Now, some of you may have noticed that when some Pokemon evolve, there are a few strange, unexpected or major changes which affect the evolved Pokemon. Apart from obvious things such as increase in stats, there are some Pokemon who take on completely different types or swap one of their preexisting types for a new one; while others even lose points in certain stats when they evolve.
Several of these are fairly obvious, such as Charmeleon attaining a Flying typing on becoming a Charizard, thanks to the latters dragon-esque characteristics.
However, there are others like Scizor, who loses speed when it evolves from the fast Scyther (although Scizor is still insanely fast in the Anime). I guess this could be explained by the fact that all that steel covering which Scizor received is a tad too weighty for him to remain as fast and so he's gotta slow down a bit in exchange for the defense that his "armour" provides.
Then, there are others like Skorupi who loses his Bug typing for a Dark one when he evolves into Drapion. I can only guess that Drapion's more dark than he's bug.
So, what other changes in stats, typings or general characteristics (like Nincada to Shedinja) have you noticed and how do you explain them?
