Evolution List

If looking for a specific Pokémon's evolution method, press Ctrl+F (or Cmd-F on a Mac) and enter the Pokémon's name to search for it on the page.

Evolutions are split into two main types: level-up evolution, which happens when a Pokémon has just gained a level and can be canceled if the player so desires by pressing B during the evolution, and player-induced evolution, which requires the player to specifically do something to the Pokémon to evolve it immediately, and those can not be canceled (...or at least I couldn't do it the last time I attempted it, but that was in G/S/C, so I could be wrong). This page lists all level-up evolutions first and then all player-induced evolutions.

If an evolution in the list has something in parentheses after it, that means that the method will only evolve the Pokémon if the condition in the parentheses is also met.
