o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------o | POKÉMON RISING RUBY / SINKING SAPPHIRE | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Evolution Changes | Modifications to Pokémon Evolution Methods | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------o | This document covers any changes made to the way a Pokémon evolves. The Pokémon | | modified can be split into two distinct sections. | | | | Any Pokémon with a trade evolution has been modified so that they no longer need | | to be traded to evolve. There are three distinct subtypes of this evolution: | | | | - Pokémon that needed to be traded with an item can now use that item like an | | evolution stone. Evolution items can be found in Slateport Market and Lilycove | | Department Store, with some exceptions like the Prism Scale (found on Corsola). | | | | - Pokémon that need a trade with no additional requirements now have a particular | | level at which they evolve. However, they can also evolve by happiness, keeping | | the 'any level' evolution they had before. It depends which one you reach first! | | | | - Pokémon that need to be traded with another Pokémon to evolve are now able to | | evolve by having that other Pokémon in the party and levelling up. It doesn't | | make a whole lot of sense, but it's the best we've got! | | | | Please note that these new evolution methods are in addition to the trading way, | | meaning that trading the Pokémon will still evolve it as before. | | | | The other type of evolution change is a Pokémon evolution level reduction, as a | | lot of Pokémon have an evolution level that's too high to keep up with the pace | | of the game. The majority of Pokémon affected by this change are from Unova where | | the evolution levels were incredibly high, but levels have also been reduced for | | Pokémon from the other regions that are caught fairly early but still have an | | evolution level hovering around 40. Zweilous still holds the title of having the | | latest evolution, but now evolves at 59 instead of 64 before. All new numbers and | | the amount subtracted from the old number are listed below. | | | | A version of the evolution GARC is available without evolution level reductions | | is available if preferred. However, level up moves for Pokémon affected by this | | have been modified to assume that they evolve at the levels listed here. | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Files mentioned in this document | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------o | a/1/9/2 | Pokémon Evolution Methods | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------o o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Trade Evolutions | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o | ### | Unevolved | Evolved | New Evolution Methods | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o | 064 | Kadabra | Alakazam | Level up with 220+ friendship value or at Lv. 36. | | 067 | Machoke | Machamp | Level up with 220+ friendship value or at Lv. 39. | | 075 | Graveler | Golem | Level up with 220+ friendship value or at Lv. 36. | | 094 | Haunter | Gengar | Level up with 220+ friendship value or at Lv. 36. | | 525 | Boldore | Gigalith | Level up with 220+ friendship value or at Lv. 36. | | 533 | Gurdurr | Conkeldurr | Level up with 220+ friendship value or at Lv. 36. | | 708 | Phantump | Trevenant | Level up with 220+ friendship value or at Lv. 23. | | 710 | Pumpkaboo | Gourgeist | Level up with 220+ friendship value or at Lv. 23. | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Trade with Item Evolutions | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o | ### | Unevolved | Evolved | New Evolution Methods | Evolution Item Location | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o | 061 | Poliwhirl | Politoed | Use a King's Rock. | Slateport Market | | 079 | Slowpoke | Slowking | Use a King's Rock. | Slateport Market | | 095 | Onix | Steelix | Use a Metal Coat. | Slateport Market | | 112 | Rhydon | Rhyperior | Use a Protector. | Lilycove Department Store | | 117 | Seadra | Kingdra | Use a Dragon Scale. | Slateport Market | | 123 | Scyther | Scizor | Use a Metal Coat. | Slateport Market | | 125 | Electabuzz | Electivire | Use an Electirizer. | Lilycove Department Store | | 126 | Magmar | Magmortar | Use a Magmarizer. | Lilycove Department Store | | 137 | Porygon | Porygon2 | Use an Up-Grade. | Slateport Market | | 233 | Porygon2 | Porygon-Z | Use a Dubious Disc. | Lilycove Department Store | | 349 | Feebas | Milotic | Use a Prism Scale. | Wild Corsola (50%) | | 356 | Dusclops | Dusknoir | Use a Reaper Cloth. | Lilycove Department Store | | 366 | Clamperl | Huntail | Use a Deep Sea Tooth. | Slateport Market | | 366 | Clamperl | Gorebyss | Use a Deep Sea Scale. | Slateport Market | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Trade with Pokémon Evolutions | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o | ### | Unevolved | Evolved | New Evolution Methods | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o | 588 | Karrablast | Escavalier | Level up with a Shelmet in the party. | | 616 | Shelmet | Accelgor | Level up with a Karrablast in the party. | o-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------------------------------------------------o | Level Adjustments | o---------------------------------------------------------------o | ### | Unevolved | Evolved | Old | New | Diff | o---------------------------------------------------------------o | 077 | Ponyta | Rapidash | Lv. 40 | Lv. 37 | -
