when to evolve your Pokemon

Yamato-san

I own the 5th gen
OK, if anyone's a completionist, no doubt they wanna get all the Pokemon, and all the moves available on Gulpin's relearning list, correct? Or maybe you're someone who just wants to know what moves you'll miss out on by evolving too early? Well, for such people, I have composed a list of what level you should evolve your Pokemon at in order for them to know all of the moves their previous evolution could learn, so you can save the trouble of checking this stuff out on the Spin-off Dex. The list will include the evolution in question, the level you should evolve it, and what moves can't be learned by the evolved Pokemon. Do note that any moves with an asterik * are pretty much going on the evolution automatically (because you can't recruit the evo in the wild and the evo learns a move before it's able to evolve anyway... or, according to Gamefaqs, the evo can be recruited, but it's only in a Level 1 dungeon, and with a ridiculously low recruit rate that's pretty much impossible to recruit without being at a high level). However, I'm listing them anyway, so that anyone using a cheat device can be warey about just sticking an evolved Pokemon onto their team.
