So my neighbor Jim told me you can evolve that grumpy looking Qwilfish now. Cool right? Thing is, nobody told me it was gonna be this goddamn annoying. Here’s how I wrestled with it:
The Stupid Candy Grind
First, I gotta catch a ton of Qwilfish. Sounds easy? Hah! Took me three days just finding enough spawning near the park pond. Half the damn things kept breaking outta balls too. Got maybe 10? Barely enough candy for one evolution attempt. Felt like scraping crumbs off the table.
The Sneaky Button Trick
Okay, candy acquired. Went to my Pokémon box, tapped on my best Qwilfish. Scrolled down… no evolve button! Just sat there like a dead fish. Pissed me off. Remembered seeing some tweet about needing to change the button name during Hisuian hours? Weird. So I checked:
- 6-7 PM window? I missed it yesterday. Naturally.
- Waited today like a kid for ice cream truck.
- Bam! Right at 6:01 PM, the button suddenly said “Evolve into Overqwil.” Tricksters.
Smashing The Damn Button
Pressed that button fast before Niantic changed their mind! Held my breath… big flashy light show thingy… and BOOM! Angry purple spiky fish with smug eyebrows. My new Overqwil! Took screenshots feeling like I beat a boss battle. Seriously, felt better than catching a shiny Pidgey.
The Aftermath (And Pain)
Now I gotta do this whole circus again for my other decent Qwilfish? More park trips? More Hisuian hours? Just the thought makes my thumb ache. But hey, I guess it’s worth it? Overqwil looks kinda cool throwing those spikes around like a porcupine with a temper.
