Brock's Pineco evolved into Forretress in Entei at Your Own Risk in order to save a bunch of Pokémon at a hot spring from Team Rocket. Brock's Forrestress was the only Steel-type Pokémon owned by a main character from its evolution until Battle Frontier, when Brock's Onix evolved into Steelix. When Brock went to Hoenn, the only Pokémon he brought with him was his Forretress.
