— Elfilin, regarding Evolved Copy Abilities in Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Evolved Copy Abilities refer to a set of upgraded Copy Abilities which Kirby can acquire and utilize in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. In order to obtain these abilities, Kirby needs to find the appropriate Blueprints and a certain amount of Rare Stones and Star Coins to then take to Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop, where Weapons-Shop Waddle Dee will then upgrade the abilities using his tools. Once an Evolved Copy Ability is obtained, it will appear in place of the typical ability Kirby gets from swallowing enemies or using Copy Essences. If Kirby wants to revert to a previous form, he can do so at Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop. Evolved Copy Abilities (along with the base ones) can also be powered-up once story mode is completed by using more Star Coins and Rare Stones (details can be found on the Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop page).

Each of the base Copy Abilities in Kirby and the Forgotten Land can be evolved at least once, with Sword and Hammer in particular having three distinct evolved forms. Each evolved ability gains a unique name and appearance, and may also gain new moves along with having its damage and properties altered. None of the evolved abilities are required to complete the game or to solve any specific stage puzzles, but obtaining all of the abilities is a requirement for 100% completion, and are also needed to fulfill certain missions and unlock certain Treasure Road stages.
