Why is Sliggoo Not Evolving in the Rain?

Sliggoo, a beloved Pokémon, has many fans puzzled as to why it does not evolve into Goodra in the rain. If you’re struggling to figure out why Sliggoo refuses to evolve, fear not! We’ve gathered all the essential information and expert insights to help you understand the mysteries of Sliggoo’s evolution process.

Leveling Up in Rain Conditions

It’s crucial to understand that Sliggoo evolves into Goodra only when leveled up during rainy weather. Yes, you read that correctly – not just rainy, but specific rainy weather conditions in the game. Players often get caught up in the excitement of leveling up their Sliggoo without paying attention to the subtle weather conditions required for its evolution.

Overworld Rain vs. Rainy Battle Conditions

It’s vital to note that simply raining in a battle, either through an item like the Rain-Dance ability or by setting the battle environment to "Rain", is not sufficient for Sliggoo to evolve into Goodra. The key difference lies in the location and timing of the rainfall. Sliggoo needs to be leveled up outside, specifically in an overworld rain environment, to trigger the evolution process.

These routes, along with other areas like Couriway and Shalour City, allow players to explore and spawn with Sliggoo and potentially trigger its evolution during the right rainy conditions. Note that weather conditions change over time and may depend on the current season and in-game day.

Fog, Not Rain

It’s worth highlighting that Sliggoo evolves in fog as well when leveled up, but in this article, we focus on rainy weather conditions only. Don’t forget that Sliggoo evolves in fog at the Ancient Quarry in Coronet Highlands as well, using Psyshield Bash 20 times with Agile Style.

In conclusion, understanding the conditions required for Sliggoo’s evolution can be puzzling at first, but with a grasp of overworld rainy weather conditions, players can unlock the path to its evolution into Goodra.
