## How to Evolve Meltan in Pokémon Sword: The Ultimate Guide
### Evolution Requirements
**1. Holding an Eevee in Your Party:**
First things first, you need an Eevee in your party. If you haven’t caught one yet, you can find them in various locations in the Galar region. Keep an eye out for the purple, fox-like creature!
**2. Leveling Up Eevee:**
Your Eevee needs to be at least level 40 to evolve into a Meltan. So, get ready to battle and train your Eevee until it reaches that level.
**3. Galar Pokedex:**
Make sure you have the Galar Pokedex fully updated. You need to have seen and caught every Pokémon in the Galar region for the evolution to work.
### Evolution Steps
**1. Capture a Meltan:**
Before you can evolve your Eevee, you need to catch a Meltan. You can find Meltan in the ultra-space in Pokémon Sword. Just look for the glowing creature with a blue, glowing aura.
**2. Transfer Meltan to Eevee:**
Once you’ve caught a Meltan, you need to transfer it to your Eevee. This can be done by selecting the Meltan in your party and choosing the “Transfer” option.
**3. Check Your Eevee’s Status:**
After transferring the Meltan, go to your Eevee’s status and you should see a message saying “Meltan has activated a fusion reaction with Eevee.”
