Evolution turns a base monster into a stronger, later-stage form — and alongside rank, it's where the biggest power spikes come from. Many evolutions also branch, letting you steer the same base pet toward different elements. This guide covers how evolution works, the Evolution Materials it needs, the EM slot, and when it's worth pulling the trigger.
How evolution works
Pets evolve up a chain: a base form evolves into a stronger one, and some stages branch into several element variants. Evolving isn't free or automatic — it consumes Evolution Materials, and for branching evolutions the material you use decides which variant you get. Better materials also improve your evolution odds, so a step isn't always guaranteed on the first try.
Evolution chains
Two examples of how a chain branches:
- Flaragon family: Flarecub → Flaragon → then branches into Flaragflora (Grass), Flaragfrost (Ice), Flaragaqua (Water), or Flaragblaze (Fire). One base, four possible endpoints depending on the gem you evolve with.
- Glazadon family: Icevolf → Glazadon → branches into Glazadonbloom, Glazadonwave, Glazadonflare, Glazadonfroz, and more — again, the element variant follows the material.
The evolution guide page maps every chain visually, with the exact materials each step needs, and every wiki pet page links to its chain.
Evolution Materials
Evolutions are gated behind materials you farm. They come in a few flavours:
- Scales — dropped by the pet itself (for example, Flaragon's Scales), usually required before a chain can branch.
- Refined gems (Fire / Ice / Water / Grass) — the element gem you use steers a branching evolution, and a higher-property-score gem improves your evolution odds.
- Raw stones — base materials farmed from zones and their pets (Raw Fire Stone from Volcano, for instance).
So evolving a branching pet is really three questions: do I have the scale, which element gem do I want, and is my gem good enough to hit the odds?
The Evolution Material (EM) slot
Separately from evolving up a chain, many pets have an Evolution Material slot that feeds into their final stats — it's one of the multipliers stacked on top of rank, level, and mutation. If you want to see exactly how the EM slot, rank, level, and enhancement combine into a pet's real in-game numbers, the fuse & enhance calculator models the whole pipeline.
When to evolve
- Evolve the pets you're keeping. Materials take time to farm, so spend them on a pet you'll actually field, not every base you catch.
- Pick the branch for your team. Because branches set the element, evolve toward the element your party is missing rather than defaulting to the obvious one.
- Farm the better gem first. Since gem quality affects the odds, an extra farming session for a higher-score gem can save you a failed, material-wasting attempt.
