How to Evolve Tynamo

Tynamo evolves into Eelektrik by reaching level 39. To reach its final form, Eelektross, you must use a Thunder Stone on Eelektrik. There are no trading requirements or time-of-day conditions. You can evolve Eelektrik immediately after it reaches level 39.

Evolving Tynamo requires a two-step process. The first phase demands patience through standard leveling, while the second requires a specific evolution item.

• Stage 1: Tynamo evolves into Eelektrik by reaching Level 39.
• Stage 2: Eelektrik evolves into Eelektross when exposed to a Thunder Stone.

For standard in-game playthroughs, this evolution line is highly valuable. The ability Levitate removes its sole Electric-type weakness to Ground-type moves. However, its low base Speed makes it unviable for serious competitive formats.

In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the evolution mechanics remain strictly tied to leveling and standard items. Navigating Lumiose City offers quick ways to accelerate this process without grinding wild encounters.

1. Keep Tynamo in your active party while completing urban research tasks and trainer battles to reach Level 39.
2. Feed it EXP Candies earned from local activities to skip the manual leveling grind.
3. Purchase a Thunder Stone from the central trading post or find one hidden in the city's construction zones.
4. Open your satchel, select the Thunder Stone, and apply it directly to Eelektrik.

Do not delay the final evolution. Eelektrik gains better base stats immediately upon evolving into Eelektross, and you can teach it advanced moves via TMs right away.

Paldea makes evolving this Pokémon incredibly straightforward thanks to accessible vendors and abundant experience items.

1. Farm Tera Raid Battles to stockpile EXP Candies, then feed them to Tynamo until it hits Level 39.
2. Travel to any major city and locate a Delibird Presents store.
3. Buy a Thunder Stone for 3,000 Pokédollars (this item unlocks in the shop after obtaining 3 Gym Badges).
4. Use the stone from the "Other Items" pocket of your bag on Eelektrik.

If you prefer not to spend money, you can consistently find a free Thunder Stone behind the buildings in Levincia, overlooking the ocean.

The mobile format introduces a regional evolution stone requirement for the final stage, adding a layer of RNG to the process.

1. Collect 25 Tynamo Candy to evolve Tynamo into Eelektrik.
2. Gather an additional 100 Tynamo Candy through catching, transferring, or walking with it as your Buddy.
3. Obtain a Unova Stone from a Research Breakthrough box or by defeating Team GO Rocket Leaders.
4. Press the "Evolve" button on Eelektrik's summary screen once both the candy and stone requirements are met.

Pinap Berries are essential here. Use them on every wild encounter to cut the candy grinding time in half.

Players frequently encounter a few specific roadblocks when trying to complete this evolution line. Most issues stem from item misunderstandings rather than game glitches.

• Using the stone too early: You cannot use a Thunder Stone directly on Tynamo. The game will display an "Incompatible" message. It must evolve into Eelektrik first.
• Accidental Everstone: If Tynamo hits level 39 and does not evolve, check its held item. Remove the Everstone and level it up one more time.
• Missing Unova Stone in GO: If the evolve button is greyed out despite having 100 candies, you lack the required Unova Stone. Focus on completing your 7-day field research stamps to secure one.
