Twin/New Evo — Pokémon Notes
General Notes
Offense-based Pokémon have higher Attack/Sp. Attack and Speed, but lower defenses. Defense-based Pokémon have higher Defense/Sp. Defense and HP, but lack Attack and Speed. Some Pokémon must evolve at a specific level using a stone to get the best moveset.
New Branch Evolutions
Evolve at level 30 with the appropriate stone. Each branch shares the same stat base, growth rate, and base EXP — making them "twin" Pokémon.
Smoochum — Moon Stone → Mr. Mime · Water Stone → Jynx
Remoraid — Moon Stone → Octillery · Sun Stone → Mantine · Water Stone → Lapras
Geodude — Moon Stone → Graveler · Sun Stone → Golem
