Pokemon Indigo Disk: How to Find and Evolve Cottonee

Whimsicott is a Pokemon that will definitely come in useful as a member of your party in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk. Here is how to find and evolve Cottonee into Whimsicott.

How to Catch Cottonee in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk

How to Evolve Cottonee in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk

There is no level requirement to evolve Cottonee into Whimsicott. Instead, you will need to obtain a Sun Stone. Unlike other evolution stones, the Sun Stone cannot be purchased and must be picked up as an item around the Coastal Biome. You can also head back to Paldea and pick up a Sun Stone at West Province Area One to the north of the Pokemon Center. West Province Area One also spawns Sun Stones sporadically as items that you can pick up.

There are no negatives to evolving Cottonee as soon as you capture it, as Whimsicott will still have access to the same move pool as Cottonee did. Either way, it’s a good idea when capturing these higher-level wild Pokemon to go and see what moves it can remember. Because chances are the move set that it currently knows is less than ideal.
