(Undo revision 2584485 by Solar Dragon (talk) It's about Professor Rowan's research, and so far Rowan has only appeared in generation IV, where no legendary pokemon evolved.) |

Pokémon that can evolve into more than one Pokémon will usually have the ways in which the evolution is activated being slightly similar, such as having both being initiated by [[evolutionary stone]] or by trading while [[held item|holding an item]]. Closely-related Pokémon, such as {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}, will also have very similar, if not identical, evolution methods. | Pokémon that can evolve into more than one Pokémon will usually have the ways in which the evolution is activated being slightly similar, such as having both being initiated by [[evolutionary stone]] or by trading while [[held item|holding an item]].

Some Pokémon have different evolutions depending on their gender. For example, only female {{p|Combee}} can evolve into {{p|Vespiquen}}; male Combee cannot evolve at all.

For example, only female {{p|Combee}} can evolve into {{p|Vespiquen}}; male Combee cannot evolve at all. Meanwhile, all {{p|Snorunt}} can evolve into {{p|Glalie}}, but females only have the option of evolving into {{p|Froslass}} instead. This instance occurs in a similar way with {{p|Kirlia}}, albeit with males having split evolution instead. | ||
Also, there have been situations in which the current party must be configured in a specific manner for some Pokémon to evolve. So far, only three Pokémon need to have these special requirements. {{p|Mantyke}} will evolve into {{p|Mantine}} if leveled up with a {{p|Remoraid}} in the player's party. {{p|Nincada}} will evolve into {{p|Ninjask}} when it reaches level 20. However, if there happens to be an empty space in the player's party (and a spare [[Poké Ball]] in Generation IV onward), a {{p|Shedinja}} will also appear in the party. {{p|Pancham}} evolves into {{p|Pangoro}} if its level is 32 or higher and there is a Dark-type Pokémon in the player's party. | Also, there have been situations in which the current party must be configured in a specific manner for some Pokémon to evolve.
