Pokemon's weirdest evolutions

Most evolution lines make some sense, even if you need to squint your eyes a bit. Rock becomes another rock, becomes yet another rock. That logic is without flaw no doubt

But then there are the ones like this?

Or more subtle like this
Cotton ball → rabbit (but same color scheme so it checks out?)

What’s your favorite crackpot evolution line?

I know there’s legends from different cultures that explains these evolutions but naturally it’s a bit confusing.

Pokemon evolutions are relatively tame, all things considered

We can pretend all of gen 4 does not exist for this exercise

Although I like these designs, Pokemon that have hands, evolving into something without hands leaves me with a weird feeling

It’s really not that weird compared to many others… but was reminded of pikipek → toucannon given the ongoing Regional Bird Base Form Fight - 2 (vote to eliminate one) - #14 by ascendedbidoof poll. It bothers me that we go from a woodpecker to a toucan :expressionless_face:

I feel the same way about Pidove and the Pheasant. Gross.

The og remoraid line makes more sense

Also adding the pawmi line, the weird part being why it exists

I might catch some heat for this one:

And it’s mainly because of how the evolution is explained. Shellder biting a Slowpoke’s tail/head. It doesn’t look anything like a Shellder or any other known Pokemon though… maybe I’m the actual slowpoke but I think it’s weird and I don’t get it.

(Just wanna stress I love them all despite thinking the evo line is weird)
