Since Gen 1, the Pokémon franchise has gotten increasingly bigger, the original 150 growing ever-greater with each new generation. While these are often original characters, several were added as new members to existing evolutionary families, like the addition of Pichu to the Pikachu family. Gen IV continued this trend by adding another 11 Pokémon connected to the original 150.
These new Pokémon consist of new Baby-Pokémon like Mime Jr. as well as third-tier evolutions for Magnemite and Rhidon. In addition, Eevee gets two more forms consisting of Grass and Ice type. While Gen I has been enhanced with new forms in the last couple of years, there haven’t been major roster additions since Gen IV’s Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
11 Magnemite Finally Enters The Magnezone
Magnezone is the third and final evolution for Magnemite and Magneton from Gen I. It can only reach this form when it is either leveled up within a special magnetic field or when exposed to a Thunder Stone. While Magneton resembles three connected Magnemites, Magnezone appears to have fused the three parts, resembling a UFO. Magnezone made his anime debut in Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior as Zero’s main Pokémon.
10 Lickitung’s Tongue Got Even Longer In Gen IV
Generation One’s Lickitung was always a bizarre Pokémon with its main attribute being its 6-feet 6-inch long tongue. But in Gen IV, Lickitung got an evolution in the form of Lickilicky whose tongue can reach up to 82 feet long. Lickitung can only achieve this evolved form when it levels up while it knows the move “Rollout” a.k.a. TM04.
9 Rhyhorn And Rhydon Gain A Superior Evolution
Similar to Magnezone, Rhyperoir is the third evolutionary form of Gen One’s Rhyhorn and Rhydon. Rhyperior is a Ground/Rock-type Pokémon and, like Rhydon, resembles a bipedal rhino but with 2 horns and wearing armor made from rocks.
Rhyperior is one of four Drill-type Pokémon including his proceeding form, Rhydon, Nidoking, and Nidoqueen.
8 Happiny Is The Newest Baby Pokémon
Nurse Joy’s partner Pokémon Chansey has gained two evolutionary forms since the first generation. In Gen II, Chansey’s second evolution Blissey was introduced, and Gen IV introduced its baby form, Happiny. Like its two other forms, Happiny holds an egg and evolves when leveling up while holding an Oval Stone.
7 Tangela’s Vines Grow Into Its Final Form
Tangrowth and its prior form Tangela have black bodies wrapped in vines that it uses to attack enemies. In the anime, Tangrowth is portrayed as a protector of the forest and the Pokémon that live there. Tangela evolves to Tangrowth when it levels up while knowing the move Ancient Power.
6 Mr. Mime Adds A Junior To The Family
Mr. Mime played a somewhat regular role in the original Pokémon series as a helper to Ash’s mom, Delia Ketchum. While the pantomime Pokémon is a bit weird, its humanoid features made it a good friend to Ash’s single mother.
While many Gen I Pokémon gained a baby form in Gen II, Mr. Mime’s didn’t come until Gen IV with the introduction of Mime. Jr. Mime Jr. is depicted as a small pink creature resembling a clown with a hat. Like his evolutionary counterpart, Mime Jr. also has a prominent role in the anime series as one of the Pokémon partnered with Team Rocket member James.
5 Electibuzz’s Final Form Is Electric
Just like Chansey, Electabuzz’s evolutionary line was added to in both Gen II with its baby form, Elekid, and Gen IV with its final form, Electivire. The Electric-type Pokémon can only evolve when traded while holding an Electirizer. Its name combines the words “electric” and “wire” which refers to both its type and cord-like tails.
4 Magmar Introduces Its Fiery New Evolution
Magmar has always been associated with Electabuzz as both possess a strong elemental power and have introduced similar evolution forms throughout the franchise. Similar to Elekid and Electivire, Magmar gained its baby-form, Magby in Gen II, and in Gen IV introduced its final form in Magmortar.
3 Eevee Gains Three New Evolutions
Eevee from the first generation has continued to grow in popularity and thus has continued to gain even more evolutionary forms from its original three. While two were introduced in Gen II, Gen IV saw another two added totaling the number of “Eeveelutions” to 7 before Sylveon was introduced in Gen VI.
Like its other forms, Gen IV sees Eevee evolve into a different Pokémon type becoming the Grass-type Leafeon and the Ice-type Glaceon.
2 Porygon Gets One Final Upgrade
The geometric bird-like Pokémon Porygon from Gen I received an upgrade in Gen II in the form of Porygon2. Unlike other Pokémon that seem to evolve naturally, it’s explained that Porygon is actually a man-made Pokémon using the latest technology and its newer forms are more of a software update than an evolution. With that in mind, Porygon-Z’s disconnected and misshapen body is reflective of a virus that infected the previous Porygon2. While Porygon becomes Porygon2 by being traded while holding an Upgrade, Porygon2 can only become Porygon-Z when traded while holding the corrupted program known as a Dubious Disc.
1 Snorlax Was A Hungry Baby
While the large Pokémon Snorlax is known for sleeping, its baby form is known for eating, hence its name, Munchlax. Munchlax resembles a smaller Snorlax and is only able to evolve when it’s leveled up with a high friendship percentage. Munchlax weighs in at 231.5 lbs making it the heaviest baby Pokémon in the franchise.
