Required Evolutions

This is a supplementary datasheet to the main guide to filling out a National Pokédex for Pokémon Platinum. This page contains a table of Pokémon that can only be obtained via evolving another one.

The data on this page is sourced from Bulbapedia and Veekun. This page has been generated by a script, and as such there may be some inaccuracies / missing Pokémon.

How to read this page

The very left column is the "root" Pokémon in the listed evolution chains. Not necessarily the lowest in the evolution chain, but the highest in the chain that you can obtain without evolution.

The first of the two numbers indicate how many of the root Pokémon you need to get to fill out your National Pokédex, and the second number indicates how many you need for a "Living" Pokédex.

The remaining Pokémon on each row indicate which Pokémon you need to get via evolving the root Pokémon. They're all evolutions directly from the root Pokémon, unless specified otherwise.
