Doing some preparation for when my Ultra Moon game comes, I have caught a Pikachu i n Y (So i can max EV train it) and I was wondering that if I trade it to UM will it still evolve into an Alolan Raichu if the Thunderstone is used there?

Transferring an older generation Pikachu and evolving it in US/UM will result in an Alolan Raichu, not a non-Alolan variant. To obtain the non-Alolan variant, you have to evolve it whilst in Ultra Space. Being from an older generation does not make a difference. This also means that there is no way to evolve a Pikachu in Sun/Moon into non-Alolan Pikachu without trading it to US/UM, since Sun/Moon doesn't have Ultra Space.

This also applies to Exeggcute and Cubone.

  • According to the wiki Alolan Marowak is a nighttime evolution only. – IG_42 Apr 14 '19 at 13:31
  • @IG_42 That's true, but it still won't evolve into normal Marowak even during the day unless you're in Ultra Space – BGamer Apr 14 '19 at 13:33
