Due to link caps, and most evolutions triggering on stat thresholds, certain Pokémon linked to this Warrior require high IVs to evolve.

Evolution eligibility in this table assumes the following:

  •   Max Energy multiplier of 1.1× applied to stats.
  • The full range of 0-31 IVs is considered. (Default Pokémon have 15 IVs in every stat, while wild Pokémon can have 0-31 IVs)

Notes:

  • Passwords can bypass normal availability checks in any story.
  • Pokémon marked with an asterisk (*) next to their password eligibility require an unofficial password.
  • "Direct link" means linking to that exact Pokémon in the wild, as opposed to evolving a previous form of it.

Trivia

  • His use of ofuda is reminiscent of an onmyōji.
  • The kanji on his helmet is the character for "love." Despite its unusual design, it is not a fictional creation but was featured on his helmet.

Historical origin

Kanetsugu is based on the real-life Naoe Kanetsugu of Japanese history. He served as Kenshin's page and was married to Sen (Osen no kata).

His Psychic type specialty in Conquest may reference his service under Kenshin.
