    It evolves into Haunter at level 25, and then into Gengar when traded. You can attach the Gengarite to Gengar for it to be able to mega evolve in battle!

    You cannot evolve Pikachu into Tapu Koko - there is no chance of this happening. You obtain Tapu Koko by defeating the Champion after the Elite Four.

  • Question
    What patch of grass is it for Pichu in Pokemon Sun and Moon?

    Either one, as long as it's in the Hau'oli Shopping District, preferably during the day. Pichu is extremely rare, so have a Pokemon that knows False Swipe and be prepared to wait a while.

Warnings

  • If you are in a region other than Alola, Pikachu will evolve into a normal Raichu.
  • Alolan Raichu is Electric and Psychic, so keep in mind the Psychic addition to balance weaknesses and strengths.
