One of the first Pokemon that was revealed for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet was Bellibolt. This is a water and electric-type Pokemon that has fake eyes that distract its prey. It’s part of a two-part evolutionary line, and it’s rather easy to find its first evolution in the wild. If you want to add a Bellibolt onto your team to even things out, then you’re going to need to know how to evolve Tadbulb. Below we go over where to find Tadbulb and how to ultimately evolve it into Bellibolt.
