What determines when the Pokemon of phone trainers (guys who call you for rematches) evolve? I recall that Hiker Anthony (Route 33)'s Machoke sometimes becomes a Machamp... but I don't know how that happens. Does anyone know?
It's after a set number of battles. However, the number of fights changes is different with each trainer, and there's no collection on the internet of such fights...
