I dont think Nincada -> Shedinja should be here...--[[User:Sanky|Sanky]] 19:53, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

:Why not? It's a branched evolution. {{ani|281}}[[User:TinaTheKirlia|<span style="color:#E75480;">T</span><span style="color:#FF69B4;">i</span><span style="color:#F6ADC6;">n</span><span style="color:#FFC0CB;">a</span>]]<sup>[[User:TinaTheKirlia/Sandbox|<span style="color:#FFC0CB;">☆</span>]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Favorites|<span style="color:#F6ADC6;">♥</span>]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|<span style="color:#FF69B4;">♫</span>]]{{Ani|380}}</sup> 20:51, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
::The TCG considers it so, and while it's not really technically a ''branched'' evolution, it's nowhere near a regular one either. It's something like halfway.

Well, OK.--[[User:Sanky|Sanky]] 14:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah. It's one of those weird things, but you can't really say that it's an unrelated yet similar Pokémon (as is the case with Plusle and Minun), despite the fact that it doesn't directly result from the induction of evolution in Nincada, like both Gardevoir and Gallade are for Kirlia. If there were more Pokémon like it, we'd have some other precedent, but it's likely there'll be no more like this (well, there haven't been yet)... so we go with the TCG's classification of it as a brancher.

Just to clear it up, a branched evo is when you have to '''choose''' which evo to get, and with nincada, you get '''both''', so it is not a branch and therefore should not be put on the page.[[User:Leafgreener in 2010|Leafgreener in 2010]] 01:26, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
:Nincada can evolve into more that one Pokemon, which can be considered a branched evolution, even though it is not the same as the others. <small><span style="color:white; background-color:#007FFF">'''X'''</span>[[User:Vuvuzela2010|<span style="color:#007FFF; background-color:white">'''Vuvuzela2010''']]</span><span style="color:white; background-color:#007FFF">'''X'''</span></small> 01:35, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

I think it counts as a branched evolution but should have trivia saying that it is the only one where you can get both evolutions when it evolves [[User:Grassman|Grass is the best]] ([[User talk:Grassman|talk]]) 19:10, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

== Lycanroc ==

Should probably be added.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] ([[User talk:KrytenKoro|talk]]) 16:14, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
:Done. I'm not sure if other people will agree, but I've added it at least for now. I think the fact that we list each Wormadam as a separate entry should be precedent enough for forms to technically be considered branches. Later, if someone decides that it's technically not branched since both Lycanroc share a Pokedex number, then we should probably condense Wormadam into a single row of the chart for consistency.

::If we're going to add Lycanroc, should we also add Meowstic? Granted, both male and female have the same stats, but their movepools and Hidden abilities are different from each other.[[User:PDL|PDL]] ([[User talk:PDL|talk]]) 12:41, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

== Nincada Mark II ==
Regarding Nincada...I have a book (possibly more than one) at home that lists Nincada as a branched evolution. Even disregarding that, I think it should be listed... Leafgreener said that a branch is when you choose which evo to get, but you can choose whether you want just Ninjask or both Ninjask and Shedinja. I don't think that should be the meaning of branched evos but it's not my choice. ----[[User:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#98CC00">Celadonkey</span>]] 17:58, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

::Since there is official media saying so, and since I haven't gotten a response, I'll just add it... --[[User:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#98CC00">Celad</span>]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#FFC37D">onkey</span>]] 01:12, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

== Meowstics ==

Why Meowstics aren't here? Both are same species with two different form, same as Lycanroc.--[[User:Dominikololo|Dominikololo]] ([[User talk:Dominikololo|talk]]) 12:11, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
