>>34135460>Rowlet randomly becoming a Decidueye without hints or even motivation of evolving however makes senseFirst of all there were some few hints, you just ignore it. And to top it off in the data mining, their were new Dex entries for the alola starters and Rowlet got a increasing one that debunks a meme. Read this
Dex entries for pokemon, new entries for old pokemon. And guess what the alola starters also got new ones in fact here's a intrasting one.
>Rowlet: It feels relaxed in tight, dark places and has been known to use its Trainer's pocket or bag as a nest.So Rowlet in the anime is just being a Rowlet. It's not a gag that's exclusive to Ash's Rowlet, every single Rowlet does it.
And like many Rowlets they eventually get out and evolve.
And on top of that, can you remind me the last time any starter pokemon was hinted to evolve before gen 7. Because when I look back they all kinda seem random.
