Favourite single-stage Pokémon?
 
Most non-Legendary or Mythical Pokémon have at least one evolution. Some, however, don't.

And we love them for it. They're perfect as they are.

Which are your favourite (non-Legendary or Mythical) Pokémon that do not evolve from or into another? Tell all about it here. You have my answers right up above, but really, I just love single-stage Pokémon in general. :D

_confused_piplup_ May 11th, 2022 11:42 PM

Oh wow, there are tons of those. Well, some of those had mega evolution, so maybe they shouldn't count. I actually like many of them, however sometimes I feel like they deserve an evolution or be the evolution.

In general, the single stage pokemon that I like being single stage, are:

- Lapras
- Unown
- Girafarig
- Smeargle
- Tropius
- Kecleon
- Relicanth
- Spiritomb
- Carnivine
- Comfey
- Mimikyu

Then we have single stage pokemon I like that imo are good with an evolution:

- Dunsparce
- Spinda
- Pachirisu
- Minior
- Komala
- Dedenne
- Klefki
- Carbink
- Eiscue

Last but not least, single stage pokemon I like that imo needed a stage before:

- Skarmory (i love u tho)
- Torkoal
- Oranguru/Passimian could have had one base form in common and then that base form could have evolved in either of those
- Turnator (some doubts tho)
- Drampa
- Dhelmise
- Indeedee
- Duraludon

I didn't consider all single stage pokemon, but only the ones I like (or at least that I kinda like). Also, I didn't consider the pokemon that have a mega ( I love absol) or that got an evolution in a game, like corsola or Farfetch'd (one of my fav pokemon btw). Also didn't consoder Mythical pokemon cuz I kinda like em all, especially gen 4 ones (lol how unexpected, huh?)

Janp May 12th, 2022 3:22 AM

There are few that I like (in no particular order) - Mr. Mime, Audino, Eiscue, Tropius, Torkoal, Klefki, Dedenne, Tauros, Heracross, Smeargle, Rotom, Pyukumuku, Minior, Pincurchin

ReKoil May 12th, 2022 9:48 AM

I will spam Indeedee wherever I can =D

https://www.pokecommunity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=101007&stc=1&d=1649088463

I initially didn't care for it, but when IoA came out I had a bunch of random mons follow me around. Indeedee's animations when you interact with them are amazing and I've been a big fan ever since, I even got plushes of both forms! =D
Highly regretting not putting one on my playthrough team D=

Lapras, I've just always been fond of her =3


Absol, my fav Dark type Pokemon:


The flying Banana Dino:


These little fellows:

While doing some random breeding my game was just like 'here, have a shiny one'. +_+
I like both color schemes though. They each appeal to me in a different way ^.^

Oricorio (Does not evolve, but has forms... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)


Dedenne, best Pika clone:


Volbeat & Illumise are lovely Bug Pokemon and idc what anyone says about them =3




The following I also really like, but don't really come close to the ones above:
Kangaskhan
Girafarig
Delibird
Plusle
Minun
Zangoose
Seviper
Rotom (Doesn't evolve. But it does have a bunch of forms so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
Audino
Sigilyph
Carbink
Klefki
Comfey
Oranguru
Passimian
Mimikyu
Duraludon

XNaut May 12th, 2022 11:53 AM

Ditto and Drampa are my favorite.

Fairy May 12th, 2022 4:32 PM

As per my own research, I believe there is 87 of them. Not including Mega evos or GMax. Anyway, I've got a few favorites!

Lapras, Aerodactyl, Heracross, Relicanth, Absol, Audino, Klefki, Comfey, Mimikyu, Dhelmise, Eiscue, & Dracovish.

Honorable mentions to: Corsola, Mawile, Lucdisc, Spiritomb, Druddigon, Dedenne, Minior, Indeedee, & Duraludon.

Devalue May 12th, 2022 7:37 PM

Skarmory. Likes its sharp look and good color contrast.

Ivysaur May 12th, 2022 11:17 PM

It's a draw between Tropius and Maractus

Figment May 13th, 2022 5:01 AM

Falinks

It had been Absol and Zangoose only for a looooong time.

But, Indeedee is so cute, I can't resist loving it

Roni May 19th, 2022 1:08 AM

It's between Tauros and Heracross for me, I think I'll go with Heracross as my number 1 and Tauros is the close second.

ZeoStar May 19th, 2022 7:13 PM

Lapras
Girafarig
Corsola
Skarmory
Miltank
Spinda

I would list all of these as non-evolving favorites.

Lapras and Aerodactyl

TepigLover101 May 26th, 2022 9:42 AM

my favorite one stage pokemon is probably emolga or pachirusu, what can I say? I love the pikachu clones more then the pikachu, in all honestly btoh are super adorable pokemon that I think anyone would love to snuggle with

Adam Levine June 12th, 2022 3:14 AM

Tropius. I just love that silly little banana dinosaur; in fact, it's one of my top 3 favorite Pokémon ever. If only its stats weren't awful...

Sheep June 12th, 2022 6:30 PM

Omg, how could I forget Spinda and Girafarig? Love both of them also. ❤️

Cosmega June 14th, 2022 2:40 AM

Hhmmm… let me see if I remember them all (I love them)

-Dunsparce
-Sigilyph
-Lapras
-Falinks
-Carbink
-Mimikyu
-Drampa
-Dhelmise

I can only think of those for now

Brendino June 16th, 2022 7:03 PM

About a hundred answers and only one mention of Hawlucha? Evolutions or not, a badass wrestling bird was easily one of my top 10 favorite Pokemon before I even knew what it looked like.

Squirtle Bulbasaur June 18th, 2022 7:56 AM

Hawlucha, since I had one on my Pokemon X team.

Brianurton July 1st, 2022 4:25 PM

1) Lapras
2) Falinks
3) Carbink

Descendng July 2nd, 2022 4:27 PM

if I had to pick a top 5, it'd look something like this

5) Mimikyu
4) Skarmory
3) Heracross
2) Zangoose
1) Sableye

AuroraVulpix July 25th, 2022 3:18 PM

Some single stage Pokémon I like (gonna be only including Pokémon that are currently single stages and haven’t gained any evolutions, so no stuff like Electabuzz):

Mimikyu, Falinks, Heracross, Dunsparce, Stunfisk, Eiscue, Komala, Mawile, Sableye, Lapras, Hawlucha, Klefki, Minior, Dhelmise, Pyukumuku, Dracovish, and Arctozolt.

The Foogle August 18th, 2022 4:52 PM

Yknow, i never much liked single stage pokemon, since a lot of them aren't that good. (Girafarig, Dunsparce, Maractus, etc.)

However, two single stage pokemon i DO like are Smeargle and Skarmory. Smeargle since it can learn any move via sketch and is therefore one of the best pokemon catchers out there, and Skarmory for its competitive reputation.

Squirtkipfan01 August 18th, 2022 4:57 PM

I always did like unown conceptually, just wish they were more usable. druddigon Is cool too, though other dragons I usually find first

bez850 August 19th, 2022 5:38 AM

Skarmory probably, or Zangoose! I actually have never thought of it lol

soulzzii August 19th, 2022 5:42 AM

Zangoose is the one i used the most, and i really like his design lol, Heracross is also one of my favorite bug types.

TwilightBlade August 19th, 2022 6:31 AM

My top three would be Lapras, Absol, and Audino. The first one was just adorable in the anime during the Orange Island League season. The latter two I like their designs and how they're found in the games (Absol was very rare while Audino was found in the shaking spots).

I also have a soft spot for:
- Aerodactyl
- Mawile
- Tropius
- Corsola
- Sigilyph
- Mimikyu

KalloFox34 August 21st, 2022 3:14 PM

Emolga.

Rotom, Absol, Mimikyu, Sableye, Minior, Aerodactyl, Wishiwashi, and Morpeko are in there too.

If we count legendaries and mythicals, I'll add Lugia, the Latis, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Azelf, Mesprit, Palkia, Giratina, Manaphy, Darkrai, Victini, Reshiram, Yveltal, Lunala, and Zeraora to the mix.
