A Stage 1 Pokémon is a type of evolution card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Stage 1 Pokémon evolve from Basic Pokémon.

A Stage 1 Pokémon can be placed on top of any related Basic Pokémon in play (including Fossils or Pokémon that have evolved from Baby Pokémon) at any time before the player's attack. Stage 1 Pokémon cannot evolve on the turn the Basic Pokémon was played, or on the player's first turn. When placed onto the Basic Pokémon card, all Energy cards, damage counters and other attached cards remain, but any Special Conditions or effects on the Pokémon are removed. Stage 1 Pokémon may only use their Stage 1 attacks, unless their card specifically states otherwise. Stage 1 Pokémon normally have a picture of the Basic Pokémon from which they evolve in the upper left hand corner of the card, along with the text 'Evolves from <Basic Pokémon>'. Stage 1 Pokémon can be removed from the Basic Pokémon by use of Devolution.

Pokémon such as Ivysaur, Raichu, and Cloyster are Stage 1 Pokémon. They evolve from Basic Pokémon such as Bulbasaur, Pikachu, and Shellder.
