Pokemon that need evolutions/pre-evolutions

List of all non-evolving Pokemon throughout the series. Pick which ones you think need an evo./pre-evo!



There are a handful of Pokemon that we look at and wonder "Why the hell does (insert Pokemon here) not have an evolved form?" Here are a few that stand out in my mind and why:

Needs a pre-evolved form

Kangaskhan- Yeah you know that cute little blue guy in her pouch? WE WANT IT! Ever since eggs were introduced in Gold and Silver, I'm still completely perplexed at why Game Freak never decided to include that little dude in there. I mean they gave that THING (Jynx) a pre evolution but not Kangaskhan? Seriously what the heck...

Can't think of anymore for the time-being. Help me out here!

Needs an evolution form

Eevee- IMO, Eevee needs the most obvious type of evolution- training it to level 30 and having it evolve into a normal type! Seriously what's wrong with that idea? I'm sure there are some people out there that simply like the normal-typed Eevee, so why not give it a simple evolution? It might take away from Eevee's uniqueness of having all of these complex methods of making it evolve, so I'm not sure if everyone will agree with me on this one. It's just an idea that I personally like.

Qwilfish- Okay so Misdreavus, Gligar, and Murkrow got evolutions. That's a start, but now we need one for Qwilfish. He's one of those Pokemon that's pretty much completely useless without an evolved form. I'm sure nobody can disagree with this, seeing as how useless/unknown he is.

Delibird- Delibird is awesome, and I think an evolution for of it would make this very unique Pokemon even awesomer. Think of a larger/fatter Delibird with a santa hat. That's an epic idea in my opinion.

Sableye- An evolution for this one has a LOT of potential. Sableye is the very first Pokemon in the series to not have any weaknesses (type-wise), and it would still be the only one if Spiritomb never came along and stole it's thunder. Sableye is one of your most unique Pokemon Game Freak, so give it an evolution.

Tropius- Another amazing Pokemon with amazing potential. I personally feel that Tropius would be a LOT more popular if it had a bad*** evolution.

What do you guys think? Agree/disagree? Do you feel that I left some Pokemon out? Have some ideas of your own? I'd like to hear them!

an evolution for Qwilfish would be so much fun and is one of my most wanted things, as long as they don't make him bulky. He'd be an amazing lead with the right stats, plus Spikes- Toxic Spikes, Swift Swim plus Rain Dance, and Explosion. Given the right stats, it could easily become the best poision type.

That would be a worse disaster than Blissey. I imagine it would look exactly the same but with stupid **** put on it, like Blissey.

Corsola is a bit hopeless. Water/Rock is a horrible typing, and unless it got some massive movepool/stat changes, I don't see it ever being fun to use in game or out.

Corsola's movepool is not bad, the typing is bad but that alone doesn't cut it off completely IMO, there are pokémon with bad typing who are considered decent. Needs stats to back it off, but an evolution usually means better stats, I suppose Corsola could use good defenses and average to decent offensive stats on both sides.

Tauros wouldn't mind getting a pre-evo / evo.

Zangoose and Seviper want evolutions, although Zangoose needs one more.

Oh, and Torkoal needs an evo that can stop something other than Scyther.

The thing is Ninty makes Eeeveelutions Gen 1-3 Special Types, which means unless they decide to irrationally break the trend, Dragon eevee is the last eeveelution left. Thats why Normal Eevee hasn't happened and probably wont :p

kangaskahn needs a baby form, please stop making mothers come out of eggs

a baby form for milktank and tauros would be cool

mr. mime needs to be 100% male

there are a bunch of single form pokes with crap stats that could use EVOs (ditto and unown are novelty pokes, no evos for them) especially these few (i'm gonna list possible evo types):

-farfetch'd (fighting/flying): please, give him one, he wants it really bad
-sableye (ghost/dark): make it cool, it's more ****** that spiritomb
-mawile (steel): it's got everything but stats, so evolve it
-pachirisu (electric/normal): why this thing never got an evo in the first place is beyond me, also why isn't it part normal (it does look like a regular poke, so give it a cool typing)
-chatot (normal/flying): it's got a unique move so make it usable
-dunsparce (normal/ground): make people remember him
-castform (normal): you got a good idea, just make it better
-qwilfish (water/poison): he's a ****ing blowfish, just make a bigger one and we're set

and some pokes could evolve more like these:
-Delcatty (Normal): why does it have such bad stats, it's an evolved poke with worse stats than the early bugs (butterfree, beedrill, etc), fix it
-sudowoodo (rock/fighting): just think about it, it would be cool
-mightyena (dark): he's cool looking but he sucks, change him

Sudowoodo would be pretty lol if he was given an evolution and it was Rock / Grass.

Honestly, I think Ledian needs an evolution. Compared to its counterpart Ariados, Ledian looks a lot less "complete."

lol @ Garchomp evolution.

Eevee needs not only a normal type evo but also a evolution for every other type. Preferably dragon, steel and fighting before anything else.

Wailord needs an even bigger evolution that doesn't suck. I can't believe they made such a massive pokemon so weak. I'd like to see a Ditto evo as well.

Ahhh I forgot about Farfetch'd. That wouldn't be a bad move either.

And a Mawile evolution... I can't imagine those jaws of deah getting any bigger. *shudders*

EDIT: Ooooh a Ditto evolution! Now THAT would be something! I wouldn't mind seeing that at all!

I would actually love to see Mr. Mime and Jynx get evolutions, you know, that aren't so humanoid. It's weird enough to work.

Id like an evolution that links Tauros and Miltank together.

Maybe a prevo in the form of a cow baby that would evolve into either of those pokemon based on gender...

A baby cow splitting into Tauros and Miltank would be interesting, but the trick would be how they would make it evolve if it existed.

UHHHH :urg:

Evolve at x level based on gender. Say, Male Lv. 16 Caffle (first makeshift name that came to mind) evolves into Tauros, Female Lv. 16 Caffle evolves into Miltank.

But see each generation has brought a new method of evolving (I think). so I would think that 5th Gen. would bring something new as well.

Hopefully.

Even though mawile deserves an evo, I don't wanna see nintendo f*** him up. they would probably do a good job on a prevo, since the new prevos arent NEARLY as bad as the new evos (tangrowth likiliky etc.)

Well there's no way we can know right now, but the obvious answer is there.

I'm either going to edit in a chart I'm working on, or post it in my next post...

I don't know, I think chingling and bonsly and all the other babies are pretty lame and useless. Personally, I like the evos. They give you a viable method of using old pokemon. Licklicky and Tangrowth can actually get some use in standard play. Heck, Tangrowth was even OU for awhile. I'd rather see pokemon like that than a new prevo.

I'm going to love the day that they retcon the Nido family and merge Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀. To avoid screwing up the Pokedex numbering too much, it could playone of these ways:
29. Sandslash Evolution
30. Nidoran
31. Nidorina
32. Nidoqueen
33. Nidorino
34. Nidoking
29. Nidoran
30. Nidorina
31. Nidoqueen
32. Nidorino
33. Nidoking
34. Nido____ (alt. evolution that both Nidorina and Nidorino can evolve into; neither Queen or King, and thus, dual-gendered... Nidorook?)

Nidoran Male and Female can already breed together and have a 50/50 chance of producing a M or F, IIRC. What more do you want than that? They're essentially the first Gender Difference Pokemon, with the largest gender difference, so much that it effects their ENTIRE appearence and stats, them being so different, that they also each deserve their own Dex entries.

Nidorook? Haha, you just referenced chess. At least I hope you did.

Nidoroy sounds funnier. Roy stems from royal.

Sandslash getting an evolution would be interesting. Would it gain the Poison-type it looks like it possesses?

I already told you what more I want than that - I want them retconned and merged. Man, you really have no perception of concept :ohwell:. Sure, they inspired the gender differentiation introduced in 2nd Gen, but you think Nintendo wanted to make them so incredibly different? They were kind of forced to, since the two were trapped in the Pokedex as separate species. They did as much as they could to make them independent. I suggest a retcon to merge the two families. It's logical.

And yes Tery, my suggestion of Nidorook is entirely based on Chess :laugh:

nidoran will never become a single pokemon, if it did, it would've happened 2nd generation and ultimario hit it right on the spot (nidoran-M and nidoran-f have different base stats, making them "the same pokemon" is stupid when they're clearly not)

but please, make it so nidorina and nidoqueen can breed (it still baffles me that they can't but nidoran-f can)

milktank and tauros do not need an evo, it's just 4th gen screwed them over
they're both bulky but not enough to withstand the hits from OU

i also don't get why their base stats are different (meaning numbers in general), look:

HP/ATK/DEF/SP.ATK/SP.DEF/SPD

Milktank:
95/80/105/40/70/100
Tauros:
75/100/95/40/70/110

doesn't make sense, but nidoking and nidoqueen don't have the same base stat numbers either, so whatever


also, why did mantine get a prevo and skarmory didn't, they were supposed to be the flying physical/special wall combo (mantine's typing and the fact blissey was out there doesn't help), just look at their stats:

Mantine:
65/40/70/80/140/70
Skarmory:
65/80/140/40/70/70

the attacks and defenses are just switch and they have a different typing, other than that, they were meant to be a combo

A mini Skarmory would be awesome, actually. Just give it the Mantyke'd stat spread based on Skarmory, call it Skarmick (lol) or something, and you're all set.

I'm still 110% for merging both Nidoran species. Again, it's about concept, not statistics. I also think retcon is great to bring into a franchise every now and then. Essentially, 3rd gen was a retcon of first, so there's a good chance 5th will be a retcon of all four past generations. With retcon, anything is game.

But yeah, I completely agree on the Mantine/Skarmory ordeal.

I think fusing the Nido families will get HUGE amounts of hate though, seeing as once they "mess with the classics" by changing the Gen 1 Pokedex, it'll cause even more ridicule than normal to the 1st-2nd Gen-only players.

Fusing the Nidos will hurt Pokemon's rep a ton and whatever "right" feeling anyone might think it'll have will be complete outclassed by even MORE fun poked at Pokemon, IMO.

As if Nintendo hasn't already "messed with the classics" with Munchlax, Tangrowth, Lickilicky, Magmortar, etc. They already crossed the line and pissed off dozens like myself. Now that they've bit the bullet though, I wouldn't mind them going back and messing around more. Merge the Nidorans? Okay. Evolve numerous others? Okay.

Fusing two measly Pokemon is not going to hurt its rep A TON. In the eyes of those like myself, it would even help it.

Oh of course not, they would most likely never do something like that. But, it'd be a smooth move on their part and I'd back them completely.

It's difficult to imagine Tropius evolving into anything, given its size, stature, and design. I can only see it getting fatter. Though I'm not opposed to the idea at all because I love Tropius.

Castform with 90 / 90 / 100 / 100 / 90 / 90 for an evolution would make it the most awesome Pokemon ever.

It's such a great novelty that it needs superior stats. As did / does Sableye.

making nidoran 1 pokemon entry would be worse than giving a pokemon an un-needed evolution

poke evo's are okay, you don't have to evolve your poke if you don't want to but to completely change something that has been in the pokemon games since the start is just...bad and doesn't feel right

we've become so accustomed to seeing an entry for Nidoran-M and another one for Nidoram-F that making it into 1 entry just doesn't feel right.

also, those castform stats are redonkulous, it would have a BTS of 560, higher than arcanine (who has really good base stats, just a crap typing and a move pool that's just....bad), yea it's only 5 higher than Arcanine's but that just doesn't bode well

Well contrary to your feelings, it feels completely right to me. You mention that "we've become so accustomed" to seeing them that way, well I've been conditioned since 2nd gen to believe that gender is a statistic introduced so not to double Pokemon over in the Pokedex. Really, having Nidoran-M and Nidoran-F in there was a goof. It worked for 1st Gen because there were no genders, but come 2nd Gen, they stuck out like sore thumbs.
