Some say Eviolite is the reason Cross-gen evolutions are scrapped in favor for Mega Evolutions (Eevee being the exception). Eviolite raises both defenses by 50% and can make some Pokemon very beefy.
But why do they see this item as an issue? There are plenty of moves that remove held items, Knock Off being the most well known. And if that Pokemon has boosted its stats just use a phazing attack to remove them.
If Eviolite is such a big deal, why not remove it from future games problem solved right? Unfortunately GF has a throbbing boner for 'continuity' and is the reason we have Incense and evolutionary held items.
I don't know where I'm going with this.. Do you have a problem with Eviolite? Do you believe this item is the reason we no longer have Cross-gen evolutions?
