Move evolution is a run-card choice after a base move reaches its maximum and its stat prerequisite is satisfied. The table links every mapped base move to its evolved name and required card.
What to do
- Search the base move or required stat card.
- Open its full level ladder, then test your current state in the checker.
Numbers & conditions
59 mappings among 64 base moves. Current caps are level 5. The required card is a run stat, not a permanent upgrade: Ember needs atk, Confusion needs cd, Bubble needs spd.

Move evolution
Reach the move’s maximum level, take its required stat card during this run, then choose its evolution card. Permanent upgrades do not substitute for that card.
