>pure bug 1st stage becomes pure bug pupa 2nd stage at level 7>2nd stage can either evolve to psuedo 3rd stage at level 50>or can evolve to a stronger than your average bug mon at level 15the branched evo could be themed around a stunted pupa that didn't quite grow to full course or spend enough time pupating - could potentially keep the dragon typing, or have an ability that powers up dragon moves as a hint towards what could be. maybe a certain % of the 2nd stage mons in the wild are holding everstones. an NPC could give you an everstone where you first encounter them to provide a clue, or there's a rock surrounded by the pupa, when you interact with it you get some mystery flavour.
>even standing close to this peculiar stone – i feel a wondrous energy, but it's almost holding me back. why are all the bugmon here? oh! i an everstone fell off the rock into your hands!once every few days it spawns an everstone.
dex flavour could also hint at this
