>>50421634There's a thing in early games + the anime where evolving too early prevents a Pokémon from achieving their full potential, and smaller Pokémon are more nimble than their evos even if they have a lower Speed stat.
That's what I was getting at with extra move slots and "Babies always move before non-Babies".
Free Telepathy means that babies never get hit by collateral damage when their allies use attacks like Earthquake, because only villains would let something like that happen. Free Friend Guard means you're fighting harder to protect the cute baby.
