Data on the evolution of Pokémon is stored as a series of 6-byte structures in Generation III. These structures must be aligned on a 4-byte boundary, and each Pokémon species has 5 such entries, for a total of 40 bytes per species.
In all Generation III games, evolution data is situated between the Pokémon move list data pool and the actual Pokémon move list index; see Move list data structures in Generation III for a list of locations.
Pokémon Evolution Data Structure
Each species has 5 substructures, as Eevee has 5 evolution options. The overall structure is laid out as follows:
| Offset | Size | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | 8 | Substructure | First Substructure |
| 0x08 | 8 | Substructure | Second Substructure |
| 0x10 | 8 | Substructure | Third Substructure |
| 0x18 | 8 | Substructure | Fourth Substructure |
| 0x20 | 8 | Substructure | Fifth Substructure |
Pokémon Evolution Data Substructure
The 6-byte substructure is organized as follows:
| Offset | Size | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | 2 | uint16_t | Method of evolution - How this Pokémon will evolve. This can be one of the following values:
|
| 0x02 | 2 | uint16_t | Parameter - The meaning of this is dependent on the method of evolution - the item, the level, etc. Not used and zeroed out where applicable. Note that the parameter is used for the beauty threshold, but is not used for friendship thresholds. |
| 0x04 | 2 | uint16_t | Target Pokémon - The Pokémon which this Pokémon will evolve to. See List of Pokémon by index number (Generation III) for a list of values. |
| 0x06 | 2 | uint16_t | Padding due to alignment. Zeroed out. |
All unused entries will be entirely zeroed-out.
