Evolution Changes

General Notes

A number of Pokémon have had their evolution methods modified in Redux.

This is usually either to allow the player to obtain them in a single player setting, make some Pokémon more available, or in some cases to act as a buff or nerf to the Pokémon.

The Link Cable and Ice Stone have also been introduced to the game as evolution items.

  • On top of that, most items that are normally used in trade evolutions have been modified to be able to work the same as an evolution stone.

In most cases, the listed evolution method replaces the Pokémon's original method unless explicitly stated otherwise.

These changes are found in all versions of the game.
