Preliminary information
If you don’t know how to evolve Type Zero , maybe you don’t even know how the friendship and affection systems work since Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let’s Go, Eevee! they merged into a mechanic called bonding . Regardless of the names, know that the substance does not change: Type Zero will only be able to evolve into its strongest form if you manage to make it so fond of the coach. It will not be necessary to fight who knows how many battles, waste Rare Candies and so on; instead, small tricks will be needed that increase the harmony between you and this legendary seventh generation.
Increasing the friendship between the trainer and the Pokémon is not only used to obtain various evolutions but is also useful during the fight: for example, it allows the Pokémon to gain 1.2 times the experience it would normally get; moreover, based on the level of friendship, it allows the creature to survive an attack, avoid a move or recover from a state problem, even to inflict bad blows much more frequently when the bond becomes very strong. However, remember that these advantages cannot be exploited during the competition, where you will have to do it on your own and with the team you have formed. Where your Silvally can only have a special place! I’ll explain why.
Type Zero is a legendary of Normal type that in its basic form may not even seem an interesting creature but that in reality, once evolved into Silvally, immediately gives a clear demonstration of its power: the Primeval System ability allows Silvally to change type according to the ROM assigned to it. The Pokémon power is very simple to understand: when during the adventure they give Type Zero to the trainer they also give him tools called ROMs that allow him to change the type; For example, if you have the Pokémon equip the Electric ROM, Silvally’s type will become Electric and will no longer be the Normal one.
The same goes for all other types of ROMs, and this is Silvally’s strong point: no one will be able to figure out what his type will be in battle and you can surprise your opponent in a thousand different ways. This is because Silvally also has a wide range of moves to choose from, so by combining a moveset appropriate to the type of your choice you can unleash devastating attacks.
Pay attention: Primeval System is an ability of Silvally , not of Type Zero which instead has Fight Shield as a Pokémon power ; also remember that the Pokémon is a legendary and that therefore you will not always be able to use it in battles (it will depend on the rules).
How to evolve Type Zero in Silvally
You need to familiarize yourself with the bonding system to understand how to evolve Type Zero into Silvally . Pokémon generally evolve by acquiring experience points which, once you reach a certain total, allow you to level up. Each Pokémon has its own experience to reach before reaching the fateful level 100, so there are creatures that evolve quite easily and others that, on the other hand, find it more difficult to fully upgrade.
In other cases, the evolution system requires the trainer to behave in a certain way: in the case of Eevee , for example, the player must give the Pokémon various stones (water, flint, etc.); for a Pokémon like Malamar, however, the player must turn the console upside down while evolving its Inkay base form.
The Pokémon world, in short, is made up of many particular creatures, of which Silvally is certainly part, it being necessary for the Pokémon to bind to the trainer with the tricks we are about to see together.
How Type Zero evolves in Pokémon Sword and Shield
To clarify the growth system for friendship, I will explain how Type Zero evolves in Pokémon Sword and Shield , where you will certainly have received it through an exchange or at the Goalwick Battle Tower, after you have beaten the Champion.
Strengthening the Pokémon’s bond with the trainer could be nerve-wracking in the old games but with Pokémon Sword and Shield it has become really simple: in the game, in fact, it is possible to recover a series of tools and berries that allow you to greatly speed up the process and make evolve Type Zero into Silvally in minutes.
Strengthening the bond is possible in various ways in all Pokémon games: catch the Pokémon with a Chic Ball or a Friend Ball , keep it in the team and not in the box, make it fight and never KO it, remember to always heal its problems of state (not with the roots or with bitter cures). As for the items, I recommend that you give him the Calmanella tool that is described in Pokémon Sword or Shield just as useful for increasing the Pokémon’s friendship level.
There are also the Pokécampeggio and the berries to exploit, and these two aspects I would like to explain to you in more detail. In Pokémon Sword you should go to one of the tents you see during the game; here you will have the chance to play with your Pokémon and cook some good curry . Using the Flight skill , for example, go to Path 3 , where as soon as the game screen opens you will find yourself in front of a tent .
Once you arrive, I suggest you have as much fun as possible with Type Zero in the Pokécamp: playing, in fact, allows the Pokémon not only to become attached to the trainer but also to acquire experience points.
Pokémon Sword and Shield have been extremely simplified compared to the games of the past but, despite this, it is not possible to see from the menu the level of the bond established with the Pokémon : to do this, instead, you will have to go to a child who is in a building to the right of the Knuckleburgh Pokémon Center .
Just talk to him, answer affirmatively to his question and select Type Zero to understand where your affinity level with the Pokémon has reached.
To speed up the evolution of Type Zero in Silvally , I recommend that you take advantage of the berry system that in Pokémon Sword and Shield you can find in large quantities throughout the adventure.
The mechanism is very simple: give Type Zero berries that decrease HP, Special Defense, Special Attack, Defense, Attack or Speed; this is because these berries also have the effect of increasing the level of friendship with your Pokémon. You will get the same effect with vitamins (Iron, Zinc etc.).
I can’t tell you exactly how many Berries you need to give Type Zero to increase the affinity with the trainer, as I don’t know if you’ve already brought him to play or if you’ve made him fight and so on; the procedure, however, is still very simple: you have to give him a number of berries such as to make the child of Knuckleburgh say a phrase like “Yours is a beautiful friendship!” .
Initially, you could try a dozen or so berries to avoid wasting too many; if, on the other hand, you want to hurry up and not waste time, just give Tipo Zero about twenty or thirty berries to have the guaranteed result from the first chat.
Once the friendship level has been discovered, the evolution of Type Zero in Silvally will simply require a level increase which in Pokémon Sword and Shield is extremely fast to obtain: it is known, in fact, that in the game Rare Candies , Candies XL etc. once you have beaten the League and unlocked raids with the most powerful Pokémon (those with four, five stars, so to speak).
Use Rare Candies, XLs etc. it’s very simple. Just select them from the menu (as you did with the Calmanella) and give them to Type Zero. If the friendship level is high enough – and it has to be, as if you’ve followed the guide at this point the Knuckleburgh kid should have already told you – the game will announce that Type Zero is evolving into Silvally .
So you will have your legendary Pokémon in your team, with an ability that will come in really useful in the tournaments that the game will allow you to play.
How Type Zero evolves in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon
If you want to know how Type Zero evolves in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon , know that the mechanism to follow is the same: increase the level of friendship between trainer and Pokémon until at the first level up Type Zero evolves into Silvally . Take advantage of the massage that you can do to make your creature in the city of Konikoni , visiting the spas on the island Caldecoccole and fight against the Elite Four , the Champion or against Kahuna island: they are all tricks that you can follow to increase your level of happiness of the Pokémon.
I give you some advice to avoid wasting Rare Candies unnecessarily: before giving one to Type Zero, since they are not available in industrial quantities as happens in Pokémon Sword and Shield, make sure you have saved the game; then use the tool and restart the game if the screen does not open with Type Zero ready to evolve. So you won’t have lost the Rare Candy and you can only use it when the Pokémon is really ready for evolution.
How to get Silvally in Pokémon Sun and Moon
Getting Type Zero in Silvally in Pokémon Sun and Moon , where the Pokémon appears for the first time in the history of the saga, is just as simple.
Always keep in mind the strategies I mentioned earlier (make him fight, don’t knock him out, cure status changes, etc.) and you will see that even if it will be less easy than in Pokémon Sword and Shield it will still be a breeze.
