this is ashley with watch
mojo and today we're counting down our
picks for the top 10 pokemon evolutions
that don't fit
[Music]
for this list we'll be going over the
pokemon whose appearances don't match
with some
or all of the other members of its
evolutionary line
which final form left you baffled let us
know in the comments
and as always you can catch me on
twitter ashjaebow
so head over there give me a follow and
let me know which pokemon list you want
to see next
number 10 huntail and gorbis both
watertight pokemon
both serpentine fish however they have a
lot more in common than that
as they're some of the few pokemon to be
part of a divergent evolution line
in other words they evolve from the same
pokemon aside from body shape
they don't really resemble each other
but they're positively identical
compared to their pre-evolution clan
pearl
whereas huntail and gourabis are
fish-like clam bill
is an oyster or a clam sure each of them
evolves by being traded holding a
different item
but even by the internal logic of the
franchise this
is pretty bizarre
it is it's time
[Music]
number nine solgaleo the sun and moon
games introduced
another divergent evolution line with
both its mascots evolving
from the same pokemon the first two
stages cosmog and cosmo
have a starry cloud theme to them but
when their evolution splits
that's when things get weird you didn't
get hurt you're okay right
[Music]
although moon's lunala retains its
pre-evolution's
blue star-studded color scheme son
solgaleo
largely abandons it
[Music]
while part of its face has its look its
huge
white lion-like body looks nothing like
anything from the rest of the line
when it comes to comparing solgaleo with
its relatives
the differences are night and day wink
wink
number eight sharpedo sharpido is a cool
pokemon
a shark crossed with a torpedo that's
just awesome
but comparing it to carvana the pokemon
it evolves from
we're left with a few questions
although is based on a fish too
it's a piranha which is a fresh water
fish
while most sharks are found in salt
water their blue coloring and shape
are sort of similar but other than that
the differences
are stark we're guessing the mentality
behind this one
was take a dangerous aquatic predator
and just swap it out for an even bigger
one
yeah should we do something number seven
two cannon an appropriately named
toucan-like pokemon
with a multi-colored striped bill
despite it being a fitting addition to
the alola region it was introduced in
two cannon doesn't fit in with the rest
of its evolution line
although its second form trumpeak can
kind of look like a toucan
if you squint its first form picky pack
is very clearly based on a woodpecker
while we can appreciate what they were
going for with each new evolution
getting a larger beak
it comes at the expense of a bird
pokemon evolving
into a radically different avian
[Music]
number six polytode a lot of pokemon
whose evolutions don't fit
are due to them becoming different
animals entirely but in the case of
polytode
that's the whole point poliwag becomes a
toad
that makes sense i think pollyworld's
evolving
what doesn't track though is how
drastically different polly toad looks
to poliwag and poliwhill and even its
alternate evolution
polywrath all three of the other members
of its family tree have the same colour
scheme
and a characteristic swirl on their
bellies but polly toad is a different
colour entirely
and only has a slight curved mark on it
definitely the unwanted stepchild of the
family
number five venomoth and butterfree here
we have
an unusual case venomoth and butterfree
are two bug type pokemon from the first
generation of games
neither of them much resembles pokemon
they evolve from
however each of them looks like they
evolve from the pokemon
in each other's evolution line
[Music]
venonat is purple has little hands and
antenna just like butterfree
and while less pronounced butterfree's
pre-evolutions caterpie and metabod
have eyes headpieces and thoraxes
that closely resemble venomoths
while never officially confirmed many
have theorized that the two final
evolutions were accidentally swapped
during developments and never fixed
number four superior this grass snake
isn't out of place with its
pre-evolutions
because it doesn't look like them
superior absolutely looks like it could
come from snivy
and sirvine who's that pokemon
superior rather it doesn't fit because
of something it lacks
arms and legs
survive a sirvine
survive while snivy and sirvine have
at least little arms slash hands and
legs
superior is a full-on serpent you could
argue that its evolution sees it become
progressively more snake-like
but still you'd think that having limbs
would only be helpful right
having fewer options to interact with
your environment doesn't seem very
superior
[Music]
number three flygon this whole evolution
line is all kinds of confusing
flygon itself looks like a cross between
a dragonfly and a dragon
that's fair enough yet its two
pre-evolutions
are quite different its first form
trepinch
looks like an orange snapping turtle
then its second form
the brother looks like an antlion
although flygon retains the brava's wing
tail and eye
shape trepinch looks nothing like its
later form
and the real kicker is that none of them
are bug types
a secret weapon he's hidden all this
time sure there are actual dragonflies
called
sand dragons but that still doesn't make
this whole line any less bizarre
[Music]
number two dragonites dragon types are
among the most beloved in all of the
pokemon franchise
so it's a minor miracle they're as loved
as they
are when the first evolution line of
dragons started off so weirdly
drattini is a little blue snake dragon
then it evolves into a slightly bigger
more elegant blue snake dragon
[Music]
[Applause]
with us so far well prepared to get lost
because the final form dragonite is a
big dippy orange dragon with zero bites
it would be somewhat more believable if
it was still blue
we suppose but as it is the only thing
it has in common with dragon air
is the horn on its head gyarados looks
like it evolves from dragonair more than
dragonite does
we still love him though dragonite
is unable to battle before we continue

there's pokemon evolving into different
animals and then there's this
that's great my rubbery really came
through in one
artillery is a red octopus watertight
pokemon
it evolves from remarade which is not
only not
red it's not even an octopus it's a blue
fish
artillery the jet pokemon will
instinctively sneak into rocky hole
apart from both being ocean natives
there's absolutely
nothing connecting these two if you ask
someone who didn't know which pokemon
artillery evolved from to guess which
one it comes from
they probably couldn't do it to save
their lives most of our other entries
have some kind of visual commonality
or they're at least in the same animal
phylum but there is just
nothing here go in and see all your
friends up hillary
go on do you agree with our pigs
