In the [[core series]] games, Pokémon may only evolve after one of three events:
In the [[core series]] games, Pokémon normally only evolve after one of three events:
*[[List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level|Gaining a level]]
*[[List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level|Gaining a level]]
*{{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone|Being exposed to an evolutionary stone}}
*{{cat|Pokémon that evolve by using an item|Being exposed to an item}} (such as an [[evolutionary stone]])
*{{cat|Pokémon that evolve through trading|Being traded}}
*{{cat|Pokémon that evolve through trading|Being traded}}


When the appropriate trigger occurs, if the Pokémon meets the requirements to evolve, it will do so. However, if a Pokémon levels up in battle, it will only evolve after the battle ends.
Prior to [[Generation VIII]], the above were the only triggers to evolve Pokémon. However, {{g|Sword and Shield}} introduced three new triggers, each only used by a single Pokémon species:
*Striking a [[Victory Pose]] with the Pokémon in the party
*The Pokémon performing a specific action in battle
*Traveling through a specific location with the Pokémon in the party
 
When the appropriate trigger occurs, if the Pokémon meets the requirements to evolve, it will do so. However, if a Pokémon meets the trigger in battle, it will only evolve after the battle ends.


A Pokémon holding an [[Everstone]] cannot evolve by level up or trade (except {{p|Kadabra}} from Generation IV onward); however, even if a Pokémon holds an Everstone, it can still be evolved by exposure to an [[Evolutionary stone]].

===Evolutionary stone===
===Using an item===
Some Pokémon evolve when they are exposed to a specific item. The player can use one of these items on a compatible Pokémon at any time outside of battle, which consumes the item. Unlike other evolution methods, evolution by exposure to an item cannot be prevented by holding an [[Everstone]]. Due to being able to evolve at any time, these Pokémon usually learn fewer or no moves by level up after evolving.

Some Pokémon evolve when they are exposed to a specific [[evolutionary stone]]. The player can use an Evolutionary stone on compatible Pokémon at any time outside of battle. Using an Evolutionary stone on a Pokémon consumes the item. Unlike other evolution methods, evolution by Evolutionary stone cannot be prevented by holding an [[Everstone]]. Due to being able to evolve at any time, these Pokémon usually learn fewer or no moves by level up after evolving.
The most common type of item that can trigger this kind of evolution is an Evolutionary stone (and was the only type that could, prior to [[Generation VIII]]). Despite its name, the [[Oval Stone]] is not an Evolutionary stone, because it triggers evolution as a [[held item]] rather than by being used directly.
 
Despite its name, the [[Oval Stone]] is not an Evolutionary stone, due to the method in which it must be used to trigger an evolution.

While most Pokémon that evolve by Evolutionary stone have no additional requirements, some Pokémon that evolve this way can only evolve if they are a specific gender. This evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation IV]].

===Unique triggers===
{{incomplete|section|needs=The specific conditions for each color of Alcremie}}
[[Generation VIII]] introduced several unique triggers for newly introduced Pokémon and [[regional form]]s. These triggers are all exclusive to a single Pokémon.
* {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Farfetch'd}} evolves into {{p|Sirfetch'd}} after it lands three [[critical hit]]s in a single battle.
* {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Yamask}} evolves into {{p|Runerigus}} when the player travels through the stone gate in the [[Dusty Bowl]] after it has lost 49 {{stat|HP}} or more from a single attack without [[fainting]].
* {{p|Milcery}} evolves into {{p|Alcremie}} when the player performs a [[Victory Pose]] while Milcery holds a [[Sweet]]. Unless Milcery is {{Shiny}}, Alcremie's color depends on the [[time]] of day, the length of the spin, and the direction of the spin; if Milcery is {{Shiny}}, Alcremie takes on its sole Shiny coloration. Alcremie's Sweet corresponds to the Sweet Milcery held.<!--put the conditions for each Alcremie color as sub-bullets-->

{{main|Evolution Item (Pinball)}}
In [[Pokémon Pinball]] and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], once the "Evolution Mode" or "EVO Mode" starts and the player chooses a Pokémon to evolve, that Pokémon evolves if the player collects three repeated evolution symbols before the time runs up.
In [[Pokémon Pinball]] and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], once the "Evolution Mode" or "EVO Mode" starts and the player chooses a Pokémon to evolve, that Pokémon evolves if the player collects three repeated evolution symbols before the time runs up.


In Pokémon Pinball, the 151 [[Generation I]] Pokémon are available. Most evolve by [[experience]], which requires getting three "Ex" symbols. Some evolve using a [[Fire Stone]], [[Leaf Stone]], [[Thunder Stone]], or [[Water Stone]], in which case the player needs to get the respective stone three times. If the Pokémon evolves by [[trade]] in the core series, then the player needs to get three [[Game Link Cable|Link Cables]]. Each time the player gets an evolution symbol, a blue counter with the image of the current method of evolution appears below the Pokémon Panel (the place where the Pokémon appears).

Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire, there are 205 available Pokémon. The first 201 are the Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Generation III Hoenn Pokédex]], except for {{p|Deoxys}}, which is unavailable from this game. The other 4 are unnumbered Pokémon not found in the Hoenn Pokédex: {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Totodile}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}}, which are unable to evolve in this game. All methods of evolution from the previous game return, with the addition of evolution by getting three [[Sun Stone]], [[Friendship]] (heart), or [[PokéBlock]] symbols.
