If you’ve been spending time in Steal A Brainrot lately, you’ve probably noticed that some of the most amusing and surprisingly strong companions come from the Potato line. Among them, Pipi Potato is easily a fan favorite. Evolving it isn’t complicated, but the game doesn’t always explain the steps clearly, especially for new players. Here’s a simple, friendly walkthrough based on my own experience, plus a few tips I wish I had known earlier.
What You Need Before Starting
Before you jump into the evolution process, it’s important to know that Pipi Potato requires a combination of leveling, resource gathering, and a certain level of in-game progress. Nothing too crazy, but if you’re starting fresh, you might need a bit of grinding.
One quick tip: if you’re aiming to speed things up and don’t want to wait for drops, some players choose to buy brainrots to save time. I don’t think it’s necessary for everyone, but it can help if you’re trying to keep up with friends or jump straight into late-game content. Just make sure you know exactly what you need before spending anything.
Step 1: Level Up Your Pipi Potato
The first step is simple. Use your Pipi Potato in battles or feed it basic upgrade materials until it reaches the required evolution level. In most cases, this level isn’t very high, but it still takes a little patience if you’re doing it naturally through exploration.
Personally, I liked keeping Pipi Potato in my main team during early quests. It’s not the strongest companion at the start, but it gains experience quickly and has some surprisingly funny animations that make the grind feel lighter.
Step 2: Gather the Evolution Materials
Once your Pipi Potato hits the necessary level, you’ll need a few items to unlock its evolution. These usually include:

1. A core material that drops from mid-level zones
2. A small collection of crafting resources
3. A Potato-line evolution token

If you’re not getting the drops you need, try switching maps. Some areas have much better spawn rates than others. Also, keep an eye on daily quests, since they occasionally reward you with materials that work for multiple evolutions, including this one.
Step 3: Unlock the Evolution Menu
When you’ve got the right materials, open your companion menu and look for the evolution tab. This option sometimes stays greyed out if your Pipi Potato isn’t at full health or if you’re missing even one tiny item, so double-check your inventory.
One thing that confused me at first was that some evolution steps only appear after completing a specific story mission. If the button still doesn’t show up even when everything seems ready, it’s worth progressing the main quest a little further.
Step 4: Start the Evolution Process
Once everything is unlocked, hit the evolve button and confirm your choice. Don’t worry; you won’t lose your Pipi Potato. You’re just upgrading it into a stronger, funnier form with improved stats and new abilities.
This evolution takes only a few seconds, but the animation is surprisingly charming. It’s one of those little game details that make Steal A Brainrot feel more polished than you might expect.
Step 5: Equip and Test Your Newly Evolved Potato
After the evolution is complete, remember to re-equip your new Potato companion. Some players forget this step and wonder why nothing changed. Your evolved Potato will usually have a new skill available, so make sure to assign it before heading into battle.
If you’re into experimenting with builds, this is a great time to test different setups. Try pairing your evolved Potato with characters or items that boost its new abilities. I found that it performs best in mid-range fights, especially when you let it use its upgraded skill off cooldown.
Extra Tips for Faster Progress
Even though evolving Pipi Potato is pretty straightforward, a few small habits can make the process smoother:

1. Don’t ignore daily missions. They often give small amounts of materials that add up faster than you expect.
2. Keep at least one open slot in your inventory. Evolution items sometimes require space before they can be used.
3. If you enjoy the game’s collecting aspect, the evolution tree for Potato companions has several branches. It’s worth unlocking them later for fun variations.

Some players also like to buy steal a brainrot items when they want to skip repetitive farming. Again, it’s optional, but it helps if your goal is to evolve multiple companions quickly or if you’re trying to finish everything in a short amount of time.
Evolving Pipi Potato in Steal A Brainrot is a fun little process that helps you get familiar with the game’s upgrade system. It’s not difficult, but it does require a bit of patience and resource collecting. Once you’ve done it once, you’ll find the rest of the companion evolutions much easier to understand.
Whether you’re doing it for the stats or just because the Potato evolutions are some of the funniest designs in the game, it’s definitely worth trying at least once. Have fun experimenting, and don’t be afraid to explore different builds as you go.
