Every Pokemon With a Branched Evolution Line

Evolution is a core mechanic of the Pokemon franchise, with most Pokemon gaining the ability to transform into a new, more powerful form upon reaching a certain level, interacting with an item, or meeting other various criteria. However, some Pokemon have more than one evolution that can be obtained, splitting their evolution line into two different possibilities. This can often be tricky to remember and track, but don’t worry; we’ve caught ’em all, so take a look below.

All Branched Evolution Lines in Pokemon, Explained

There is a surprising amount of Pokemon that can evolve into more than one species, creating branched evolution lines. These evolution lines may differ through, or be determined by gender, time of day, stats, items, or more.
