How To Evolve Budew Legends Arceus

Hey there, fellow Pokémon trainer! You’ve got a Budew hanging around in Legends Arceus, huh? Awesome! That little rosebud is just begging to blossom into a Roselia, and then, if you're REALLY patient, into a Roserade. But how do you get there? Don't worry, it's easier than dodging a charging Alpha Kricketune (phew, talk about a close call!).

Step 1: Friendship is Magic (Literally!)

Budew evolves based on its friendship level, or as the game calls it, its "friendship" with you. This isn't like giving it a friendship bracelet, though! You gotta show it some love through in-game actions. Think of it as a Pokémon spa day, but without the cucumber slices on its eyes (though I bet Budew would rock that look!).

So, how do you boost that friendship? Well, try these:

• Battling with Budew: Bring Budew along for some friendly (or not-so-friendly, depending on your opponent!) battles. Just letting it participate will help.
• Gathering resources: Having Budew in your party while you gather berries, ore, and other goodies also increases friendship. Think of it as sharing the bounty!
• Feeding it delicious treats: Not directly, of course! Using berries or other items during battles counts as a kindness.
• Avoiding fainting: This is a big one! Nobody likes getting knocked out, especially not our delicate little Budew. Protect it! Shield it! Let it learn the move Protect! Whatever you gotta do!

And most importantly… don't let it faint! Seriously. That's like telling Budew you don't care. And we definitely care, right?

Step 2: Checking Budew's Friendship Level

Alright, so you've been showering Budew with affection, battling baddies, and generally being the best Pokémon parent ever. But how do you know when it's ready to evolve? This is where that Friendship Checker NPC comes in handy. Head to Jubilife Village and find Belamy near the pastures. He's the friendship whisperer, the Pokémon confidante, the... well, you get the idea.

Talk to him with Budew in your party. Belamy will give you a cryptic (but helpful!) message about your bond. You're looking for something like, "It absolutely loves you! Why, I feel like it can't possibly love you more!". Basically, if he says anything that sounds like Budew is head-over-heels for you, you're good to go!

If Belamy isn’t gushing about your incredible friendship, keep at it! More battles, more resource gathering, more protecting your precious Budew!

Step 3: Level Up During the Day!

Okay, this is the crucial part. Budew only evolves into Roselia when leveled up during the daytime. Seriously, it's gotta be sunny out. If it's night, go sleep at your camp until morning. Don't skip this step, or you'll be grinding for friendship for absolutely no reason! No one wants that.

Once it’s daytime and Budew’s friendship is maxed, get it into a battle. Use a Rare Candy, or fight something! The goal is to level up. Watch with anticipation as your little bud blossoms into the elegant Roselia! Yay! Give yourself a pat on the back, you earned it.

Step 4: From Roselia to Roserade (Optional, but Recommended!)

Alright, you've got a Roselia! Congrats! Now, if you want to complete the evolutionary line, you'll need a Shiny Stone to evolve it into Roserade. You can find Shiny Stones in Space-Time Distortions, or purchase them from the Trading Post with Merit Points. Once you’ve got your Shiny Stone, simply use it on Roselia to trigger the evolution. Bam! Roserade unlocked!

So there you have it! Evolving Budew in Legends Arceus is all about showering it with love, leveling it up during the day, and maybe finding a Shiny Stone if you want the ultimate Roserade. Now go forth and conquer, trainer! And remember, a happy Pokémon is a strong Pokémon. Plus, it just feels good to have a little plant friend who adores you. Happy evolving!
