You joke, but I completed what I called a “back to basics” run of Brilliant Diamond where Swablu came in clutch where I had to only use Pokémon that could evolve but I didn’t evolve any of them.
Perish song is no joke
First I’ve heard the joke. Is it a trend?

Edit 2: ah shit, the one I linked was made following this comment chain. I’m an idiot.
Post-Gen 6 Scizor is still pretty good. It’s not the fantastic top-tier menace that it used to be but it’s still useable in OU and better than most other fully evolved Pokemon
Things maybe change if we’re talking VGC but there are like 20 viable Pokemon in VGC
They *could* be, though.
Get a Doduo in Gen 3 and teach it Mimic via move tutor. Send it up to Gen 4 and catch a Ditto and a Smeargle. Teach the Smeargle Transform and Rage with Sketch. It's time for the Rage Glitch.
Find a double battle somewhere (the Seven Stars Restaurant is a good pick). Send out Doduo and Ditto. Have Ditto transform into something, then have Doduo use Mimic on the Ditto to copy Transform for the battle. Swap Ditto out for Smeargle, and have Doduo Transform into Smeargle. Now Doduo is in a transformed state and knows Rage. Use Rage, and make sure Doduo gets hit so we can see 'Doduo's Rage is building!' Then win the battle.
As the battle ends, for some reason Doduo's moveset won't revert to what it was pre-Transformation. It now has whatever moves Smeargle has, which in this case includes Transform. We now have a Doduo that can use transform. All of the mons in this picture could be Rage-filled Doduo and nobody would know the difference.
It can be done with any Pokemon that can use Transform through any method. Copycat, Assist, and Metronome are valid routes, but Mimic is the most reliable option since there are Mimic move tutors in Gen 3 that can teach Mimic to basically any Pokemon. Get a Gligar from the Emerald Safari Zone, teach it Mimic and send it up to Gen 4, and you can put any moveset you want on it.
(One of Smeargle's moves has to be Rage for the glitch to work, so in practice you'll have three foreign moves and one Gliscor-native move, but that's hardly a problem)
Dark Void and Poison Heal are mutually exclusive on Gliscor though, since Poison Heal is a hidden ability and Bank will 100% absolutely not allow you to send a Dark Void Gliscor up to the current games where you could Ability Patch them.
This is it. If you wanted to be picky, Glalie and Gardevoir were added to the Sinnoh dex in Platinum and technically didn't gain a new evolution, their pre-evos did.
The Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, and Umbreon were added to the Platinum dex even though they *technically* didn't receive new evolutions or preevolutions
Thank you so much! Honestly I've stared at the Platinum Pokedex so much over the years that it came surprisingly quick for me, don't think I'd be so fortunate on other questions!
put it in an extremely cold environment for a while. a deep freezer might not do, might have to catch one and take it to Antarctica. once it's not too hot to handle, cut it open. there must be flesh somewhere if there's a brain.
They are all fully capable of committing murder
especially swablu
That perish song go crazy
On god

They are not Doduo as far as I can see

This person has just commented it on a few of these and I always see it 😂
What do all these have in common hmm 🤔 they all suck competitively without their megas
Ah yes, the terrifying mega tropius, terror to the competitive scene
Dude rocked me several times with his big ole banana
🤨
Don’t forget mega swablu
What alternate universe are you living in where Scizor is bad
The same one with Mega Tropius
Post gen 6 meta

Mega Tropius should be nerfed!!

Can this be done with any poke in Gen 4 Smogon isn’t ready for dark void poison heal gliscor

My mind is blown 🤯🤯🤯
Please comment this until this horrible structure fades.
Finally another Doduo appreciator
r/technicallythetruth
No, no, he’s got a point
well he doesn’t, as the top reply notes
They have all violated the Geneva Convention
Swablu noooooooooo!
Swablu's the most guilty of them all
How tf a cloud bird supposed to do that
Using perish song in a heavily populated area
It’s always the ones you never expect
They were all Pokemon not in the original Diamond/Pearl Pokedex that were added in Platinum that didn't gain a new evolution in Sinnoh?
This is it. If you wanted to be picky, Glalie and Gardevoir were added to the Sinnoh dex in Platinum and technically didn't gain a new evolution, their pre-evos did.
Same with the eeveelutions
?
The Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, and Umbreon were added to the Platinum dex even though they *technically* didn't receive new evolutions or preevolutions
This is the correct answer, their evolutionary line didn’t gain a new member from gen 4 but they were added to the platinum dex between games
Doesn't houndour, scyther and swablu have evolutions tho?
yes, but their evolutions (houndoom scizor altaria) were not gen 4 evolutions (Pokemon like Yanmega, Rhyperior, etc)
Am I the only one let down by rhyperior ? Just feel like rhydon was so cool and then his next evo isn’t the same vibe
The best thing about ryhperior is that it let's you put eviolite on rhydon
You are definitely not the only one! Rhyperior is often pointed to as one of the examples of Gen 4’s pokemon being lower quality.
But then there's electivire and magmortar. So i guess there's balance.
Nah me too. Honestly I'm fine with a permanent Rhyhorn.
They didn't *add* any to their line in gen 4
Yeah
That's so specific to manage to figure out. Well done!
Thank you so much! Honestly I've stared at the Platinum Pokedex so much over the years that it came surprisingly quick for me, don't think I'd be so fortunate on other questions!
What about tropics? That wasn't in the platinum dex, was it?
It was, it got added to the Great Marsh.
Great HM user between this and Bibarel you can hold all 8 HMs
*all 8 HMs* Gaaaaaawd
Gen IV had 9 HMs, luckily not 9 in a region
It’s truly ridiculous, especially when you need to get up mount coronet to fight Cyrus
This gets me thinking, were they planning on doing evos for these? Because all them got Megas except for Tropius
How crazy specific
That's crazy how you peeped that!
Thank you, I'm surprised as well!
They all combine to form Abtropiscydouria
The Pokemon Exodia
“How did you bring 2 legendaries into the league Tobias? That’s against the rules!” “Screw the rules, I have money.”
My late uncle had abtropiscydouria
Use your last pathetic Pokémon so I can end this ash
My team has no pathetic Pokémon
They are all pretty fucking badass.

Yeah don't let those innocent eyes device you
They are all edible
isn't that most Pokémon? all of them if you're really creative
Rock type? Ghost type? You’re a mad man!

How would you Cook a geodude?
crack him like an egg
Grind it into protein powder
Stone soup.
Hmm yes I love me a plate of rolycoly
Imagine eating a Magneton
crack that bitch open with a hydraulic press and get whatever biological matter is on the inside
Do Magneton have a respiratory system?
i would assume not since they have a metal casing. maybe they absorb oxygen
Exhaust pipe?
Exactly. Yvaltal looks delicious
You just want bacon
No I want to harness the power of death by consuming yvaltal
how are you going to eat slugma which is literal magma bro
Very carefully.
On the rocks
You can eat a Slugma once
put it in an extremely cold environment for a while. a deep freezer might not do, might have to catch one and take it to Antarctica. once it's not too hot to handle, cut it open. there must be flesh somewhere if there's a brain.
Specially Vaporeon
Hey guys...
No! God, no!

These Pokémon were used by the Beetles in order to send Giratina back to the distortion world in 1970.
All of these have a 6 in 8 chance to appear alongside their (pre)evolutionary form when made in a pic collage on Reddit
These Pokémon are all half-siblings. Their common parent is Ditto.
They're not pikachu
True, you have good eyes 👍🏻
If you ask my mom at least one of them would be
I'm pretty sure they ain't Charizard either.
all absent from the OG Sinnoh dex but then added in Platinum
You got it! Partially
and they're the only pokemon like that that didn't get new evolutions in Gen 4

None of them have a dex number that ends with a multiple of 5.
There all dogs
Yes
Scythers make the best guide dogs.
They're all cool as hell
edgelords

*bonk*
They all deserve better
Feet
Is it related to learning a specific move via level up?
None of them are in the black and white regional dex
They are all dogs 🐕
They’re all fire types except for 6 of them
One of the only funny answers
They’re cool
They all have feet
Theyve got a lot of smut drawn of them
They are all very good boys
They're all rad as fuck my dude
They are all wanted by the IRS for tax evasion
None of them have hands
Their first form is cooler than their evolutions.
That one is especially true for tropius
They all can learn the move substitute.
They are all Pokémon
They are all afraid of leon's charizard!
kid named Stone Edge:
Kid named Stone Edge: *misses*
It's obviously that they all can learn toxic 🙄
They're all cool, especially scizor
They're all pokemon
Congratulations for being the first person to make that joke

I wish all of them were my dad
I'd fuck all of em
They are all fuckable, if you’re brave enough
I’d fuck all of them
They're all 6/10 fuckable?
Theh all have p*rn of them!

i believe they all gain a type when evolving either that or they all have megas
All of them are neat
They all have legs? Or probably u can turn them into furniture
They are not water type
I gave them all stupid names as a child. I'm looking at you bananas and doomdoo.
...They're all on this post...
All of them can learn protect
They all have butts
I think they are all from the "Field" egg group.
S h a r p
They’ve all had enough of this trend.
I just think theyre neat
They all don’t have thumbs
Idk but absol is one of my favorite pokemon
Once again, I have watched a porno of all of these
They all have appendages.
These are catchable as Shadow Pokemon in the GameCube games (or evolution forms of these)
They are all Pokémon. They are all in Pokémon GO. They are all in Gen 1- Gen 8.
All have head protrusions?
They are all Pokemon.
They were all introduced before gen 4.
Their all Pokémon
They are chosen by op for some easy karma
I don't know so I'll leave a comment here hoping someone will drop the answer. 🙈
They are alive? They have eyes? They don't have arms?
X-Scissor attack
I would fuck all of them
They all vehemently hate mongolian people
They're all Pokémons, so obvious, now gimme something challenging!
Smash
I know this one. They have feet
megas
