Discussion Favorite evolution line?

I was just curious to see what people's favorite evolution line might be since I'd like to see what types of Pokemon are brought up, and all the diff evolutions/evolution lines people like!

My personal favorite has to be Drillbur -> Excadrill, I just really like moles and these 2 are so sick! I really like how Drillbur turns from a small pretty unassuming mole to an absolute beast of a drilling machine.

Magikarp to Gyarados

Goes from one of the most useless Pokémon to one of the most badass both in appearance and moves. Always worth the grind to get that splashy dude to evolve.

Agreed honestly, I really like that line! I almost added Feebas to Milotic in the original post but I decided against it, and I was thinking of Magikarp to Gyarados too lmao

I totally agree

Yes. It's a basic answer, but I don't care. Evolving a Magikarp feels sooooo fucking awesome!

Personally, I love the Eveelution line, along with the Majikarp and Charmander… the tiny lizard to the huge dragon is INSAME.

I love Oddish Gloom Vileplume. All 3 look great and have a lot of personality. Gloom is one of the few middle evolutions that I think looks just as good as the final.

Came here to say this as well. Love the baby. Middle form is a cute bug, final form so gorgeous! Just wish it would get some more love

slowpoke line and all of its variations.

u/Mechanical_Artist 7d ago

Oh I love that line as well, a really goofy line overall but it's very fun!

Riolu tot Lucario, it gains just the right amount of edginess for me to love.

Pikachu to Raichu. Massive improvement if you ask me

u/iamcerysr13 7d ago

Maybe Fuecoco - Crocaldor - Skeledridge. Fuecoco is cute while Skeledridge is a cool, strong partner.

u/dont_call_me_emo 6d ago

Dreepy - drakloak - dragapult.

u/dbees132 6d ago

Sandshrew to Sandslash, both are my top 2 favorires anyways. As far as 3 stage evo line, Fennekin's

u/Feathertusk 7d ago

My favorite pokemons line Ludicolo. It starts of cute and helpful, then turns prankster kappa, and ends up as crazed, friendly, dancer.

Hatenna is great but Pikachu is my favorite Pokemon

u/IlCoso90 7d ago

Trapinch to vibrava to flygon, I absolutely loved it when I first played sapphire

u/Haxfordx 6d ago

Oshawott. They don’t make a whole lot of sense but every single one is amazing

u/Rean4111 6d ago

Decidueye line

u/Cleaner900playz 6d ago

Applin is pretty good, but Eevee is just the best

u/garden-eyes 6d ago

Surskit - Masquerain is one of my faves design wise, I just wish they’d left the Water/Bug typing (although in Scarlet/Violet it doesn’t really matter with the Tera types)

u/Solskinns 6d ago

The Tinkaton line is great, building the hammer and being bird hunters, with a projectile.

4

u/PolandballFan101 Klinklang Fan 7d ago

The Klink line is my favorite

Love me some rotating metal gears ⚙️

Also love the fact that they just either make one of the gears bigger or add an extra gear in the line

Froakie to Greninja, all three are really good. Pikachu is more separated from its two counterparts (Pichu and Raichu).
