How to set Evolutions after copying a Clash Royale deck

Copied Clash Royale decks never arrive Evolved. Why the official link omits Evolution and Hero form, and how to set them by hand.

If you copied a deck from DeckBeacon (or from any honest tool using link.clashroyale.com) and the Evolutions are off, the import worked. The official copy format does not carry Evolution or Hero form. DeckBeacon lists the cards to change on the deck page and on the row, in the open, because hiding that behind a tap would put a gate on copy.

This is the same limitation on RoyaleAPI, Stats Royale, and a broadcast QR code. Nobody using the official handoff can smuggle forms through the URL.

Steps

  1. Copy the deck as usual. How to copy a Clash Royale deck.
  2. Stay on the DeckBeacon page. Read the disclosure: it names each card that must be Evolved or set to Hero form. If a form was ambiguous in the battle log, it is badged that way instead of guessed.
  3. Open the deck in Clash Royale.
  4. For each named Evolution card, enable Evolution in the collection / deck screen the way the game already does (you must own it).
  5. For each named Hero, set Hero form the same way. Heroes are not Evolutions — Hero form.
  6. Confirm the Tower Troop matches the page. Towers do travel on the official link; Evolutions do not.

Why we will not "fix" this with a custom URL

A custom scheme would break when Clash Royale changes, and it would violate the rule that copy is the official handoff. We would rather tell you the truth on every affected row than ship a clever link that sometimes works.

The bitmask behind Evolution vs Hero is documented in what Evolution is. Reading evolutionLevel > 0 as "Evolved" is how tools conflate the two and how this project once showed a meaningless "Special" badge.

If you do not own the Evolution

You can still play the eight base cards. The ranked identity you copied included the form, so your results will not match the sample's Wilson Rating — which is a 0–100 score on that playable identity, not on the base list. Either unlock the form or pick a list without Evolutions.
