How to evolve Milcery and get all Alcremie forms in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet DLC

The Indigo Disk DLC for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet has reintroduced the Gen 8 Fairy-type Pokemon Milcery and its evolved form, Alcremie. This guide will help you discover where to find Milcery and how to evolve it into its many variants in Alcremie.

The second expansion of the Gen 9 games, the Indigo Disk DLC, is now accessible, adding a range of new elements to the gameplay.

Alongside a whole new story, trainers can find plenty of new and returning Pokemon throughout Blueberry Academy’s Terarium. However, like Inkay and Malamar, some of those returning monsters have unique evolution methods.

One of those Pokemon is the Fairy-type Milcery, as many fans may be wondering how to evolve this Gen 8 monster into Alcremie. Let’s break down exactly where to find Milcery, how to evolve it, and how many Alcremie forms there are.

How to evolve Milcery into Alcremie in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk

Just like in Pokemon Sword & Shield, trainers have to perform a unique evolution method for Milcery. To evolve Milcery into Alcremie in Scarlet & Violet, you must spin your Trainer around with a specific Held Item currently equipped.

In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, Milcery evolves when holding different Sweet items and spinning around. Milcery can hold the following items to evolve:

• Love Sweet
• Strawberry Sweet
• Berry Sweet
• Clover Sweet
• Star Sweet
• Ribbon Sweet
• Flower Sweet

When rotating the left stick quickly, your Pokemon trainer will transition into a spinning animation. Hold this animation for more or less than five seconds to trigger the Milcery’s evolution.

Getting all of Alcremie’s different forms can be quite the task in Gen 9, as each form has specific parameters that need to be triggered in order for it to show up during evolution.

The specific Sweet Held Item only changes the appearance of the decorations on Alcremie’s head. However, the duration of the spin, the direction, and at what time of day the evolution occurs impacts Alcremie’s coloration.

Alcremie can come in the following forms:

Spin during the day

• Vanilla Cream: Spin clockwise for less than five seconds
• Ruby Cream: Spin counter-clockwise for less than five seconds
• Caramel Swirl: Spin clockwise for more than five seconds
• Ruby Swirl: Spin counter-clockwise for more than five seconds

Spin at night

• Matcha Cream: Spin clockwise for less than five seconds
• Salted Cream: Spin counter-clockwise for less than five seconds
• Lemon Cream: Spin clockwise for more than five seconds
• Mint Cream: Spin counter-clockwise for more than five seconds

• Rainbow Swirl: Spin for more than 10 seconds (at 7 PM/Dusk/Sunset)

Where to find Milcery in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk

Milcery is primarily found in the Polar Biome in the Blueberry Academy Terarium. Trainers can find the Fairy-type Pokemon right away and don’t need to expand the Polar Biome’s habitat to find it.

Where to find Alcremie in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk

Unfortunately, for trainers looking to skip Milcery’s complicated evolution method, Alcremie cannot be found in the wild.

Trainers can randomly find Sweets among the Item Balls scattered around the Terarium, but you won’t be able to evolve Alcremie until you find one.
