So, buckle up as we explore how to Evolve Mareep into Flaffy and Ampharos in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

How To Evolve Mareep Into Flaaffy And Ampharos?

Unlike most Pokémon, which have special conditions for their evolution to take place, Mareep doesn’t require much to evolve into Flaaffy and Ampharos. You simply need to meet the level requirements for its line of evolution, and it will evolve automatically.

Mareep evolves into Flaaffy after reaching level 15, which further evolves into Ampharos at level 30.

We recommend using Mareep in battles to make it level up quicker. However, it can be daunting as Mareep isn’t a battle-honed Pokémon due to overall weak stats. Alternatively, you can use XP Candies, Rare Candies, and Meal Powers for a quick XP boost and level up Mareep faster for a more efficient evolution.

That said, before jumping on to evolve a Mareep into a Flaffy and Ampharos, you need to get your hands on the Pokémon first.

Where To Find Mareep in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

Before evolving this fluffy sheep into Flaaffy and Ampharos, you must know where to find it in Paldea to add it to your collection. Unfortunately, Mareep is only located in a specific Paldean zone, so your chances of coming across it randomly are low. You will have the best luck finding Mareep in the South Province (Area Two).

Although Mareep can spawn on the map during any in-game time, we recommend looking for it during the day. The most common spawn places of Mareep are the grassy plain fields and the olive fields located in the South Province (Area Two) of the game.

Where To Find Flaaffy?

If you can’t wait out the evolution of your Mareep into Flaaffy, it is possible for you to find a Flaaffy in the wilds of Paldea. Luckily, it’s not rare to come across one if you know where to look. The most common spawn spots of Flaaffy are South Province (Area Six) and West Province (Area Two).

That said, just like Mareep, you will have the highest chances of finding a Flaaffy near the green grassy fields and olive fields.

Where To Find Ampharos?

Ampharos can also be found and caught while exploring Paldea. However, unlike its evolutionary siblings, it is a rare spawn. That said, with some luck on your side, you can find one in the North Province (Area One) and South Province (Area Six) regions.
