'''Evolution''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化|しんか}}''' ''shinka'') is a process in which a Pokémon changes into a different species of Pokémon. This change is not merely physical, however, as Pokémon of a higher evolutionary stage have different (and usually more powerful) [[base stats]] than their predecessors, may have different [[move]]s that can be learned, and sometimes change their [[type]]s, though usually at least one of the types of the previous form is preserved. Other statistics, such as [[Nature]] and {{EV}}s, as well as {{shiny| | '''Evolution''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化|しんか}}''' ''shinka'') is a process in which a Pokémon changes into a different species of Pokémon.

[[Professor Elm]] and [[Professor Rowan]] are the leading experts in Pokémon evolution. According to the latter's research, over 90% of all Pokémon are connected to at least one other through evolution. Rowan is currently investigating whether evolution is a form of maturity in Pokémon, and looking at the implications this process has on legendary Pokémon, which don't evolve. | [[Professor Elm]] and [[Professor Rowan]] are the leading experts in Pokémon evolution.
