We’ll discuss different evolution methods present in the Pokémon games. While most Pokémon evolve by simply leveling up to a predetermined level, others have unique methods that are unknown unless you do the research to look them up yourself. This panel will talk about those methods and their implications in a real-world context. We’ll also look at how some of the evolution methods vary between mainline games and other media like the anime and spinoff games. A segment will be dedicated to the Pokémon that should probably evolve in less conventional ways but still evolve by leveling up for some reason.
