Evolution: Difference between revisions

In the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}}, Evolution is restricted until the player complete the main scenario of the respective games. Evolution is typically done in a ritual held in several locations across the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}, including [[Luminous Cave]], the [[Luminous Spring]], or the Tree of Life. However, starting in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], the player character and their partner may not evolve until they complete an additional scenario. Pokémon who evolve through unusual methods require an additional item to act as a catalyst.  

In later games in the series, enemy Pokémon may evolve at will after defeating a member of the player's party. In {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, the player character and their partner evolve into their final forms several times throughout the story. In addition, recruitable Pokémon that exist as NPCs in this game or previous games will refuse evolution. However, because all Pokémon can be recruited separately though the [[Connection Orb]], the player can still access their respective evolved forms in alternate ways.
