CHARCADET is a new Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet that evolves into two different Pokémon.
For many people, its evolutions, Armarouge and Ceruledge, are some of the last two Pokémon that people obtain due to the unusual method.
Armarouge is the Scarlet exclusive.
The pair appeared early in the game’s marketing, making them even more wanted by fans.
Here’s how to evolve Charcadet in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: How to catch Charcadet
The first thing you will need to do is catch yourself a Charcadet. They appear all over the map anywhere there is tall grass.
However, they are a rare spawn, as low as 1% in some areas, so they might take a while to find.
You can up your chance of finding them with the Fire Encounter Power sandwiches such as Pickle Sandwich, or Curry-and-rice-style Sandwich.
They can also appear in one- or three-star raids if you are still in the early game.
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: How to evolve Charcadet
Charcadet has a special evolution item which needs to be used on it in order for it to evolve.
Each item is exclusive to the version, making the evolutions also version-exclusive.
Violet players can catch Ceruledge by using the item Malicious Armor, while Scarlet players can get Armarouge by using the Auspicious Armor.
If you require the other version’s armor, you can get it if someone attaches it to a Pokémon in a trade, or you can catch the final forms in five-star raids.
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: How to get the Malicious and Auspicious Armor
Both sets of armour can be traded for items with a woman in Zapapico who stands near a fountain.
In Scarlet, she will trade you the Auspicious Armor for 10 Bronzor fragments, while in Violet you will get the Malicious Armor in exchange for 10 Sinistea chips.
To get these items, you simply have to battle or catch the named Pokémon.
You can buy as many suits of armour as you like, as long as you have enough fragments or chips to trade.
