#pokemon evolution

That's a good question! They'll actually tell you :)

There's often a misconception that Pokemon aren't capable of communicating with humans. This is, of course, false. Pokemon are very inteligent and are more than capable of communication, however there can be a lot of obsitcles.

First, most of time there is a language barrier. It's pretty common with isolated wild pokemon to not even know human language.

Second, pokemon need humans to be direct. They can't 'talk' back so they largely rely on physical gestures and "yes and no" type questions to get their point across. This gets easier when said pokemon lives with a human full-time, and most humanoid pokemon can use sign language.

Third, humans are largely unaware of certain customs among wild pokemon. For example, I've found that it's good manners among wild Hatterene to bow as opposed to a vocal greeting. 9 times out of 10 it will definitely save you from an ass beating since not doing so is considered rude.

But also, I think it'd be cool just to know if it could evolve.

yes, we have evidence that diancie is the result of spontaneous, evolution-like mutation in a carbink. but it's not the sort of thing you need to buy an everstone about. from what we can tell, the transformation into a diancie is not a true evolution so much as it is a sort of freak reaction to extremely specific environmental conditions. it's thought that an individual carbink's reaction to extremely high pressure and heat results in its mutation into diancie.

you just need to give it time. three months isn't much at all in the grand scheme of things! mars sounds like he enjoys being with you, and that's what matters.

with friendship evolutions, we generally expect evolution to occur sometimes between the 5 month and 14 month mark in ownership depending on things like age, active training, how much time the trainer can spend with their pokemon during the day, etc. it sometimes happens earlier in eevee (the mayobeast evolved after about three months) but that has to do with their wonky genetics.

Has every other characteristic change expected from a Zweilous. Aside from the extra head. The existing head has lilted to the left, but the second one didn’t grow in. He seems ok? Disoriented maybe. But he’s eating, less than I’d like but he is.

A vet is on the way to see if they can figure stuff out. But it’ll likely take a few days since I live in the middle of nowhere (because I raise large aggressive dragons).

Wanted to ask if you’ve heard of anything like this ever???

it's highly unusual, but sometimes pokemon experience freak mutations during evolution even if they were perfectly healthy previous to evolution. it's an extremely low risk, but it's there nonetheless. given that your deino was healthy enough to undergo evolution, that's what i would assume happened unless a veterinary found otherwise. there's nothing you could do about this- it's just an unfortunate mishap.

failure to properly split off has been documented a few times in polycephalic pokemon. i remember reading a case study about a scovillain whose heads were merged together...it died pretty soon after evolution. i don't think i've ever seen a pokemon where the new head entirely failed to form, though. i'm really not sure what is going to happen to your zweilous, unfortunately. still, even without seeing it, i would expect some pretty catastrophic issues internally. i would be very surprised if your zweilous didn't have some malformed organs or other health issues after evolving. i hope that isn't the case, but i really doubt it isn't.

i've seen some posts about these, and i think they're interesting- but ultimately they're not a good idea. it's not because of them being implanted, though. there are plenty of subdermal devices we use in pokemon care! microchips are inserted under the skin, as are certain types of contraceptive devices.

there's really no way to prevent their evolution. the mushroom growing on a paras slowly takes control of its nervous system as it grows after stealing nutrients from the insect. after a certain point, the mushroom ends up getting into the part of the paras's nervous system that regulates evolutionary hormones. it's possible to temporarily stop the evolution, but the paras will try to evolve again later. if you give the paras an everstone, the mushroom will eventually take over to the point that the paras starves.

it's unlikely that aster's body would make it through evolution. evolution is hard on a pokemon's body, and aster is old enough that her body would almost certainly try to abort the process. even if she were young enough to evolve, you need to consider what's best for her. she's at the point where she's really feeling her age, and she's spent her life with you and her family. aside from the physical stress of evolving, consider how frightening it would be for her to evolve and then immediately get released into an area she doesn't know. she would have to figure out how to survive on her own. without knowing where you live, i can't tell you if you're in an area where a wild ninetales would have a negative impact on the surrounding ecosystem, too.
