Chimecho evolution

Pokémon GO has no evolution levels: a Pokémon evolves when you spend Candy on it (sometimes with an item or a task), at any level.

Chimecho evolves from Chingling for 50 Chimecho Candy.

Chimecho is the last stage of its family: it does not evolve further.

Family: Chimecho · Chingling
