Crazy evolutions

[Seem]

Trapinch-Vibrava-Flygon has never made the most sense to me. Trapinch has a massive head with a big mouth, then evolves into a pretty dragonfly-like animal with a much smaller head and mouth, before then evolving into a large bug-dragon.

Trapinch is supposed to be an Antlion, the lava form of the lacewing which Vibrava resembles. As for Vibrava to Flygon, pass. Think I would have liked it to remain as a part bug type but that could be just me.

I guess through evolution Pokemon change in many ways, including appearance. No one said they had to make sense, haha!

I find it weird that Lickitung, who looks like a wall of muscle with that massive tongue and those huge legs, turns into a big fat ball that looks about as powerful as a piece of cotton.

Dragonair -> Dragonite always made me wonder. Elegant sea serpent evolves into big cute dopey dragon? Oookay...

Same thing with the Trapinch line. I don't even know what trapinch is supposed to be, but I certainly would never expect it to evolve into a dragonfly, THEN into an actual dragon.

In recent gens, I've found the Oshawott line to be odd. Dewott, cute cat-like otter into Samurott, giant shell-armored sea lion? Doesn't really make sense to me, but okay. I feel the same way about Shelmet and Karrablast's evolutions. One looses it's shell, another gains a shell and lances. Just kinda odd to me, but I still like the pokemon.

Don't forget the Vulpix evos seriously I don't get it Vulpix evolves into......... Naruto Reference?

Uhh, Pokemon is older than Naruto. The Kitsune is an ancient Japanese demon/monster/creature/Oni/Yokai/Whatever the correct term is. I won't comment on any of the others becaues I have a feeling I'd be here all day if I did.

No matter what happens, Magikarp/Gyarados and Feebas/Milotic will always be the weirdest evolution I've ever witnessed.

Dragonair > Dragonite makes more sense if you picture it as a bigger orange serpent with legs rather than a generic dragon with a tail.

I feel the same way about Shelmet and Karrablast's evolutions. One looses it's shell, another gains a shell and lances. Just kinda odd to me.

That's the point. Karrablast steals Shelmet's shell during the trade to become Escavalier.

Um... Remoraid > Octilllery.


WTF?

This. Hit the nail right on the head.
And Snorunt>Froslass, Trapinch>Vibrava and Clamperl>Huntail/Gorebyss.

Gliscor may take the same basic form as gligar but really it looks completely different, but I'm not complaining, it's not too different and it looks great, a big improvement from gligar

Slowpoke to Slowking.
For years I thought it was Poke -> Bro -> King

Slowpoke to Slowking.
For years I thought it was Poke -> Bro -> King

Yeah, I did too, to be honest.

 

[Frog Of Steel]

Kabuto to Kabutops because Kabuto is the size of Kabutops' head. I just don't understand the massive change.
Bagon to Shelgon. Baby dragon to ball with legs.

I never understood Spoink to Grumpig. Up until four years ago, I always thought that they weren't related.

Same thing with the Trapinch line. I don't even know what trapinch is supposed to be, but I certainly would never expect it to evolve into a dragonfly, THEN into an actual dragon.

Trapinch sheds its outer-body to become Vibrava, just like Kakuna evolves into Beedrill, etc.

 

[Gelatino95]

Same thing with the Trapinch line. I don't even know what trapinch is supposed to be, but I certainly would never expect it to evolve into a dragonfly, THEN into an actual dragon.

Trapinch is based on the antlion larva. Vibrava and Flygon are the adult forms.

Geodude-Graveler-Golem

This line baffled me in the beginning, and still I'm not sold on it. Geodude starts it off as a floating stone with arms. When he evolves, he obtains legs and another set of arms. Once Golem comes around, two arms disappear, the limbs completely change, and he obtains a stone shell. It's like their relation to each other was forced.
