Legends: Arceus - Every New Evolution Requirement For Old Pokémon
Pokémon Legends: Arceus switched up the formula of Pokémon evolution by having players manually choose when they evolve and setting new evolution requirements for older Pokémon. The newest entry in the franchise no longer requires trainers to ensure their Pokémon are holding specific items to evolve, opting for methods similar to giving the creature a specific evolution stone. When trying to complete Pokémon Legends: Arceus's Pokédex, players may be surprised to find new evolution methods for Pokémon from previous generations.
Most of the new evolution requirements are for the new Hisuian variants and evolutions. However, a number of Pokémon that previously required trading to evolve, such as Haunter, now evolve when an item is used on them. While the majority of evolutions haven't been altered from earlier entries in the series, a few have been updated to either make trainers' lives easier or better match the Pokémon.

The new evolution methods fall under three categories: item-based, move-based, and damage-based evolutions. Some of the item-based evolutions highlight new items introduced in the game, while the move-based evolutions ensure players understand the strong and agile style moves. Knowing which old Pokémon evolve in new methods is crucial in order to catch 'em all in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus introduced a new item to make evolving Pokémon previously requiring a trade much easier. Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler, and Haunter now all use the Linking Cord to evolve to their final stage. Linking Cords can be found in the various space-time distortions or from the Gingko Guild's Ginter for 5,000 Pokédollars.
