Most Pokémon that evolve do so after leveling up. This can be triggered by gaining [[experience]] in battle or by using a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}. Sometimes, several additional conditions must be met in addition to gaining a level for a Pokémon to evolve, such as being at or above a specific level, knowing a move, or being in a specific location. When these conditions are met, a Pokémon will attempt to evolve every time it gains a level unless the conditions are removed. A Pokémon left in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} will not evolve, though, even if the conditions are met. Before [[Generation VI]], Pokémon would not evolve if player loses the battle, no matter if the conditions have been met. | Most Pokémon that evolve do so after leveling up.

Note that if a Pokémon levels up under the conditions required for evolution and then faints before the battle is over, the Pokémon will still attempt to evolve at the end of the battle, but it will not be revived from fainting. | Note that if a Pokémon levels up under the conditions required for evolution and then faints before the battle is over, the Pokémon will still attempt to evolve at the end of the battle, but it will not be revived from fainting. Additionally, a Pokémon can evolve only once per level, even if it is in a [[Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|three-stage evolution family]] and under the conditions required for both of its evolutions. Such a Pokémon must level up again to evolve for the second time. | ||
