Battle data
Conditional evolutions can require additional game-specific prerequisites beyond the displayed method.
| Method | Location | Level | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fishing (rare) | Route 42 | Old Rod: Lv. 10 · Good Rod: Lv. 20–40 · Super Rod: Lv. 20–40 | Source-indexed, not individually verified |
| Grass (rare) | Slowpoke Well B1f | Lv. 5–8 | Source-indexed, not individually verified |
| Surfing (rare) | Route 24 | Lv. 5–10 | Source-indexed, not individually verified |
Rare grass and Surfing encounters inherit the first native slot's level range. Supplemental fishing follows each rod's native slots. These ranges exclude Lure effects and randomizer replacements; eligibility restrictions still apply.
Data source: configured Grand Anthology Gen 1–9 species, forms and abilities. The website uses frame-cropped copies of the game's existing Pokémon sprites, which remain franchise/artist-owned assets. Some alternate forms use labeled default-form artwork when their individual sprite is unavailable. See acknowledgments for credits.
