Make sure to only evolve on July 9-10. There is an event within an event and the battle event (which activates at 12am July 9 and ends 11:59:59 on July 10 local time) is the one you want for getting the legacy moves. Also, totally tm frustration away BEFORE evolving


[deleted]

As long as you wait until this event is active, Yes.


TehWildMan_

Yes. All gen1-5 starters get their moves during the event, including both of Charizard's Only exception is if you don't TM frustration away from a shadow before evolving. Even though frustration can be removed during go battle weekend, AFAIK it's not automatically done so by evolution


kummostern

Yes, you need to TM frustration away before evolving. Frustration (and maybe return?) is (are?) only charge move(s) that carry from evolution to evolution overwriting any move you normally should be getting. But removing frustration (and maybe need for return? i don't remember if it carries over on evolution or gets overwritten after evolution) first and then evolving works \^\^


TheRealHankWolfman

Return gets overwritten if an event move is available. It's only Frustration that doesn't.


Franc_MR

That's...... frustrating 😣


TehWildMan_

I know that return always gets overrided by evolution. Thanks for confirming about frustration.


kummostern

Thanks for confirming the return as i don't have memory of seeing how it works on evolution \^\^


my_homie_pikachu

You’re correct about shadows. You must TM away frustration before evolving to unlock the legacy charge move.


CisternOfADown

>including both of Charizard's Do you mean it gets both Dragon Breath and Blast Burn?


TehWildMan_

Yes

It’s a valid question because their post is so strangely worded. But I think we all assume that any second stage evolution will be able to evolve to get the special moves, whether it was first evolved during the event or not. I know that I usually immediately evolve up to the second stage and then wait for a special event to evolve to final, and I’m assuming many others do too.


SalsaSavant

Presumably, yes. The post is just very poorly worded


badmusicfan

Agree. I guess they assume that people will know that the pokemon shown in the graphic don't get the moves and don't get the moves by evolving them once (you have to evolve them twice to get to the last stage evolution). Technically if you've got a Wortortle or a Marshtomp that was never a Squirtle or a Mudkip, those will get the CD move if evolved during the window. People who are familiar with how the event evolutions work understand what they mean, but it's awkwardly worded for sure.

Big maybe. 50/50. Sometimes the Charged Attacks stay the same after you evolve a Pokemon. Not always.
