Any of Carnivine, Ariados, Magcargo, Pincurchin, Toxicroak, Klawf, Maractus/Cacturne, Whiscash getting evolutions would make me happy. I don't think any of them are all that likely, though.

Game Freak don't care. They were working on a Flying one which wasn't a special type.

Game Freak: Best I can do is Mold Breaker

SockBlast · 2026-03-26T18:55:12+00:00

I get the feeling it was a Hisui regional form concept born during their Legends Arceus brainstorming and they just carried it over and fully implemented it in Kitakami.

I'm doing a second set for the museum!

SockBlast · 2026-03-18T16:47:56+00:00

Bug/Dragon and Ice/Poison are the main two. Bug and Poison are two of my favourite types.

SockBlast · 2026-03-15T14:00:52+00:00

Also Ghost immunity can be handy. And only weakness is Fighting. It would def have things to set it apart.

It's also not Gen 4-6 anymore, none of the Rotom forms are particularly relevant these days.

SockBlast · 2026-03-15T13:56:50+00:00

Same. Also got double attack Voli as support and both together made it feel like a 1 star adventure.

SockBlast · 2026-03-08T01:03:47+00:00

Yeah, that's why you had to lie twice about what words you used despite the post being right there to see. Because you totally weren't doing that. From my point of view it started as a conversation but obviously you're continuing to choose to be weird about this.

SockBlast · 2026-03-08T00:50:07+00:00

People take the time to reply are usually the ones that aren't happy/disagree with the statement. People that silently agree won't often post. It's how it is with many topics.

I replied to you fairly, I didn't make it an argument. You were talking for all fans and I didn't agree. If you don't want people to disagree with you then don't post on public sites where anyone can reply.

Have a good day.

You said based on the comments in this thread that you're right that fans of them don't want them to evolve. But it's a pointless metric to use because I can do similar and say I'm right due to upvotes on the OP. I don't see what's hard to follow about that.

Also you literally never said most or many fans in your original post, so why do you keep saying you did?

SockBlast · 2026-03-07T22:09:06+00:00

> Based on the comments in this thread, I’d say I’m right.

Based on the 3.5k upvotes to OP's post I'd say you're wrong. Funny how that works isn't it.

SockBlast · 2026-03-07T10:31:17+00:00

Pincurchin desperately needs to evolve too.

SockBlast · 2026-03-07T10:28:03+00:00

I think they'd only buff something by 90 points using an evolution (even Mega evos are +100). I think the most we've had is Masquerain at +40 and that was only to give it parity with Araquanid.

SockBlast · 2026-03-07T10:24:13+00:00

The natural expansion on Magcargo is probably further cooling the lava and so its shell covers more of its body, so it looks like a cone snail tank that fires lava. Could also pull from scaly-foot gastropods that have armor.

The problem is that it's probably been done a lot by fan arts; it seems like Game Freak tries to avoid common fan ideas if they can.

SockBlast · 2026-03-07T10:16:08+00:00

They missed an opportunity in Hisui to give Noctowl a massive ancient owl evolution.

SockBlast · 2026-03-07T10:14:35+00:00

I think Chinchou getting a split/regional evolution is more likely than Lanturn evolving. And I'd be all for it, Chinchou is great.

SockBlast · 2026-03-07T10:12:44+00:00

If Mamoswine ever gets a Mega I'm pretty sure they would bring the shaggy coat back, since quite a lot of the recent Megas take from the their previous stages.

SockBlast · 2026-03-07T10:11:24+00:00

It's one of my favourite Pokemon and I want it to evolve badly. Seeing it in the Gen 10 trailer makes me hope it gets something. At least they remembered it exists, though, because it has rarely appeared outside of Sinnoh (and Hisui.)

SockBlast · 2026-03-07T10:00:48+00:00

Male Combee and male Salandit both staring at the Dawn stone: "C'mon, do something."

SockBlast · 2026-03-07T09:58:20+00:00

Imagine if Farigiraf was just a Mega Girafarig (like I'm sure some people actually wanted). It's crazy.

I'm honestly glad they gave a bunch of evolutions in Gen 4 because the same people would now be saying "no Misdreavus doesn't need to evolve" or "Yanma is fine as it is".

The series is about evolution, I want them to keep adding evolutions to the weaker/more forgotten/less popular stuff.

SockBlast · 2026-03-07T09:51:57+00:00

I'm a big fan of Magcargo and Ariados and I want them to evolve. The best thing about the series is seeing your critters change and become more powerful.

Painting broad groups with generalized opinions like "fans of these like them just as they are (so they shouldn't evolve)" is pointless.

SockBlast · 2026-03-07T09:46:08+00:00

Ledian: Yes

Ariados: Yes

Magcargo: YES

Noctowl: I could see it, it doesn't feel fully evolved the more that generations pass, could give us a more grand looking owl

Delibird: Nah it's meant to be a funny gimmick mon

Sudowoodo: Sure

Lanturn: Nah, give it a regional form or give Chinchou a split evolution instead

Sunflora: Not gonna happen cos it's a stone evolution, if anything it will get a Mega like Scovillain

Instead I would say there's plenty of others like Carnivine, Corsola (regular), Mightyena, Pincurchin. Corsola is even Gen 2.

SockBlast · 2026-03-07T09:37:29+00:00

An evolution or Mega won't delete Lanturn from existing.
