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.

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.
