5 Pokemon That Deserve New Evolutions
What’s a better way to enjoy a Flashback on a Friday than to talk about Pokemon? Here’s our list of five Pokemon that deserve new evolutions that can either change their perceptions entirely or give them even more value.
Audino: They need better than a mega evolution! This guy is a pushover in singles bouts, plain and simple. His one redeeming quality is that he gives players a ton of experience points when he faints. You might even be able to say he serves a propose in doubles and triples matches, but that’s a bit of a stretch too. Considering that, what if he had a late level evolution, say 75, that would grant even more XP for beating him, but would be a grotesque and nastier version of the cute cuddly thing that it is now? Add a good 150 to all of his stats and that would be a nice payback for all those years on the sidelines.
Pinsir: Another Pokemon that deserves better than a Mega Evolution! This just makes sense. He’s a damn strong bug and his mega evolution is cool, but considering all the attention paid to Scyther the past few games and it’s fair to say Pinsir deserves a new item-based evolution. Since Scyther uses Metal Coat and gains the Steel tag, why couldn’t Pinsir, who’s already a bit scary looking, gain a Dark or Ghost tag? Be pretty cool to see a Ghost Bug in the game.
Lapras: Forget about the Gigantic Form! This dude has been around forever and gets no love. A mere utensil for sea travel, Lapras needs an evolution that shows off all of those years of dependable service. Perhaps a bigger frame and some attention paid to his tiny horn and nonexistent teeth would do the trick.
Dedenne: Adorable isn’t the word. The fairy/electric type is an awesome choice for gamers that have patience, but the lack of an evolutionary chain hurts his overall appeal. Much like Pikachu, a fatter, somewhat more aggressive evolution would do wonders for this useful Pokemon.
Hawlucha: Much like Dedenne, Hawlucha is a useful Pokemon that could be so much cooler if he evolved and gained a bit more speed and power. Now a luchadore wrestler, it would be awesome to see it put on some weight and some muscles. Another signature move to go with the Flying Press would be awesome too.
