>>12357190Strongly, STRONGLY hinted, yes, but I never trust GameFreak. There could always be Audino or something in that empty Pokedex space. I highly doubt it though, the spacing of the registered earlymons in that dex image all but confirms him being a 3-stage family, which is good news for the stat total he'll have to work with, since it won't be limited to being acceptable for a lvl-20something evolution like poor Swellow was.
>>12357239Also agree with this.
