-In [[Pokemon Vortex]], various Pokemon evolve by many methods.
+In [[Pokémon Vortex]], there are multiple methods in which Pokémon can evolve.
-Evolutions aren't forced and players can choose to evolve or not evolve their Pokemon.
-Players can evolve their Pokemon by clicking on the <span style="color: #000000;">'''+'''</span> icon on their Pokemon's mini card.<br/>
+Unlike the main series of Pokémon games, evolutions aren't automatically triggered upon meeting their evolution requirement and instead, players can choose when to evolve their Pokémon via manually triggering it from their team view or Pokémon storage. ''(Players can evolve their Pokémon by clicking on the '''+''' icon under their Pokémon when in grid view or '''+ Evolve''' when in list view)''
-'''Notes:''' [[Mega Evolution]] and [[Gigantamax]] count as '''permanent''' evolutions in Pokemon Vortex. It is '''not''' possible to revert such evolutions.
-==Evolution Methods==
+'''Note:''' [[Mega Evolution]], [[Gigantamax]], form changes and fusions are '''permanent''' evolutions in Pokémon Vortex. It is '''not''' possible to revert such evolutions.
-Evolution methods of Pokemon are listed down below, each Pokemon evolves in its unique way.
-===Levels===
+=Evolution Methods=
-Most Pokemon require to be higher than a specified level in order to be able to evolve.
+The various evolution methods found in Pokémon Vortex are listed below. Some Pokémon may require multiple methods and not any single one, for example, [[Snorunt]] must be Female '''and''' requires a Dawn Stone to evolve into [[Froslass]].
-These levels could range from '''Level 7''' for a [[Caterpie]] or range as high as '''Level 64''' for a [[Zweilous]]. Each Pokemon which evolves by level must be at that level or higher in order to be able to evolve.
+==Levels==
-===Items===
+The most common evolution requirement is level. When a Pokémon has reaches or passed a certain level, it may evolve, it does not have to be the exact level specified within the [[Pokédex]].
-Certain Pokemon will only evolve when the player has an item which is required to evolve that Pokemon.
+These levels could range from as little as Level 7 for a Pokémon such as [[Caterpie]] or as high as Level 64 for a Pokémon such as [[Zweilous]].
-The evolution stones are examples of this, an [[Eevee]] can only evolve if the player has an evolution stone for it.
+==Items==
-====Multi-Item====
+See [[List of Pokémon That Evolve With Items]].
-Certain Pokemon require ''multiple'' items in order to evolve. For example, [[Meltan]] requires '''50''' or '''400 Meltan Candies''' in order to evolve for normal or special variants, respectively.
-===Split===
+Certain Pokémon will only evolve when the player has an item which is required to evolve that Pokémon.
-There are many Pokemon which can evolve into two or more other Pokemon. The method of evolving for such Pokemon differs based on the Pokemon to be evolved into. For example, [[Charcadet]] can evolve into either [[Armarouge]] or [[Ceruledge]] if <span style="color:#E41D0B;">'''Auspicious Armor'''</span> or <span style="color:#6459A5;">'''Malicious Armor'''</span> was used, respectively.
+A Fire Stone is one example of this where an [[Eevee]] will only be able to evolve into [[Flareon]] if the player has a Fire Stone to use on it.
-===Gender===
-Certain Pokemon will only evolve if they are the specifed genfer required for evolution.<br/>
+All item evolutions are consumed upon use, they cannot be used on multiple Pokémon.
-For example, [[Combee]] will '''only''' evolve into [[Vespiquen]] if the Combee is <span style="color:#FF69B4;">'''female'''</span>.
+===Multi-Item===
-===Time===
+Certain Pokémon require ''multiple'' items in order to evolve. For example, [[Meltan]] requires '''50''' or '''400 Meltan Candies''' in order to evolve for normal or special [[Variant|variants]], respectively.
-Certain Pokemon will only evolve during certain time of the day.<br/>
-For Example, [[Rockruff]] can evolve into <span style="color:#D5BEB3;">'''Midday'''</span>, <span style="color:#E60039;">'''Midnight'''</span> or <span style="color:#E98243;">'''Dusk'''</span> depending on the time of the day
+When a Pokémon uses this evolution method, it is always because evolving Normal variant requires a different amount of the specified evolution item than evolving a special variant.
-===Happiness===
+==Split==
-Certain Pokemon need to have specified amount of <span style="color:#FF69B4;">'''Happiness hearts'''</span> in order to evolve. Please refer to the [[Happiness]] page for more details about the happiness mechanic.
+See [[List of Pokémon That Have Multiple Evolutions]].
-===Fusion===
-Certain Pokemon need to be fused with one another Pokemon in order to evolve into a new form of the Pokemon. Both the Pokemon which are to be fused must be of the same [[variant]] in order to be compatible of fusion.
+There are many Pokémon which can evolve into two or more Pokémon which can be chosen by the player as long as the Pokémon being evolved has met the evolution requirements. If One or less requirements are not met, the evolution screen will specify per evolution what is required for that evolution.
-For example, [[Necrozma]] can be fused with either [[Solgaleo]] or [[Lunala]] to evolve Necrozma into its <span style="color:#EDC24F;">'''Dusk Mane'''</span> and <span style="color:#81C4F6;">'''Dawn Wings'''</span> forms, respectively.<br/>
-It is important to know that the attributes/data such as '''Experience''', '''Original Trainer tag''', '''Happiness''', '''ID''' and '''Obtained: Date''' are all taken from the '''Host''' Pokemon. In Necrozma's case, Necrozma is the host and ''all'' attributes/data of Solgaleo/Lunala will be '''lost''' and Necrozma's attributes/data will be considered.
+The method(s) of evolving such Pokémon differs in each case. For example, [[Charcadet]] can evolve into either [[Armarouge]] or [[Ceruledge]] if Auspicious Armor or Malicious Armor was used, respectively.
-===Sidequests===
+==Gender==
-In order to evolve Pokemon from their normal form into their regional variants, players need to be in that region in the  sidequests.<br/>
+See [[Gender Evolution]].
-It is important to note that this is '''only''' required to evolve Pokemon from normal to regional form of the Pokemon. For example, [[Diglett (Alolan)]] '''can''' evolve into [[Dugtrio (Alolan)]] without being in the Alolan region of the sidequests but to evolve [[Exeggcute]] into [[Exeggutor (Alolan)]] players ''must'' be in the Alolan region of the sidequests.
-===Attack===
+Certain Pokémon will only evolve if they are a specific gender.
-Certain Pokemon must know a specified attack in order to be able to evolve. These Pokemon will '''not''' be able to evolve unless they have this specified attack in their current moveset. For example, [[Rayquaza]] will ''only'' evolve into [[Rayquaza (Mega)]] if it knows Dragon Ascent.
+For example, [[Combee]] will '''only''' evolve into [[Vespiquen]] if the Combee is female.
-===Account===
+==Time==
+See [[List of Pokémon That Evolve Via Time]].
+Certain Pokémon will only evolve during certain time of the day. The time of day specified is relevant to the players real-world time according to their time-zone selected when creating their account.
+For Example, [[Rockruff]] can evolve into [[Lycanroc (Midday)]], [[Lycanroc (Midnight)]] or [[Lycanroc (Dusk)]] depending on the time of the day in the players location.
+==Happiness==
+See [[Happiness]].
+Certain Pokémon need to have specified amount of Happiness hearts in order to evolve.
+==Fusion==
+This evolution method is currently only utilised by [[Necrozma]].
+Necrozma needs to be fused with either [[Solgaleo]] or [[Lunala]] to evolve into [[Necrozma (Dusk Mane)]] or [[Necrozma (Dawn Wings)]], respectively. In addition, the players account must also own one or both of the Key Items; N Solarizer and N Lunarizer which are obtained from the [[Seasonal_Leaderboard#Season_Rewards_Shop|Season Shop]].
+Fusing Necrozma with either Solgaleo or Lunala also requires both Pokémon to be of the same variant. For example, Shiny Necrozma will only fuse with Shiny Solgaleo or Shiny Lunala - mixing variants is not possible.
+Once fused, the evolution Pokémon will adopt all the stats of the original Necrozma such as OT ''(Original Trainer)'', Level, Experience and Happiness. The Solgaleo/Lunala used in the fusion is then discarded similar to releasing a Pokémon and cannot be retrieved.

+==Sidequests==
+In order to evolve Pokémon from their origin-region form into a regional form, players need to be within that region in the [[Sidequests]] as an ''additional'' evolution requirement. ''(Passing the region does not count)''
+It is important to note that this is ''only'' required to evolve Pokémon when the result changes the origin-region form of the Pokémon. For example, [[Diglett (Alolan)]] can ''always'' evolve into [[Dugtrio (Alolan)]] without being in the Alolan region of the Sidequests but to evolve [[Exeggcute]] into [[Exeggutor (Alolan)]] players ''must'' be in the Alolan region of Sidequests.

+==Attack==
+Some Pokemon must know a specified attack in order to be able to evolve. These Pokemon will '''not''' be able to evolve unless they have this specified attack in their current moveset. For example, [[Rayquaza]] will ''only'' evolve into [[Rayquaza (Mega)]] if it knows Dragon Ascent.
