Dreepy evolution guide

The Dreepy evolutionary chain has become a favorite within Pokémon communities, culminating in Dragapult, Galar’s formidable pseudo-legendary. Achieving its final form demands significant effort, especially given its high level requirements. Here’s a breakdown of the progression.

Evolving Dreepy to Drakloak

Dreepy reaches its first evolution at level 50, transforming into Drakloak. While this milestone may seem daunting, leveraging EXP Candies from Dynamax or Tera Raids accelerates leveling. Keeping Dreepy in your active party also helps, as it gains passive experience through EXP Share. Late-game encounters might even provide Dreepy near level 49, allowing evolution with minimal effort.

From Drakloak to Dragapult

Drakloak evolves into Dragapult at level 60. Continue using EXP Candies and party participation to expedite this process. The ten-level gap ensures extended gameplay, but raid rewards streamline progression considerably.
