How To Evolve Boldore In Pokemon Sword And Shield

So, you've got a Boldore! That rock-solid buddy has been with you through thick and thin, facing down everything from Wooloos to... well, probably more Wooloos. You're ready to unleash its full potential and evolve it into the mighty Gigalith.

You're in the right place! Let's get that rocky friend evolving!

The Secret Sauce: Trading is Key!

Forget leveling up, forget friendship levels, forget giving it a rare candy while standing on one foot during a full moon. The secret ingredient to evolving Boldore is...trading!

That's right, you gotta send your precious rock monster to a friend (or a very trustworthy stranger) and have them send it back.

Finding a Trading Partner

First things first, you need someone to trade with. Think of it like finding a dance partner – you need someone willing to boogie!

Do you have any friends playing *Pokemon Sword and Shield*? That's the easiest place to start!

If your real-life friends are tragically un-Pokemon-inclined, don’t despair! The internet is your friend! There are tons of online communities and forums dedicated to *Pokemon* trading.

Just be sure to use a reputable source and, like, maybe don't trade your most prized Shiny for a promised Gigalith that never materializes. Stranger danger applies in the *Pokemon* world too!

Setting Up the Trade

Alright, you've got a trading partner lined up! Now let's get this show on the road!

Make sure you both have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. It's like the cover charge for the online *Pokemon* party.

Open the Y-Comm, connect to the internet, and set a link code. Share that code with your trading partner. Voila, you're ready to trade! It's easier than ordering pizza (and probably less greasy).

The Moment of Truth!

Select Boldore as the *Pokemon* you want to trade. Remember, this is a one-way ticket for now, so be sure you *really* want that *Gigalith*!

Once the trade is complete and your partner sends Boldore back, prepare for the evolution sequence. Confetti, dramatic music, the whole shebang!

Beaming with Pride

Congratulations! You've successfully evolved your Boldore into a magnificent Gigalith!

Go forth and conquer gyms, dominate raids, and generally show off your awesome new rock buddy. You've earned it!

Remember to thank your trading partner. Maybe even send them a virtual high-five (or a rare *Pokemon* as a token of your appreciation!).

What If They Don't Trade Back?

Okay, let's address the elephant in the room (or the Gigalith in the stadium). What if, horror of horrors, your trading partner *doesn't* send your Boldore back?

This is why trading with trusted friends or using reputable online communities is so important!

If you do get scammed, report it to the community or forum where you found the trading partner. While *Pokemon* Company won't replace your *Pokemon*, hopefully, the community will help you by warning others about that user.

Trading is always a risk, so only trade what you're comfortable potentially losing. Think of it like playing poker – don't bet the farm!

But let's stay positive! Most *Pokemon* trainers are awesome people. You're much more likely to end up with a glorious *Gigalith* than a missing *Boldore*.

Now go, evolve, and enjoy the rock-solid awesomeness of your new *Pokemon*!
