Raising Kinsects in Monster Hunter Wilds is one of the brand new mechanics that Insect Glaive players will have to contend with. Rather than simply purchasing the bug you want from the shop, you can now "raise" the two basic Kinsects into a selection of three types each, and then upgrade those three types into an additional two.
Yes, that means there are 20 Kinsect options overall in Wilds, though admittedly only 12 of those are of the highest rarity. Raising Kinsects costs monster materials, and since your bug pal is being upgraded, you won't be able to see all of the available options unless you make one of every single Kinsect. Lucky for you I did just that. Here I'll explain how to unlock raising Kinsects and provide a table with every Kinsect evolution lower down.
