>>47957882Considering that it's based on a big Japanese urban legend I wouldn't be surprised if it got an evo. Somebody correct me if I'm thinking of something else, but Tsuchinoko are so rare that massive bounties were put on their heads irl(even tho it's literally just a snake). Maybe the evo got hunted for it's monetary to the point where only it's pre-evo can exist in the wild? Maybe give it an ability that boosts earnings in battle? That's not even tackling it's typing. Dunsparce and so many other Gen 2 mons deserve this.
