The intriguing feature of Pokémon games that enhances the gameplay’s depth and intensity is Pokémon evolution. Introduced in the fifth generation, Larvesta is a Bug/Fire-type Pokémon that develops into the magnificent Volcarona. We’ll go over how to turn Larvesta into Volcarona and use it to its fullest advantage on your Pokémon team in this guide.
Trainers might obtain the Bug/Fire-type Larvesta and Volcarona via hatching an egg, as they originally surfaced in Pokemon Black/White of Generation 5. Larvesta might be found in the wild with every new generation; this also applies to Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet.
Out of all the Bug kinds, Larvesta is renowned for possessing the most recent evolution level; this is in contrast to the majority of Bug-type Pokemon, such as Caterpie, which evolve at comparatively early stages. Fortunately, some Scarlet/Violet players may find it easier to level up and evolve the Bug/Fire-type Pokemon than they would have in earlier generations.
Where to Find Larvesta in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
The Asado Desert, namely the areas around Cascarrafa and Port Marinada, is home to Larvesta. Players can discover them on top of the mesas as well as creeping down the sand.
Only Koraidon/Miraidon who can climb walls will be able to access these Larvesta; this ability is unlocked after Arven and Koraidon obtain the final Herba Mystica. Players that play Scarlet or Violet should aim to be approximately level 26 in order to find Larvesta. To make capturing Larvesta simpler, trainers need also obtain 2-3 gym badges. Larvesta is a Pokemon of the Bug/Fire type, and it has a lot of vulnerabilities. Use a Quick Ball on its initial turn of battle, or use moves like Ice or Bug that target its resistances to gradually reduce its HP to yellow or red. If players are at the right level, it shouldn’t be too hard to catch.
3-Star Tera Raids also contain Larvesta. A Terastallized Larvesta could have a distinct Tera Typing from its primary (Bug) and secondary (Fire) typing. Scarlet/Violet players should therefore stick to seeing the Larvestas in the Asado Desert if this is a problem for them. Recall that a Pokemon can swap 50 Tera Shards of the desired Pokemon for a different Tera Typing at the Treasure Eatery in Medali.
Catching Larvesta
You must catch a Larvesta before you may evolve it. Generally, Larvesta can be found in certain areas based on the Pokémon game you are playing. Larvesta is typically found in regions with intense heat or volcanic activity. Make sure you look up the precise location of Larvesta in your game via the Pokédex or internet resources.
Larvesta’s Levelling Up
Levelling up is the main way to advance Larvesta. Larvesta develops into Volcarona at level 59. Larvesta will progressively collect experience points from fights as it levels up. Fighting trainers or wild Pokémon in battles, or taking part in online Pokémon battles, will speed up this process.
How Larvesta Could Become Volcarona
Developing Larvesta into Volcarona is the next stage. Level 59 is when Larvesta will develop. Feeding it Exp. Candy, especially Exp. Candy L or Exp. Candy M, is the fastest way to level up. To farm them, one must win 4-Star Tera Raids.
Given that Volcarona’s superior moves are Special Moves, which it acquires via levelling up or TM, the optimal Nature for Larvesta and Volcarona is either Modest (+Sp. Attk, -Attk) or Timid (+Spd, -Attk). Larvesta/Volcarona is very weak against Rock-type Pokemon, so steer clear of using it against those types of Pokemon.
Larvesta is a quick and powerful addition to the squad, but it requires a lot of time and patience to evolve due to its amazing Special Attack and speed.
Exp. Candy and Rare Candies
Employing Exp. Candy or Rare Candies can be a useful tactic for trainers hoping to advance Larvesta more swiftly. Catching Pokémon, winning Max Raid Battles, and receiving rewards from specific in-game events can all earn you Exp. Candy. Rare Candy is a rare item that gives a Pokémon an instant level boost. By using these goods, you can expedite the evolution process and acquire Volcarona more quickly.
Friendship and Affection
Evolution in certain Pokémon games is dependent on friendship and affection levels. Even if Larvesta is an exception, it’s crucial to keep a positive rapport with your Pokémon. You can do this by offering Larvesta vitamins or things that foster friendship, employing it in your party, and engaging in combat with it.
Changing During the Day
Different evolutions in some Pokémon games are affected by the time of day. It’s important to be mindful of any time-related evolution requirements in your particular Pokémon game, even though Larvesta is not affected by this. Make sure you verify the time-based conditions in your game because some Pokémon can only develop at certain times of the day or night.
Using an Evolutionary Stone (Game-Specific)
Evolution can be started in certain Pokémon games by utilising a particular evolutionary stone. But according to my most recent information update from January 2022, Larvesta does not utilise evolutionary stones to evolve. Always make sure you are using the right strategy by checking the prerequisites for the evolution of your particular game.
In conclusion, every Pokémon trainer will find great satisfaction in helping Larvesta evolve into Volcarona. Whether you decide to use Exp. Candy and Rare Candies to speed up Larvesta’s levelling up or level up through battles, getting the magnificent Volcarona will definitely make your Pokémon team stronger. Recall to verify the particular prerequisites of your Pokémon game, and relish the experience of transforming Larvesta into its ultimate form!
