Matcha Cream Alcremie is formed by the trainer spinning clockwise for less than 5 seconds at night.

The exact sweet used to evolve Milcery into Alcremie form the sweet "hair decoration" of Alcremie and causes its eye color. These sweets, which are necessary for evolving Milcery can be obtained by battling at a Battle Cafe (in the case of the Strawberry, Love, Berry, Clover, and Flower Sweets), the Cram-o-matic in the Isle of Amour Expansion, and as a "Today's Highlight" option from the Watt Trader in Slippery Slope within the Crown Tundra Expansion.

Best moveset
As a fairy-type, Milcerry is strong against popular competitive Pokemon types, notably fighting and dragon-types. Milcery has two abilities, Sweet Veil, which prevents the Pokemon and allies from falling asleep and it’s hidden ability, Aroma Veil, which protects allies from attacks that limit their move choices. Of these two, Aroma Veil is effective if your team is dependent on specific moves, though Sweet Veil is more useful overall. Dazzling Gleam serves as Milcery’s main STAB (same-type attack bonus) move, utilizing its high special attack, Mystical Fire also utilizes Milcery’s high special attack and serves as type coverage. Recover allows Milcery to heal itself, while Calm Mind raises Milcery’s already high special attack and special defense.
