Evolving Floette in Pokémon GO isn’t as simple as just having enough candy. There are certain steps and friendship goals you must achieve. Below is a clear, easy-to-follow guide to help you evolve Floette into its final form, Florges, including tips to make the process faster.
- The base stage: Flabébé
- Second stage: Floette (evolves from Flabébé)
- Final stage: Florges
Floette is the middle Pokémon. To get Floette you usually evolve Flabébé with candies. To evolve Floette, you must meet some extra requirements.
Requirements to evolve Floette
To evolve Floette into Florges, you will need:
- Candy
You need 100 Flabébé candies to evolve Floette. - Buddy Hearts
Floette must be your Buddy Pokémon and you must earn 20 hearts with it.
Hearts come from interacting with your Buddy in various ways: walking together, feeding, playing, taking snapshots, etc. - Candy to get Floette in the first place
If you don’t already have Floette, you evolve Flabébé into Floette using 25 Flabébé candies.
Step-by-step: how to make Floette your Buddy and earn hearts
Here are practical actions you can do to reach the 20 hearts needed:
- Assign Floette as your Buddy Pokémon.
- Walk with Floette as your buddy. Distance walked may give hearts.
- Feed Floette treats.
- Play with it, i.e. “play” actions (toy, interactions).
- Take snapshots of Floette.
- Do other Buddy activities: possibly battling together, interacting through GO Snapshot, etc.
Mixing up different types of interactions helps, because some give hearts more reliably than others. Some will only give one heart per day, etc. Always check how many hearts you’ve collected so far.
Putting it all together: evolving Floette into Florges
Here’s how you tie the requirements in sequence:
StageAction needed1. If you have Flabébé onlyCollect 25 Flabébé candies → evolve into Floette.2. Have Floette as BuddySet Floette as your Buddy.3. Earn heartsInteract to get 20 hearts with Floette as Buddy.4. Collect candiesEnsure you have 100 Flabébé candies saved up.5. EvolveOnce you have both (20 hearts + 100 candies), you will get the option to evolve Floette into Florges.
Extra tips to speed up the process
- Carry out Buddy tasks daily. Even small actions matter.
- Use events that increase candy rewards or Buddy interaction bonuses.
- Use Pinap or Silver Pinap Berries when catching Flabébé or Floette (before evolution) to get more candy.
- If you have multiple Floettes, pick the one with best stats to evolve. Use the others for candy or trade (if trading is possible for that Pokémon).
- Make sure the Floette you plan to evolve is the same form (flower colour) you like, because evolution preserves the flower form.
Why the hearts requirement exists
The hearts requirement is to reflect the bond between Trainer and Buddy. It makes evolution more than just collecting resources. It rewards consistent play and interacting with Pokémon, not just grinding candy. It also helps ensure players engage with the game more frequently, which adds to the fun.
