How to evolve Swirlix in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Some evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A aren't as simple as leveling up your Pokémon, and Swirlix is one of such 'mons. To evolve Swirlix into the adorable Slurpuff, you'll need to track down a specific item – Whipped Dream – before then tracking down a trustworthy trade partner that's also playing Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

To help you fill out your Pokédex with Slurpuff's entry, here's how to evolve Swirlix in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

How to evolve Swirlix in Pokémon Legends Z-A

To evolve Swirlix in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, you'll need to catch one first. Fortunately, Swirlix is often found around Lumiose City, hanging out atop food and market stalls. That said, these locations often alternate between having a Swirlix or a Spritzee in them, so bear that in mind.

One location in which I was able to find Swirlix was atop the market stalls adjacent to Nouveau Cafe (Truck No. 2) in Bleu Sector 5. You can even find one directly atop the Nouveau Cafe Truck here if you're lucky, so keep your eyes peeled.

Once you have a Swirlix that you're ready to evolve, you must equip the Whipped Dream item to it as a Held Item. If you don't yet have this item, here's where to get Whipped Dream in Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

If you then trade your Swirlix while it is holding the Whipped Dream, it will evolve into Slurpuff upon arrival with your trade partner. You'll then need your trade partner to send the Pokémon back to you if you wish to add them to your own Pokédex and keep them.

If you're struggling to find someone to trade with, you can try Trade Codes that have been set up for all Trade Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Just be careful when trading online with strangers!

Good luck evolving Swirlix in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
