BRAVO GAMEFREAK
also dark type thread
The worst thing about cross-gen evos is they always need some new stupid way to evolve them so it's consistent with previous gens when in reality we wouldn't care if something evolves by level even though it didn't before.
>>25667326
I think it's the idea that people who leveled their Pokemon to 100 can't evolve by level-up once the new evolution arrives. Could be wrong though.
>>25667326
I agree. I just want my baby Kangaskhan to hatch from an egg instead of being an adult with a child right from the start. Wasn't there one evolution that actually could have been possible in a previous gen anyway? Was it Lickitung?

Honestly Sneasel is still strong enough to wreck shit in-game
Nigga what, I evolved mine before post game, you can find a razor claw somewhere
>>25667349
2 actually, Mamoswine and Lickilicky, piloswine could learn ancient power via breeding since gen II and Lickitung could learn rollout with the TM in gen II.
>>25667337
You still need to level it up.
>>25669742
What >>25667337 is saying is that if you train it to lv100 before getting the dex upgrade (i.e., enabling cross-gen evolutions), evolution by level would be impossible. Using hold items and other fuckery bypasses that problem
>>25669783
You still need to level up holding the item
>>25670343
Here's you reply
>>25670362
It isn't a touch item, it is a hold item. At night, when you level up. Just like gligar
>>25667311
Sounds like HGSS.
>>25667311
Same as Sinnoh then
And better than Johto where you can only catch it post-game
>>25667311
>Toxicroak,Tropius and Tyranitar are in BW2 regional pokedex
>Cant catch them till post game
>>25667349
Because, Gamefreak haven't introduced a pre-evolution Kangaskhan yet.
Weavile is my favorite Pokemon but I've never even used one in single player because I don't wanna waste a super-rare item on a Sneasel with shit stats

This.
Best shouldermon
>>25667311
Yes you can.
>>25670397
>Sinnoh
You can get the Razor Claw in Victory Road in DP, and in the Galactic HQ in Platinum.
>>25670959
Okay, tell me where to get a Razor Claw before finishing the game in XY. Trading doesn't count.
Sneasel is pretty good for progressing the games themselves.

You can get one from those terrible Pokemiles games online. So technically it can be done. Not very conveniently, but...
