Pkmn:Evolution

Evolution (Japanese: ???) is a Pokémon transformation that changes a Pokémon's species in the Template:GameTitle. It made its debut in Template:GameTitle in 2005. When a Pokémon evolves, its appearance changes. Types, moves, abilities, as well as other characteristics, may also change.

Requirements for evolution often vary. Some Pokémon are capable of evolution upon reaching a certain level, or require a certain item. In some instances, Pokémon need to find themselves at specific locations in order to evolve, while in others, Pokémon are simply able to evolve in dungeons.

Pokémon wearing a Harmony Scarf can temporarily evolve to their last stage when near the Tree of Life.

World threatening events may prevent Pokémon from evolving.

While typically thought of as a permanent transformation, there are rare instances in which a Pokémon may be able to devolve back to a previous form. Pokémon always evolve and devolve into species that belong to the same family.
