Pokémon Scarlet and Violet introduce many features. From a vast open-world environment to new Pokémon, the game invites players to explore the Paldea region. You can find classic Pokémon from different generations too. Dunsparce is one of the 2nd Generation Pokémon you can find in the game. When you do, we’ll show you how to evolve Dunsparce into Dudunsparce in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Evolve Dunsparce into Dudunsparce in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Dunsparce initially appeared in Pokémon Gold and Silver as a 2nd Generation Pokémon. They were a bit of an anomaly at first. Although it looks like an insect, it isn’t a Bug-type. Rather, Dunsparce is a Normal-type, something that has not changed in the recent game. Also, they had no evolutionary path. That is the major change in the Pokémon this time around.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you can evolve Dunsparce into Dudunsparce. The change in appearance isn’t too exaggerated beyond Dudunsparce appearing longer than Dunsparce as they gain a few segments in their body. However, it is a nice touch for those who previously enjoyed Dunsparce and can now get some new content with them.

But how do we evolve Dunsparce into Dudunsparce in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? Well, you don’t need a resource, thankfully. Dunsparce will just need to learn Hyper Drill to evolve. Thankfully, this is a move that they will learn as they naturally level up. This will occur once Dunsparce reaches Level 32.

In the table below, we’ll show you the difference in stats once you evolve Dunsparce into Dudunsparce in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet:

The biggest difference in stats comes with the Special Attack. It is worth the effort to level up Dunsparce so you can get this new Dudunsparce in your Pokédex. Plus, they can be a helpful Normal-type Pokémon to have around in the early stages if you manage to get a rare Dunsparce fast.

If you already have a high-level Dunsparce that has yet to evolve to Dudunsparce in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you can still help it out. You just need to have Dunsparce relearn Hyper Drill. Follow the steps below:

  • Open the menu and find Dunsparce
  • Select “Check Summary”
  • Navigate to “Moves and Stats”
  • Press “A” for “Change Moves” and choose “Remember Moves”
  • Find “Hyper Drill”

And now you can evolve Dunsparce into Dudunsparce if they’ve passed the Level 35 threshold and didn’t evolve.
