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.

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.
