Evolution: Difference between revisions
Boy, sure is funny UNITE gets the first manga section here. Gonna give it a 4th level header. Also Magikarp would like to brag about it's custom effort gauge mechanic
(→In the TCG: linked to marker, new clause about prior evolutons not technically being attached cards.) |

In {{g|UNITE}}, evolution is a major game mechanic. [[List of Pokémon in Pokémon UNITE|Unite Licenses]] featuring Pokémon that can evolve start each game at their lowest evolutionary stage that is not a [[Baby Pokémon]].({{p|Pikachu}} does not evolve, {{p|Duraludon}} does not evolve as its evolution did not exist when it was added to UNITE.) When Pokémon reach certain [[level]]s, they evolve after either [[goal zone|scoring at a goal zone]] or defeating another Pokémon in battle. "Defeating another Pokémon" can be done either through directly [[Knock out (verb)|Knocking Out]] a Pokemon or getting an [[Knock out (verb)|Assist]] for contributing to Knocking Out a Pokémon on the opposing team. The level requirement varies by the species, and a Pokémon which can evolve at a certain level but has not evolved yet is unable to gain additional levels until it evolves. (Any [[experience|Exp. Points]] gained before evolving at that level are applied after evolution.) While evolving, Pokémon are briefly [[Condition (UNITE)|invincible]]. | In {{g|UNITE}}, evolution is a major game mechanic.

Evolving increases the Pokémon's stats, and Pokémon usually learn a new [[move]] when they evolve. Most [[Holowear]] only applies to a Pokémon's final evolution, but some Holowear modifies the appearance of prior evolutionary stages. Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Kubfu}} and {{p|Scyther}}, choose their evolutionary line by choosing to learn specific moves. As a result of this, these Pokémon only evolve after learning the relevant move. | Evolving increases the Pokémon's stats, and Pokémon usually learn a new [[move]] when they evolve.

Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Kubfu}} and {{p|Scyther}}, choose their evolutionary line by choosing to learn specific moves. As a result of this, these Pokémon only evolve after learning the relevant move. {{p|Magikarp}} has an alternate method of evolving available exclusively to it. {{a|Rattled}} provides it an effort gauge which it can fill by contributing to the battle. If the effort gauge is filled up, Magikarp gets to evolve into {{p|Gyarados}} earlier than normal. | |||
[[Wild Pokémon]] which do not appear as part of groups with their evolved form evolve during the Final Stretch portion of each Unite Battle. After evolving, they hold more [[Aeos energy]] than their unevolved forms. (However, wild Pokémon that do not evolve do still hold more Aeos energy during the Final Stretch, so this may not be linked to evolution.) | [[Wild Pokémon]] which do not appear as part of groups with their evolved form evolve during the Final Stretch portion of each Unite Battle.

Aeos energy can be used to make Pokémon evolve.<ref name="UNITEPress">[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/NEW-INFORMATION-REVEALED-FOR-Pokemon-UNITE NEW INFORMATION REVEALED FOR Pokémon UNITE], Press release</ref> Before every battle, Aeos energy is also used to reduce a Pokémon to [[level]] 1, causing it to [[devolve]] in the process.<ref name="UNITEPress" /> | |||

Evolution is portrayed differently across manga adaptations. For example, in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], Pokémon are capable to evolve whenever they wish, and they revert to previous evolution stages. It seems that Pokémon can skip evolution stages as well, as is the case with [[Green's Charizard|Green's Charmander]] when it skips its {{p|Charmeleon}} stage and evolves directly into {{p|Charizard}}. | Evolution is portrayed differently across manga adaptations.

====Pokémon UNITE Manga - Come On Over to Aeos Island!==== | |||
In [[Pokémon UNITE Manga - Come On Over to Aeos Island!]], no evolutions have been seen on panel. However, in ''[[COA1|Aeos Energy]]'', [[Professor Phorus]] recalled a time where the latent [[Aeos energy]] of [[Aeos Island]] caused her {{p|Beldum}} and a wild {{p|Scorbunny}} to appear to have evolved. This was depicted as having their evolutions appear behind the original Pokémon in faded tones. | |||
