aww crap. Was planning on doing a mudkip, chikorita, and charmander team. Also sorry if this is a dumb question but do pokemon evolve in this game?
Nope, they don't. You need to catch each evolution stage separately. The good news is that most of them have different abilities so there still might be a reason to use them. Ex.: Bulbasaur is weaker than Ivysaur but there might be stages where it makes sense to utilize Bulbasaur's ability a instead of Ivysaur.
