All Alcremie Forms in Pokemon Sword and Shield – How to Get Them

So you’ve got boxes upon boxes of Milcerys and you’re wanting to turn them into your adorable confectionary army. Alternatively, you’ve just got one, and you’re after an incredibly specific Alcremie form. There are 9 different Alcremie forms in total, and each form can have its own varieties depending on the Sweet that you choose to feed your Alcremie. 

To turn your Milcery into an Alcremie, you have to undertake certain actions while in the Galarian overworld after feeding it a Sweet. The Sweet will only affect the adornment that your Alcremie will have on its head, not its form – the important thing is that you have to feed your Milcery a Sweet to ensure that it actually evolves. We’ve listed out the 9 different forms of Alcremie below and also our tips on how to get them once you’ve fed your Milcery a Sweet:

  • Vanilla Alcremie – When it’s daytime, spin your left stick clockwise until you pose
  • Caramel Swirl Alcremie – When it’s daytime, spin your left stick clockwise for at least 10 seconds and keep spinning it
  • Ruby Cream Alcremie – When it’s daytime, spin your left stick counter-clockwise until you pose
  • Ruby Swirl Alcremie – When it’s daytime, spin your left stick counter-clockwise for at least 10 seconds and keep spinning it
  • Matcha Cream Alcremie – When it’s nighttime, spin your left stick clockwise until you pose
  • Lemon Cream Alcremie – When it’s nighttime, spin your left stick clockwise for at least 10 seconds and keep spinning it
  • Salted Cream Alcremie – When it’s nighttime, spin your left stick counter-clockwise until you pose

Now that you have our guide to all the Alcremie forms in Pokemon Sword and Shield and how to get them, it should be easy for you to pick up the Alcremie of your chosen color scheme as long as you’re careful with how long you’ve got to spin yourself right round.
