Evolve Dunsparce

You can evolve Dunsparce into Dudunsparce using 50 Candy. Collecting 50 Candy should be an easy-enough task, as the creature will have an increased spawn rate during the Completely Normal event. Check out the approximate CP of your Dudunsparce using our Pokemon GO Evolution Calculator.

Dududunsparce can be of two types: two-segment and three-segment. The version of the creature you get is randomized. The chances of landing the former are 99%, while the three-segment variant only has a 1% chance of appearing.

Trade

If you are unable to evolve Dunsparce on your own, you can always get an in-game friend to trade you a Dudunsparce. However, given the abundance of the base form in the wild and the relative ease of the evolution process, trading a Dudunsparce before catching one will be an unnecessarily resource-intensive endeavor.
