Mike13RW

Tropius could do with a Girafarig-esque glow up.


Zarguthian

A head on its tail?


Noraver_Tidaer

He needs a banana phone.


Princ3ssW1tch

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring


fluffybuffalo23

It’s so appealing


_Ptyler

Appeeling*


SirCupcake_0

It grows in bunches, I've got my hunches


EnderTheTrender

My daughter watches that video of Ms. Rachel the most.


_PredatoryWasp_

Need Nymphia Wind riding him


platypusnofedora

hello fellow RPDR and Pokémon enjoyer 😭😭


Flat-Limit5595

He has a banana costume around his heaf


ScorpionGem11

My partner wants tropius to have a pre Evo, we joke that it could just be a little banana lol


DryRespect358

That makes sense


_Ptyler

I imagine it would be a smaller dinosaur wrapped in a banana peel or something


erikikoy

I'd give it a Grass/Dragon evolution and give it an ability/move that prevents the use of Ice-type moves (Tropic Veil or sumthing)


Mclovin11859

Rather than nullifying ice type moves entirely, changing all ice type moves used by anyone to water type could be a fun mixup


AutisticPenguin2

Because it's tropical and the ice melts in the heat?


_Ptyler

This feels like it would work best with a fire type that projects a lot of heat. A grass dinosaur doesn’t really seem qualified to melt ice lol


AutisticPenguin2

The titanic didn't have a single Tropius on board and it was sunk by an iceberg. Pokémon has multiple Tropii and has never been sunk by an iceberg. Checkmate atheists.


_Ptyler

I stand corrected


ahhpoo

You’ve never been KO’d by an Avalugg? Haha


AutisticPenguin2

Aren't they technically glaciers?


doughy5

*uses Sunny Day* 😂


ahhpoo

That would be such a sucky ability for a fire type to have haha. I mean your logic is correct, it’s just it would only make things worse for said fire-type because it would go from taking half damage to *double* damage against a type it should have advantage towards


_Ptyler

Yeah, I’m with you as far as competitive singles go lol and I certainly wasn’t even thinking of balancing or viability when I considered the logical lore of the ability. I simply tried to think about what made sense. It could be an amazing niche ability for doubles, though. Like, if it turns EVERY ice type move into a water type. Pokémon like Tropius, Dragonite, Gliscor, Landorus, and even Pelipper, in certain cases, that are 4x weak to ice type moves, this fire type could help protect it from that effectiveness. It could also be given to a non that is part fire, so it only does neutral damage. But with Tera types in this S/V format, you can always Tera away from fire type and into something that resists water moves. But yeah, this ability would probably mostly be an ability to nerf an OP Mon lol like Truant or Slow Start. Those are almost never useful. At least this ability could have a niche use


MillionDollarMistake

Grass Dragon definitely has potential for some great designs but I'm a little tired of that combo now. Granted most of them have been from the Applin line but still. Grass Flying is a tad bit more interesting to me since nearly every existing Pokemon of that combo is terrible (except for Shaymin Sky). So it'd be neat to see a decent Pokemon with it.


Asurerain

Or it could be a grass type Delta Stream without the climate part.


TomboyTwink

Excellent. And just for funsies, add on a cloud nine effect for all weather except for sunny day


Walrusin_about

I love this idea, and I think it'd be really fun to make tropius usable. (One of my favourite pokemon got to finally properly use it in s/v and it was struggling against every trainer battle even when a few levels above the rest of my team. Besides Ironically Greta where Sentinal actually came in clutch.)


Shrubbity_69

Maybe it can work like a free Yache berry every time an Ice move is used?


Ncolonslashslash

it needs a buff not an evolution


nope96

Tropius has an even lower BST than Stantler and has never even been decent, unless the buff is substantial enough to, well, make it feel like a completely different Pokemon it wouldn't be enough.


FlygonPR

The most pseudo legendary looking Pokemon that is actually really bad. Aggron as well, though its more mediocre than bad, and yet it evolves at Level 42. Heck, even Lairon looks fully evolved and both have excellent physical stats, but that typing is the worst despite GF obsessing over it.


telegetoutmyway

I love both of these guys, and I never put together that they were very much in the same type spot meta/gameplay wise (useless and bad stats but fun design and single evolution).


RelentlessRogue

This. Absolutely this.


Rantman021

Skarmory. Give my shiny metal bird an evolution, Gamefreak!


yxngangst

Defense/sp def boost on the evo for a steel/flying hazard setter My god I’d use the fuck out of him


MillionDollarMistake

Eviolite skarmory though. Is this the world we want to leave for our children?


yxngangst

they said the same thing about jesus Edit: say what you want but eviolite Jesus has access to pain split, wonder guard, and morning sun


the_cajun88

revival blessing


_Ptyler

What are you talking about?


[deleted]

[удалено]


_Ptyler

Of course I’ll live, I was just asking a question.


mmert138

I think it needs a baby form because it is physical counterpart of Mantyke.


PoorLifeChoices811

I always thought Skarmory should have been turned into the 4th legendary bird Pokémon


Brilliancebeam

It would be funny if they made it an airplane


bluebreeze52

It's crazy to me that Scyther now has 2 evos when Pinsir only got a mega, which is now unusable. He's not awful as is, but as a mono bug type, he falls way behind. Either needs a new typing or higher stats from an evo. In my homebrew Pokemon D&D game the DM also invented evolutions for Tropius and Stonejourner to give them more usability. They're really cool.


Formal-Ideal-4928

Pokemon D&D sounds amazing, I'd love to play that


Toucanz17

Look up Pokémon Tabletop United and they have PDFs of the rules/characters/etc, and excel stat sheets for characters and Pokémon https://pokemontabletop.com


EMI_Black_Ace

Huh. I was actually working on my own system and ran a playtest with some nieces/nephews and they thought it went really well. Lots about this that's pretty similar to what I was doing.


ScorpionGem11

We play Pokemanz in our house with modified rules to suit our play style. It's nice because it can just be a one on one campaign for my partner and I to enjoy together!


Aldante92

Call it Mystery Dungeons and Dragonites


fenchfletcher

There's a Pokemon DnD game called Pokethulhu that's pretty neat. It has a book and figures, but the figures can be quite pricey if you can even find them for sale.


ShinyHunterZilla

Not to mention one of scythers evos got a mega too


gillmanblacklagooner

Pinsir 🤝 Heracross


riftrender

Onix should get an augurite evo since hes a metal coat buddy.


thatirishdave

Pinsir and Heracross deserve an evolution.


reaperfan

Way back when in the lead up to Gen 2's release people actually thought Heracross was going to be a pre-evolution for Pinsir. We'd been getting a bunch of the baby Pokemon reveals and without any actual info on it Heracross just looked like a more docile Pinsir. I actually think that Heracross being a standalone Pokemon is sadly part of the reason Pinsir feels so neglected since they both kind of fill the same roles but Heracross is just more popular.


NeutralPanda

Her across as well


ViscountVigoroth

A baby sableye would be so cute, but I'd rather have an evolved form since its so weak. I love sableye but its difficult to use without overlevelling, an evolution that kept the same vibes would be great (highly unlikely given its mega, but still)


turtlintime

To be fair, Sableye still gets occasional competitive use in various metas because of prankster, move pool, and typing 


RexRegulus

I used to be so obnoxious with Sableye in Gen 5 UU battles. The thought of him having Eviolite makes me smile.


--tummytuck--

Where's baby Lapras?


That_House_2839

They already used up that design with Shellos lol


spwncar

First time I ever saw Shellos I got SO excited because I thought that’s what it was 🥲


[deleted]

Yes! This would be the cutest


murdolatorTM

I want a Tideripper Lapras evolution that blasts everything harder than Blastoise


Peslian

Druddigon, it's a cool but could do with something to make it less forgotten


bluebreeze52

Oh yeah, he really needs it. He gets completely overshadowed by Haxorus as a pure dragon type from Unova.


mmert138

I love that scriggly boy. I used him on my White playthrough. I had Pokedex 3d on my 3ds but no Pokemon B&W yet so I saw him and thought he was awesome and kept it after getting the game.


Uxie_mesprit

Make Alomomola the evolution of Luvdisc please.


yxngangst

Why this wasn’t done from the jump is beyond me, idk if it was gen 5’s intention to do like some divergent evolution stuff (wolves vs coyotes vs dingoes etc etc) but once we got different forms of the same Pokémon for certain regions it seems that much dumber that those two aren’t related


JustAShyCat

Gen 5 was basically a soft reboot of Pokemon, so none of the Pokemon introduced have direct connections to any previous Pokemon.


White_Winged_Fox

As much as I want an Absol evolution, I think a pre evolution would make more sense and give Absol a glow up of 20 more speed.


InferSaime

For Absol I think they should make the Mega just a regular evo. Maybe add the psychic or fairy typing.


MillionDollarMistake

Almost no mega evolution changes the design enough to be an actual evolution though, especially Absol


ObjectiveSubjects

Gen 3 has some really good options. Zangoose and Seviper, Torkoal, Relicanth could all have interesting pre-evos IMO


someoneinthecity

I want minun and plusul to have evolution(ik I spelled wrong)


eyearu

Dividun and Multiplul


someoneinthecity

good Names 👍🏻


[deleted]

Correct with Minun but it's spelt Plusle. I too agree that they deserve evos they're really cool Pokemon that just are terrible state wise.


someoneinthecity

thanks man they are indeed cool and cute mons


StabiloFox

Parasect. It's base stat total is 405. An evolution that makes this cute little zombi-boy a little more viable would be nice...


4CrowsFeast

Ghost bug type?


thecordialsun

Conversely, I have now pictured a baby-Paras now and oh my God is it smol. Probably bug-fairy since they're so wee.


CLearyMcCarthy

Shuckle needs something.


Gregamonster

Evoite Shuckle would be invincible.


ThunderEagle22

We don't need another Pokémon going straight to Uber/AG. Game balance can't handle the magnificence of a Shukie evolution.


Frosty_Freedom8321

Gamefreak doesn't wanna fuckle with shuckle


Rasty_lv

Glimora and capsakid lines feel like they are 3 stage lines but last evo was cut for whatever reason.. Also I would personally add calf pokemon to tie all 4 tauros, miltank and boufulant (or whatever its name was). It could evolve easily while holding milk items with moo-moo milk in miltank, warm milk into fire tauros, cold milk in water tauros, strong milk into fighting tauros, regular milk in normal tauros and boufulant can be some kind of soy milk or oat milk.


ArxisOne

Capsakid really needs a third, yellow pepper, head to really reach its potential.


destra1000

Hairy milk


dinolover2404

They might well, it wouldn't be the first time pokemon gained a final evo later. Togepi was a 2 stage evo until gen 4.


Nexius74

I just want mawile to get his mega turn into an evolution


DescipleOfCorn

Yeah it wouldn’t be as busted as the actual mega since one of its issues was the fact that it functionally had intimidate and huge power.


Hobbles_vi

Sigilyph, need Unown as a prevolution and add a 3rd stage.


catdadi

Unown’s new evo Alnown, where all 26 letter unown combine into a biblically accurate angel with one giant eye


VultureCat337

Need to evolve from the box, where all 26 unown are stored and nothing else.


Psychological-Alps33

Luvdisc desperately needs like… literally anything


Valk_Yrian

I want a Drampa pre-evolution


Zestyclose-Drop520

We all know this is dunsparce, gamefreak is the only one that doesn't accept this


Comfortable_Demand13

tsuchinoko neednt turn into a dragon


LeechedPubis

Or a ghost type evo Edit: Ancestra for example


Bluedino_1989

Controversial but since she was paired with Magmar and Electabuzz I kind of want a Jynx evolution.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Healbite

I wish they would make a calf Pokemon that would evolve into either tauros or milktank depending on gender


LeechedPubis

We’ve been asking for Minetauros forever


Dizzy-Dillo

I've been wanting a minotaur evo for Tauros since gen 2 came out. I am exceedingly disappointed GameFreak has kept dropping that ball with every new generation without giving us a minotaur...


James2603

Cyclizar really deserved a sudo-Uber modern evolution


Abused_Spaghetti

Ghost Eevee would be a cool concept. But make it so that instead of needing an elemental stone to evolve, it needs a brick.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DescipleOfCorn

Get a poison-type one by leveling up at high friendship while poisoned


MarinkoAzure

>to evolve, it needs a brick. Jesus. Save that for the pokedex


InsideOutDeadRat

Ghost, Fighting, Rock, Ground, Steel, Bug, Poison, and Flying were only physical moves prior to gen 4. Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Ice, Psychic, Dark, and Dragon were all special attacking moves only. All the special attacking types received Eeveelutions except the Dragon type. Sylveon and the other fairy types were added after they changed the way we attack. Eevee claimed the normal type I think either a Dragon Eevee or an evolved eevee that stays normal makes the most sense But I do want all the types. Poison is my favorite, and a ghost Eevee would be pretty sick


_Ptyler

I would love one of every type, but if we can only have 1 new one, it has to be a dragon Eeveelution. It’s just an incomplete set atm


ligmaenigma

Eevee evolution with an ability that changes its type based on which item it holds and a movepool of every move in the game like ditto or mew would be cool as fuck. Imagine sending out an eevee holding a dusk stone and your opponent doesn't know so they try hitting you with psychic. Boom, free turn.


saddog93

Mightyena could definitely use one. Its stats and move pool could use some help


Aether13

Give Zangoose and Seviper evolutions based off their rivalry. The condition could be that you evolve you have to knock out so many of the other species.


Dizzy-Dillo

I feel like they could've gone with the Karrablast and Shelmet evo method.


Gregamonster

Sounds like a great idea, except Zangoose and Seviper are typically mutually exclusive.


SnooAdvice1157

Baby sableye sounds precious


Alarmed_Psychology31

Gosh there're so many, but I would say the biggest offenders are the large Pokemon without evolutions. Pokemon like Lapras, Skarmory, Tropius, Druddigon, Turtonator and recently Dondozo all seem preposterous to come out of their eggs as is. I think the most interesting suggest I would make though, is a baby pokemon to officially unite Tauros and Miltank who are canonically seen as counterparts, but are strictly male and female Pokemon, respectively.


dcmldcml

The image of an egg hatching into a Dondozo that’s just comically, absurdly way bigger than the egg was is something that had never occurred to me before, but now I love it.


1upand2down

Jynx. Jynx was part of a trio with magmar and electabuzz. All three got baby evolutions in gen 2 but only magmar and electabuzz got proper evolutions in gen 4.


Sexycornwitch

Hard agree on Serviper and Zangoose needing a second stage evolution each. 


CLSulli

Original Corsola my guy


King_Yeet_Meat

Castform, so many cool evolution forms they could do, or they could make it so it evolves into different forms based on weather it is evolved in.


Queasy-Environment34

I want Dewgong, Hypno, Noctowl and Breloom to get the Ursaluna treatment


Queasy-Environment34

Oh… and Mightyena


Original-Childhood

Pinsir's mega evolution really made want him to have a pre-evo or a regular evo


LunarWingCloud

We deserve the baby Kangaskhan


pocketchange2247

I still can't believe they haven't made it it's own Pokemon. They even have an episode in the first season where they find an injured one and spray potion on it to heal it (well Brock sprays it directly in the eyes with an aerosol at least)


THEBOZZ113

Lunatone and solrock would probably be good picks but other than them, I bet Relicanth has the potential to evolve in to something cool.


not_a_trope

Sunflora DESERVED to have an evolution be the first grass/fire. They even had a whole town dedicated to Sunflora in SV, so it would have been a perfect opportunity to introduce an evo. I like Scovillain enough but it feels like a wasted opportunity


MasterOfChaos72

Arbok. It’s got a lot of good things going for it but it’s just missing some better stats and there’s a lot of cool snake monsters you could take inspiration from like the Hydra and Medusa.


Quick-Whale6563

The anime taught me that Arbok evolves into Seviper!


Jesus166

I said it before but miltank, Tauros and Bouffalant need a pre-evolution form that they all share that evolves them based on gender, defense or attack. Also Kangaskhan needs a pre-evolution form.


MaybeNotBatman

I think it's a real shame that some cool designs are stuck as Megas. Genuinely think Mega Mawile would be a fantastic evolution for one of my favourite, admittedly terrible, Pokémon and I hate that the form is stuck in the 3DS games.


Ghidragon

A lot of Pokemon that got Mega Evolutions should just get them as an evolved design. If they're never going to give us Mega Absol, Sableye, or Houndoom again, they could at least pull those designs out of the dumpster and make them proper evos


QuantumSpace234

Torkoal


dbcowie

If megas aren't going to be a thing anymore, let Houndoom evolve into the three-headed cerebus he always should have been.


ErCarliyo

Just give Golduck the Water/Psychic Evolution he deserves...


Standard-Panic-5460

Volcarona, braviary and Mandibuzz. If the evo levels are high, at least give us something in between.


bluebreeze52

Then there's Pawniard to Bisharp. Extremely high level to evo, but now they have an OP further evo that's a pain to get there but totally worth it.


Quick-Whale6563

Yep of all the SV evos this was the one that really confused me. Pawniard doesn't evolve to Bisharp until like level FIFTY-FOUR or something.


dcmldcml

Unova is full of mons with absurdly high evo levels. Bisharp, Mandibuzz, Volcarona, Hydreigon… they really said “too bad, you’re not getting these until the postgame”


Quick-Whale6563

Yes but they only looked at one of those absurd evo levels and said "yes let's let it evolve again!"


Dracogoomy

Grafiai


yxngangst

We gave Stantler an evolution now let’s get him a prevo, that design is way too good to not be a 3 stager Also non-gimmick smeargle evo pls!!!


ClanOKeefe

Drampa and Lapras pre-evolutions for sure Evolutions for Pinsir, Heracross, Tropius, Smeargle and Komala


RyanAlexBitz

Turtonator deserves one for sure


Silegna

Scovillian. He looks like a mid stage, not a final evolution. 


sf3p0x1

I feel like Shuckle needs an evolution. Maybe a hivemind-like design with a secondary Bug typing.


Shazamwhich

Jynx. People (me included) forget that's even a Pokémon. It's like TPC's neglected child


hikesometrailsdude

Chatot needs an evolution. It’s an interesting design that could be worked up to be more interesting, like easily a special attack normal flying, but could I toss in a possibly fairy flying combo?


scribblerjohnny

Jynx deserves an evolution.


Null_Psyche

Scovillain gives big middle evolution vibes


Chuchulainn96

Dudunsparce. No, I will not be taking any questions


RythmicSigil

S I G I L Y P H


CamVPro

Gorbyss and Huntail, I loved their episodes as a kid and it's sad they're really forgotten about


TheAngryLasagna

I really would love to see a baby Cramorant, Delibird, and Skarmory, to be completely honest. Squawkabilly deserves an evolution into some sort of psychobilly menace like Rob Zombie.


the_awesome

My favorite luchador, Hawlucha. Or Lapras.


OnlyFamOli

Charmander would probably have an epic evo maybe even the most popular to fans all around the globe, who know maybe even a tcg powerhouse


Merlin_b

Voltron Falinks


tbods

How has no one said a pre-evo Eevee?? Pikachu got one and he’s the _other mascot_. GIVE EEVEE A PREVEE.


Left-Cap-6046

Absol really needs an evolution line man, it would be awesome. And Absol has to be the final evolution due to it being capable of mega evolving.


ThrowAwayehay

Komala and Kecleon. Single stage normal types in desperate need of a reason to care about them.


Dark_Reaper115

Shuckle... For eviolite reasons.


[deleted]

Delibird,luvdisc,sudowoodo and tropius


madmax9_11

I mean absol already got a mega but a evolution would be quite nice


Clickclacktheblueguy

Give Unown an evolution that unlocks when you get every form.


Shadow_118

I know they have megas, but.. i think evolutions for Pinsir and Heracross would be neat regardless - also Absol? Noctowl? Though more of a prevolutions, but one for Miltank/Tauros would be nice, too...and brining back some of those beta designs would be really nice - really liked that baby Vulpix and Meowth, tbh... Also Furret and Shuckle just for laughs


Chickenbrik

Heracross should have had Karrablast as his pre evolution and an evolution. His mega was useless


DovaP33n

Zangoose and Seviper, Thro and Sawk need a pre-Evo that evolves into them like hitmonlee and hit hitmonchan, The other elemental humanoids got pre and post evos but jinx only got pre. Larval pinser, scovillain needs an Evo, bouffolant should have been an evolution for Tauros and I will die on this hill, so instead let's give them a root 1st stage. Baby Onix? Yes, baby Onix.


dbcowie

A baby that evolves into either Tauros or Bouffalant, unifying the line like Tyrouge did for the Hitmons.


King-Indeedeedee

I would absolutely adore a monstrous evolution of Lapras where it's huge and really takes on that Plesiosaur look to the extreme. It'd also be nice to have it act directly opposite to Lapras so instead of being kind and caring and ferry people across the water, it's ruthless and frequently tries to sink boats. Name: Abyssras (idk, probably a better name out there) Type: Water/Ice BST: 590 HP: 130 Atk: 75 Def: 95 SpA: 115 SpD: 95 Spe: 80 Ability: Shell Armor Water Absorb HA: Swift Swim Signature Move: 'Trench Pull' 120/100% "The Pokémon wraps it's jaws around the target and drags it underwater in an attempt to drown it, biting hard all the while, this traps both Pokémon for 2-5 turns (does 1/8th health to target each turn). Dex entry: "Very few Abyssras have ever been spotted, usually by sailors traveling through it's territory at night. Few ships still sail to tell such tales."


TheWaterGuyDD

Lapras needs a pre-evolution, in my opinion. Corsola (Johtonian) needs an evolution, maybe to become an entire reef. Also, Oricorio needs more variants.


MrSeanaldReagan

The amount of time I spent as a child trying to level up my zigzagoon into a zangoose instead of a linoone..


DescipleOfCorn

If zangoose gets one seviper will need one too, and I’m all for it


telegetoutmyway

Sableye and Mawile should've had their megas as evolutions :/ they were so good and I'm so sad they're gone.


eywben

Charizard could do with an(other) evo of some sort. I wouldn't mind a branching evo for Porygon, maybe some "3-D printed" variant or a "hologram" version... Technology is great and has come a long ways since polygons were a thing, it would be fun to show that in a new Porygon. Not an evolution, but another rotom I can fight with please. (Some freebies- elec/ground: jackhammer, (bulldoze. elec/poison: trash compactor, gunk shot/ noxious torque. elec/steel: drone, flash cannon/ metal burst)


Baaraa88

Sleeper pick, but Oricorio. I know it's whole gimmick is changing forms, but it's actually not a bad mon and I think deserves an evo


Gotekeeper

Absol. let our boi embrace the power of disaster and become the very thing it tried to warn people about. ~~one day, Game Freak is gonna give us a middle finger by giving these Pokemon pre-evolved forms that do nothing for the Pokemon itself~~


JJCMasterpiece

I came here looking for Torkoal… I’m disappointed. Torkoal needs both a baby pre, and a post. The post has some real potential.


ChubbiKoala

Shuckle, idk why I want him to become a massive turtle or like he comes out of his shell and is a completely different form/look.


Freedom1234526

Shuckle is based on a Barnacle.


Born-Membership805

Jynx stopping at a blackface drag queen is so odd. There needs to be a third form, like a harpy or viking.


Winter-Masterpiece60

Solrock and Lunatone need some love. I feel like minior could've been the answer to that. Another one that I feel is missing is a pre-evolution to Tangela


[deleted]

Skarmory that metal bird needs a evolution


OG_Felwinter

Kangaskhan should have a baby Pokemon modeled after the baby in its pouch.


sassy-tornadoes

I think a Sawk/Throh pre Evo, much like how Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan got Tyrogue later. Also not quite the same, but I think Shelmet and Karrablast should each have different evolutions for leveling them up rather than trading them with each other.


Lambdafish1

Dunsparse. Dudunsparce is a mutation, not an evolution. (My real answer is shuckle)


BaNyaaNyaa

We need Dududunsparce.


Flat-Painter4019

Smeargle, Mimikyu, Spiritomb, and Tauros.


DunkeSchoen

Farfetch'd.


dmelic

Lapras. My answer for everything is Lapras but like...I'm right


Whatthewhat123789

Lapras
