The Dreepy evolution line is a bit of a fan-favorite, even holding a special place in the hearts of the PT team. The final stage, Dragapult, is a beast of a Pokémon, serving as Galar’s pseudo-legendary. However, while there’s nothing too unusual about the evolution method, you need to be willing to put in a lot of time and dedication to get Dragapult.
Still, before we tell you how to evolve Dreepy and, subsequently, how to evolve Drakloak, you might want to know more about Rockruff’s evolution, Scyther’s evolution, Budew’s evolution, Bisharp’s evolution, Misdreavus’ evolution, and Salandit’s evolution. Or, if you prefer, we can tell you how to evolve Charcadet and how to evolve Primeape in Scarlet and Violet.
Here’s what you need to know about Dreepy’s evolution.
How do I evolve Dreepy?
To evolve Dreepy, you need to get it to level 50. Yes, it’s that simple, just like with Ralts’ evolution. No steps or stones are involved. Though, having said that, reaching level 50 just to evolve a stage one Pokémon might seem a bit excessive.
The best way to level up Dreepy (and Drakloak) is to battle with it, feed it delicious dinners at camp, and offer it EXP packets. Eventually, you’ll reach level 50 and move on to the second stage Pokémon.
How do I evolve Drakloak?
Drakloak evolves into Dragapult at level 60. Yes, this is one of the highest-level requirements for an evolution in the entire franchise, but it’s more than worth the effort to get a Dragapult on your team. Other ‘mon like Mienfoo, Nobat, and Shelgon tend to evolve during the 40s and 50s. To speed up the process, it’s best to keep Drakloak in your team and give it EXP and rare candies.
Where can I catch Dreepy?
Dreepy shows up quite frequently in the areas it frequents, just head to these areas:
- 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 Proince (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?

- 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. As we already mentioned, Dreepy isn’t that common, so this may take some time.
Is Dreepy a legendary Pokémon?
While Dreepy itself isn’t a legendary Pokémon, its final evolution, Dragapult, is a pseudo-legendary, so by proxy, this little Pokémon is more important than you might first give it credit for.
