List of Pokémon by evolutionary line

This is a list of Pokémon by their evolutionary line. That is, it is a list of Pokémon in their National Pokédex order, but it also includes later-released Evolutions and pre-Evolutions closer to the first Pokémon in their line to be released. This means that Pichu will appear before Pikachu, instead of at its National Pokédex position of 172, and Magby and Magmortar will appear next to Magmar. Evolution lines are named by the species that is first in National Pokédex order. For example, although Azurill is the lowest Pokémon in its evolutionary line, it is still known as the Marill line, because Marill was released first and therefore has a lower National Pokédex number.

The methods of Evolution listed include all means of inducing a Pokémon's Evolution in the core series games, Pokémon Colosseum, and Pokémon XD. The first method listed is the first that was available. In some games, some methods may not be available (such as Eevee's Evolution to Espeon or Umbreon in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen) or practical (such as Feebas, who will always evolve if its Beauty is high enough, but its Beauty cannot be affected in all games).

Some Pokémon may breed and produce Eggs that hatch into Pokémon that they, otherwise, aren't related to via Evolution. As such, this article considers these Pokémon to belong to separate evolutionary lines. Pokémon forms that don't evolve from any regular members of its line are regarded as belonging in the same line.

In total, there are 541 evolutionary lines as of Generation IX.

Trivia

• Professor Rowan is said in the games to have studied Pokémon Evolution and determined that 90% of all Pokémon are related in some way by Evolution. As of Generation IX, with 201 Pokémon out of 1025 total that are not part of any evolutionary line, this number is inaccurate, as 80.39% of Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. If Legendary and Mythical Pokémon and Ultra Beasts are excluded, the percentage of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 89.57% (824 out of 920). In previous generations:
  • 25 out of 151 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation I, meaning 83.44% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 5 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (20 out of 146 unevolving Pokémon), the percentage of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 86.3%.
  • 43 out of 251 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation II, meaning 82.87% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 11 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (32 out of 240 unevolving Pokémon), the percentage of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 86.67%.
  • 73 out of 386 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation III, meaning 81.09% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 21 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (52 out of 365 unevolving Pokémon), the percentage of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 85.75%.
  • 77 out of 493 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation IV, meaning 84.38% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 35 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (42 out of 458 unevolving Pokémon), the percentage of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 90.83%.
  • 104 out of 649 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation V, meaning 83.98% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 48 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (56 out of 601 unevolving Pokémon), the percentage of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 90.68%.
  • 115 out of 721 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation VI, meaning 84.05% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 54 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (61 out of 667 unevolving Pokémon), the percentage of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 90.85%.
  • 146 out of 809 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation VII, meaning 81.95% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 81 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon and Ultra Beasts (65 out of 728 unevolving Pokémon), the percentage of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 91.07%.
  • 166 out of 905 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation VIII, meaning 81.66% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 93 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon and Ultra Beasts (73 out of 812 unevolving Pokémon), the percentage of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 91.01%.
• By far, a plurality of three-stage evolutionary lines were introduced in Generation I, with 29 such lines having their roots there (though not necessarily their most unevolved or most evolved forms). Because of branched Evolution, 31 of the second-Evolution Pokémon can be counted as members of Generation I evolutionary lines. Generation V has the second most, with 20 three-stage lines (none due to branching). Generation III has the next most, with 16 three-stage lines that end in 18 Pokémon (again due to branching). Generations II, VIII, VI, VII, and IV have the fewest, with only ten, nine, eight, eight, and six lines, respectively, that end in a third member.
  • Generation V, however, introduced the most original three-stage Evolutions, as many of the three stage-Evolutions stemming from Generation I include Pokémon not introduced in the same generation as their evolutionary relatives.
• Not including alternate forms, eight Pokémon lines consist of more than three Pokémon. They are the Oddish, Poliwag, Tyrogue, Eevee, Wurmple, Ralts, Cosmog, and Applin lines.
