'''Evolution''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化|しんか}}''' ''evolution'') is a process in which a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} changes into a different species of Pokémon. This change is not merely physical, however, as Pokémon of a higher evolutionary stage have different (and usually more powerful) [[base stats]] than their predecessors, may have different [[move]]s that can be learned, and sometimes change their [[type]]s, though usually at least one of the types of the previous form is preserved. Other statistics, such as [[Nature]] and {{EV}}s, as well as {{shiny|shininess}}, are preserved. In the real world, it is more similar to {{wp|metamorphosis}} than {{wp|evolution}}.

[[Professor Elm]] and [[Professor Rowan]] are the leading experts in Pokémon Evolution. According to the latter's research, over 90% of all Pokémon are connected to at least one other through Evolution. Rowan is currently investigating whether Evolution is a form of maturity in Pokémon, and looking at the implications this process has on Legendary Pokémon, which don't evolve.
