Can any level 100 Primeape evolve into Annihilape?

Question

New evolution only recently discovered. Looks to be dependent on moves used in battle, so I'm guessing I should be able to bring in a level 100 Primeape from HOME as soon as that's a thing we can do, and it can evolve?

Answer 1

No, after using Rage Fist 20 times, you have to level it up to evolve. Seeing it can’t level up, it can’t evolve.

In Gen 8, it is possible to evolve level 100 Pokemon that require a level up to evolve by using a Rare Candy on them. It is likely this feature carries to Scarlet/Violet.

Bruh, you can’t use rare candy to evolve, why was I down voted?

Answer 2

Actually, YES you can...
If any Pokemon is at level 100 and requires a level up to evolve, you can use a rare candy on it to trigger evolution
