Edit 3: The question is, is Pancham supposed to have to be in the Party to evolve? I understand Mantyke needs to be - Mantine literally has a Remoraid attached (due to their symbiotic relationship). But Pancham is supposed to evolve from the ‘bad influence’ of a Dark-type. Is it able to have that influence from a distance (in storage boxes), or does it need to be in direct contact to be influenced (in the Party)?

Wiki states: “Pancham evolves into Pangoro starting at level 32 if there is another Dark-type Pokémon in the user's party.”

I was looking through my Pokedex, and Kalos was only at 116/117. Turns out I am missing Pancham. I’ve had it in my storage boxes ever since I hatched it, and went on to achieve 100% Kalos completion. It’s never been in my Party (apart from when it was an egg).

Currently level 36 Pangoro in question; must’ve evolved at level 32 a couple days back.

Don’t have any spare Pancham right now, but I can test it (with screenshots) once I get a second [first is for dex].

Edit: did some testing - wiki is a bit misleading

Level 31 Pancham evolved when user had a Crawdaunt (dark type) in their party.

The Pancham itself doesn't need to be in the party.

I assume this'd apply to Mantyke too. (will test it later)
Edit 2: Not the case with Mantyke; it needs to be in the party.

See [Bugs/Complaints] PH Wiki to correct current evolution requirements.
