Pokemon GO: How To Get Upgrade Item | Porygon2 Evolution

Pokemon GO's evolution can be as simple as using the required amount of candy, but often rarer evolutions will require an evolution item.

These are consumables that can allow you to not only fill out your Pokedex but also unlock some impressively powerful creatures.

One such item, the Up-Grade, can evolve Porygon into Porygon2, so it's worth grabbing one.

Here's how to do just that.

Pokemon GO: How To Get Up-Grade

There are a few ways to get an Up-Grade, but none are guaranteed.

That means you'll want to complete as many of these tasks as possible - especially since you can only use it once.

Field Research

Arguably the easiest method of earning an Up-Grade, you'll want to spin Pokestops wherever possible.

Each offers a 1% chance of an evolution item, including an Up-Grade.

You'll up your chances by spinning Pokestops for seven days in a row, too!

Go Battle League Reward

Speaking of PvP, try competing in the Go Battle League for a chance to earn an Up-Grade as a mystery item.

How To Find More Special Evolution Items

Want to evolve more unique Pokemon? Some Pokemon in the game can't be caught unless you use a special evolution item.

You'll need a King's Rock for Politoed and Slowking, a Sun Stone for Bellossom and Sunflora, the Dragon Scale for Kingdra, a Metal Coat for Scizor and Steelix, Plus UpGrade for Porygon2.
