Thnxs for the help I’m struggling to evolve my meowth please help me with any tips and/or tricks for it
Simply go fly to the Battle Tree on Poni Island during the night. Instead of actually going into the Battle Tree head a way from it and mess around in the closest patch of grass. During the night you’ll have a better chance of finding Raticate if you simply just want to catch one. I suggest having a Pokemon with a level higher than at least 65, the battles aren’t gonna be easy. Make sure you have Meowth in your party. Hope this helps
