Do you anons like it when a Pokemon changes playstyle as it evolves, or do you like it better when and evolution is a stronger version of the previous form?

Play style change is much more interesting so I'll go with that. Kind of frustrating for single player when it's Larvesta into Volcarona or Zweilous into Hydreigon but nothing too bad.

Little changes can work if the move pool suppirts it, but randomly switching which attack stat is higher or something would hurt a lot in the single-player mode when youprobably chose moves based on the pre-evo's stats.

I prefer something like Porygon2 and Porygon Z where both do something different and are both viable (relatively speaking)

I would like it if they had split evolutions where they kept the original stat spread

some are okay, like wingull to pelipper and porygon2 to porygon-z
some are awful. i think charjabug to vikavolt is the worst.

I liked it less when I was younger and less experienced. Sometimes it felt like being cheated if they are rather hard to evolve, like in the case of magmar to magmortar.
Now I appreciate nuance of a pokemon that changes its playstyle when it evolves. It adds more depth to training and just adds extra variety in general.

Post more examples.
Preferably obscure ones, we don't need to talk about Incineroar or Vikavolt for the millionth time.

I like when they change playstyles. I like what they did with Galarian Corsola and Cursola. I haven't played competitive in years but I feel they're both viable.

Larvesta -> Volcarona is pretty annoying, considering that Larvesta is PhysAttack based, while Volcarona is definitely more SpA based.

Also the fact that Larvesta evolves into Volcarona at LEVEL 59.
Seriously, the first time I played white I thought my Larvesta just wasn't going to evolve.

It's a neat idea, but most NFE mons are shit even if the evolved mon is a sidegrade.
Some cases like Porygon2 work, but even then, it needs Eviolite to function.

They are both really bad, corsola is better because of eviolite + decent support moves

I like it but only if there is any real merit to keeping the NFE, which usually isn't true.

Clefariy-Clefable and G-Mr. Mime-Mr. Rime are the ones that come to mind, but as others have mentioned Eviolite is pretty much required.

Hello again. It's me: The Bane of Your Existence. Thanks for keeping a NFE shitmon for physical fights on your team during your playthrough. My exclusive ability wasn't much help either. Well, now that you're at one of the last areas I'm going to evolve now and have worse physical stats. Don't worry. I'll be taking my exclusive ability with me so I can become immune to neutral damage.

I hate it. The only reason it's good with Pelipper is because it's such a good rain setter.

You find eviolite early on and this guy is pretty good, in fat it felt more useful than Vilkavolt itself
