There are numerous ways to evolve your Pokemon in Pokemon GO, one of which requires the use of Lure Modules. Typically, these items are used to attract Pokemon to a PokeStop for a short amount of time, but there are some Pokemon that evolve when you use Candies on them while in range of an active Lure Module.
Pokemon GO: A Complete Pokedex
Pokemon GO is a challenging game. More so with so many friends to catch. Here’s a complete Pokedex to help trainers in their journey!
There are seven Pokemon GO Lure Evolutions in total, plus one or two Pokemon that become easier to evolve when using Lures. This guide includes a complete Pokemon GO Lure Module Evolution List, as well as information about how to get more Lure Modules when you find yourself running low.

All Pokemon GO Rainy Lure Evolutions
The Rainy Lure Module provides an additional way to evolve Sliggoo into the Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon, Goodra. Previously, you needed to wait until it was raining in-game to do so, but you can now obtain Goodra by feeding Sliggoo 100 Goomy Candies while in range of an active Rainy Lure Module. For those unaware, Sliggoo evolves from Goomy with the use of 25 Goomy candies. You can also catch Sligoo in the wild, although it’s an extremely rare spawn.
Aside from enabling Sliggoo’s evolution, a Rainy Lure can be used to attract Water-, Bug-, and Electric-type Pokemon.
All Pokemon GO Mossy Lure Evolutions
Eevee has many evolutions in Pokemon GO, two of which require the use of a Lure Module. You can get the Grass-type Eeveelution, Leafeon, if you feed Eevee 25 Eevee Candies while in range of a Mossy Lure Module. This mimics the Gen 4 games, in which Eevee evolves into Leafeon when leveled up near a Moss Rock.
Outside of being used to evolve Eevee into Leafeon, the Mossy Lure Module will attract mostly Grass-, Bug-, and Poison-type Pokemon.
All Pokemon GO Glacial Lure Evolutions
In the Gen 4 games, Eevee evolves into the Ice-type Eeveelution, Glaceon, when leveled up near an Ice Rock. The equivalent in Pokemon GO is the Glacial Lure Module. If you feed Eevee 25 Eevee Candies while in range of an active Glacial Lure, it will evolve into Glaceon.
- Crabrawler ⟶ Crabominable
Crabrawler can also evolve when near an active Glacial Lure Module, if you give it 50 Crabrawler Candies. This mimics the original Sun & Moon requirement of being on Mount Lanakila in Alola, although, as with Glaceon, this was changed in future installments.
Glacial Lure Modules are generally associated with Ice-types, although can attract both Ice- and Water-type Pokemon.
All Pokemon GO Magnetic Lure Evolutions
The first Magnetic Lure evolution is Magneton. The popular Steel/Electric-type evolves from Magnemite after feeding it 25 candies, and can also be caught as a rare spawn. Magneton can then be evolved into Magnezone with the use of a Magnetic Lure and 100 Magnemite Candies.
Next up is Nosepass, a Rock-type from Gen 3. When near an active Magnetic Lure, Nosepass can evolve into the Steel/Rock-type Probopass, with the evolution also requiring 50 Nosepass Candies.
The final Magnetic Lure evolution is Charjabug, a Bug/Electric-type from Gen 7. After evolving from Grubbin with the use of 25 candies, Charjabug can evolve into Vikavolt with 100 Charjabug Candies while there’s an active Magnetic Lure Module nearby. Charjabug can also be found as a rare spawn.
In addition to evolving Magneton, Nosepass, and Charjabug, Magnetic Lures can be used to attract Electric-, Steel-, and Rock-type Pokemon.
Special Case: Golden Lure Modules & Gimmighoul
While the Golden Lure Module is not needed to evolve a Pokemon, it can be very helpful in doing so. Specifically, the Golden Lure Module can fast-track your attempt to evolve Gimmighoul into Gholdengo.
Here’s how:
- Rather than relying on candies, Gimmighoul evolves into Gholdengo with the use of 999 Gimmighoul Coins. These coins are obtained in three different ways: catching Gimmighoul, walking with Gimmighoul as your buddy, or spinning Golden PokeStops.
- Gimmighoul will spawn for half an hour after using the Coin Bag, which is activated by sending a Postcard from Pokemon GO to Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
- After five days of sending Postcards, you can earn a Golden Lure Module, which can then be activated at a PokeStop. This will turn the PokeStop gold for half an hour, spawning more Gimmighoul and dropping several Gimmighoul Coins when spun.
- Golden PokeStops also occur naturally without the use of a Golden Lure Module during some events, where they will also drop Gimmighoul Coins, though they don’t necessarily spawn Gimmighoul in the area.
How to Get Lure Modules in Pokemon GO
There are a few ways to obtain Lure Modules that are needed for these evolutions. The first and most permanent method is to just buy them from the in-game shop. While a standard Lure Module is 100 Poke Coins, the specialty modules are a bit more expensive. Each Specialty Lure Module costs 180 Poke Coins.
It’s worth noting that you don’t need to use your own Lure to evolve these Pokemon. Keeping an eye out for one that is active nearby is a good way to save some Poke Coins and still evolve a Pokemon. Search around to see if there are any active Glacial, Mossy, Rainy, or Magnetic Lures in the area to potentially use those first!
Community Days are often a good time to seek out PokeStops that have been lured by other trainers. For example, during Grubbin Community Day, it was quite easy to find PokeStops equipped with Magnetic Lures so you could evolve your newly-caught shiny Charjabugs.
Some other ways to obtain specialty Lure Modules include:
- Shop bundles: Some limited-time bundles will sometimes contain Lure Modules of different types. You can check limited-time offers from the Pokemon GO Store Page.
- Special Research and Timed Research: Lure Modules can sometimes be among the rewards for completing Special Research quests or Timed Research tasks
- Collection Challenges: these limited-time challenges have Lures as a reward, on occasion
- Leveling Rewards: Some of these Lures are available as rewards for leveling your trainer profile.
The Golden Lure Module can only be obtained by sending five Postcards (on five separate days) to Scarlet & Violet.
