Should I wait to evolve my Weepinbell in Crystal?

Jan. 9, 2022



I have a Weepinbell in Crystal, and I got a Leaf Stone from one of the free items NPCs can give you. Should I evolve it, or wait? I don’t want to be stuck with Vine Whip for like the whole game until Blackthorn where I think the move remember is, and Giga Drain is post game.

There is no Move Reminder in Crystal, so you should wait to evolve your Weepinbell until it learns Razor Leaf (Level 42). You don’t want to be stuck with Vine Whip for the Elite 4, and because there’s no Move Reminder, you can’t get Razor Leaf as a Victreebel. Therefore, though Weepinbell’s stats are lower, its worth it to wait in the long run.

Giga Drain is better than both, so use that once you beat Erika.
