Pokemon that change form dramatically when evolving

[Mahou Tsukai]

There are pokemon that evolve into forms that are totally indistinguishable from their form before evolution. How many are there?

Here are some that I can remember:

Caterpie --> Metapod --> Butterfree
Kakuna --> Cocoon --> Beedrill
Magicarp --> Gyarados
Remoraid --> Octillery

 

[Aether★]

Futachimaru -> Daikenki (what? This evolution dramatically changes the Pokemon's appearance)
Poliwhirl -> Politoed

 

[Tox]

*bulbagarden.net image removed* → *bulbagarden.net image removed*
Snorunt to Glalie (in my opinion)

*bulbagarden.net image removed* → *bulbagarden.net image removed*
Clamperl to Huntail

*bulbagarden.net image removed* → *bulbagarden.net image removed*
Clamperl to Gorebyss

*bulbagarden.net image removed* → *bulbagarden.net image removed*
Feebas to Milotic

These are the main ones that spring to mind that haven't been mentioned. I guess you could also include the Wurmple evolutionary chain.

 

[PlatinumDude]

Feebas evolving into Milotic is another drastic change.

 

[King Of The Blues]

Venonat - Venomoth.
Combee - Vespiquen.

In my opinion Venonat has quite a dramatic change of form when it evolves into Venomoth

Another Pokemon with a dramatic change of form when it evolves is Combee evolving to Vespiquen

 

[CliveKoopa]

Exeggute > Exxecgutor

Wartortle > Blastoise

Seedot > Nuzleaf > Shiftry

Sunkern > Sunflora

Gloom > Bellosom

Slakoth > Vigoroth > Slaking

 

[TheFuturePokemon]

Here are some more.

Magikarp -> Gyarados

Tyrogue -> Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan/Hitmontop

Larvitar -> Pupitar

Spoink -> Grumpig
and otherss

 

[King Of The Blues]

One popular one that hasn't been mentioned.

What about the Eeveelutions. They do change quite a bit and their type changes so I think it's a valid candidate for a Pokemon that changes dramatically.

Eevee - Vaporeon.
Eevee - Jolteon.
Eevee - Flareon.
Eevee - Espeon.
Eevee - Umbreon.
Eevee - Leafeon.
Eevee - Glaceon.

 

[NamelessGuy]

Roggenrola ----> Boldore

Dewott ----> Samurott

Magneton ----> Magnezone

Nosepass ----> Probopass

Gloom ----> Bellossom

Venipede ----> Whirlipede ----> Scolipede

Ducklett ----> Swanna

 

[Kirbychu]

Yeah, sending this to Pokemon general.

 

[Subsuck]

Dragonair to Dragonite

---->

 

[Pikachu Live On Stage!]

All of the starters final evolutions

Magicarp/Gyarados
Feebas/Milotic
Magmar/Magmortar
Spearow/Fearow

 

[King Of The Blues]

Pupitar - Tyranitar.

Pineco - Forretress.

Tynamo - Eeletrik.

 

[Nihilego]

I'd also say Shelgon - Salamence, as well as all of the 'butterfly' evolutions.

 

[Aura Rift]

Feebas - Milotic
but another one is Burmy-Mothim big change there

 

[mikey]

The fishes:

Feebas to Milotic
and
Magikarp to Gyrados.

 

[King Of The Blues]

Goldeen - Seaking.

Carvanha - Sharpedo.

Kabuto - Kabutops.

 

[Rionix]

I can only think of Haxorus at the moment. Well I can say too that Cubchoo -> Beartic seems to fit this description well too.

 

[JERIICHO]

i would say
Trapinch-Vibrava-Flygon
trapinch isn't even dragon type and vibrava's stats are low for a dragon type

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

Apart from the ones already mentioned, Frillish and Jellicent looks remarkably different - especially their heads. Frillish looks kinda graceful, almost; Jellicent, on the other hand, looks like someone with a nut allergy who's just ingested a box of cashew nuts!
