While there are plenty of large and powerful new Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, a fast fan favorite is Tandemaus, a Pokémon comprised of two separate mouse-like rodent Pokémon that work together as one. They are absolutely adorable.

How to evolve Tandemaus into Maushold
Maushold alternative forms
To make things even cuter, Tandemaus' evolution Maushold consists of those original dual mice but now with two baby mice as well. While the larger mice are certainly a bit protective, trainers are discovering that the lovely little mouse family is still very capable on the battlefield.
There are a lot of strange rumors about how and when Tandemaus evolves, so we've got the confirmed evolution details for you right here.
While there are some reported cases of Tandemaus evolving randomly in a box or while exploring Paldeaa, we didn't run into that in our testing. Evolving Tandemaus into Maushold is really simple, but there's a specific way to do so if you want to see the evolution animation.
Tandemaus can evolve into Maushold starting at level 25 only when leveled up in a battle. You cannot use XP or Rare Candies to evolve Tandemaus — it will simply level up without evolving.
If you cause an opposing Pokémon to faint in battle using Tandemaus, you will get the standard evolution animation post-battle. But if Tandemaus levels up through experience share (say you use another Pokémon to win a trainer battle), it will evolve off-screen. Just look in your party in an should be a Maushold.
Maushold alternative forms
Maushold will typically consist of four mice Pokémon (two parents and two children), but there is a rare form that switches things up a bit.
Maushold also has a form that only has one youngling. According to Bulbagarden, the evolution form is determined by its encryption constant, with a 1/100 chance of Tandemaus evolving into a family of three Maushold. These odds are different for Mausholds found in Tera Raid Battles.

To evolve Tandemaus into Maushold in Scarlet or Violet, players must first level it to Level 25. Starting from Level 25, Tandemaus will evolve once it hits the next level, either by defeating a Pokemon with Tandemaus or while Tandemaus is in the party (using EXP Share).
Tandemaus is meant to evolve at random any point after level 25 when it either gains experience in battle or levels up. Thus, it may not always evolve straight away. Also, it will only show the evolution screen if it happens to evolve after leveling up in battle (possibly also when leveling up via candy).
Once players have caught Tandemaus in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, they can evolve it into Maushold by leveling the Couple Pokémon to Level 25. However, according to Game8, this evolution only occurs if Tandemaus is in the players' active party when an opponent Pokémon faints.
Tandemaus is not one, but two mice Pokemon working together in tandem! Tandemaus mice will only pair up if they develop a bond of incredible teamwork and once paired they will stick together no matter what.

Maushold Has Been a Surprisingly Versatile Competitive Mon
Combined with Maushold's Hidden Ability Technician granting the move another 50% of its base damage, and a Wide Lens as a held item to ensure the move hit as many times as possible, the family of mice suddenly became a power physical sweeper.
While Friend Guard is an exceptional Ability that's prompted players to add Maushold to their roster on the competitive circuit, the Hidden Ability Technician turns Maushold away from its support role and into a menacing attacker. Technician increases the power of moves that deal 60 or less damage by 50%.
In addition to having unsettling in-game implications like how parents hatch out of a single egg, the Tandemaus line is also incredibly powerful: its signature move can exceed the base power of attacks such as Hyper Beam and Explosion. Tandemaus and Maushold have gotten competitive players shaking in their boots.
To be specific, Finizen evolves into Palafin in Union Circle starting at Level 38! This can be through battling in the nearby grass or simply by using XP items or a Rare Candy. Not all heroes wear capes. Pro tip: Once Finizen evolves, it will try to learn the move Aqua Tail.
To evolve Pawmo into Pawmot easily, pop your Pawmo out and then use your Koraidon or Miraidon (depending on which version of the game you have) to jump on top of a Poke Center. The Pokemon will begin running circles below you, allowing you to rack up those steps in no time.
The vast majority of Maushold will evolve into the Family of Four form, with two “kids” and two “parents.” However, there is a slim chance it will become a Family of Three, with only a single child.
