Use the region and map together. These are ordinary encounter-pool entries in v3.1; run mode, encounter selection and level gates still apply. They are not encounter odds, a guaranteed catch, or a Battle Tower floor list.
How does Tentacool evolve in this game?
- Tentacool → Tentacruel · Level 30 or above
These are Pokelike’s ordinary level checks, not methods copied from another Pokémon game. If a listed evolution does not trigger, check for a held Eviolite, a no-evolution challenge or a run-specific evolution cap. Reaching the level does not bypass those rules.
