No more trade evolutions

No.42291346 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Trade evolutions have got to be one of the most unnecessary and annoying evolutions methods ever. All of the Pokémon that evolve by trade with a held item should just evolve by holding said item and leveling up instead of trading. For the rest that don't evolve with a held item this is what I'd do...

Alakazam
>Lv. Up Kadabra holding a Twisted Spoon
Machamp
>Lv. Up Machoke holding a Black Belt
Golem
>Lv. Up Graveler holding a Hard Stone
Alolan Golem
>Lv. Up Alolan Graveler holding a Magnet
Gengar
>Lv. Up Haunter holding a Spell Tag
Gigalith
>Lv. Up Boldore holding a Heat Rock in the harsh sunlight
Conkeldurr
>Lv. Up Gurdurr holding a Damp Rock in the rain
Trevenant
>Lv. Up knowing Forest's Curse
Gourgeist
>Lv. Up knowing Trick-or-Treat

Escavalier and Accelgor are a bit different though so this is what I came up with...

Escavalier
>Have Karrablast defeat a Shelmet
Accelgor
>Have Shelmet be defeated by a Karrablast

Last there's Slowking which I'd change completely from the rest of the hold item and evolutions. Here's what I got...

Slowking
>Lv. Up Slowpoke holding a King's Rock while you have a Shellder in your party

As a bonus I'll add Slowbro too...

Slowbro
>Lv. Up Slowpoke while you have a Shellder in your party

The Shellder in both these evolutions would obviously no longer be your party once Slowpoke evolves.

What do you guys think?
