Last updated Jan 9, 2019

Pokémon Go Gen 3 has just been launched and here is everything that you need to know. In Gen 3 Pokémon, you can find all the Pokémon that were available in the video games Pokémon Sphere and Pokémon Ruby.

Starters for Pokémon Gen 3

As there are Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur in the Pokémon Gen 1 and Cyndaquil, Chikorita and Totodile in Gen 2, now there are Grass-type, Water-type and Fire-type starters in the Pokémon Gen 3. In gen 2, there was not a special use of the starters. Same is in the Gen 3. Starters are characteristically hard and can be kept out of the Pokémon eggs for really long periods.

Pokémon for XP Grinding in Gen 3

There were 3 common, 12 candy evolutions to grind for XP in the Pokémon Gen 1. In gen 2, there were no such common. And, in Gen 3 there are two common and these are:

Wurmple- Bug – 502
Whismur- Normal – 603

How to Evolve Feebas into Milotic in Gen 3

Milotic is a water-type Pokémon that can also be considered as the Gyarados of Pokémon Gen 3. Milotic evolve from Feebas. It takes 100 feebas candy to evolve Milotic. In Gen 2, to evolve Eevee into Espeon, friendship is required, just like that same is required for Feebas to evolve into Milotic.

To evolve any Feebas into Milotic, you need to walk for 20 km with the specific one that you want to evolve. It is not like that you can walk any Feebas for 20 Km to evolve. For example, if you want to get a high IV milotic, you need to walk a high IV Feebas. Find below how you can do this:

First, tap on your “Avatar”
Next, tap on your “Buddy”
Now, at the bottom right, find and tap on the “Switch Button”
You need to confirm that you want to switch buddies. For that, Tap on “Yes”.
Choose the “Feebas” of your choice and walk with it for at least 20 KM
You need to collect “100 Feebas Candy” while walking. If you already have, then there is no need for more.
Now tap on “Feebas” and finally on “Evolve”. You have your Milotic now

How to Evolve Wrumple into Dustox and Beautyfly

Wrumple has split evolution just like in the Pokémon go Gen 1. Wrumple can be evolved into Silcoon or Cascoon. In Gen 1 you could get Jolteon, Flareon, and Vapareon by evolving an Eevee. And in Gen 2, Tyrogue can evolve into Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee and Hitmontop. There is a trainer name trick and day vs night trick to control one or all evolutions. Second stage evolutions are completely random with Wrumple. Here is how you can do this:

Select the Wrumple that you want to Evolve and tap on the Evolve
Repeat this to get Cascoon and Silcoon.
Now, whenever you have the opportunity, evolve Silcoon into Beautifly and Cascoon into Dustox.

How to Evolve Wailord and Altaria

Altaria is one of the baddest in the game. It is a Water-type dragon. And, Wailord is the biggest Pokémon in the Pokémon Go. Despite that, these are not as potent as Gyarados. To evolve Wailord and Altaria you need 400 candy. The best thing here is, no friendship is required. Means, you don’t need to make buddy before evolving.
