Niantic confirms Two new Evolution Items and Feebas’s Distance requirement for Evolution

Trainers,

We have already seen a plethora of new changes since the introduction of Gen III Pokemon. But Niantic doesn’t seem to have stopped yet.

Today their support page for Evolutions was updated confirming Two Things:

• New Evolution Items: Deepsea Scale and Deepsea Tooth.
• Feebas distance requirement for Evolution.

New Evolution Items

The following was updated on the support page which confirms the addition of the Two New Evolution Items:

“Select Pokémon require an Evolution item as well as Candy to evolve. There are seven different types of Evolution items (Dragon Scale, Deepsea Scale, Deepsea Tooth, King’s Rock, Metal Coat, Sun Stone, and Up-Grade) that can be used to evolve these Pokémon. You can collect Evolution items by visiting PokéStops.”

Deepsea Scale and Deepsea Tooth, both are evolution items used to evolve Clamperl.

Depending on the Item used Clamperl will either evolve into Huntail or Gorebyss.

Feebas Distance Requirement

Feebas will require a certain Buddy distance before it is ready to be evolved.

This was confirmed by the following statement:

“In addition to collecting Candy, select Pokémon, like Feebass, need to be walked as your buddy Pokémon before they are ready to be evolved.“

Feebas evolves into Milotic, which is one of the best Pokemon from Gen III in the current game meta. Although it isn’t the best of Water-type attackers like Gyarados, it does find itself in the Best of Water Type Pokemon available.

As of now, the Distance requirement is not known, but we expect the same to be updated very soon.

Edit : The Buddy Distance requirement for evolving Feebas to Milotic is 20KM.

That’s it for now guys!!
