This is a list of Pokémon families including evolutions from different generations. For example, Pichu (a Generation II Pokémon) evolves into Pikachu (a Generation I Pokémon).
A few of these Pokémon, as a result of new evolutions, become a part of evolutionary families with branched evolutions. Pokémon which evolve into a Pokémon of a previous generation, instead of from it, are always baby Pokémon.
Staring with Generation VII, several old Pokémon families were modified by introducing regional forms of older Pokémon adapted for life in different regions. While regional forms of the same family are always related via breeding, families entirely consisting of regional variant forms of the exact same species are not considered to be in the scope of this page.
Entries in each section are listed in ascending order based on the lowest National Pokédex number among the family members.

Trivia
- Pokémon which evolve into a Pokémon of a previous generation, instead of from it, are always baby Pokémon.
- Conversely, the only baby Pokémon introduced alongside their evolved form are Togepi, Riolu, and Toxel; the rest were introduced in generations after their evolved form was.
- Generation IV introduced the most evolutionary relatives to Pokémon from previous generations, with 29, and Generation VI introduced the fewest evolutionary relatives to Pokémon from previous generations, with only one, Sylveon. Generation V did not introduce any evolutionary relative to Pokémon from previous generations.
- Some cross-generational evolution families have unique distinctions:
- Roselia is the only Pokémon to have both a pre-evolution and an evolution (Budew and Roserade, respectively) introduced in the same generation outside its debut generation.
- Porygon is the only Pokémon to have an evolution introduced in a later generation that was later able to evolve once again.
- The Scyther family is the only branched evolution family to have each member species introduced in a different generation.
- The Tyrogue family is the only one to include Pokémon (Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan) that were introduced as not being related to each other in an evolutionary family.
- The Chansey, Mr. Mime, Electabuzz, Magmar, and Porygon families are the only families to have each member of a three-stage evolutionary family introduced in a different generation.
