Is this legitimately the worst evolution method? Can you even invent a worse one? Let alone name it?

Nobody is expected to figure it out without outside help. This isn't 1998 anymore. It's 2025, 2019 for when SwSh released. It's the information age, and everyone is connected across the internet. Secrets are made to be discovered, deciphered, and shared.

Legitimately would love if every pokemon in the next gen had a wild evolution method. It's cool to stumble upon crazy things like this and would make discussion more interesting as people accidently stumble onto evolutions. We'd share information about circumstances surrounding it and try to narrow down the exact requirements.

That's what Digimon World 1 was like back in the day. >>57194576

If you're intended to just look it up online anyway and know the answer instantly, what's the point of having these complex evolution methods in the first place? Busywork?

Thats why you gotta have a lot of evolutions with a lot of wild requirements. Just real retarded Mew under the truck levels shit. There will be so much bullshit and confusion that misinformation will make up the difference. Make it so that when somebody says some stupid shit online no matter how crazy that people will believe it because of how fucked up the evolution requirments are.

Bulbapedia is a community-driven Pokemon encyclopedia. It's not official, no TPCI or Gamefreak employee fills out its pages. It's effectively a massive, extensive Pokedex, and uncovering the information to fill it out IS the community engagement that lets others down the road just look up what they need.

You don't understand. You can't just use rain dance. It specifically must be on-the-field effect, which usually is randomized and happens only on few specific maps. You need to get your Sligoo to level 49, trackback to place where it can rain, wait for rain and then level up.
Arguably it's not that bad but still it's annoying.

Dogshitree evolves into Bullshitree at level 40 while holding an Ether at night, but only if he knows quick attack, tackle, razor wind, and odor sleuth in that exact order, and if you've ever used the move deleter or relearner it automatically fails.
Note: Dogshitree evolves into Dogshitcurb at level 29, so you will need to hit B for 11 levels

unless you plan on playing online because some jackass thought that a mon with Aegislash's typing, 87/95/91 defenses, 133 special attack, an ability that negates ALL status moves targeted at it, and a 120bp STAB move would be something completely fair and balanced to put into a game with official and unofficial competitive formats
so as it turns out, when you're trying to win a battle against another player with access to virtually everything in the sandbox, you're gonna want the most busted mons you can get access to

It's not hard to figure out but it's a huge pain in the ass to actually do. If you know how to get Runerigus you can do it in no time, if you ever want a Gholdengo you have do a fucking scavenger hunt all over the entire map and even if you hit every single tower one loop probably won't be enough. Grinding move evos in PLA or grinding Pokéblocks for Feebas was less tedious than this.
It's also the ONLY way to get a Gholdengo, unlike almost every other evolved Pokémon in Paldea (even the other ones with meme evolutions like Palafin) you can't find it in Raids.

Wurmple's evolution if either Beautifly or Dustox was good for anything past Brawly. No control absolutely sucks and would be worse if either of them were actually good. Fun fact: apart from dex number (which allows you to use both on the same competitive team), Cascoon and Silcoon themselves are 100% the same pokemon.
