Evolution Shard Requirement Chart

Search Pokémon, Pokédex # or Move:

NOTE: In the current Beta Testing, Evolution Shards have been replaced with Pokémon Candy. (Updated 6/4/16)

In Pokemon Go, Evolution Shards are needed to evolve Pokemon. Evolution Shards can be obtained by capturing Wild Pokemon. With each Pokemon capture, a single Evolution Shard will be credited to a player's account for the specific Pokemon that was caught.

For example, capturing a Bulbasaur will add one Evolution Shard to that player's Bulbasaur Shard count. Once a player obtains ten Evolution Shards for Bulbasaur (if the Shard requirement was 10), a single Bulbasaur can be evolved into an Ivysaur.

Each Pokemon will have a different Evolution Shard Requirements. Generally, Pokemon with two evolution stages will require Twenty Evolution Shards to evolve, while Pokemon with three Evolution Stages will require Ten Evolution Shards for each evolution. However, some Pokemon will have unique Evolution Shard Requirements (Eg. 50 Magikarps = 1 Gyarados).

According to the latest information released by Beta Field Testers, here is the Evolution Shard Requirement Chart (Last Updated: April 16, 2016).

Note: Shard requirements are subject to change while Pokemon Go is still in closed Beta.
