Out of the many returning Pokémon in the Indigo Disk DLC, Milcery and Alcremie are among the most complicated. Alcremie can come in all sorts of different colors depending on several different factors, and it is one of a small handful of Pokémon that have strange evolution methods. No level-ups, evolution items, or trades are required for this one, but there’s still a lot to think about.

We’ll tell you how to evolve your Milcery into an Alcremie, and how to get the exact color patterns that you want.

How to evolve Milcery into Alcremie in the Indigo Disk Pokémon DLC

First things first, you need to track down one of the many different types of sweets. Some are rarer than others, but here are all the possible types:

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

Unfortunately, no shop sells these, and your only hope of finding one is by picking them up from the various sparkling spots on the ground, or by randomly getting them out of the Item Printer in Blueberry Academy.

Once you’ve given Milcery a sweet to hold, you need to perform a spin, which you do by rapidly turning your character around by spinning the analog stick. Eventually, they will start spinning on the spot. Doing a simple spin is enough to evolve Alcremie, but the direction you spin, the time of day, and the length of time you spin can affect what color your Alcremie will come out as.
