Complete Training Guide: From Catch to Max Level

Leveling Methods

• Story battles: highest EXP per fight — always your first choice.
• EXP potions: awarded by daily quests and events. Save them for your main team.
• Wild grinding: lower efficiency, but doubles as catching practice.

Evolution Conditions

Most spirits evolve by reaching a level threshold:

• First evolution: typically Lv 16–20
• Second evolution: typically Lv 32–40

A few spirits need special conditions (items, friendship, etc.).

Each spirit's evolution chain and conditions are listed on its Pokedex page.

Effort Values (EVs)

EVs add bonus points to a spirit's six stats — they're the key to late-game min-maxing:

• Up to 510 total EVs per spirit
• Earned by feeding stat-specific candies (Bitter for HP, Sour for ATK, etc.)
• Physical attackers: dump into ATK + SPD
• Special attackers: dump into SP.ATK + SPD

Skill Loadouts

• Run a high-power same-type move (gets the STAB bonus).
• Add 1–2 off-type moves to cover counters.
• Optional: 1 utility move (heal, buff, debuff).
