Mastering Evolution in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: Unveiling the Secrets of Seedot's Transformation into Nuzleaf and Shiftry

The Teal Mask DLC enhances Pokemon Scarlet and Violet by introducing new elements such as an engaging storyline, a vibrant region, and an array of new Pokemon to capture. Among these additions is Seedot, a Grass-type Pokemon.

Although Seedot initially made its debut in Generation Three, it has made appearances in numerous titles thereafter. Despite its unassuming appearance as an acorn Pokemon, its evolutionary line boasts remarkably powerful Pokemon. Players of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet can witness this firsthand when they encounter Seedot in Kitakami.

Where to Get Seedot in The Teal Mask

Seedot can only be caught in Paldea if players have purchased and downloaded The Teal Mask. Its typing and appearance make it predominantly found in the grassy areas of Kitakami, particularly near Reveler's Road, Mossfell Confluence, and Kitakami Wilds.

Due to its small size, players must be cautious not to overlook Seedot. However, once engaged in battle, it is relatively easy to capture, making any Pokeball highly likely to succeed. The most effective method to catch a Seedot is to put it to sleep or paralyze it.

How to Evolve Seedot into Nuzleaf

In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Nuzleaf can occasionally be found in the same areas as Seedot, but its spawn rate is lower. The most effective method to obtain Nuzleaf is by evolving Seedot. Seedot will naturally evolve into Nuzleaf when it reaches level 14. Leveling up Pokemon is made effortless for players due to the presence of EXP Sharing, which applies when they engage in battles or capture Pokemon. Players will receive a notification when Seedot is prepared for evolution.

How to Evolve Nuzleaf into Shiftry

Evolving Nuzleaf into Shiftry is more challenging, and leveling it up does not affect its evolution. The only way to trigger the change is to use a Leaf Stone.

Leaf Stones are uncommon evolution items that can be found on the ground or purchased from designated stores. Once players are prepared to evolve their Nuzleaf, they can utilize the corresponding item from the bag menu.
