ALL POKEMON EVOLUTIONS
This Pokemon evolution chart covers every evolutionary family across all generations. Each card shows the full chain from base form to final stage, along with the method required: level-up, stone, trade, friendship, or special condition. You can filter by type, generation, or specific game to narrow it down.
HOW TO EVOLVE POKEMON
Most Pokemon species have at least one evolution. Close to half of all Pokemon are part of a multi-stage evolution family. Some chains go two stages (like Charmander to Charmeleon to Charizard), and a few even branch into different forms.
The main methods are leveling up, using evolution stones (Fire, Water, Thunder, Moon, and others), trading with another player, raising friendship, and game-specific triggers like location or time of day. Legends Arceus and Legends Z-A also introduced items you use directly from your inventory.
Eevee holds the record for the most evolved forms of any Pokemon. Each one requires a different method: stones, friendship at specific times, or leveling near a mossy or icy rock. No other Pokemon comes close.
You can stop an evolution in progress by pressing B (or the cancel button) when the animation starts. But once a Pokemon evolves, there's no way to reverse it. If you want to keep a pre-evolution, give it an Everstone to hold.
