Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: How to evolve Bisharp into Kingambit

BISHARP has been a popular competitive Pokémon since its arrival in Generation 5, and its evolution appears to be a return to the meta.

Kingambit — not King’s Gambit as some might think — has two powerful abilities: Defiant and Supreme Overlord.

Defiant greatly boosts Attack when any other stat is lowered and is very popular in competition.

Supreme Overlord gives your attack a boost based on how many of your teammates have fainted, making it a powerful anchor.

How to get your own Kingambit in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Where to catch Bisharp

Kingambit doesn’t appear in the wild, but it’s possible to catch one in a five-star raid.

Defiant makes this solo difficult as many NPCs have Intimidate which boosts Kingambit’s attack and makes him unstoppable.

The easier method is to catch a Bisharp and evolve it into Kingambit.

Bisharp exists in a few places, but the one you’ll want to try is anger falls in Area Two of the Northern Province.

It has its own flight point, but if you haven’t unlocked it, you can fly and ride to Firescourge Shrine or the nearby Pokécenter.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: How to Evolve Bisharp

To evolve Bisharp, you must use it to defeat three other Bisharp that are in a group of Pawniard.

They carry a special item called the Leader’s Crest, which is required for your Bisharp to evolve into Kingambit.

The important thing to note here is that you can’t use moves like Knock Off or Thief, as this will remove the held item and prevent it from counting towards the three.

If you have a Pokemon with Frisk, like Shroodle or Gothorita, this will tell you if the Bisharp is holding the leader’s crest without removing it.

Bisharp Leading Pawniard can only be found near the water at the base of Fury Falls. They also have an increased chance to spawn when it’s raining.

After defeating three Bisharp, raise your Bisharp and it will evolve into Kingambit.
