Pokémon GO's Glacial Lure Modules add a thrilling dimension to the game, offering players the chance to evolve specific Pokémon into their icy counterparts. This guide delves into everything you need to know about these special evolutions, ensuring you catch 'em all – in their frosty forms!
What Pokémon Evolve with a Glacial Lure?
The Glacial Lure Module triggers the evolution of three specific Pokémon:
- Eevee: Evolves into Glaceon.
- Snorunt: Evolves into Glalie.
- Bergmite: Evolves into Avalugg.
It's crucial to remember that only these three Pokémon will evolve using the Glacial Lure. Attempting to use it on other Pokémon will simply activate the lure's standard effect of attracting more Pokémon to a PokéStop.
How to Evolve Pokémon with a Glacial Lure Module
The process is straightforward:
- Obtain a Glacial Lure Module: These can be obtained from various in-game events, research tasks, or purchased from the in-game shop.
- Activate the Glacial Lure: Place the Glacial Lure on a PokéStop.
- Choose Your Pokémon: Ensure you have the Pokémon you wish to evolve (Eevee, Snorunt, or Bergmite) ready in your inventory.
- Initiate Evolution: While the Glacial Lure is active at the PokéStop, you can tap the evolve button on the selected Pokémon. The game will automatically recognize the Lure's presence and initiate the correct ice-type evolution.
Important Note: The Glacial Lure's effect is localized to the PokéStop where it is activated. You must be within range of the PokéStop for the evolution to work.
What Are the Benefits of Evolving with a Glacial Lure?
Evolving Pokémon using a Glacial Lure offers several advantages:
- Unique Forms: You gain access to Pokémon with unique, ice-type forms that cannot be obtained through any other method.
- Increased CP: Evolved Pokémon generally have higher Combat Power (CP), making them more effective in battles.
- Completion of Pokédex: Adding these ice-type evolutions completes your Pokédex entries, contributing to your overall game progression.
How Many Glacial Lures Do I Need Per Evolution?
You only need one Glacial Lure Module to evolve one Pokémon. The lure's effect persists for a duration of 30 minutes, allowing you to evolve multiple Pokémon of the eligible types within that timeframe as long as you remain within range of the PokéStop.
Are there other ways to evolve these Pokémon?
While the Glacial Lure provides the most convenient method, there are alternative ways to obtain Glaceon and Glalie:
-
Glaceon: Can be evolved from Eevee using a specific name trick (renaming your Eevee to "Rea" before evolving). This method works only once per account, unlike the Glacial Lure which can be used repeatedly.
-
Glalie: Can be evolved from Snorunt by using 50 Snorunt candies, however, the glacial evolution using the Glacial Lure provides a unique and generally quicker alternative.
Avalugg, however, exclusively evolves from Bergmite using the Glacial Lure.
What are the best movesets for these evolved Pokémon?
The optimal movesets for Glaceon, Glalie, and Avalugg depend on the current meta in Pokémon GO. Consult resources like PvPoke or other battle simulators for the most up-to-date information. Remember that these movesets can change based on game updates and new Pokémon introductions.
This comprehensive guide provides everything you need to know about leveraging Glacial Lure Modules in Pokémon GO. Remember to check in-game events and news for opportunities to obtain these valuable items and expand your ice-type Pokémon collection. Happy evolving!
