Players all throughout the region of Paldea are finding new partners to train and evolve throughout Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's vast open-world. Of the Pokémon released in this generation, there is a handful that require something other than levels to evolve to their highest stage, with Capsakid being a prime example. Players looking to evolve their Capsakid into a Scovillain will need to use a specific item to evolve their grass-type companion.
Befitting a Pokémon with the 'Spicy Pepper Pokémon' description, evolving this little monster will require players to turn up the heat. By using a Fire Stone, one of the evolutionary stones available Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, the Capsakid will immediately begin its evolution into the Grass/Fire Pokémon, Scovillain. This fully evolved form surely hits the top of the Scoville Scale due to the addition of the fire-themed evolutionary stone.
Where to Obtain a Fire Stone in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
A Fire Stone is required for the evolution of multiple Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, not just for Capsakid's evolution into Scovillain. Obtaining this evolutionary stone has become quite easier in comparison to previous generations of the game. Players looking to obtain this evolutionary stone from exploration will find them scattered around the desert regions of Paldea. In deserts, there is a chance that interacting with random drops can yield a Fire Stone. While this is one method for acquiring a Fire Stone, Pokémon Scarlet & Violet has included an additional means to acquire one of these precious evolutionary stones.
Of the three storylines available in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, progress against the gym leaders of Paldea will increase the types of items available for purchase at shops. This includes Delibird Presents, a shop where players can buy mall manners of useful items for their journey. The items purchasable from this shop range from powerful held items, to the essential evolutionary stones required to evolve Pokémon like Capsakid.
After the player has defeated three gym leaders, all of the elemental evolutionary stones, including the Fire Stone, will be available to purchase from the Delibird Presents store. This is a massive quality of life improvement, as players can simply purchase the item instead of relying on a random loot roll from scouring the desert floor of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's open-world. Frugal trainers will be able to afford all of the evolutionary stones their hearts desire, making the task of evolving a Capsakid into a Scovillain a relatively easy feat in the latest entries to the franchise: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.
