Need to know how to evolve Gligar into Gliscor in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Teal Mask DLC? We're on the case.

How to evolve Gligar into Gliscor in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Teal Mask
To evolve Gligar into Gliscor, you need to trade it at night while it's holding a Razor Fang. This is no different to past games, but how you go about obtaining a Razor Fang obviously differs in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to other games in the series.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Gligar trade codes
Another way would be to use the game's online trade system to trade your Gligar for another person's Gligar — both holding Razor Fangs and at night. That way you both get what you want.
You can organize a trade with a friend or trusted player through social media communitues like Discord or Twitter.
You can use the unofficial Gligar trade code 0207 (the Pokemon's national dex number) to increase the odds of finding these mirror trades.
