In {{g|UNITE}}, evolution is a major game mechanic. [[List of Pokémon in Pokémon UNITE|Unite Licenses]] featuring Pokémon that can evolve start each game at their lowest evolutionary stage. (Baby Pokémon are excluded, {{p|Pikachu}} does not evolve, {{p|Duraludon}} does not evolve as its evolution did not exist when it was added to UNITE.) When Pokémon reach certain levels, they evolve automatically. The level requirement varies by the species, and evolving increases the Pokémon's stats. Pokémon usually learn a new [[move]] when they evolve. Most [[Holowear]] only applies to a Pokémon's final evolution, but some Holowear modifies the appearance of prior evolutionary stages. Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Kubfu}} and {{p|Scyther}}, choose their evolutionary line by choosing to learn specific moves. | |||

'''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 all Pokémon evolve simply by placing the next stage card on top of a Pokémon in play that it evolves into. | '''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 all Pokémon evolve simply by placing the next stage card on top of a Pokémon in play that it evolves into. Unlike in video games, moves do not carry over between a Pokémon and its evolution. A Pokémon can only use the attacks on the card of its current state. However, certain effects can care about if a Pokémon has evolved, if a Pokémon has evolved on a specific turn, what Pokémon it evolved from, or even allow an Evolved Pokémon to use moves from its prior evolutions. | ||
Normally, Pokémon cannot be evolved on the first turn of the game or the first turn they come into play, as well as evolve on the same turn they have previously evolved or devolved. | Normally, Pokémon cannot be evolved on the first turn of the game or the first turn they come into play, as well as evolve on the same turn they have previously evolved or devolved. | ||
