<\/figure>\n

Some of the most memorable moments in the Pok\u00e9mon<\/em><\/a> games are seeing one’s favorite\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon evolve. Some undergo subtle changes, while others blossom into stunning and powerful creatures. Whatever the case, each evolution serves to improve their combat potential, whether it be through added bulk or sheer strength.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, not every evolution works out aesthetically. In fact, some so-called “evolutions” make players question how those changes came to be in the first place. Size, limb count, and even color scheme differ from one stage to the next. In these instances, Pok\u00e9mon change in such a drastic fashion that it’s enough to make Charles Darwin roll in his grave.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Graveler Into Golem<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Both Graveler and its Alolan variant share a similar design. Building off of Geodude’s simplicity, they become hefty boulders sprouting an extra set of arms and two legs. Going forward, however, this concept gets replaced with something more reptilian; the result is Golem, which looks more like a stony tortoise than a living rock. The Alolan form even gains a railgun-like protrusion upon evolving, making even less sense. This transition has stumped veteran\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon fans for years, and it’s doubtful that a proper explanation will ever come to light.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Inkay Into Malamar<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While not as confusing as Graveler’s change, Inkay’s evolution still falls into a similar category of absurdity<\/a>. After reaching level 30, Inkay evolves when the game system of choice (whether it be the 3DS or the Switch) is held upside-down. Malamar definitely looks<\/em> the part, as the squid-like tentacles that acted as Inkay’s legs now appear as hair. Everything else flips around, as well. Somehow, though, the simple act of flipping over causes the Pok\u00e9mon to grow three feet taller. Perhaps it took a page out of Voltorb’s book…<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Pupitar Into Tyranitar<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Larvitar and Tyranitar definitely look enough alike to be related. Pupitar, however, fits into the mold of “awkward middle evolution.” One would think rock monsters didn’t need to envelop themselves in a cocoon like some sort of stony butterfly, but apparently that assumption is wrong.<\/p>\n

Most interestingly, Pupitar nearly grows a whole three feet in height when evolving into Tyranitar; the weight difference between the two, however, is only 110 pounds. Still, the Hard Shell\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon carries some serious heft<\/a>, as well as decent base stats to boot.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Galarian Linoone Into Obstagoon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

To their credit, Galarian Linoone and its evolution Obstagoon share very similar designs aesthetically. The real crime in this transformation comes from Linoone’s transition from a badger to something straight out of a KISS concert. Obstagoon, while powerful and threatening in its own right<\/a>, goes through such a crazy change. It’s a little hard to believe that the developers thought Linoone, of all\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon, should be the one to transform into this beast. Was a different\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon meant to take its place, or were they just pressed for time?<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Feebas Into Milotic<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This meek fish’s transformation into a graceful sea creature is obviously a classic “Ugly Duckling” story, but that doesn’t make the transition any less jarring. Aside from their tail fin’s base color being vaguely similar, Feebas and Milotic have absolutely nothing in common. Not even their Abilities match up! For as impressive and powerful as Milotic is, it doesn’t make sense for it to evolve straight away from such a horrid fish. And with how difficult it was to catch Feebas in its debut generation, it’s unlikely that many trainers saw that transformation for themselves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Cosmoem Into Solgaleo\/Lunala<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Cosmog line is one of the most interesting in\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon history. This is primarily because it is one of the only Legendary\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon to evolve, the others being Type: Null and the more recent Kubfu. Its journey to becoming Solgaleo or Lunala is just as interesting. Cosmoem, which acts as a sort of cocoon stage, stands at four inches tall. Somehow, this galactic egg transforms into a massive beast, either a gallant lion or an ethereal bat. Aside from a few shared properties, Cosmoem’s evolution is possibly one of the most drastic and bizarre.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Dragonair Into Dragonite<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Dratini and Dragonair both have serpentine designs<\/a> with small fin or wing-like appendages on the sides of their heads. How, then, do they finish by becoming a large orange dragon with tiny bat-like wings on its back?<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0The 10 Most Ferocious Dragon-Type Pok\u00e9mon, Ranked<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The only things that transfer over from Dragonair’s design upon evolution are its horn and its round nose. Everything else about Dragonite makes it feel like its own\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon separate from the Dratini line. At the very least, Dragonair probably enjoys its newfound limbs.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Torracat Into Incineroar<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

As a general trend that has yet to be broken, it seems that the final evolution of the fire starters will always turn out bipedal, regardless of how many legs its previous iterations walked on. Fans were mildly disappointed to find that the same held true for Litten’s final evolution, Incineroar. While Torracat’s design made sense as a step up from Litten, Incineroar took the changes a bit too far to look natural. Thankfully, however, this wrestler fanatic didn’t end up being another Fire\/Fighting type<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Clamperl Into Huntail\/Gorebyss<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

As any aspiring marine biologist knows, a pearl does not transform into an eel. With the existence of Clamperl, however, it becomes clear that the people working at Game Freak are not marine biologists. The “pearl” part of Clamperl could be construed as a fish egg, but even then, its evolution shows a drastic amount of changes. Not only do Huntail and Gorebyss lack the shell that held Clamperl in the first place, but only Gorebyss bears any resemblance<\/a> to the “pearl” itself, sharing its pink coloration. Otherwise, Clamperl looks more like a Shellder knock-off than a pre-evolution to these two.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Remoraid Into Octillery<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Remoraid’s evolution is quite possibly one of the most egregious in all of Pok\u00e9mon.<\/em> When it hits level 25, this small fish becomes… an octopus? Remoraid’s affinity for projectile attacks makes it similar to an archerfish, and its design plays off of firearms like pistols. Similarly, Octillery follows the militant theming with its loose tank inspirations. Even there, though, the shared lineage is too much of a stretch. Not even a middle-stage evolution could possibly connect these two Water-types to one another.<\/p>\n
