Yungoos has a special evolutionary requirement.
With the start of the Season of Alola in Pokemon Go, a variety of Pokemon from the Alola region of the Pokemon universe are now available to collect in the free-to-play mobile game.
Two of these Pokemon are Yungoos and its evolution, Gumshoos.
Yungoos has a special evolutionary requirement in Pokemon Go: Yungoos can only be evolved into Gumshoos during the day. This makes Yungoos similar to Eevee, which can only evolve into Espeon during the day. (Evolving Yungoos into Gumshoos also requires 50 Yungoos Candy.)
You’ll see Yungoos’ special evolutionary requirement if you tap on a Yungoos in your collection. If you tap on a Yungoos in your collection during the day, you should see a sun icon and checkmark to the right of Yungoos’ “Evolve” button. This lets you know you can evolve Yungoos into Gumshoos.
If you try to evolve Yungoos into Gumshoos at night, the game won’t allow you to complete the evolution, and you’ll need to try again during the day.
And that’s all there is to it! Have fun!
It may take you some time to collect the 50 Yungoos Candy you need to evolve Yungoos into Gumshoos. That being the case, you may want to check out some mobile accessories that can improve your gameplay experience. For instance, check out HyperX’s Cloud Buds Wireless Headphones. They’ll let you listen to the action in Pokemon Go (and other mobile games) without having a cord plugged into your device.
