Can you evolve a Pokemon at a higher level than when it should?

Question

sorry for the long name but I captered a drifloon at level 45 when it should evolve at level 25 so will it evolve or should I let it go.

Answer 1

Yes.

It will evolve the next time it gains a level. You can cancel evolution by pressing the B button when it tells you its evolving, but it will try to evolve everytime it gains a level, so if you change your mind about not evolving you still have a chance to evolve it later.

You can temporarily stop the Pokemon's evolution by giving it an Everstone.
