Scyther, the sharp-clawed Pokémon, has always been a favorite among trainers. But now, with the introduction of Kleavor, a powerful Bug/Rock-type evolution, the excitement has reached a new level. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about evolving your Scyther into Kleavor in Pokémon GO.
Unlike many evolutions that simply require Candy, evolving Scyther into Kleavor requires a specific item: the Unova Stone. This isn't your standard evolution item; you'll need to earn it through various in-game activities.

-
Team Rocket Events: Niantic often incorporates special events centered around Team Rocket. Completing these events, particularly defeating Team Rocket Leaders and Giovanni, sometimes rewards players with Unova Stones. Be sure to participate in these events whenever possible.
-
Special Events: Niantic frequently hosts special in-game events. Many of these events will offer Unova Stones as a reward for completing specific tasks or challenges during the event period. Keep an eye on the in-game news and announcements for these opportunities.
