As of [[Generation | *[[Professor Rowan]] is said in the games to have studied Pokémon evolution and determined that 90% of all Pokémon are related in some way by evolution. As of [[Generation VI]], with 110 (59 normal, 51 legendary) Pokémon out of 718 total not evolving, this is quite accurate, as a little over 84% of all Pokémon undergo at least one evolution before being fully evolved. Excluding legendaries, which do not evolve as a rule, brings this percentage to just over 91%. In previous generations: | ||

* By far, most three-stage evolution families were introduced in Generation I, with 27 such families having their roots there (though not necessarily their most unevolved or most evolved forms). Because of branch evolution, 29 of the second-evolution Pokémon can count themselves as members of a Generation I evolution family. Generation V has the second most, with 19 three-stage families (none due to branching). Generation III has the next most, with 16 three-stage families that end in 18 Pokémon (again due to branching), while Generation II and Generation | ** 102 (54 normal, 48 legendary) Pokémon did not evolve in Generation V, with percentages of 84% including and 91% excluding legendary Pokémon.{{tt|*|Note that this does include Pokémon that do not evolve but are still closely related, such as Throh and Sawk.}} | ||

** Generation V, however, has introduced the most original three-stage evolutions, as many of the three stage-evolutions stemming from Generation I include Pokémon not introduced in the same generation as their evolutionary relatives. | ** Generation V, however, has introduced the most original three-stage evolutions, as many of the three stage-evolutions stemming from Generation I include Pokémon not introduced in the same generation as their evolutionary relatives. | ||
