I Evolved EVERY Pikachu Clone

[@FlyingPotatoChickens]

Odenne is my favorite, it’s so cute and the antenna -> satellite dish progression makes sense, it feels like the most natural evolution out of all of these

Honestly, the fact that every Pikachu clone is less popular than Mimikyu is funny.

[@scrunkore]

the fake surpassed the real thing

[@youtube-kit9450]

Well, Mimikyu, aside from also not being dogshit in stats and ability (insert champion Pachirisu here yesyes I know), also is like the only one of them to have an actual personality. People won't mind a sellout concept like "Pikaclone" if the concept is done great.

[@zachthemaniac3284]

Dude Togederashi looks so good. It actually looks like something Ash and his friends would encounter during the anime

[@PaulApollo]

Emolga has always been my favorite Pikachu clone, and seeing them gain an evolution makes me extremely happy!

[@Ditto.007]

Iris's Emolga made me love the mon, her sassy and chill nature was amazing and she was basically a mini Iris which is adorable, loved her slight rivalry with Ash's snivy too

My favorite has to be emolga.

[@AlexWhyte139]

Absolutely love Kumolga. Feels like such a natural evolution whilst also being a fresh spin on Emolga. Would totally want to have one of these guys on my team

[@sagenod440]

I love Morpeckish so much I can see it using Morpeko as minions to battle Honchkrow and Murkrow over food. Anybody else kinda get Tobi Kadachi vibes from the Pachirisu evo?

[@borealmind]

Damn Barisu looks super cool. I'd totally train a Pachirisu if the'd evolve into this beast. The Umbreon aspect of Kumolga is a really creative way to incorporate the Superhero theme. Togederashi is also such a neat design. Reminds me a bit of Sandshrew, a Pokemon I really enjoy. Also the name sound dope.

[@SamRegan610]

Wow these are all really cool! Kumolga and Odenne are honestly flawless. One tweak I would make to Barisu is to make its tail bigger so it more closely resembles a squirrel. Pachirisu's tail was bigger than its body, so having Barisu's tail be much bigger and curl up over its back while keeping the spikiness would really tie the whole design together, and give it a closer connection to Pachirisu aside from just the colors. As it is it doesn't have much of a unique identity. Similarly with Togederashi, maybe tone down the spikes on its back a bit and add some retractable spikes alongside the permanent ones so that it can become more aggressive when needed and more closely resemble Togedemaru

[@thatpachirisuguy5861]

Pachirisu being my favorite pikaclone gave me high expectations for its evo, and the design isn't what i'd imagine a pachirisu evolution to be. But its still pretty good for what it is, and i like the other designs as well

[@Ditto.007]

Name checks out 😂

[@UrLocalTau]

Morpeckish is probably my favorite. I like the split between Morpeko’s Full Belly and Hangry forms incorporated in it!

[@DJCheese77]

That Emolga evolution is the best thing I've ever seen in the history 👌👌👌

[@castform7]

I'm actually a really big fan of Pikachu clones. I don't think there's one I really dislike...well except Plusle (yes, specifically Plusle. Long story). I was a bit surprised by how drastically these guys changed in comparison to the one clone that does evolve but I feel like this is for the better considering while I like Pawmot, the line is probably the most blatant example of "just ____ but bigger" Pokemon has ever done. I really like Emolga's. The hood along with cap and Umbreon pattern are really cool.

[@TheRealRoyalArtworks]

I am very curious as to why you dislike specifically Plusle haha

[@castform7]

​@@TheRealRoyalArtworksKinda late but I assure you, this won't be worth the wait. So I've used Minun twice now in playthroughs of Omega Ruby. It's why I'm one of 20 people who like it way more than Manetric. But I always found the fact I rate Minun so highly weird so I just used Plusle as a comedic punching bag even though without the positive and negative symbols, one would be the shiny of the other. Then as time passed, started to actually believe that Minun was 10 times better than Plusle cause I had memed on it for so long. (not helped by the fact the stupid thing crit one of my Pokemon in a Nuzlocke) which lead to my disdain for it. So yeah it's basically a "live the lie long enough to believe it" story.

[@TheRealRoyalArtworks]

@@castform7 was indeed worth the wait, thank you

[@calmatemia5056]

I really love how Togederashi looks like it could stand as it’s own Pokémon, it fits as an evo, but could be its own thing

[@ge789]

As a fan of Dedenne, I love Odenne’s design, concept behind it, it’s abilities, and it’s signature move. The signature move would especially help for triggering Cheek Pouch a lot earlier.

[@hhjan594]

Man I like all the names you gave them. As someone who actually speaks Japanese, your naming logic really makes sense as a Pikaclone since their names need to make sense in Japanese.

[@HopefullyUnoptimistic]

It feels like morpeko is ripe for a branch evolution. One where aura wheel runs out of uses in a given area and goes dark, and another where aura wheel reaches over-capacity with PP up or PP max therefore overcoming its hunger and gluttony and swaps its dark type for something else perhaps changing aura-wheels function to be that new type while still doing super effective damage to water and flying to make a sort of dual-type move.

[@CoralReaper707]

Considering that Gen 4 introduced quite a lot of cross gen evolutions, I'm surprised Pachirisu didn't get one.

[@albond]

That wouldn't be cross gen though

[@CoralReaper707]

@@albond I should've been more clear. It should have gotten an evolution in a game where many Pokemon got the chance to evolve.

[@Ditto.007]

@@CoralReaper707 True but I guess they wanted to stick with the usual formula of clones not getting evos, gen 9 was the first

These are great! I was a lil sad you didn't include Mimikyu, but that Emogla Evo? I want them on my team fr

[@volzuloof]

Pacharisu is so funny because everyone uses it as an example of winning with your faves but the guy chose him solely because the niche he fit on the team and held no attachment to it

[@WatcherObsi]

Odenne is absolutely my favorite from this batch, it's SO chunky I wanna just squish it! I honestly may do this challenge myself and try to come up with evolutions for Pikaclones. Maybe even make a split evo for Pichu pretending that Pikachu doesn't exist? And maybe even one for our favorite Fake Pikaclone, Mimikyu!

[@dash9641]

I love all of these as Pikaclones are some of my absolute favorite mons! When I saw Pawmi could evolve I instantly fell in love and wished the others evolved too. However I do think more can be done for Morpeko's evolution and giving it a branched evolution! Imagine the way to make Morpeko evolve depends on the form it takes after it runs out of aura wheels. So Hangry Mode or Full Belly mode by the time the battle ends with no PP left on Aura wheel after level 30. One form is this one in the video and the other form is one that's never obsessively hungry again. It could be something interesting for such a unique Pokémon such as Morpeko.

[@robbie5181]

Odenne is fantastic Ron, A triumph in every aspect. 10/10

Love Kumolga! ⚡ This really makes me wish Pokemon would give out more evolutions to their existing ones.

[@tiltalot3759]

Really loved all of these designs! My idea for a possible Morpeko evolution is that when you reach a certain level it evolves depending on its current form so either happy evo or hangry evo

[@matthewmations123]

I LOVE Pachirisu a lot and the evolution you made is pretty cool!

[@ryanolphie2166]

Barisu is growing on me despite my initial thoughts, but I have an issue with butt and tail region. While I think the tail should be longer, I think the bigger issue is that it almost looks like the tail is coming out of the body further up the back then it should. I'm sure most of that has to do with the angle of the pose, but I still thing you could make some tinny adjustments to fix that Kumolga is my favorite with Odenne coming in at second. Kumolga is a tough looking guy that still manages to look cute. Odenne as a mouse that ate too much feels like a natural progression of Dedenne, and it's eyes show it has no intention of slowing down I think that you make Togederashi have the ability to stand up on it's hind legs like many rodents, but I think the bigger thing is that you should had kept the check marks; I mean you have two yellow spikes where they where and it shouldn't be too much of an issue to have both. I was a little worried when you said this guy was going to be a porcupine, but you managed to make it work (Togedemaru's spines where more retractile anyway) I don't really like Morpeckish, mostly because you took away the hangry gimmick. I think this would work better as a spit evolution, but even then I think it would be better to have an evolution that kept the form change

[@SegaMario]

God, I want this so bad. It'll make them all viable at last and not existing for the sake of being cute with mediocre stats. That Emolga evolution is *GLORIOUS.*

[@AshTwain]

Pachirisu, I would have done Pachikira, the Sparkling Pokemon, A slightly bigger squirrel pokemon with a cute look, but it has a serious personality. Their fur sparkles as a warning and also a beacon to other Pachikira.

[@franciscorosa1498]

But imagine a happy morpeko evolution that looks like a capybara

[@tkfarms7882]

My favorites are the Emolga and Togedemaru evos. Emolga with a hood and cape just works so freaking well, and Togederashi fixes everything I didn't like about Togedemaru and is a strong design in its own right.

[@pining_tree6788]

One aspect to squirrels that I find really neat is how they’re able to survive a fall of theoretically any distance. I think it would be neat if a Pokémon reflected that and the intelligence of some squirrels, like a rock psychic squirrel mon with an ability that’s like levitate but 1) they don’t actually float and 2) things like gravity don’t disable it. Like a Pokémon that’s immune to ground type attacks not by flying over but instead being nimble enough to dodge any real damage

[@josephdavis9234]

I like how you kept the names similar, since that's a recurring characteristic in both evolutionary lines of Pikaclones we already have (the -chu in every member of the Pikachu family and the Pawm- in every member of the Pawmi family).

[@zachtrc8831]

Description Idea for 4 Artists, 1 Description. Not sure if you do suggestions but here it is. Description: "This pokemon once lived in the PC as a virus until it escaped and was feared by locals when it first appeared, what was unexpected however was that the looks it has was of a Popular Pokemon and wears it as if its Armor, so its true form hasn't been found out yet. Theories suggested that its armor is a convincing disguise of the actual Pokemon, others claim the armor is an actual pokemon from the PC Corrupted by the Virus."

[@luisnorbert1695]

They all look amazing, especially the dedenne and emolga evos. Those two are so good and realistic. The others look great as well and but they do not look like pikaclones as much.

[@KLGB76]

I always loved Emolga and this evolution is looking awesome. I would definitely add it to my team.

[@DukeDarkshadow]

These were all super cool concepts. I'd imagine that if these were actual evolutions, people would be giving the Pika clones a LOT more love rather than seeing them as just throwaway filler Pokemon for the Dex that aren't that useful. I see a few other comments saying that they would have liked to see another evo of Morpeckish and I agree that a split evo would have worked perfectly for Morpeko, getting a permanent good side and a permanent evil side. A split evo line would also be a neat unique gimmick for a Pika clone.

[@Milo-pi7jc]

Wow, Kumolga looks very cool! Personally i like the version where the tail is behind the Cape more, but it still looks good Morpeko should have 2 evolutions, one for winning a battle in Hangry Mode and one for evolving in normal mode

Pachirisu has always been one of my favorite Pika-likes, he's similar but different enough to be his own thing and not really such a direct clone... he's so goddamn cute, and if he had a full evo line, I think I'd chose him over Pikachu every time.
