With 807 different Pokemon to choose from, it’s unsurprising that some final evolutions rarely make it into a trainer’s party.

Charmander can become a Charizard, Squirtle can become a Blastoise, and Gastly can become a Gengar. But what about those final forms trainers don’t often see? Some evolutions can be more trouble than they’re worth, but those aren’t the Pokémon we’ll be looking at on this list. These are the coolest final Pokémon forms that are overlooked, underappreciated, or sometimes, completely ignored.

Amoonguss

This Pokémon is most notable for being a Team Rocket favorite. James used Amoonguss any chance he got, though it never worked in his favor. Admittedly, Amoonguss isn’t a powerful Pokémon. The Grass and Poison-type’s only desired ability is Effect Spore, which means trainers usually avoid going to the trouble of evolving a Foongus into its final form. Whether or not Amoonguss is strong, though, he’s still pretty unique looking. The mushroom with a Pokéball head and fist makes him a cool and adorable addition to any team.

Raichu

It isn’t particularly hard to evolve a Pikachu — all you need is a Thunderstone and you have yourself a Raichu. Remember that episode of the anime called “Electric Shock Showdown”? Ash and Pikachu go to the Vermillion City Gym where the two face a Raichu. Raichu defeats Pikachu in battle and, as Ash had a Thunderstone, he could have evolved Pikachu into a Raichu if he wanted and his team would have a better chance at defeating his opponent’s.

But Ash refuses to force Pikachu to change just to win a match. Ash and Pikachu defeat the Raichu with hard work and heart, and Ash promises never to make any of his Pokémon change if they don’t want to. This episode has undeniably worked its way into fans’ minds, so you’re more likely to see a high-level Pikachu than an evolved Raichu in any trainer’s team.

Slowbro

This lazy water and psychic Pokémon is considered the least desirable of the two possible Slowpoke final forms. A Slowpoke can either evolve into a Slowbro or a Slowking and they’re about equally as powerful. So, what gives? Slowbro is one of the more bizarre Pokémon designs, after all. Why, for instance, does Slowpoke’s Slowbro evolution come with a Shellder?

The Shellder is seemingly attached to Slowbro’s tail for reasons unspecified. When you look at the information in the Pokédex it says that the Shellder on Slowbro’s tail feeds off its host’s leftovers. There are a few logical flaws with that. What leftovers? Slowbro isn’t known to not finish a meal. It seems like the Shellder host would be better off latching to a different Pokémon.

Despite the strange design, Slowbro is actually pretty tough — both Psychic and Water attacks are potential heavy hitters and its pretty good at taking damage. Still, it seems that Slowking is the fan favorite for the two evolutions.

Gothitelle

Psychic Pokémon are only super-effective against Fighting and Poison, which means that often the ideal Psychic Pokémon has another specialty. The final evolution of Gothita is the much more powerful Gothitelle. Trainers can only take a limited number of Pokémon into battle, and Gothita gets left out frequently because it is primarily Psychic-type and not exceptionally strong.

It takes a while, too, for your Gothita to reach its final form. Firstly, it has to become a Gothorita at Level 32, then around ten levels later, it will take on its strange final form as Gothitelle. If trainers decide to see their Gothita through till the end, it’s worth it, too: Gothita is an exceptional Psychic-type guaranteed to one-shot any Fighting or Poison Pokémon you come up against with its Psybeam. And if that isn’t cool enough, Gothitelle looks like the lead singer of an emo band.

Cloyster

Shellder is a pretty useless Pokémon… until it evolves into one of the most dangerous Ice and Water-type Pokémon out there. Cloyster doesn’t just have a high attack — its defense is through the roof as well. The only reason this final form goes unused so frequently is because you can only evolve a Shellder using a sometimes rarified Water Stone.

And if a trainer finds themselves with this evolutionary item, most want to change their Poliwhirl into a Poliwrath instead. On paper, Cloyster is more powerful than Poliwrath stats-wise. Still, Poliwrath is a sensible choice to use a Water Stone to evolve because it is Fighting and Water, and does incredibly severe damage using either method of attack. In short, Cloyster is amazingly defensive, where Poliwrath is offensive, and offensive makes for more exciting gameplay, which is why poor Cloyster gets short thrift.

Hydreigon

By far the rarest and most powerful on the list, Hydreigon evolves from a Zwelious at the exceptionally high level of 64. Hydreigon is one of the hardest to get simply because of the hours of gameplay it takes to evolve. First trainers will need to get a Deino, which isn’t a bad Pokémon but it isn’t great. Then trainers will have to get that Deino to Level 50 where it will finally evolve into a Zweilous. 14 grueling levels later, and you’ll have yourself a Hydreigon.

When battling, it’s rare to see a Hydreigon used, and when trainers do, it can be a remarkably tricky battle. This Pokémon hits hard and has excellent defense — consider adding one to your team, next time!
