In Pokémon GO, trainers want to evolve Parfi. To do this, you actually need to use a smoke, but there is a trick for it. We will show you all the information about the Parfi evolution.
What’s going on in Pokémon GO? Along with Xerneas, some Pokémon from Generation 6 returned to Pokémon GO. Among them is the small Parfi, which is of the Fairy type. You can evolve Parfi into Parfinesse by using a smoke.
Anyone who prefers to save the smoke can resort to a trick and unlock the evolution with it.
Evolving Parfi – The Requirements
What you need to do: Parfi forms the base form of Parfinesse. However, to obtain a Parfinesse, you need to make a few preparations for the evolution. In the main Pokémon games, Parfi is evolved by trading it with other trainers. In Pokémon GO, though, the mechanics have changed.
In the game, it says Go on adventures together to trigger the evolution.
Then, when you tap the evolution button, the error message Complete a challenge with this buddy
appears. In Pokémon GO, it works like this:
- Use Parfi as your buddy Pokémon
- Use a smoke
- You can now evolve Parfi into Parfinesse by pressing the evolution button on Parfi
The evolution will cost you 50 Parfi candies. Anyone who doesn’t want to spend a smoke for the evolution and wants to save this item can use a trick.
Tip: To change your buddy, tap on the small photo of your buddy on the main screen and scroll all the way down. There you will find the button Switch buddy
.
Use the free Meltan Box (Wonder Box) and save smoke
This is the trick: Right now, anyone can unlock the Meltan Box (Wonder Box) for free in Pokémon GO and activate it every three days. It works similarly to a regular smoke and unlocks the evolution for Parfi just the same. This way, you bypass using the normal smoke and use a rechargeable item instead.
For this, set Parfi as your buddy, ignite the Meltan Box, and then start the evolution normally with Parfi.
This is how you get the free Meltan Box: To get the box for free and without using a Nintendo Switch, you just need to follow a few steps. For this, download Pokémon Home, create a free account, and then connect it with Pokémon GO. You can transfer one Pokémon every 3 days to receive or activate a Meltan Box.
We will show you step by step how to get free Meltan Boxes in Pokémon GO.
We from MeinMMO have tried the trick ourselves and can confirm that the Wonder Box works as a substitute for the smoke. Whether this possibility will last forever or Niantic will adjust something and negate this trick cannot be said at the moment. As soon as something changes, we will update the article. Speaking of evolutions: Do you already know all tricks to evolve Eevee in Pokémon GO specifically?
