But they do. They become moths too.
Nope, that was made up too.

Weird evolution:
Gastly > Haunter > Gengar
Ghost evolve into ghost and I don't know what the writers were actually thinking.

Chinchou>Lanturn
Pineco>Forretress
Snorunt>Glalie
I can get the Pineco evolution, maybe, but the other two are just confusing.

*shortened for the point*
Remoraid>Octillery
I agree with your suction theory but it still puzzles my mind.

The weirdest one is remoraid -> Octillery. They seem to be in no way related...It just doesn't make sense.

You know, maybe instead of just posting what Pokemon are not like their pre-evoultions (which is pretty much Pokemon) you could try figuring it out.

Venonat > Venomoth
Larvitar > Pupitar > Tyranitar
Bagon > Shelgon > Salamence
Torchic >>> Blaziken
Natu > Xatu

You want a weirder evolution? Consider some Azurill have sex changes upon evolution.
Sorry to burst your bubble but...Venonat is supposed to turn into Butterfree.
Look at the eyes.

No, no, I checked, Butterfree was created right after Caterpie and Metapod.

What he's saying is that Butterfree's design was Originally intended to be Venonat's Evolution, same with Venomoth's Design and Metapod. I have some Action figures of Metapod and Venomoth, and from the right angle, their body structure are quite similar.

And the Pokemon aren't listed in the order they were made, except by Generation-to-Generation :/ In fact, in an interview with the creators, they design the Final Evolutionary Stage First and work Backwards from that design.

*Sigh* I know what he meant. But I told you I checked. They made Caterpie, then Metapod then Butterfree.
In fact they made both Venonat and Venomoth before they made those three.
By the way, what interview?

Pokemon are based on evolutions. Evolutions are major changes (or mutations) in the DNA in each offspring for many generations.

These mutations lead to new versions of proteins that help an organism and its future generations better adapt to changes in their environment.
Possibly, in the Pokemon world, this new "weird" evolution is to help the Pokemon adapt in other/new environments.

- To conclude this, in the Pokemon world, Pokemon with weird evolutions is just to probably help them live in other/new environments, to protect them better from prey, etc.. The Chinchou → Lanturn evolution, for example, Chinchou possibly evolved to Lanturn because Laturn lives deeper in the sea than Chinchou does.

A weird one would be Poliwhirl - Politoed. I mean aside from the prefix "poli" and being a water type they are completly diffrent O.o

Medium sized blue thing - Big Blue thing not to little green thing :/
Poliwog (i.e. Tadpole) -> Frog.

The third evolution should've been a frog in the first place.

other weird ones:
Chinchou>Lanturn
Pineco>Forretress
Snorunt>Glalie
Pineco -> Forretress makes perfect sense, Pineco remained spherical and Forretress is still a bagworm of some sort.

Hmm....I'm pretty sure they're based after frogs. Poliwhirl being the tadpole and Politoed being the frog. :-D
Oh wait.....that'd be Poliwag, not Poliwhirl.
Maybe Poliwhirl is the frog at the stage when it loses its tail but not developed enogh to live on land yet or something?

Yup. It would be Trapinch & Vibrava. I mean, a large mouth Pokemon that bites hell turn into a bug like dragon!?!?! Come on!
Yeah, I always thought that was weird too...but Flygon makes up for it.

Another weird evolution would have to be...Eggsecute [spelling?] and Exeggutor. Eggs evolve into a....palm/coconut tree?? Unless the eggs are actually the seeds of the coconut or something...

Exeggcute isn't (or aren't) actually eggs. They are seeds. Which look like eggs.

But it's still wierd...



5 eggs > one coconut tree with 3 heads.


Where do you suppose the other two are?

Many thanks to Anastasia.R!

Graveller > Golem (where did the extra arms go?)
Dowzee > Hypno (seriously, how does a trunk become a nose like that?)
Exeggcute > Exeggutor (eggs don't turn into coconuts, c'mon!)
Dragonair > Dragonite (so much difference...)
Sentret > Furret (racoon turns into ferret: interesting!)
Snorunt > Glalie/Froslass (hat becomes glacier/girl?)

But I still like them all. :D
