Which Pokémon do you refuse to evolve?
Just to refresh your mind, when a Pokémon evolves and you don't have an Everstone, you can press B to cancel it. So which Pokémon do you cancel?
I didn't let my Bulbasaur or Squirtle evolve in Yellow version, because I wanted my party to be like the anime. |
I don't like to evolve Nidorino/rina. They're so cool looking...and then they evolve and it's just meh. :( I don't care much for stats anyway, so it's fine to just have middle evos. I don't like evolving Dragonair either. It's my favorite Dragon type. Nothing against Dragonite, but Dragonair looks a lot cooler. And if I ever had a shiny one, I would NEVER evolve it into Dragonite. ._. That thing is ugly.
I do evolve my Quilava though, I know you're all ashamed of me. |

As for me, I'm usually one of the biggest power > looks guys, but I will refuse to evolve a Magneton or a Lickitung. D: |
i used to never let cyndaquil evolve back in Silver. I loved that little guy! ^_^ other than that no pokemon put on the evolution backburner.
|
Let's see...
I would NEVER let my precious lickitung evolve...lickilicky is too damn ugly.
Tangela and Budew (or whatever roselia's pre-vo is) will also never evolve, their evo's are also ugly.(Roserade is cool-looking, but I prefer budew.) I have many, many, many pokemon I would never evolve, but these are the only ones I could think of. Quote:
|
Electabuzz, Magmar, Magneton and Lotad. I hate the next evos from them all.
|
I've never felt the need to stop a Pokémon evolving in game, the only Pokémon I tend to stop evolving is Dragoniar, I just prefer it to Dragonite and use it on my team quite often.
|
Shinx family, cuz it learns moves faster before evolution. I don't evolve shinx until level 30, and I don't evolve Luxray until 50.
|
I did keep my Togetic on my HG from evolving for the longest time (I hate the design of Togekiss >_>) But I eventually gave in due to the ability to learn Aura Sphere and better stats...I wish I could have kept the sprite for Togetic
|
I'm not one for NFE Pokemon, but I level up a Riolu to level 100 IV and EV trained, just because I like him and Lucario oh so much.
|
I do have to agree with those that said Lickitung. I was on the band bus last year, and my friend was in the back of the bus and shouted something about trading him a Lickylicky...no...comment. Just...ain't evolving it for...those reasons...I don't even say it's name in public. Hell, I forget that it's even a Pokemon. :B
|
In mstery dungeon I evolved my cute Venusaur(partner) into and ugly beast TTATT i feel so sorry for myself... Its so... ugly... lol its lvl 98. Cause I basically have no life.
|
Quote:
I didn't evolve my Quilava (well, only one. All the others are Typhlosions), my Pikachu (only because of Light Ball), and Pidgeotto (Silver Version nostalgia). |
After reading the creepypasta, I will never evolve Paras unless I need to complete the Pokédex. I didn't know I was killing it.
|
I never evolve any of my Pokémon after a certain point.
That certain point is their peak evolutions. Yeah, I always evolve. If there's moves that I miss through that, I go see the Move Tutor. And then I decide if I want those. |
The Kanto Three
Oh yeah. I forgot I will never evolve magmortar and electabuzz due to their ugly evolutions.
|
My skitty in Emerald. I dont know why...I guess i wanted it like Mays? XD It new assist and I thought that move was epic~
|
Actually I don't let my pokemon evolve (in general) when I wanted it to learn a specific move. I did that with my Torchic once.
|
in Sapphire i have a Lv. 76 Wingull which I trained from Lv. 3. 'nuff said.
|
I love my Dragonair. I'll never let it evolve. I just love my Dragonair too much.
|
Usually if there's a Pokemon I really like whose unevolved forms I prefer (Psyduck, Dragonair, etc.) I usually either don't bother catching/raising them, or I do and just leave them in the PC.
Except for my Slugma. His name is Jello and he's squishy and cute and helps me hatch my eggs. :D |
Chimchar.
I don't evolve it until it learns Slack Off. Because I tend to capture Budew when I get a Chimchar as my starter, I can still defeat Roark with ease. Facade + Slack Off by level up? Yes please :D I also tend to keep Togepi until it's learned all its' moves. Just because it levels faster than Togetic, despite identical level-up movesets. Oh, and Dratini, Larvitar, Bagon, Beldum, Gible. I evolve them one level before the lowest level for their final form, i.e: Dratini -lv.54-> Dragonair -lv.55-> Dragonite. Just because I want my Dragonites and Tyranitars faster. |
Well, I never evolve Lickitongue it's evolution is pretty ugly and I don't care much for it's stat increase or learnset.
Umm, in Ruby for a bit I cancelled my Marshtomp's evolution cause I got a bit scared xD When I saw Swampert I let it evolve..xP I prefer Dratini's look over both Dragonair AND Dragonite's, I did try to train one up but it's stats are terrible so I didn't get past level 50. There are various pokemon I wouldn't mind not evolving when I raised, but just have because I didn't impulse cancel....(Sandshrew, Pichu, Electabuzz, Scyther, Rhydon, Croagunk...I could probably go on) |
My Pikachu.
It looks neither cute nor badass as a Raichu, so I'd rather not have it evolve. |
Graveler, Kadabra, Haunter and friends. When playing on an emulator, I'm generally too lazy to bother with TGB Dual and VBA Link and that stuff, and only will evolve them on rare occassions, like for example when I have like 3 of them on the team. When not playing on an emulator, I don't even have the chance to evolve, so yeah.
Ok, doesn't quite fit the topic, but since this is the only kind of Pokemon I regularly don't evolve... (I have done that Quilava thing in younger years one time or two though) |
I don't evolve ivysaur, wartortle, dragonair because I don't like very much their evos. Venosaur is ok except for it's face, the other two lost the awesome-looking waves they have; also dragonite is not even a japanese dragon like his pre-evo...So for me is only a matter of design, basically.
|
Eevee, Quilava, Dragonair, Ivysaur, Wortortle, Haunter, Lickitung, Magneton, Wingull, Rattata, Nidorino/a, Pikachu, Zubat, Magby; probably a load of others. Not that I ever use half of these anyway...
|
i dont evolve torchick in ruby, or pikachu in firered
|
Dragonair will never evolve under my hands...
Quote:
|
I had a Squirtle that I had leveled up to 100 from my Blue game (got easier once I traded him to Silver and gave him an Everstone).
|
I always wanted my pokemon to evolve
|
Rattata.
Not too long ago I cancled the evolution because I had too great of a relationship with him and I had a Three Days Grace song in my head which made me feel sad for evolving him,so I turned off my game and he was my Rattata again :) |
Shiny!Bulbasaur, Dragonair, Marshtomp.
I'm sure there are plenty of others that I probably wouldn't evolve it on my team or something, but those are the three (that I can remember) that are in one of my games and haven't evolved. :3 |
I don't really refuse to evolve any of them, at least none that I remember.
|
When I first got Leafgreen way back when Shiny Squirtle was my Starter and he's still Level 5 and in my HG party I refuse to let him battle or evolve or be deposited unless I have to
|
Caterpie. Shiny, anyways. Shiny Butterfree/Metapods are weird. Shiny Caterpies is awesome.
|
I loved Lotad and Ludicolo, but hated Lombre, so I would'nt eveolve Lotad unless I had a water stone handy so I could evolve it up again very quickly.
I also hate Togekess. I think it's so ugly. Togetic and Togepi are both awesome, but Togekiss... No. My Togetic will never evolve. Ever. (Espically cus it's on Gen 3 and therefore can't. ;)) I wuld'nt let Rhydon, Electabuzz, Lickitung, Tangela or Magneton evolve either. Those Evo's are ugly. |
Quote:
|
basically anything that looks ugly in an evolution form to begin with...
magneton lickitung |
Any in-game Pokemon that requires a special item that I can only get once or twice (ex. Dusclops), I won't evolve. I don't even play competitively so I won't have any use for those items anyway, but I'm just overly cautious like that. ><;
|
My cute little Sentret! I already have a Furret, and I just think it's evolution isn't ADOWABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
I almost always refuse to evolve my starter Pokemon. I hate most of the evolutions to all of them, and I'm a big sucker for cute things. Man, I'm becoming less and less of a guy everyday, I swear. D: |
Once I wanted an Ash Pikachu, so I didn't let it evolve. Apart from that I let most pokemon evolve. I quite often wait for evolution until they learn a specific attack though.
|
My Magmar in SoulSilver. That's all really, I don't want to evolve it because it's in my in-game soul silver team, and I have Magmortar in my Platinum in-game team. I just don't want either of them having similar Pokemon :|
|
I refuse to evolve Wooper. It's just so cute. I hate Quagsire.
|
I refuse to evolve my Monferno. It learns the same attacks that Infernape learns and say what!, it learns them fastly!!
No evolution for Monferno 'Cause it's cute, And Infernape looks really like an ape. It rhymed! xD |
I don't evolve the Pokemon I don't use except for Pokedex reasons.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever used a NFE Pokemon on my main team. I should try that though. |
Ivysaur. I hate Venasaur, lol. |
I refuse to let my munchslax evolve because to me snorelax is tooo lazy lol
|
I never let my Seedot evolve because it is one of my favourite Pokemon and I don't really like Nuzleaf and Shiftry is most unliked Pokemon.
|
I tend to evolve all of them unless there are some I don't know that much about.
|
..I only refuse to evolve Grovyle, because it looks cooler than Septile.
|
Vigoroth, simply because Truant hinders Slaking's battling ability (though I evolved Vigoroth into Slaking in Emerald).
|
I refuse to evolve pokemons that are cute in it's current evolution than it's next evolution. :P
|
Back in the old Silver games, I refused to let my Teddiursa evolve.. I'm sure he loves it that way too...
I won't let my Finneon evolve in Diamond, for Contest needs, she looks adorable that way. |
magmar and electabuzz, why would electabuzz's evo be fighting and i didn't think magmar could get uglier, his evo proves me wrong,
porygon2 i liked it alot, the concept and name and form, it was sleaker and lighter to show how tecnology is now sleaker and less blocky then in the old days. porygonZ looks like crap and is just weird, it's evo makes no sence, like regigas, the other regis represented the ice age, stone age, and steel/iron age what is grass representing? sorry, i guess i vented a little : ) |
i don't want to evolve pikachu n togetic...
i think they're already strong even without evolving i really regret it now... i accidentally evolved my togetic... |
I don't evolve Pikachu whilst I'm in possession of a Light Ball, as it's actually more powerful than Raichu...and Raichu's sprites aren't the best.
Depending on nature and ability, I either do/don't evolve Porygon2 into Porygon-Z. I often don't evolve Cyndaquil...and if I do, it doesn't evolve again. |
I remember in Ruby giving my Pichu an everstone~ But other then that I usually like evolving my pokemon :3
|
P-2 into P-Z.
If I want offense, then I evolve into P-Z. But If I want defense, I don't evolve. |
Pichu, and Grovyle Pichu has always been one of my favorite pokemon and I just plainly don't like Sceptile that much compared to his previous form.
|
Only Dragonair and Vigoroth.
|
I got an Elekid once from the egg you get in Crystal. It was far too cool to let evolve into an ugly mofo Electabuzz.
Also, Igglybuff. I thought it was good for a snort to have a level 100 one with Hyper Beam, Solarbeam, Hydro Pump and Fire Blast. :o |
The only pokemon I don't evolve is Pikachu, as I normally catch two, one to evolve, and another to use as my lightning beast with a Light Ball.
|
I never evolve Ivysaur. I mean he looks cooler and is not ugly like Venasaur.
|
I never evolve Wartortle. He's probably my favorite Pokemon, Blastoise is just eh.
|
My mission at the minute is to catch and train every single pokemon in the pokedex to level 100 but in a strange way.
Bulbasaur - Lv. 100 Ivysaur - Lv.100 Venusaur - Lv. 100 To to get every pokemons evolution to Lv. 100 looks like i'm gunna be denying a few evoltions. |
I don't evolve Totodile. I also don't evolve Pidgetto because I don't like Pidgeot for some random reason.
|
I usually go for stats but back in the 3rd and beggining 4th gens i wouldn't evolve igglybuff cuz i used it for cute contests and igglybuff is just SSSSSOOOOOOO cute
:P |
For some reason, I would never evolve my Wartortle in LG.
I just hated Blastoise for some reason, so I left it as it was. :3 Other Pokemon I would never evolve were Pikachu, Nidorina, Piplup, Electabuzz, and if those new B/W starter evolutions are real (which I'm pretty sure they are), I won't be evolving Pokabu, either. T^T |
I won't evolve my Haunter simply because I don't personally like the way Gengar looks. (That and I have nobody to trade with :P)
Kadabra is the same ^ |
First, Haunter, 'cause I cannot trade to evolve him...
Also, I refused to evolve Monferno can Infernape's looks really like an ape!~ |
I don't let my Buizel evolve on platinum, because it's much much cooler than Floatzel.
I don't let my Buneary evolve, Lopunny is very ugly. and i need my Drifloon to evlolve soon! |
I don't like evolving my togipi,which I evently do but I hate having my cute little togipi gone.Thereis one I don't let evolve I forget which it is
|
Munchlax, that kid is so friggin rare I feel the need to keep him as is, and he's one of my fav pokeymanz
|
I refuse to evolve my Wartortle from FireRed.
|
I usually do it with all of my starters where I don't evolve them until 20-25, I just enjoy going through a nice part of the game with just their original form, I'll give in though just to make them a bit stronger and of course, the game that much easier.
Other then that..nothing else is off limits! I actually enjoy the satisfaction of getting my Pokemon to their final evolution. |
rhydon. i made a team based off of the rival of the first generation (gary, blue etc) awhile ago. To make it more authentic, i would rather have my rhydon stay a rhydon.
|
Sometimes Shelgon since I like the way it looks :P
|
pikachu because i don't like raichu. >:3
|
Meowth. I want it to be like that one out of the anime, not team rockets but the one who wore the puss-in-boots gear.
|
Hmph.. Usually Squirtle.. I also stopped evolving Riolu after obtaining Lucario.
In Pokémon B&W's third version, I won't evolve Mijumaru. |
I don't evolve my shiny event-Pichu and a Torchic with a ... umm... special ability (it was a friend's present so I WON'T delete it!^^)!^^ Oh, and my silver Eevee from the VGC and some of my Pikachu (Light Ball) !^^ Other than that, I usually evolve every Pokemon cuz to me, every Pokemon looks awesome and I can't really understand people who hate some pokemon just because of their looks. There is something awesome on every Pokemon, guys, you just have to find it!^^
|
Usually events like pichu and some baby pokemon.
|
The only pokemon that ever made me sad to evolve it was Flaafy. I didn't want to because I liked the way it looked and it was pretty (wow, such a girl right now) and I loved the coloring, but I let it evolve anyway just so I could make it stronger. -is a sellout-
Eight times out of ten I'll refuse to evolve any Flaafy that is on my team. I'll just find another one and evolve it and just let it rot in the box while me and my numbah one Flaafy stalk the entire world.. unevolved. U: |
I usually evolve all of them. But when they evolve i make sure that i have another version with it un-evolved (which i never allow to evolve).
|
Vigoroth is the only one I can remember off the top of my head, since I'm too lazy to get a Giga Impact TM for a Slaking.
|
Well, Chinchou. It's just that it's evolved form doesn't look good.
Also, Teddiursa. Why does it have to evolve into that? And finally: Glameow. It's evolution is terrible, really. |
i prefer no to evolve magikarp, magikarp is just amazing. xx;
|
On my emerald, it's always been Dusull, and Wynaut. I think they're too cute to evolve into something else... I agree, Evolving is good for your Pokemon, but honestly, I think you can do JUST as good with a Duskull than a Dusclops, and honestly, Wobbufett is too ugly for my taste...
|
I will never evolve Magneton to Magnezone..
It's like.. going from awesome to horrible. |
I never evolve Seedot as it is so cool and cute and Nuzleaf and Shiftry are so ugly.
|
Bulbasaur, it's not a Pokemon I train that often but I'm not too fussed on it's evolutions. Plus I always think of how unwilling Ash's Bulbasaur was to evolve and that kinda puts me off. 'Cause I'm weird like that. o.o
|
I just let it evolve, Its need too get stronger.
|
I generally evolve all my Pokemons. However, there was that occasion when I wouldn't evolve my shiny Pichu because I was afraid that evolving it would ruin the chance to get a notch-eared Pichu.
There are some Pokemons are just too cute to evolve, but that's only after I obtained their later evolutions. However, there were some Pokemons that I had to evolve because their later evolutions was more appealing.. |
Magneton and Lickitung for me :)
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/63/082.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/5/55/108.png Awesome. http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/98/462.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/b0/463.png What have you done?! ¬.¬ |
I've always evolved my Pokemon, but it seems now I' more open to not evolving certain Pokemon and I'm not going to evolve Ivysaur again (my favourite in that line) and if I ever get Black or White, I may not evolve the Grass starter in that either. I may also just keep an Oddish/Dragonair/Pupitar next time too. More interesting that way.
I can't really think of anything else really. I didn't evolve Pikachu in Yellow for obvious reasons. |
pikachu, of coz~~~~~~!!!!!
|
Pikachu, Glameow, Murkrow and Dragonair.
|
I would refuse to evolve Pikachu and Mijumaru, cause they are so cute! :)
