You can spot groups of Pawmi roaming around in the grass after completing the catching tutorial with Paldea rival Nemona.

You can achieve this at a quicker pace by battling wild Pokémon and every NPC on the map. Trainers willing to battle you will have a sparkling gold symbol over their hand, so you simply need to go up to them and talk. After reaching level 18, Pawmi will automatically trigger its evolution into Pawmo. To unlock its third evolution, you will have to use a hidden method with one of the game’s battle features.

The easiest method is to have your Pawmo walk outside its Poké Ball in a city or around a Pokémon Center. Because there are no wild Pokémon to attack it, you’re able to walk in circles for about 7 minutes to wrack up the correct number of steps. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t tell you how many steps your Pokémon has taken, so you just have to estimate it. Once Pawmo has walked 1,000 steps, level it up a single time to trigger its final evolution into Pawmot.
