In Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, sometimes it’s not enough to simply level your pokémon up if you want them to evolve. Sure, the great majority can be evolved by actively battling with them (or by keeping them in your party and relying on Exp. Share), but there are quite a few that need specific items in order to reach their next evolutionary step. And, to make matters worse, some of these items are elusive.
