How to Spawn a shiny Charcadet in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

To do so, simply head to any of the locations we’ve highlighted above. Make sure you go during the night to increase your chances.
Next, set up a picnic and make a sandwich. The ingredients for this sandwich are 1 Basil, 1 Sweet Herba Mystica, and 1 Salty Herba Mystica. Now simply wait around for the Shiny Pokémon to spawn.

How to catch Charcadet in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
The probability of this Pokémon spawning at night is greater than at the day. Once you catch sight of it, simply throw a Quick Poke Ball at it to catch it. Charcadet is a fire-type Pokémon that can use fire to its advantage. It has the wicked ability to cover itself in Fire to keep its enemies away.
Before you start catching it, we recommend saving your game. In case you’re unsuccessful, you can simply reload the save and try again.
Best Nature and Tera Types for Charcadet
You should consider Modest Nature as it will be really helpful when you decide to evolve it. But if you’re a Violet user, then we recommend you consider picking up the Adamant or Jolly Nature as it will pair nicely with Ceruledge.
The recommended tera type for this Pokémon is the Fire tera type. As this is a fire-based Pokémon, it will double the damage you deal. However, you can go for any of the following to cover the weakness of your Charcadet:
- Water

- Flying
- Bug
- Fighting
- Ground

Charcadet Evolution Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

In Pokémon Violet, Charcadet evolves into Ceruledge. To do so, you’ll need to get the set of Malicious Armor. This item can be acquired from the lady vendor near the fountain in Zapapico after you’ve collected 10 Sinsitea fragments. Once you have the aforementioned items trade them in for the armor. Simply putting the armor on your Charcadet will start the evolution process.
The process is just as straightforward in Pokémon Scarlet. For this version, you’ll need 10 Bronzer fragments. Once you have them, head to Alfornada and speak to the Cityslicker to trade them for the set of Auspicious Armor. Putting this armor on your Charcadet evolves it into Armarouge.
