Talk:Methods of evolution

Should also add a mention about trading with an special item. --Red! 13:00, 13 March 2006 (CST)

You are free to add it yourself. FabuVinny 15:22, 13 March 2006 (CST)

Indeed, however sometimes I feel inadequate in my Pokémon lore as it happens that I was introduced to it with Saphire and lack some greater knowledge (such as, for example, the mention of it beginning with Gen II Pokémon) --Red! 21:19, 13 March 2006 (CST)

Methods of evolution vs. methods for determining evolved Pokémon

I think that the inclusion of the Tyrogue evolution in the Others section is wrong. Tyrogue will always evolve according to level; what changes is which Pokémon it will evolve into. Same is true about Eevee evolving into Espeon/Umbreon, and about Wurmple's evolution. User142 (Talk) 12:25, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. We could probably put Espeon and Umbreon under the Happiness-based, Umbreon going with Lisyan and Espeon going with Riolu and Subomi. As for Tyrogue, Sneasel, and Tamanta, they could go in separate subsections of level up, one for by level up with a determinant of stats, one for level up with determinant of held item, and one for level up with determinant of party Pokémon. Or something. Maybe do sections like

• Evo trigger 1
  • Evo determinant 1
  • Evo determinant 2
  • Evo determinant 3
• Evo trigger 2
  • Evo determinant 1

Only have them in sections with the equals signs, y'know? For example,

==Level up== These Pokémon evolve when they reach a certain level.

• Bulbasaur
  • Ivysaur at 16
• Charmander
  • Charmeleon at 16
• Squirtle
  • Wartortle at 16
• etc.

===Stat=== These Pokémon evolve depending on their stats at the time of evolution.

• Tyrogue
  • Hitmonlee if Attack > Defense
  • Hitmonchan if Attack < Defense
  • Hitmontop if Attack = Defense

===Hold item=== These Pokémon evolve when they are holding a certain held item and are leveled up.

• Sneasel
  • Weavile if holding Sharp Claw
• Gligar
  • Glion if holding Sharp Claw
• Pinpuku
  • Chansey if holding Round Stone

===Party Pokémon=== These Pokémon evolve if there are certain other Pokémon in the same party as them when they level up.

• Tamanta
  • Mantine if Remoraid is in the party

===Location of training=== These Pokémon evolve if they are trained and level up in a certain location.

• Magneton
  • Jibacoil if in the Tengan Mountains
• Eevee
  • Leafia if near Moss Rock
  • Glacia if near Ice Rock

==Trade== These Pokémon evolve when they are traded between cartriges.

• Graveler
  • Golem
• Machoke
  • Machamp
• etc.

===Hold item===

• Porygon
  • Porygon2 with Up-Grade
• Scyther
  • Scizor with Metal Coat
• Slowpoke
  • Slowking with King's Rock
• etc.

Maybe we could do category links to those specific categories. That'd require us categorizing them all by evolution, not just those select, special ones I already did. And even that took a bit of time. Should we do it? Tom Temprotran 20:44, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Cleaned Up?

Well, I went through and redid quite a bit of the page. Does anyone have any other suggestions for it? Ruby 04:04, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
