Where Can Oddish Evolve Quickly In Pokémon GO?

When I'm in full-on candy-hunting mode, my brain goes into siege-planning: where to catch the most Oddish, how to stack candies, and then a rapid-fire evolution session in the Pokémon screen. First off, evolution itself happens right in your Pokémon menu — you don't have to bring Oddish to any special location — but getting the candies fast is the real location-based game. Oddish evolves to Gloom for 25 Oddish Candy, and Gloom can turn into Vileplume for 100 Candy or into Bellossom for 100 Candy plus a Sun Stone. That Sun Stone is the key item if you want Bellossom, so keep an eye on Research rewards, PokéStop gifts, and in-game shops during events.

If you want to collect candies fast, hunt where Oddish spawns: parks and grassy neighborhoods are gold mines. I have a favorite city park that basically becomes an Oddish factory during cloudy weather (grass-type weather in 'Pokémon GO' boosts spawns), and evening walks there usually pay off. Events like Spotlight Hour or Community Day can turn a place that usually has one or two into a full-blown swarm — that’s prime time to use Pinap Berries and stockpile candies. Lures and Incense can also help if you’re stuck near a busy square; drop one and sit with a thermos and some headphones while catching everything that pops up.

Tactical tips that helped me evolve a bunch in one sitting: always use Pinap Berries when you can (they multiply candy from a catch), catch every Oddish you see (transfer duplicates for +1 candy), use your buddy to earn candy while walking, and save Rare Candies for emergency boosts. If you’re short on a Sun Stone for Bellossom, prioritize spinning PokéStops on your commute and completing small field research tasks — they often give evolution items during themed events. Finally, when you’ve got enough candy, evolve in batches while a Lucky Egg is active if you need EXP too — it doesn’t speed the evolution itself but multiplies the XP return if you’re leveling up. I love doing a mass-evolve session on a rainy afternoon with music and snacks; it feels oddly satisfying to watch a whole pile of Oddish turn into Gloom and beyond.

I usually play more casually, so I look for practical, low-effort ways to evolve Oddish quickly. If you want to speed things up, head to grassy spots like parks or community gardens — Oddish tends to pop up there a lot, especially during cloudy weather or themed events in 'Pokémon GO'. Use Pinap Berries to double the candy drops when catching, and make Oddish your buddy to get extra candy from walking. Remember the costs: Oddish -> Gloom costs 25 candies, and Gloom -> Vileplume or Bellossom costs 100 candies (Bellossom also needs a Sun Stone). Save PokéStop spins and small research tasks to farm evolution items like Sun Stones, and try to catch during Spotlight Hours or Community Days when spawns surge. With a few focused sessions and a handful of Pinaps, you can evolve multiple Oddish in one evening without burning a lot of time.
