ITT we post novel/gimmicky ideas for evolutionary methods
For instance
>pokemon A evolves by shedding it's skin
>pokemon A is holding shed skin post evolution
>giving said shed skin to pokemon B allows it to to evolve into a different pokemon than it would otherwise
That's mechanically, lore wise pokemon A's skin is haunted and the ghost possesses pokemon B making it part ghost in addition to its original type
