How do I evolve Vullaby into Mandibuzz in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?

Evolving Vullaby into Mandibuzz in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet doesn’t take any special evolution methods like other Pokemon, such as Nosepass. That said, you’ll have to put the work in to trigger the evolution because in order to evolve Vullaby, you need to get it to level 54. Once it reaches it, the Pokemon will automatically evolve into Mandibuzz.

If your Pokemon is higher than level 54, use a Rare Candy or an EXP Candy on it to level it up once, which will cause it to evolve.

How do I level up Vullaby fast?

Level 54 is high, so depending on what level your Vullaby is at, it may take you a while to get it there. You can use Rare Candy to force it to grow a level, which you can find on the ground across the Paldea and Kitakami maps.

Alternatively, you can feed your Vullaby EXP Candy, which you can earn by completing Tera Raid Battles. There’s also a chance that Rare Candy may drop from Tera Raid Battles, too. You can participate in battle with your Vullaby so that it gains EXP, but it’s definitely faster to use some form of Candy.
