“It searches for food all day. It possesses a keen sense of smell but doesn’t use it for anything other than foraging.” – Scarlet Lechonk Pokédex entry
Lechonk is one of many new Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet that is brand new to the franchise for Generation IX, with its reveal being the talk of social media. Lechonk is a Normal-type Pokémon who just has one evolution, Oinkologne.
To evolve Lechonk into Oinkologne, players have to level Lechonk up to level 20. Levelling up is fairly straightforward in Scarlet and Violet, particularly in the early game thanks to EXP Share. As long as you keep winning battles (and even just catching Pokémon), you will level up Lechonk in no time. You can also use a Rare Candy for a free level up.
If you wish to stop Lechonk evolving into Oinkologne, just press B when they start to evolve, or give them an Everstone to hold. Lechonk stop learning moves at level 35, with Double Edge being the last move they can learn without using a TM.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are available now on Switch.
