Understanding Charcadet's Split Evolution
Charcadet, the Fire Child Pokémon, is a fascinating Fire-type introduced in the Paldea region. Unlike most Pokémon, its evolutionary path isn't determined by level, but by a special item that is exclusive to either Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet.
Depending on your version of the game, your Charcadet will evolve into one of two powerful knights: the Fire/Psychic-type Armarouge, or the Fire/Ghost-type Ceruledge. Both are formidable additions to any team, each with a unique design, typing, and signature move.
- Charcadet has two version-exclusive evolutions: Armarouge (Scarlet) and Ceruledge (Violet).
- Evolution requires a special item: Auspicious Armor for Armarouge or Malicious Armor for Ceruledge.
- These items are obtained by trading specific Pokémon materials with an NPC in Zapapico.
