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 Warrior Skill (One-Eyed Dragon) and the title of his story (The Dragon's Dream) come from his historical nickname: the One-eyed Dragon (独眼竜).
Historical origin
Masamune is based on the real-life Date Masamune of Japanese history. Yoshi was his mother and Iroha was his daughter. Kagetsuna , Tsunamoto , and Shigezane were three of his most faithful retainers, the latter also his cousin. Munetoki and Tsunenaga were also retainers. Munezane served both Masamune's father (Date Terumune , who is not in the game) and Shigezane.
