How to evolve Swirlix into Slurpuff in Pokemon Go

It’s time to get your Poke Balls ready Trainers, as alongside the new Max Out season, Pokemon Go is hosting the Psychic Spectacular event, and this is the perfect time to bag some rare and powerful Psychic and Fairy-type Pokemon.

Swirlix, the Cotton Candy Pokemon from the Kalos region, is numbered #684 in the Pokedex and will be one of the most sought-after during the event.

How does Swirlix evolve in Pokemon Go?

How to evolve Swirlix into Slurpuff

1. Collect 50 Swirlix Candy in Pokemon Go.
2. Collect at least 25 of the following: Pinap Berries, Nanab Berries, Razz Berries. 
3. Feed Swirlix 25 treats in a row.
4. Evolve your Pokemon into Slurpuff

Don’t be tricked into thinking you can only give your Buddy three berries a day. Even when the hunger meter is full and you have already gained hearts, you can continue to feed your them berries despite them no longer doing anything.

So yes, you can give Swirlix all 25 berries in one go, it just might take a little while.
