How to get Kingambit in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Kingambit Location Scarlet Violet – It is now known that the game, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet features a lot of new Pokemon, all across the Paldea region and all trainers are on the lookout to find the special evolution requirements for a few Pokemons

There are plenty of Pokemon that evolve through the normal process. You know, gain enough EXP or levels and the evolution begins. But that is not the case with every pokemon.

In fact, most of the powerful Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet don’t evolve normally. One of my favorite Pokemon Bisharp has also gotten an evolution, that is Kingambit in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Kingambit is the evolved form of Bisharp. All the trainers out there would be required to evolve their Bisharp in order to get a Kingambit. The following guide is here for your help.

How to get Kingambit in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

In order to get a Kingambit in Pokemon you need to get a Bisharp first, and then evolve it into a Kingambit.

I played almost 200 hours of Violet, and I haven’t spotted a single Kingambit roaming in the wild. So this is the only way.

After getting a Bisharp, you will be needing a special item called Leader’s Crest. Therefore, here is how you can get this special item and evolve your Bisharp into Kingambit in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

This process isn’t very difficult. Follow the steps below so that you can keep track of what you need to do to evolve your Bisharp into a Kangambit.

Firstly, get Leader’s crest. To get the Leader’s Crest, you need to head over to North Province (Area Two) and search the Bamboo Forests nearby.

You can get Leader’s Crest from Bisharp, but not from any Bisharp. You need to look for a Bisharp that is leading a group of Pawniard. This is what it looks like:

When you spot such a Bisharp, you need to catch it, because when you do, the Bisharp will already carry a Leader’s Crest with it. So you can get the Leader’s Crest from there.

Now, make your Bisharp hold the Leader’s Crest. You can give it to either a Bisharp you already have on your team or the Bisharp that you have just caught while obtaining the Leader’s Crest.

Go back to the Bamboo Forests, look for more Bisharps leading a group of Pawniard, and defeat them. Basically, you need to defeat 3 wild Bisharps that are leading a pack of Pawniard.

After you are done fighting the 3 Bisharps, the next time you level up your Bisharp, it will evolve into a Kingambit. You just use a Rare Candy to level it up.

Kingambit is one of the best Pokemon you can have, IMO. The Pokemon is Dark and Steel type, and is extremely potent. I have done plenty of 6 Star Tera Raids with my Kingambit, and to me it is easily an endgame pokemon.

That is all that we had on how to get Kingambit in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
