There are numerous '''methods of evolution''' which define how and when {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Evolution|evolve]]. Most Pokémon will evolve by leveling up while others evolve through specific means, such as being traded, achieving a certain amount of friendship or leveling at certain times, among others. | There are numerous '''methods of evolution''' which define how and when {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Evolution|evolve]].

For instance, if the player has a {{TCG|Ekans}} card in play, it evolves when a {{TCG|Arbok}} card is placed on top of it. There are multiple ways for that to occur. | ||
The evolution procedure from the real-life card game is used in {{ | Most commonly, Evolution Pokémon can be played from a player's [[hand]] to evolve a Pokémon. This cannot be done to evolve a Pokémon on the first turn of the game or on the same turn a Pokémon enters play. Evolving counts as entering play, so a Pokémon that has evolved or [[Devolution|devolved]] once during a turn cannot be evolved this way a second time. | ||
The card {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Breeder|76}} from {{TCG|Base Set}} allows for a {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}} in the hand to evolve from a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} of the same evolutionary line, although only in situations where the Basic Pokémon is allowed to evolve. (Usually, but not always, this means Pokémon Breeder does not work on the first turn of the game or on a Basic Pokémon during the turn it enters play.) This effect essentially skips the {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}} of an evolutionary line and allows for a Stage 2 Pokémon to enter play a turn sooner than otherwise possible. | |||
The card {{TCG|Rare Candy}} allows for the process of evolution from hand to be sped up in some manner. Its effect was changed starting in {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}. Before that set, when played, Rare Candy allows a player to evolve a Basic Pokémon into either a Stage 1 Pokémon in their hand that evolves from that Pokémon, or a Stage 2 Pokémon in their hand of the same evolutionary line. This was allowed to occur even on the first turn of the game or on the same turn a Pokémon enters play. From Dark Explorers onward, an {{TCG|errata}} makes the card act nearly precisely the same way Pokémon Breeder from Base Set does, only allowing a Stage 2 Pokémon from hand to evolve from the Basic Pokémon of that evolutionary line following normal rules about evolving from the hand. | |||
Some other {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, like {{TCG ID|XY|Evosoda|116}}, cause a Pokémon to evolve. Usually, they search another zone like the [[deck]] to find a card that evolves from the Pokémon being evolved. Most of these effects cannot evolve a Pokémon on the first turn of the game or on the same turn a Pokémon enters play, as per their own text, but a rare few cards such as {{TCG ID|Evolving Skies|Boost Shake|142}} and {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Wally's Training|89}} are allowed to. (Newer renditions of this effect explicitly say that they can be used on the first turn of the game or on the same turn a Pokémon enters play.) | |||
Some {{TCG|attack}}s, {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}s, and {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}} can cause a Pokémon in play to evolve. It does not have to be the Pokémon using the attack, Pokemon Power, or Ability. These effects are usually not restricted by the current turn. Recurring examples of this are the Baby Evolution Poké-Power, the Ascension attack, and the Ultra Evolution attack. These effects usually ignore turn restrictions. Some of them allow for evolving into a Pokémon that does not normally evolve from the Pokémon that is evolving. One example of this is Baby Evolution allowing [[Baby Pokémon]] that are Basic Pokémon to evolve into their evolved forms that are also Basic Pokémon, even though Basic Pokémon do not evolve from any other Pokémon. Another example is that Ultra Evolution, which works like Rare Candy in that it allows a Basic Pokémon to evolve into the Stage 2 Pokémon of its evolutionary line. | |||
Some cards reference methods of evolution found in the core series, such as the {{OBP|Moon Stone|Vending S1}}, {{OBP|Dusk Stone|Unbroken Bonds 167}}, {{TCG ID|Furious Fists|Pancham|59}}, and {{TCG ID|XY|Inkay|74}}. Not all cards referencing methods of evolution have an effect which evolves a Pokémon. | |||
In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game#HeartGold & SoulSilver Series|HeartGold and SoulSilver Series]], the art for {{TCG|Pokémon}} that have evolved in the [[core series]] by either using an item, leveling up while holding an item, or being traded while holding an item included their respective [[evolution item]]. <ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/heartgold-amp-soulsilver Pokémon.com]</ref> | |||
The evolution procedure from the real-life card game is used in {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]], [[Pokémon Play It!]], [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]], {{g|Trading Card Game Online}}, and {{g|Trading Card Game Live}}. | |||
