Evolution is not a merely visual change. When a Pokémon evolves, it becomes a new species of Pokémon. This new species has a different Pokédex number and [[base stat]]s, and may be a different [[type]] (although normally at least one of the pre-evolved form's types remains the same), learn different moves, and have a different [[Ability]]. The Pokémon's personal properties, however, such as [[Nature]] and {{Shiny|Shininess}}, remain. | Evolution is not a merely visual change. When a Pokémon evolves, it becomes a new species of Pokémon.

Holding an [[Everstone]] prevents a Pokémon from evolving by level up or trade. Additionally, the player can prevent a Pokémon from evolving upon leveling up by pressing the B button when it would evolve. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player does not have the [[National Pokédex]], if a Pokémon in the [[Kanto Pokédex]] meets its evolution conditions but its evolved form is not in the Kanto Pokédex (for example, {{p|Chansey}}'s evolution into {{p|Blissey}}), it will attempt to evolve but fail. | Holding an [[Everstone]] prevents a Pokémon from evolving by level up or trade.

When a Pokémon evolves, it immediately attempts to learn all moves that the evolved form can learn at its current [[level]]. Additionally, starting in [[Generation VII]], some Pokémon have [[Evolution move]]s, which are moves that Pokémon will always attempt to learn when evolving into that species, regardless of level. | When a Pokémon evolves, it immediately attempts to learn all moves that the evolved form can learn at its current [[level]].
