If you want an incredibly powerful ghost- and dragon-type hybrid on your team, you need to look no further than Dreepy's evolution, Dragapult. Okay, technically, it's Drakloak's evolution, making it the third and final stage of this group of ghosts. Either way, you want Dragapult, trust me. In this guide, we'll tell you where to catch all three of these Pokémon, along with how to evolve Dreepy and Drakloak.
However, before we get into all of that, you may want to learn more about Rockruff's evolution, Scyther's evolution, and Misdreavus' evolution. All three of them evolve into some powerful Pokémon, so it's worth learning about them - they'd make great teammates for Dragapult.
Here's what you need to know about Dreepy's evolution.
How do I evolve Dreepy?
Dreepy evolves into Drakloak at level 50. Yeah, we know that's high, but considering that this evolution line ends in the generation eight pseudo-legendary, it's not that much of a surprise. Besides, you can get to level 50 faster than you might think, thanks to Dynamax Raids and Terra Raid battles in Sword and Shield and Scarlet and Violet, respectively.
These raids reward you with EXP candies of various sizes, depending on how many stars the raid has. As you progress through the game, you get the harder fights, which give the larger candies - just hand these to Dreepy and you'll have Drakloak before you know it. Plus, thanks to EXP share, it benefits from any victories you get in battle, even if it's not the one in the fight.
Finally, you can also just opt to wait until you're in the late game to catch Dreepy, as you can sometimes find it at level 49 or above, meaning you just need to give it one rare candy to make it evolve.
How do I evolve Drakloak?
Drakloak evolves into Dragapult at level 60. Yeah, the grind doesn't stop once you evolve Dreepy, but at least it's just an additional ten levels to turn Drakloak into Dragapult. Just like with Dreepy, it's best to give your pal any spare EXP candies you have, and keep it in your party at all times so it can benefit from the EXP share.
Where can I catch Dreepy?
Tracking down Dreepy isn't too difficult, as it pops up quite often in the locations it appears in:
- Sword and Shield - Lake of Outrage, Axew's Eye, Rolling Fields
- Scarlet - Tera Raid Battle Search (three-star) and Union Circle
- Violet - South Province (Area One, Area Four, Area Five, and Area Six), East Province (Area Two and Area Three), West Province (Area Two and Area Three), North Province (Glaseado Mountain), and Terra Raid Battles
Where can I catch Drakloak?
On occasion, you might spot a Drakloak out in the world, eliminating the need to evolve a Dreepy, which can be a good idea, as evolving Dreepy takes a lot of effort due to the level you need to reach. You can even catch a low-level Dreepy and a Drakloak separately to avoid an incomplete Pokédex.
Here's where you can find Drakloak on Nintendo Switch:
- Sword and Shield - Lake of Outrage, Axew's Eye, Rolling Fields
- Scarlet - Tera Raid Battle Search (three-star) and Union Circle
- Violet - North Province (Area One, Area Two, Area Three, Casseroya Lake, and Glaseado Mountain) and Terra Raid Battles
Where can I catch Dragapult?
Dragapult sometimes appears in the wild or raids in the following locations (just make sure you have some ultra balls):
- Sword and Shield - Axew's Eye, Rolling Fields (max raid), Old Cemetery, and Three-Point Pass
- Violet and Scarlet - five and six-star Terra raid battles
How do you evolve Dreepy in Pokémon Go?
To evolve Dreepy in Pokémon Go, you need to give it 25 candies. Then, to evolve Drakloak into Dragapult, you need to give it 100 candies, meaning the entire evolution line requires 125 candies.
Unfortunately, it might take some time to get all of the candies you need as Dreepy isn't the most common Pokémon in the mobile game, but if you keep an eye on the Pokémon Go events, you might find one that increases your chances of encountering them.
