"Pokemon GO" gamers are not only going out and about in the streets to capture PokÃ©mon monsters. They also take the time to sit and go through the web to search for answers to questions they have. One common question is regarding the evolution of a PokÃ©mon.

Evolving a Pokemon is essential in the game. Players will have a higher chance of actually catching more Pokemon monsters if they are able to do so. Also, evolving a PokÃ©mon makes them stronger and can increase PokÃ©mon Combat Points.

According to IGN, players must possess the specific type and required number of Candy in order to evolve a PokÃ©mon. The Candy is the one that enables the evolve button that is found on the specific Pokemon's page. For instance, to evolve a Pidgeotto, 50 Pidgey Candies must be available.

The amount of Candy required is different for every PokÃ©mon. The publication noted that the easiest monsters to evolve are Pidgeys, Weedles and Caterpies. So far, the hardest will have to be the Magikarp which requires 400 Candies in order to evolve into Gyarados.

To obtain Candies, it is said that players will receive a total of three Candies whenever they catch a PokÃ©mon. They can also get a Candy when an Egg hatches. Another technique is by transferring a PokÃ©mon to Professor Willow who will give the trainer one candy.

The best way to harvest Candy as well as Stardust, which is the indicating amount that is needed in order to power up a PokÃ©mon, is to get as many encounters as possible for a specific PokÃ©mon.

"Pokemon GO" players will be able to do this by using Incense and Lure Modules to draw a monster to a single location that features the PokÃ©mon that they want to power up or evolve. Lure Modules can be utilized at PokÃ©Stops while the Incense helps and follows gamers around as they move.
