Use a quick Dragon Encounter Power boost to find Axew fast, then evolve it into Fraxure and Haxorus with level-ups.

If you want Axew early, the easiest way is to boost Dragon spawns first. Axew has a low encounter rate, so searching without a boost can feel slow. With the right food buff active, you can reach the correct area and spot Axew much faster, then finish the full evolution line through simple leveling.

Get A Dragon Encounter Power Boost

Start by going to the restaurant shown on the route. It is marked on the map as a bakery-style location. Buy the Encounter Power: Dragon food and eat it. This makes the hunt much easier because it raises the spawn rate for Dragon-types, and Axew is otherwise uncommon in this spot.

Where To Find Axew

After the boost is active, head to the spiral-shaped area shown on the map. This is the main search zone. Move around the spiral and keep scanning as you travel. With the Dragon boost running, Axew can appear quickly in this area, so stay alert and start the encounter as soon as you see it.

Catch Axew Early

The example catch is a low-level Axew at level 17, which makes it a solid early pickup once you reach the area. Approach it, battle it, and catch it like a normal wild encounter.

How To Evolve Axew Into Fraxure

After you catch Axew, level it up to level 38. At level 38, it evolves into Fraxure automatically. You can reach this through battles or speed it up with Exp. Candy, if you want the evolution quickly.

How To Evolve Fraxure Into Haxorus

Once you have Fraxure, keep leveling until level 48. At level 48, it evolves again into Haxorus. This is the final evolution, so once you hit that level, the full line is complete.
