>>18666812Actually I just thought of a creative way to give farfetch'd an evolution.
Here me out guys. Game freak has already made pokemon that evolves when they learn a certain move (ex. Mime Jr. into Mr. Mime once it learns mimic). What if a pokemon evolves when it gets a certain ability.
Say in gen 7 they add an item that can be used in battle just like a potion or one of those temporary stat boosters no one uses. But it gives the pokemon you are using the ability of the opponent until the end of the battle. For certain pokemon like farfetch'd they would evolve when it gets the right ability (sniper in this case) and gets to keep the new ability permanently. So if you had a farfetch'd and wanted to evolve him you'd just need to find a wild seadra with sniper, use the item and defeat it for farfetch'd to evolve.
The way I see it this would help a lot of pokemon without full evolutionary chains who need a better ability but have all 3 potential ability slots taken up. What do you guys think of this idea?
