What Pokemon do you think should evolve?

    Disclaimer: this thread is NOT directed towards mega evos. That will be another thread. This thread is also to NOT be used as a discussion to why cross gen evos are now only for regional variants.

    So basically, what the title says! Are there any creatures in the game you think should evolve? Bonus points if you can mention a non single stage creature that is still usable but can be improved. You are also free to state mons you think won't evolve.

    Octillery - Although that's mostly because I saw many interesting ideas for one. Although to be fair, if it goes like a fish that acts like a firearm to an octopus acting like a cannon, what's next? A giant squid that acts like a tank?

    Dunsparce and Komala - Both of them for similar reasons. I'm aware they are both usable in their forms, they just look like a basic stage to something in their designs.

    Luvdisc - At first, it was meant to allow the player to thief Heart scales off it to help relearn moves. Now that you can relearn moves for free, maybe this will evolve to give it another purpose.

    As for mons I think won't evolve, any creature who's main stat's lie among their defenses. That is unless their BST as a whole is really low. Because y'know, Eviolite. I'm very certain the Eviolite is the reason we haven't had cross gen evos for so long. Because it was shown that the Eviolite caused some creatures, especially ones who were given an evo in a later generation, a chance to be better than their evolved forms.
     
    Lapras should've had a baby pokemon in gen 2 imo. Lots of (cute) potential if that happens owo

    Speaking of Luvdisc, I genuinely thought that Alomomola was its evolution when I first saw it in-game
     
    Aside from the obvious ones like Luvdisc and Dunsparce, Kricketune desperately needs an evolution in order for it to not suck.
     
    I would have preferred that Mega Absol be a true evolution. Qwilfish could as an evolution to be more viable. I'd love to see some a lot of the evolutions and pre-evolutions from the gold and silver betas come back in later games, especially that potential Ditto evo. Give it some boosted stats and some moves like mirror move, assist, or mimic so that it could attack without relying solely on transform but still maintain the clone/copy gimmick.
     
    Pinsir/Heracross: you know how Scyther got an evolution in Scizor but instead of giving it more stats they just changed the stat spread and gave it a better typing? I wish they did the same with Pinsir and Heracross. Especially Pinsir falls into the category of being completely forgotten. It's nice that they gave them a mega (though, so did Scizor), though that means little now as GF decided to scrap the concept again.

    Seaking: this Pokemon is so forgettable, it's just sad. Its stats are mediocre, it's move pool is ok but there is nothing that stands out. Lightning Rod is nice, but means little when literally every other Water Type is just so much better overall.
     
    I actually think that Eevee should get a normal-type evolution through levelling up normally, just called "Eon". Ditto would be a fun one as well, if only because it'd be interesting to see what they did with it. Spiritomb should also get an evolution where it just breaks right out of the keystone, and Banette really should have had a third evolution to parallel Dusknoir, rather than a mega...megas really do ruin everything =/
     
    Shuckle and Qwilfish, for sure.
     
    Chatot - cute design, but is one of the few flying types that don't evolve. At least Skarmory is useful.

    Komala - totally agree that it seems like a base stage Pokemon. I was so disappointed when I found out it couldn't evolve.

    Torkoal - it's a stretch, but I feel like Turtonator could have been it's evolution or something. Torkoal is just kinda there. It needs a serious buff.

    Qwilfish - yes for sure. It's just kinda there in Johto with nothing else going for it.
     
    Sheep convinced me, we should have gotten a fairy branch evolution for yamper, but other than that I say dunsparce.

    The pokemon is just sad, at this point, I'd love for it to get some love. If not a full evolution
    than maybe at least a joke mega-evolution that improves on its original concept and makes it the tankiest thing on earth.
     
    I have been growing more fond of Drifloon and Drifblim recently, I liked them before (Drifloon more so) cause they are mostly purple (my fav color) and have cool crys, more recently I searched their sprites from previous gens which were nice, Drifloon is a rare encounter in Ultra Moon so it was great to finally encounter and catch one and I found out recently Drifblim is super bulky in the HP department which I didn't expect considering Drifloon always felt weak in that area, of-course everyone says they should become a full blimp which would be awesome and I really love Blimps so hopefully that happens in Brilliant Diamond and Shinning Pearl if they give more Pokemon evolutions and Pre evolutions like they did first time around :)

    Honestly a lot of the one off Gen 2 pokemon deserve a new evolution imo. I'd love to see quilfish turn into something that actually seems scary and not just a slightly bumpy round boi.
    And maybe a new evo for Octilery. I know its OG tank design was nerfed but I'd love to see them go all out and add in the steel type and make it a full blown weapon.
     
    mightyena. if linoone gets an evolution (galarian linoone evolves into obstagoon), the other evolved form of a different route 1 hoenn pokemon should get its own evolution too.

    That would be cool! Though I honestly think Mightyena could've had a really cool mega and would have been an awesome option for it. Maybe one day it'll get something. @_@
