How to evolve Spritzee into Aromatisse

Spritzee will evolve into Aromatisse when it is traded while holding a Sachet. Importantly, the evolution happens regardless of Spritzee’s level, so you can evolve it at any time as long as it is holding the item at trade completion. Also, Aromatisse does not appear to be catchable in the wild in this game, so trade is the primary route to obtain it.

Where to get a Sachet

You can obtain a Sachet in at least two ways. First, complete Side Mission 10, “Skiddo’s Fragrant Leaves,” which becomes available after you finish Main Mission 7. The mission’s reward includes a Sachet and the mission is found near the clothing shops on Vernal Avenue. Secondly, Sachets can drop as a reward from Infinite Royale matches, though the drop rate is low and you must reach the credits to access that challenge.

How to trade — step by step

Before you trade

Make sure your Spritzee is holding the Sachet. Then you’ll need either a local friend with the game or an online connection (Nintendo Switch Online) to trade.

Trade steps

Follow these menu steps to trade:

Press X to open your menu.
Select Link Play.
Choose Link Trade.
Pick Nearby Players for a local trade or Faraway Players for online trading.
Enter an 8-digit Link Code to connect with a trade partner.
Select your Spritzee and send it off in the trade.

As soon as the trade completes, if Spritzee was holding the Sachet, it will evolve into Aromatisse immediately. If you want your original Spritzee back, your trading partner must trade it back to you.

Tips and notes

Trade code: players sometimes use 0096 0096 to match up with others who want to evolve Spritzee.
When trading with strangers, you can press R at the trade prompt to view the partner’s Pokémon and confirm the held item before completing the trade.
You will need a Nintendo Switch Online membership for online trades; alternatively, trades can be completed locally with another player who has the game.
If you cannot trade at all, you may not be able to add Aromatisse to your Pokédex because it appears unavailable in the wild.
