For easier evolving: have damaged threshold set to 50. stand on lit campfire next to spikes to maximize damage to enable healing. During the 30 second healing cooldown, step off the fire and eat a rare mushroom to activate dispel.
Tidepup
The Tidepup is an axolotl-like amphibian companion for ARK: Survival Ascended, introduced with Bob's True Tales: Tides of Fortune alongside Genesis: Part 1. It can stay perched on your shoulder or grow into a larger form with a potent set of unique abilities. Time at your side shapes it, and the way you raise it and lean on it under pressure can steer how it evolves. When it finally falters, it may retreat into a dormant state and return reformed, blurring the line between defeat and survival.

Rare flowers activate their debuff ability which also counts towards their evolution progress. You can alternate between standing on a campfire and eating rare flowers to evolve them. The wifi symbol on the right is the bebuff cool down and the numbers that show up at the bottom show you the health buffer threshold for the health regen ability. So if you set the threshold to 50 you'll need to take 50 damage to activate the ability. But you'll need to take the damage quickly to reach the threshold. The actual amount of health you have doesn't matter. Once the ability activates the numbers at the bottom will change colors and start to countdown before you can activate the ability again. The number of times you need to activate one of the abilities to get a growth surge seems to change as you progress
You can evolve these safely by putting the tidepup on your shoulder and accessing your own beehive a few times to get low health then sitting on a chair until you heal, then repeating.

I found the best way to evolve it is to make sure your HP is over 300. Set the threshold to 250. Use a tek rifle and point at the ground to hurt yourself with the splash damage until it triggers the healing. Then eat a rare flower/mushroom to activate the debuff remover. Repeat over and over until it evolves. Every 30 seconds hurt yourself with the tek rifle then eat rare flower/mushroom.
