How the heck did you turn into that?
This new section needs some new threads!
Anyways - what Pokemon do you find to have a strange evolution? I'll go ahead and name the obvious Trapinch line - from that to Vibrava certainly surprised me and still doesn't quite make sense to me. XD |
Well, BnB, this article should help you understand Trapinch's line
Well, I don't really know, although Magikarp shocked me, I now the backstory ... But if I must pick one,it'd Feebas I guess, how do that become a Milotic? |
I think Oshawott's evolution line doesn't make sense to me, imo.
It evolving into a Sea Lion-like creature with a big horn thing; just doesn't seem like it evolved from Dewott. |
I feel that way about Magikarp and Gyarados.
|
Dewott into Samurott... how does an otter go into a sea lion creature???
|
dragonair into dragonite. don't get me wrong, i love dragonite, but they shouldn't be related imo.
|
Carnavah to Sharpedo, definetly.
|
Remoraid evolving into Octillery, what is it with a little fish turning into an octopus?
|
Is it just me or should I say Feebas & Milotic should fit into this category too?
It's sorta like the Magikarp/Gyarados situation, only Feebas can actually fight lol |

Apologies for being too technical here:

I find Whismur evolving into Loudred weird, aesthetically. I mean, I just find it weird that a pink rabbit like thing can turn into a boombox. |
Feebas/Milotic. Just as jarring as Magikarp/Gyarados, but no legend behind it.
Dragonair/Dragonite is actually another good one... one is serpentine, the other is a winged beast with developed arms and legs. I could also sugggest Snorunt/Froslass since how does a little guy who looks like a cone turn into a icy ghost thingy? Don't get me started on Glameow/Purugly. Yeah, they have similar features, but how could cute little Glameow become something so... atrocious? |
About Magikarp/Gyarados there's this legend of how a Koi jumps a waterfall to become a dragon;
And about Dratini/Dragonair/Dragonite I read the story somewhere but forgot, it is still weird though |
Feebas to Milotic. Some ugly, puny fish to a large, "better-looking" one? Yikes. :S
|
Well, obviously Remoraid to Octillery, Oshawott's evolutionary line, Magikarp and Feebas to Gyarados and Milotic, respectively.
I'd suggest Combusken to Blaziken, sure they have the same origin but it's pretty weird that Combusken evolves to Blaziken. |
Other than Magikarp/Gyarados I would say the Timburr line (I know they look alike but thats not where I am getting at) but Timbur is holding a big piece of wood and then when it evolves, it now is holding steel and then finally after the final evolution, it would hold two concrete bolders or something.

If you watch Pokemon White 41: Celestial Tower Part 1 from his Pokemon White Adventure videos, it's near the end (after defeating a Psychic) that his Dewott evolves and he remembers that moment when he first saw Samurott back when he was playing the Japanese Black. Marriland as you know, adds comedy to his videos just for that laughter factor. When I first watched that video, I totally laughed! |
Well I dislike Tepig's Evolution line, he should have stayed on all fours.
Something like this http://th02.deviantart.net/fs71/150/f/2010/133/b/c/Pokabu_Evolution_by_PashaPup.jpg Shuppet and Banette, I see that they are both dolls but when I first saw them I couldn't see any connection. I didn't even release they were related. |
There are so many I can think of...
But, I'm gonna go ahead and say the one that just makes me all types of LOL Drowzee to Hypno.... it got a nose job and lypo. Thats what I thought when I played it the first job, and started calling it the 'model' evolution. yeah.... And also Karrablast and Excavalier... where did a bug pick up a knight suit and javelin? |
None of them are stranger than real life, e.g. tadpole into frog, but I would have to say that the Dratini line could have done with a more serpent like third evolution, Dragonite should have had two other predecessors or should have been more of a snake, like serperior for example.
Personally also I think Dragonite should have looked scarier, he's a bit to cutesy for my liking. Zeus |
The Clamperl line. How does a clam turn into those eel things?
|
Quote:
I agree with whoever mentioned Remoraid/Octillery, and add to the list: Togetic to Togekiss: I wasn't expecting an evolution at all, but when it came it was too strange. It seems more like an interstage between the two, rather than their evo. Barboach to Whiscash: Eel to a fat mudweller? Why? Snorunt to Glalie: I can't compare the two at all. They just don't look similar. I can't compare Snorunt to Froslass either, while I CAN compare Glalie to Froslass. |
Magikarp > Gyara and Feebas > Milo are the first things that come to mind (as many people have also stated).
I understand Trapinch's line because antlions ftw. And I guess Poliwhirl to Politoed seems a little weird 'cause it suddenly changes color and becomes so much thinner and differently-shaped. I mean I know how tadpoles become frogs and all but STILL. Oh, and Remoraid > Octillery. And Clamperl to its two evos. ...I'm starting to sense a Watery pattern here. |
Well, the Feebas > Milotic evolution may not have been based on a legend, but there's a chance that it's based on the story of "The Ugly Duckling", or just how swan chicks, who aren't exactly the most beautiful creatures, turn into swans.
I guess the evolution I find weirdest would probably be the Clamperl line as psyanic stated. Quote:

i definitely cannot see how a small fish like magikarp can turn into a DRAGON like gyarados. i feel like it's skipped a stage in its evolution.
