 ==In the TCG==
-'''Evolution''' in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] is very similar in some aspects to its counterpart in the [[core series]]. However, it differs mostly in the fact that there are no different methods needed to evolve a Pokémon, but instead, all Pokémon evolve simply by placing the next stage on top of a Pokémon in play that it evolves into.

-Normally, Pokémon cannot be evolved on the first turn of the game or the first turn they come into play, as well evolve on the same turn they have previously evolved or devolved.

 ===Stages of evolution===

 *Stage 1 Pokémon, which represent the middle or final evolutionary forms of certain Pokémon and is the basic stage of [[Fossil]] Pokémon in some sets;

-Only Baby Pokémon and Basic Pokémon may be placed onto the Bench during the setup phase and during play; other Pokémon are considered to be evolution cards and therefore unable to be played except on top of their corresponding pre-evolved forms. The stage of evolution is indicated in a conspicuous place on every Pokémon card, though the placement differs among the generations of cards.
-Pokémon cards that evolve from others as stated on the card are referred to as Evolution cards or Evolution Pokémon. Evolved Pokémon are Pokémon that were put into play by evolving a Pokémon in play.

+A Pokémon becomes evolved once the Evolution card is placed on top of its corresponding pre-evolved form. The stage of evolution is placed conspicuously on every Pokémon card, though this placement differs among the generations of cards.
 ===Ability to evolve===
-A Pokémon card that is in the player's hand must say specifically that it evolves from a Pokémon card that is in play on the player's side. For example, {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Blastoise|3}} states on the card "'''Evolves from Dark Wartortle'''". This means that any card named Dark Wartortle may be evolved into Dark Blastoise. However, a card simply named Wartortle cannot. Likewise, Pokémon such as {{TCG ID|EX Emerald|Rhyhorn|62}} cannot be evolved into a Pokémon that says on it "'''Evolves from Team Magma's Rhyhorn'''".

-However, Pokémon cards from different sets may evolve into one another. For example, {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Dark Crobat|2}} can evolve from either {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Golbat|7}} of the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set or {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Dark Golbat|34}} of the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} set. So long as the card names match precisely both to (here Dark Crobat) and from (here Dark Golbat), the evolution is legal. This rule, of course, can be circumvented by certain means, such as {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}s and {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, however, this is not common.
