Pets in Prodigy evolve by levelling up. When a pet gains enough experience from battles, it grows into a stronger form with better stats and new spells, and the game will show you the evolution as it happens. There is no special item to buy and no button to press, so the whole trick is to battle with the pet you want to evolve until it reaches its next evolution level.
How pet evolution works
Every pet in Prodigy has a level, and every battle it fights earns it experience. When the pet’s experience fills its level bar, it levels up. At certain levels, the pet evolves, which means it changes form and becomes a stronger version of itself. The pet keeps its element, so a fire pet stays a fire pet, but it hits harder, survives longer, and learns new spells.
Evolution happens automatically. You do not need to visit a special place, use an item, or pay gold or Magicoins. The only thing you control is which pet you battle with, because only the pets that fight in your team earn experience. A pet sitting unused in your collection does not level up, no matter how many battles you win. If you are new to catching pets, start with Prodigy pets: how to catch and evolve.
When pets evolve
Pets evolve at set levels as they grow, and the game shows you where your pet stands. Open the pet screen in the game to see the pet’s current level, how much experience it needs for the next level, and whether an evolution is coming up. The exact levels change with game updates, so check the pet screen in the game rather than trusting a fixed list from an old guide.
As a rough guide, early evolutions come quickly, because low level pets need little experience to level up. Later evolutions take longer, because each level needs more experience than the one before. That is normal, and it is why the pets you evolve first should be the ones you actually use in battle, not the ones that look nicest in your collection.
How to level pets up fast
- Put the pet you want to evolve in your active team, and keep it there. Only active team pets earn experience from battles.
- Battle wild pets and complete quests in zones that match your level. Battles you can win quickly give steady experience, while battles far above your level waste time.
- Answer the math questions correctly. Correct answers cast stronger spells, end battles faster, and earn more experience per battle.
- Use the pet in boss battles and harder fights once it is strong enough. Harder battles give more experience, but only if you can win them.
- Play a little every day. Short daily sessions level a pet faster than one long session once a week, because your wizard also levels up and unlocks stronger zones.
What changes when a pet evolves
An evolved pet is stronger in three ways. First, its stats go up, so it deals more damage and can take more hits. Second, it learns new spells, often stronger versions of the spells it already knows. Third, it looks different, with a bigger and more impressive form that shows other players how far you have trained it.
What does not change is the pet’s element and its place in your team. Evolution does not reset the pet’s level back to the start, and it does not change which battles the pet is good for. An evolved water pet is still a water pet, just a better one, so your team plan stays the same and your evolved pets simply do the job better.
Which pets to evolve first
Evolve the pets you use most. If you always open battles with the same pet, that pet should be your first evolution, because it fights in every battle and levels up fastest. After that, evolve one pet of each element, so you always have a strong answer to any boss. Save rare pets for later, because a common pet you use every day will evolve sooner and help you more than a rare pet that sits in your collection.
