eviler
Further from good
Eviler is the comparative form of evil, meaning more evil: The sequel's villain was eviler than the original's.
While *more evil* is more common in speech and writing, eviler remains grammatically correct.
Some find it awkward-sounding, which may explain its relative rarity.
