Learn how to evolve your Dunsparce into the awesome Dundunsparce in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. We cover learning Hyper Drill and finding both forms!

Alright, so you've stumbled upon the adorable Dunsparce and you're wondering how to get its cooler evolution, Dundunsparce, right? It's actually pretty straightforward in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and I'll walk you through it. Plus, we'll even touch on how to get that super rare three-segment Dundunsparce!

Where to Find Dunsparce:

Before you can evolve it, you gotta catch one! Dunsparce isn't too tough to find, especially early on. You can snag one in:

  • South Province (Area Five)
  • South Province (Area Four)
  • South Province (Area Three)
  • West Province (Area Two)
  • North Province (Area Two)
  • Area Zero (but this is post-game, so maybe save it for later)

Area Zero has a ton of them, but honestly, you'll spot them pretty easily in the other spots too. Just look for that distinctive yellow and blue slithering around in the Paldean grass – they're hard to miss!

How to Evolve Dunsparce into Dundunsparce:

Here's the main event! To get your Dunsparce to evolve into Dundunsparce, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Level up your Dunsparce to level 32.
  2. At level 32, it will learn the move Hyper Drill. Make sure it learns this move!
  3. The next time your Dunsparce levels up *after* learning Hyper Drill, it will evolve into Dundunsparce.

What if I missed Hyper Drill?

Don't sweat it! If you accidentally skipped over Hyper Drill or didn't want it to learn it at that exact moment, Dunsparce can relearn moves. Just head to a Pokemon Center and use the move relearner. You can have it relearn Hyper Drill that way, and then level it up again to trigger the evolution.

Can I just catch Dundunsparce?

Yep, you totally can! If you want to skip the whole evolution process, you can find Dundunsparce in the wild. Once you unlock Area Zero, you'll find plenty of them wandering around in the lower sections. It's a good shortcut if you're in a hurry!

How to Get the Rare Three-Segment Dundunsparce:

Okay, this is where it gets a bit tricky and relies on some serious luck. There's a super rare version of Dundunsparce that has three segments instead of the usual two. Nobody knows the exact odds, but players reckon it's around a 1 in 100 chance. Some people have hatched and leveled up a whole army of Dunsparce without ever seeing one!

The number of segments is a hidden trait, so you can't tell beforehand. Your best bet is to try breeding. Get two Dunsparce or Dundunsparce that know Hyper Drill, and breed them to get eggs. Once you have about five hatchlings, take them to a high-level area and battle some wild Pokemon to level them all up quickly. With a bit of luck, one of them might just be the three-segment variant!
