon are we talking about? The season of origin is soon coming to an end, and just in time for the beginning of the month, the season in Pokémon GO will also change. From March to May, everything will revolve around the Alolan season, which, as the name suggests, will bring you numerous new Pokémon from Generation 7.
A first insight into the new Alolan Pokémon has already been provided by Niantic via the Pokémon GO Twitter account. Of course, these monsters will also have one or two evolutions. The PokeMiners have now found initial information about how expensive these will be and what items you will need for evolution.
Since these findings are not official information from Pokémon GO, Niantic may change this data at any time or decide against a publication. For this reason, you should always view such findings with a degree of skepticism.
All findings regarding the evolution of Alolan Pokémon
In their last search of the Pokémon GO game code, the PokeMiners stumbled upon interesting information about Generation 7, which will be gradually introduced into the game over the coming weeks.
It is noticeable that for some of the new monsters you will need items or have to spend a bit more candy to evolve them. There will also be further special features. In the following overview, you can see what you need to prepare for (via pokeminers.com):
| Evolutions | Costs |
| Akkup to Donarion | 100 candies + Magnet Lure Module |
| Krabbox to Krawell | 50 candies + Ice Lure Module |
| Wuffels to Wolweriock (Day form) | 50 candies + (only possible during the day) |
| Wuffels to Wolweriock (Night form) | 50 candies + (only possible at night) |
| Molunk to Amfira | 50 candies (only female form possible) |
| Velursi to Kosturso | 400 candies |
| Reißlaus to Tectass | 400 candies |
| Typ:Null to Amigento | 200 candies |
| Cosmovum to Solgaleo | 100 candies (only possible during the day) |
| Cosmovum to Lunala | 100 candies (only possible at night) |
| Venicro to Agoyon | 200 candies |
As you can see, you will need plenty of candies for some of the specimens. Once the corresponding monsters are in the game, it’s advisable to catch as many of them as possible. However, when that will be is not known at this time.
Of course, we will keep you informed here on MeinMMO as soon as there is new information about the upcoming season, so it’s worth following us.
Which Pokémon from Gen 7 are they?
Some trainers are certainly wondering what kind of Pokémon these actually are. Below we have created a brief overview to introduce you to the aforementioned monsters:
Akkup and Donarion
Akkup is a Bug and Electric type Pokémon. It has the pre-evolution Mabula and evolves into Donarion. All three evolutionary stages belong to Generation 7.
Krabbox and Krawell
Another monster from the Alola region is the Fighting-type Pokémon Krabbox. It evolves into Krawell, which is a Fighting and Ice type. Externally, you can recognize it by its purple body and distinctive blue claws. Its evolution resembles a kind of yeti with crab legs.
Wuffels and Wolferock
The Rock-type Pokémon Wuffels has already been officially announced by Pokémon GO. It evolves into Wolwerock, which has several forms. According to the findings of the PokeMiners, there will be both a day form and a night form, although this has not yet been officially confirmed by Niantic.
Molunk and Amfira
The lizard-like Pokémon Molunk is Poison and Fire type and resembles a salamander with a crocodile head. Its body is black, and a red stripe adorns its back and tail. Female specimens can evolve into Amfira, which is also Poison and Fire type.
Velursi and Kosturso
With the introduction of Generation 7, you will likely encounter the small, cute panda-like monster Velursi. It is Normal and Fighting type. Furthermore, it can evolve into Kosturso, which will cost you some candies.
Reißlaus and Tectass
Another Bug Pokémon from the Alola region is Reißlaus. The Bug and Water type monster evolves into Tectass. With its silver body, it resembles a silverfish. The prominent features are the purple front, tail, and antennae.
Typ:Null and Amigento
Typ:Null is yet another legendary Pokémon of the Normal type. Unlike most other legendary monsters, it can actually evolve. So you can likely evolve it into Amigento for 200 candies. This one is also a Normal type.
Cosmovum, Solgaleo and Lunala
In addition to Typ:Null and Amigento, the Alola region features another legendary monster with its evolutions: Cosmovum. This Psychic-type Pokémon can evolve into Solgaleo and Lunala depending on the time of day. Additionally, it has a pre-evolution: Cosmog.
These evolutions also differ significantly in appearance. While Cosmog has a cloud-like purple body, Cosmovum visually resembles a golden eye with a purple, star-decorated iris and a black pupil.
Solgaleo, which you can evolve during the day, resembles a large white lion with a long mane adorned with yellow and red accents. Lunala, on the other hand, resembles a bat. Its wings and body are purple, and the tips of the wings, as well as the tail and head, are adorned with golden sickles.
Venicro and Agoyon
Another special feature that the Alola region has is Venicro. Unlike the other monsters, it is an Ultra Beast of the Poison type. It can evolve into Agoyon, which is also an Ultra Beast. Agoyon belongs to the Poison and Dragon types. You can recognize it by its distinctive purple appearance.
Ultra Beasts are mysterious Pokémon. Unlike other Pokémon, they tend to be more aggressive and possess enormous powers.
What do you think about the findings of the PokeMiners? Do you think it’s good that the requirements for evolution for some of the Pokémon from Generation 7 are so high? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange thoughts with other trainers.
