asked Jun 29, 2021 by Saber27 edited Jun 29, 2021 by Fizz I think this counts as trivial. Also yes it can evolve at level 20 and onwards. commented Jun 29, 2021 by Ditto How is this trivial? This information is both useful and easy to find on Bulbapedia. commented Jun 29, 2021 by sumwun Also at what levels does Magikarp evolve beside Lvl.20, Thank you for the help though :) commented Jun 29, 2021 by Saber27

As they level up in the Day Care, Pokémon will not undergo evolution.

So, when you take it out of the Day Care, it won't evolve. However, in order to evolve it, you'll just need to level it up to the next level and it will evolve.

Since you don't know how Level Up Evolution works, I will accept to explain it to you. Let's take Magikarp for example. Magikarp can evolve from Level 20 onwards. This means when Magikarp reaches Level 20, it will evolve. If you cancel the Evolution process (keeping Magikarp as Magikarp), Magikarp will attempt to evolve when it reaches Level 21, so on, so forth until it reaches Level 100 since you are in Gen 3.

You just took a lot of tension of my shoulder!!! commented Jun 29, 2021 by Saber27 If you liked this answer, click on the green checkmark in the top right. commented Jun 29, 2021 by Spooky Terrain Magikarp evolves at level 20, not 21. commented Jun 29, 2021 by Dmub Magikarp can evolve at level 20, level 21, or many other levels. commented Jun 29, 2021 by sumwun Sorry, that was my bad. commented Jun 29, 2021 by Jhnfui Giving it a rare candy at lvl 100 also evolves it I think. commented Jun 29, 2021 by Gr8 Pokémon Guy That's only in Gen 8. commented Jun 29, 2021 by Jhnfui
