What Pokemon could benefit from having a pre-evolition or an evolution?>a shared baby form for Miltank and Tauros>a baby Pinsir>Skarmory evolution
>>59163061Its called a deevolution, troon.
>Gen 1Pinsir, Ditto, Tauros, Aerodactyl>Gen 2Ledyba, Sunflora, Skarmory, Shuckle, MiltankHonestly I could go on and on with just ideas for these, for instance, what about a Elekid who if it evolves at night becomes an entirely different line, or making Sycther the physical Eevee, he already has Rock/Steel. Ghost would be cool.
>>59163071I had an idea of a Scyther pre-evolution called like, Syckle,
A shared baby between Volbeat and Illumise
>>59163061Fuck that, bring back Plux
>>59163075Honestly mantis aren't much different as babies, I think it really needs either no more evolutions or to get some type of Dragon or Ghost evolution. Really if I had any choice I'd give Shuckle an evolution that is sort of a mixture of Hydrapple and Tangela, and then give a baby Carnivine and an evolution to him as well.
>>59163095Shearwig, Pinsir, Plux
>>59163061>benefitUnless they learn new moves, adding a pre evolution doesn't do anything for a pokemon.Look at Mantyke, Mantyke did absolutely nothing for Mantine. The best baby forms exist to either take a pokemon out of Little Cup (Happiny), or learn moves previously unavailable (not really any good examples of this, but imagine if a baby Flamigo learned more Water moves that Flamigo itself can now use)
crossgen prevos are the biggest waste of dex space, they should all be permanently cut
>>59163061>Skarmory evolutionOnly the highest forms of Pokemon can Mega Evolve, so seeing as Skarmory has a Mega Evolution, this will never happen.
In every gen there's always new evos or variations of old, overlooked mons, right? I wonder which ones they'll have in gen 10. I think there's still plenty of gen 2 mons that could use some love, like Ledian, Mantine, Octillary, Ariados, Forretress, Xatu even Furret and Noctowl could use a regional variant. All two stage lines with underwhelming stats.
>>59163061Skarmory is the last mon that deserves an evolution, also its counterpart is Mantine and it has a baby instead of an evolution

>>59163278Eternal Flower Floette.
>>59163061Add Bouffalant to the bovine gang so the pre-evo is like Tyrogue.
>>59164954>Eternal Flower Floette.Is a one-off and only because it got irradiated.
>>59165002Okay you win.De-radiated Skarmory
>>59165002That's a mythical Pokemon.
Weezing.>Though rare, triplets have been found.Fuck Galarian Weezing for not cashing in on this.
>>59163061>Ponyta, Grimar, Vulpix, Growlithe, Meowth, Tangela, Doduo, Goldeen, Paras>Pinsir & Heracross>Tauros & Miltank
Let Hariyama evolve into a yokozuna, give it Purifying Salt (could also be a Mega)Wailord evolution into a Water/Rock living island. Gets an expanded movepool with Rock/Ground/Grass options, plus Dry Skin as an ability.Avalugg evolution into an Ice/Steel type with Heatproof. Partly just to enable Eviolite Avalugg.Mantine evolution with a more triangular shape that resembles a stealth bomber. Doesn't increase its stats much, but replaces Swift Swim with Magic Guard, potentially learns Teleport.

>>59163278>>59165002There've been a few cases of variant Pokémon that have some extra boon but can't evolve>Notch-Eared Pichu>Cosplay Pikachu>Pikachu in a Cap>Anything with a Gigantamax Factor>Partner Pikachu + Partner EeveeIf they formalised this as a mechanic, it would allow for a lot of interesting event mons. One of the simplest ways to do it would be an increased level cap, effectively multiplying all of a Pokémon's stats (plus allowing for uniquely powerful Seismic Toss etc.).E.g. a Magikarp that can't evolve, but knows 4 moves and has a level cap of 200. Normally Magikarp is a BST 200 Pokémon with base stats of>HP: 20>Atk: 10>Def: 55>SpAtk: 15>SpDef: 20>Spd: 80but at max level the increased cap makes it the equivalent of a Pokémon with a BST of 400~490 and these base stats:>HP: 40~56>Atk: 20~35>Def: 110~125>SpAtk: 30~45>SpDef: 40~55>Spd: 160~175...and that's before taking into account the doubled EVs. I.e. add an extra +31/31/0.5 to the base stats of your choice. Make one of its event moves Body Press and now you're wrecking everyone while outspeeding even max-investment Regieleki.
>>59163223Babies can be good for campaignshitting purposes bc they allow you to get mid/late game 'mons to your team earlier. But this only really became a thing from Gen 4 onwards, since before that they were exclusive to breeding.
>>59165449Give me my evo-locked lv150 shiny Honedge that learns Behemoth Blade + Bitter Blade
>>59164951Girafarig got an evo
>>59165449Why not just make cosplay Raichu?
>>59165582Oh I never played ScarVio
>>59163071>DittoHow?
>>59165628They're actually very good on S2.
