Hisuian Qwilfish and Overqwil were first introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and have since made their way to Pokémon Go during the Hisuian Discoveries event. The two Dark/Poison Pokémon might be related to the standard Qwilfish we first met in Gen II, but there’s one key difference—Hisuian Qwilfish evolves into Overqwil while the standard Qwilfish cannot evolve.

How to evolve Hisuian Qwilfish into Overqwil in Pokémon Go

The first thing you need to do is collect Candy as per usual. Hisuian Qwilfish requires 50 Qwilfish Candy to evolve into Overqwil. 

But there is another requirement to enable the “Evolve” button this time. With Hisuian Qwilfish as your Buddy Pokémon, you must complete another task. That next step is winning 10 raids. Remember those 10 raids need to be beaten while your Hisuian Qwilfish is equipped as a Buddy Pokémon.
