For example, we have:
Sandshrew (armadillo) -> Sandslash (porcupine).
Nidoran (mouse with horn) ->... -> Nidoking/Nidoqueen (Kaiju with rhino traits)
As for Wartortle. It is based on the Japanese legend of Minogame, a turtle that lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of seaweed. Explain why Wartortle has a wavy tail, and why the Pokedex entry says it lived to 10,000 years old. Meanwhile, Blastoise does not have such lines despite being a higher evolution of Wartortle. If they kept its old form then it would simply be a Wartortle getting older.
