Charcadet evolves differently depending on the game version and platform: For Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (main series games):
- Charcadet evolves by using a specific item called the Auspicious Armor in Scarlet or the Malicious Armor in Violet.
- To get this armor, you must defeat 10 Bronzong (Scarlet) or 10 Sinistea (Violet) to collect fragments or chips.
- Then, trade the fragments or chips in Zapapico city for the corresponding armor.
- Once Charcadet holds the armor, it will evolve immediately into Armarouge (Scarlet) or Ceruledge (Violet).
For Pokémon Go:
- To evolve Charcadet into Armarouge, you need 50 Charcadet Candy and to defeat 30 Psychic-type Pokémon while Charcadet is your buddy Pokémon.
- To evolve Charcadet into Ceruledge, you need 50 Charcadet Candy and to defeat 30 Ghost-type Pokémon while Charcadet is your buddy.
- You do not need Charcadet to do the defeating; it just needs to be your buddy during battles.
- These battles can include raids, Go Battle League, Team GO Rocket battles, or battles against friends.
In summary, evolving Charcadet in the main games requires collecting special armor through battles and trading, while in Pokémon Go it requires candy and defeating specific types of Pokémon as your buddy.
