Stop killing it. It takes multiple stacks of evolution food. Always. I've raised 2 dozen jumbotenders. Nothing is broken it's just stupidly low rate of evolution.

I JUST evolved a new Sabotender a week ago and it turned into a Jumbotender today. Raise all 4 at a time one will evolve eventually.

I've seen multiple people report it just has a really awful success rate. It's not a bug, it's a grind.
