In thePokmonseries, the final evolution is supposed to be... the one. You know, the most famous of any evolution line, the favorite. Whose favorite Pokmon is Charmeleon? It's just an elderly Charmander. However, there are some fully evolved Pokmon that just don't really stack up to the rest of its evolutionary line. Today, we're going to be taking a look at five of those Pokmon. We're also going to be looking at... you know, the just evolve them types. Let's get into it.

Look at this birb. How could you ever make him grow? It's unacceptable. While Decidueye is cool... that's no justification. Rowlet is cool, confident, elegant, classy, empowering, every positive adjective in the book. Evolving Rowlet is basically just choosing to be a horrible trainer. There's no reason to do it. Besides, who wants to deal with Dartrix before even getting to Decidueye? Rowlet may not have the best stats, but just absurdly over-level him and that isn't an issue at all.
And then on the opposite end of fantastic starter Pokmon, we have Froakie. Froakie really isn't that great on his own... he looks... dumb. He's basically just begging for an evolution. Of course, he ends up as Greninja, who, despite an alarming amount of tongue, has a really neat design. Froakie isn't doing anything special at all, while Greninja is just out here killing it. If you find yourself introduced as aSmash Bros.character, you're certainly doing something right. Greninja is one you need to evolve into.
After you evolve Treecko, you find yourself with a Grovyle. Stop there. Grovyle has an absolutely amazing design, and is far superior to its evolution, Sceptile. Of course, Grovyle rose to prominence as its own Pokmon with its inclusion in thePokmon Mystery Dungeonseries. Grovyle is one of the few middle evolution Pokmon that is actually good, so maybe stick with it over the largely eh design we get with its evolution into Sceptile. Just look at this little icon. That high pony... Ariana Grande who? We only stan Grovyle in this house.

You know who's a pretty cool dude? Staryu. You know who the coolest dude on the block is? Starmie. Starmie is literally just Staryu but a lil bit more everywhere it counts. It's got the same design with a few amped up features and a better color scheme. It still has that horribly offputting anime voice, so that's a bonus. Besides the design, Starmie is an absolute UNIT, still hanging on as a great part of the UU metagame seven Generations in. If you're choosing to use Staryu over Starmie (or both at the same time, which Misty did for no explicable reason), then you're really missing out on a fantastic evolution.
Bidoof looks like a great time, someone you go to hang out with when you see them at a party. Bibarel looks like someone that you cross the street to get away from when you see them. Bidoof has everything that Bibarel has, and so much more. There's really no reason to take Bibarel over Bidoof, considering how much you lose in the process of evolution. Look at that little face. Who couldn't love it? Bibarel better be the box legendary for theDiamond and Pearlremakes. Both box legendaries.
Sure, Flabb is cute, but it isn't a Pokmon that you're going to be sticking with. What you're going to want to do here is to evolve your Flabb into a Floette. That's a winner right there. However, that's where you're going to want to stop. Floette has everything it needs, and evolving into Florges is not part of the plan here. Just atrocious. Now, if we could get Eternal Flower Floette finally realised at any point... that's a good one. But until then, stick with your favorite color of Floette, not Flabb or Florges.

Wigglytuff certainly has its own merits, let's get that clear. It is an absolute STAR in theMystery Dungeonseries. However, it really suffered a major loss, having its pre-evolved form being Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff is a singer, model and fighter, a triple threat. Wigglytuff does all of that too, but at like a B level. Wigglytuff is, sadly, just a downgrade from Jigglypuff in just about every way. While it isn't a total loss to evolve your Jigglypuff, there's simply no reason to do so. It's basically Raichu.
Salandit is really just another case of needing an evolution badly. Salazzle is a beautifully designed Pokmon, and its pre-evolution is nothing short of boring. Unfortunately, some - no - most Salandits don't have the ability to evolve, as only females can. As Salandit is a 75% male Pokmon... well. Good luck. Better yet, try shiny hunting this thing. An absolute NIGHTMARE. So many Salandits are just born for subpar-ness. What a shame.
Psyduck is another Pokmon that shows up its evolution in just about every way imaginable. Of course, this is mainly due to Misty's Psyduck in the anime. It was a water Pokmon that needed floaties to swim, did everything it tried to badly, and was absolutely adorable in just about every way imaginable. With this in mind, it just doesn't seem right to evolve your Psyduck into a Golduck. How could you ever do such a thing? It isn't right.
Of course, Eevee is one that you're always going to want to evolve, as that is its entire hook. Eevee has the ability to evolve into eight different Pokmon as of now. There's one for just about everyone, and it is likely that we'll see more in the coming years. Eevee can fit just about any archetype it needs with its various evolutions, so it's plain to see that you're not going to be keeping this one in its base form for long. Just don't evolve it into Flareon. The worst of them all by FAR.
