Answered EVOLVING PIKACHU

[eliotxhaka2304]

Whenever I try to evolve my pikachu to raichu, it just showthe normal raichu, not the raichu alolan. If I want to evolve to raichu alolan, what should I do? I caught the pikachu since v3 and I finished the sidequests already and I reset it. Is that why I could not evolve to raichu alolan? Thanks for answering my question ^^

To be able to catch Alolan Pokémon or evolve into Alolan forms you have to be in Alola or have beaten Alola in the Sidequests.
If you've reset Sidequests, the game treats it as not having beaten Alola, as you've not reached Alola at that point. Therefore you cannot evolve into Alolan Raichu.
