Category : Pokemon

From Pokémon like Eevee, who require an item to evolve, to Pokémon that don’t evolve like Dunsparce, the Pokémon world is filled to the brim with a variety of evolution methods. One of the most common is level-based evolutions. While some Pokémon might evolve quickly, like Caterpie at level 7, others take time to achieve evolution.

Focusing on Pokémon that stay in their first stage, the following Pokémon are the longest-lasting pre-evolutions of the franchise. As Pokémon fans will notice, most of the entries are from Generations V and VI. At level 59, the highest first stage Pokémon might just surprise Pokémon fans.

10 Golett Survives 43 Levels Before Evolving

The first of several fifth-generation Pokémon to make its way on this list, Golett is a ground and ghost-type. Golett is said to have been made by ancient science, having been crafted by a mysterious civilization long past.

Keeping with their ground typing, Golett has been found to mindlessly line up boulders. Filled with energy that has kept it alive for thousands of years, it can be inferred that the strength to survive that long has led to its high evolution level.

9 Skrelp Hides and Poisons Others Until Level 48

This mock kelp Pokémon was introduced in the Kalos Region games of Generation VI. Skrelp is a poison and water-type sea dragon that purposefully resembles dried kelp due to its poor swimming abilities. By blending in with the kelp around it, it can poison passing by creatures for it to prey on.

Skrelp is noted to not be a fighter in most of its Pokedex entries. Instead, it bides its energy until evolving, which takes a long time at level 48. In the anime, a Skrelp was caught on a fishing hook by Ash, leading it to badly poison Pikachu.

8 Noibat Sounds Off For 48 Levels

Also introduced in Generation VI, Noibat is a cute bat-like creature. Even though it is mammalian in looks, this little monster is actually a dragon-type. Like a real bat, Noibat are known to emit sonic waves that affect their prey to either disorient or damage them.

Their sonic waves come in at 200,000-hertz, which can affect even the strongest fighter. In addition to combat uses, this ability is also used to determine if a fruit is ripened. After evolving at level 48, the sound waves become capable of shattering boulders as the bat dragon becomes increasingly aggressive.

7 Mienfoo Trains For 50 Levels To Receive Fur On Its Claws

Back in Generation V, Mienfoo was introduced as the martial arts Pokémon. Designed to resemble a weasel, this fighting type spends all of its time training to become a better martial artist. It is said to be able to chop its arms 100 times per minute and can cause serious damage with its claws.

Mienfoo are noted to be extremely fast, though that is not reflected in their in-game stats. When they evolve into Mienshao at level 50, they gain an extra layer of fur that covers its arm and is used for fighting.

6 Dreepy Enjoys Being Ammunition For 50 Levels

Recently introduced in the Generation VIII games, Sword & Shield, Dreepy is the first stage of the Galar region’s pseudo legendary. This dragon and ghost-type is one of two pseudo legendary dragons that evolve at a high level.

While Dreepy are not very strong, they make up for their lacking power by being useful tools for their evolutions, Drakloak and Dragapult. Unlike most Pokémon, a Dreepy is present at all of its evolutions and apparently enjoys being used as rockets for Dragapult’s signature move, Dragon Darts.

5 Deino Blindly Bites and Takcles Until Level 50

The other first stage pseudo legendary that evolves at a high level, Deino is a resident of the Generation V games that doesn’t evolve until level 50. Deino seem to live a sad life as they are unable to see, so they test their surroundings by biting and tackling anything they can.

These dark dragons are covered in scars because of this. After evolving to Zweilous, the problem is worsened by the addition of another head that constantly battles the other. The final stage, Hydreigon, adds a third head and becomes a truly violent and destructive force.

4 Pawniard Stays Sharp To Level 52

Continuing the darker backstories of high-evolving dark-types, Pawniard, also known as the sharp blade Pokémon, is covered head to toe in literal blades. These sharp Pokémon will grab onto opponents and sink their bladed bodies into them to ensure the win, often ignoring their injuries.

Able to evolve at level 52, Pawniard becomes Bisharp, a sharper bladed Pokémon that will send its crew of Pawniard after prey, only to sweep in for the final strike. This family is the only dark and steel-type in the franchise.

3 Vullaby Changes Its Bone Diaper Up To Level 54

Although a flying-type, Vullaby’s wings are too small to allow it to achieve flight. These baby birds are nicknamed the diapered Pokémon due to the skull it wears in a diaper-like fashion. These bones don’t grow with them, so they are constantly replacing them with the scrap from Mandibuzz.

Not evolving until level 54, Vullaby are fairly weak, though they tend to target prey that is even weaker. When they do evolve, they become literal vultures, attacking weak prey and dressing themselves up with the bones of their fallen enemies.

2 Rufflet Bravely Fights Its Foes For 54 Levels

The rival to Vullaby, this eaglet is the epitome of bravery, standing up for the weak and fighting back against Pokémon that are stronger than them. Rufflet have been known to challenge their parents soon after hatching to prove their strength.

Using their tough nails, Rufflet can crack open nuts and fruits with little effort. After evolving at level 54, they become the majestic eagle Pokémon known as Braviary. Their personalities do not change, however, as they will battle even after being injured.

1 Larvesta Doesn’t Evolve From Stage One Until Level 59

Fans originally believed this Pokémon (and its evolution) to be mythical due to its rarity. In Pokémon: Black & White and Pokémon: Black 2 & White 2 only one of its evolution, Volcorona, could be found in the Relic Castle late in each game. Larvesta was uncatchable as a wild Pokémon until the Friend Safari of X & Y.

Being a bug-type, this high level comes as a shock as the next latest bug type evolution is Joltik at level 36. This firebug will coat itself in fire to evolve. Larvesta is said to have been born from the sun, even having a nest there.
