Evolution does not occur automatically; instead, it must be manually triggered. Evolution is explained in Story Mode as an effect of the world being in a state of danger. The ability of Pokémon to evolve must be unlocked through the course of Story Mode (in ''Blue Rescue Team'' and ''Red Rescue Team'', {{p|Rayquaza}} must be defeated, while in ''Explorers of Time'' and ''Explorers of Darkness'', the [[Wigglytuff's Guild]] must be defeated). Similarly, in both Gates to Infinity and Super PMD players can evolve after both completing the game and reuniting the main character and partner. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Blue/Red Rescue Team evolution does not instantly make a Pokémon stronger, unlike in the core series games; however, as of Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky, evolution does immediately increase stats. | Evolution does not occur automatically; instead, it must be manually triggered.

This is actually a very old feature that has been present in non-Pokémon entries in the Mystery Dungeon franchise for a very long time (in one sense, it goes back to the very first game in the Mystery Dungeon franchise, though it worked slightly differently there). The sound effect that is used for Enemy Pokémon evolving after defeating a party Pokémon is the exact same one used in other Mystery Dungeon games for the aforementioned long-standing equivalent mechanic. | ||
