What if MORE Pokémon Got Branched Evolutions? #2

[@HoopsandHipHop]

What Pokemon would you like to see get a branched evolution someday?

[@8b40ommishra3]

please make starter pokemon of each type

[@ToadetteTails6969]

I'd love to see Terminitar become a thing. Also, I have a couple ideas about its typing and ability. Keep it Rock/Psychic type, but then give it a brand new ability that powers up Dark-Type moves. I'd call it "Antagonism" (from 'antagonist'). Antagonism - ability description: The Pokemon's dark demeanor and twisted villainy powers up its Dark-Type moves. Antagonism would work identically to abilities like Steelworked for Dhelmise and Rocky Payload for Bombirdier, except it's Dark-Type moves instead for Terminitar. Just my idea, though. Sure, it'd have to get rid of Sand Stream, but it'd basically have three types to represent Space Godzilla better. ^w^

[@HobbCap]

Sableye

[@riccardonaccari8151]

I propose a Revavroom based on a dragster

[@angelluisperezplaza6898]

oh that's easy, Jinx. Cause she needs much love that she deserves. I even have a Name for its brance evolution Beaut (The Beauty Pokemon) Fairy/Psychic Type. She's the oppisite of Jinx via Design. She's tall,Beautyful and most importantly somewhat humanish which would sometimes get flirted on by Humans and stuff.

[@ES-dp6tw]

I should say I did have a muse on Remoraid carrying on weapon references with a branched evolution where, as opposed as an octopus that evokes tanks, it becomes a ray that evokes bomber planes.

[@Texansfan59]

The akoraid make it happen gamefreak

[@edgargaebolg9307]

So Mantine

[@SymbioticVader]

Or a battle ship which I can't think of a pokemon based of off except gmax blastoise

[@HeraclesN-fp1bw]

When I saw the thumbnail I totally thought of Space Godzilla, & as for the Swablu having a branching evolutions with a weather theme is interesting & could see more like a dust devil / tornado form making it a Ground & Flying type

[@HoopsandHipHop]

A dust devil/sandstorm evo could definitely be cool too!

[@AngelPerez-tu1nk]

Giving Swablu branched evolutions based on the weather is a pretty neat idea. And basingTerminitar on SpaceGodzilla *chef kiss*

[@benjaminkavanagh8720]

Maybe the mechanic is that you could have a particular csstform in your party to evolve the swablu towards a particular line

[@SpacialRend7]

You had me at more Godzilla inspired Pokémon! Terminitar looks like a great branched evolution, being based on SpaceGodzilla. Perhaps the evolution method could be Pupitar learning Power Gem or a new move that associates with Terminitar’s powers.

[@jorgeneedssleep7978]

2:00 there could be a fourth alteria form for Acid Rain being a poison type

[@AndrewHager02]

Your concept of Gorochu is an awesome one, I like it even better than my idea, utilizing Pichu’s beta design into an entirely new species and evolution line of Pokémon to give us what would eventually become Gorochu. Even though it worked for Bellibolt, which I’m assuming was based on Politoed’s beta design, I thought it could work for Beta Pichu and Gorochu, but in my opinion, your concept works a lot better in execution.

[@HoopsandHipHop]

Thank you, I’m glad you like it!!

[@FLLax11]

Alto is a term used when describing clouds as well

[@julieta8683]

Voltremolo looks really cool 💛and I'd love to see Misdreavus get a branched evolution 🤞🏻

[@pumpkinberry3335]

I wanted to say thanks for making videos! I've been watching since I was in middle school and it's always comforting to watch your content!

[@HoopsandHipHop]

Thanks so much!! I’m glad you enjoy it and I appreciate it!! 😄❤️

[@rekcroom]

I really like these! Though for the typing issue with Terminitar, I feel like it may be better to make it a regional evolution instead of a branching evo. A Rock/Psychic Larvitar and Pupitar that evolves in the Dark/Psychic Terminitar. Or maybe even go wild and make it a convergent form from space. Larviteor, Pupiteor, and Terminitar.

[@kevintracyjr8690]

That works to! Having it be regional variant could add to the lore on why it "came from space."

[@HoopsandHipHop]

I do like the idea of a rock psychic Larvitar and Pupitar! 👀

[@skyylerkingery98]

That's interesting concept on SpaceGodzilla part and it makes sense on Psychic type because well even SpaceGodzilla was created by Godzilla's cells fly towards black hole but that still considered extraterrestrial

[@narutotntfgaming5872]

To Me Fairy gives off Space and Alien Vibes I think Rock/Fairy make sense to me But still looks cool

[@oshawottmain7608]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Gorochu was a missed opportunity and I would love it if Game Freak brought it back in some way, shape or form! Hell, let's make it a Legendary Pokemon! (Kinda like how Diancie is a legendary version of Carbink)

[@bestwaifu3852]

A "sunny" evolution for Swablu could be cool too, making the cloud fluff into flames

[@Double00Mk]

I have a theory that the dragonite line will get a branched evolution in za because it’s the only pseudo legendary line that hasn’t been directly touched. Either dragonite gets a regional form, a mega or there’s a split evo or the split evo gets the mega like how only glalie got a mega

[@kaylaasato8191]

Did Dragapult get a dynamax form? And are we counting Iron Jugulus for Hydregon?

[@Double00Mk]

@@kaylaasato8191 yes im counting iron jug, and I forget about dragapult too often, I guess bax line didn’t get touched either but they are still relatively recent, so correction only pre6 pseudo that hasn’t received any love

[@dwightdeisenhower53]

Voltremolo actually looks dope and that’s a cool evolution idea

[@HoopsandHipHop]

Thank you!!

[@AdamGołębiewski-v1s]

Branched evos: *are small in numbers* Hoops: More... MOOOORE!

[@kevintracyjr8690]

Terminatar is great type wise, cause then is 4x weak to bug; while Tyranitar is 4x weak to fighting. While with the Swablu evo, my mind was thing dirty before weather kicked in. Because of the pokedex entries that talked about Altaria keeping itself clean. Overall these picks were great and they all looked amazing.

[@HoopsandHipHop]

Thank you!! Glad you like them!!

[@poseidonsthot9060]

With voltremolo you could also have it evolve in specific weather or battle terrains instead of with stones which could be a fun feature. Like with an electric terrain and rain dance it would evolve after battle

[@isaacmaze7897]

that gorochu design is PEAK! I rarely say this to fakemon artists but gamefreak NEEDS to do this!!!!!!!!

[@HoopsandHipHop]

Glad you like it!!

[@DPUDDZ]

Great Gorochu design

[@HoopsandHipHop]

Thank you!!

[@stevenjohnson6962]

On Thursday I caught shiny male salandit. I really wish there was a male evolution for that line.

[@HoopsandHipHop]

Congrats on the catch!!

[@ryanhart1020]

I hope the new game makes a split evolution for dragonaire. A new water dragon Type and then they could give both this new Pokémon and dragonite mega evos

[@kendragramley6243]

I really liked the video and the evolutions, you've got some great ideas! The way you had the pokemon pop up on the screen and squish kinda freaked me out though, but maybe that's just me! :)

this is such a dope group of pokemon!!

They were all really good, as always, but Algeria Evo is peak design and concept

[@kingcrimson150]

I would love to see these new fakeamon get into histrobea.

[@stevieriddle2431]

Out of the three Evo's you did, Terminitar is the coolest. Having a Space Godzilla branched evo of Tyranitar is epic. Plus it should be a Dark/Psychic type to really sell that antagonistic role but also there is only family pokemon with that unique typing. But any cool video and keep up the work😊❤🎉

[@AidanRooney-s4w]

Always so excited when Hoops uploads. Keep it up

[@hdtheduck2293]

I've been making a lot of split evos myself- I made a swablu split evo (before this video came out) but it's very large and very round and has a musical theme, it's called Dublue

[@sechanlc9952]

I think with Swablu instead of it holding a stone on level up what if it evolves by battling and leveling up in different weather conditions? Clear skys you obviously get Altaria but if you level up Swablu during a thunder storm, just a regular rain storm or a snow storm it could determine what it evolves into. Additionally I think it would be a fun idea if the electric version was more rare due to it being a bit more difficult to tell if you're leveling up Swablu in a thunderstorm or regular rain storm

[@HoopsandHipHop]

Oooh yeah this would be a perfect way to do it!! Great idea!!

[@leafdragoon8551]

I think Castform should definitely get evolutions for its different forms depending on what form it is in when it evolves. They should also add sandstorm, wind, mist and thunderstorm forms for it. Mist and Thunder can use the terrain. Mega Rayquaza's Delta Stream added a wind weather condition, so they just need to add a normal version of that for Pokémon.

[@2ndClassNerd]

As an alternate choice for Voltrememolo and it's snow counter part is that they have to have experienced an attack from a legendary bird. Voltrememolo transforms at level 35 after having experienced Voltres while your snow would come from Articuno. Just a thought.

[@brianmoyachiuz905]

I just realized the Swablu line of evolutions can be the states of matter Altaria is gas cause of flying type Voltremolo is plasma cause of electric And the future evolution are liquid for water and solid for ice

[@Daniphantom31]

Tyranatar could also have a shimo evolution I've drawn a shimo based pokemon and he looks awesome one of my favorite fakemon I've drawn and would work really well as a alternate evo for tyranitar

[@Krayzeeart]

PLEASE make the other swablu evolutions!!!!

[@RoyArkon]

Regarding Voltermolo, it can't be Dragon/Electric Type because Swablu itself is Normal/Flying, it only gets the Dragon Type upon evolving to Altaria, so by that Typing you're basically doing the same thing that you didn't want to do Terminitar (giving it the Dark/Psychic Type), and therefore all of Swablu's evolutions need to be instead Electric/Flying, Water/Flying and Ice/Flying respectively. The designs are awesome though, all the Pokemon in this video.

[@HoopsandHipHop]

While true regarding what I said about Terminitar lol, it still isn’t impossible. For example, Cubone is a ground type and evolves into Alolan Marowak who is fire/ghost, so it’s not unheard of for a pokemon to gain/change two types upon evolving. Using the flying type instead of dragon could also work, but I think this is a sort of scenario where that sort of a thing (gaining two new types upon evolving) could more feasibly happen.

[@RoyArkon]

@@HoopsandHipHop You got a point there dude

[@JaxonBellve]

missed opportunity to reference the iconic lava thumbs up from Terminator.

[@megamania9393]

I like the altaria one, also lowkey i constantly forget castform exists. Also I feel you could've gone dragon rock type for the tyranitar one

[@nahidahamed1742]

That gotuchu design is so good I wish it was real

[@bauaserkun]

terminatar's dex entry - on rare occasion pupitar evolves into this form, it looks for tyranitar's to prove its superiority. evolution method: pupitar needs to reach level 55 at place filled with cosmic power (like meteo falls, mt moon etc)

[@5Porygon]

My most favorite from this video is design of Gorochu.

[@derrabbit7289]

Terminitar and Gorachu would be must haves on my team!:)

[@Envy2251]

Honestly, i think having to have your pokemon hold the evolution stone and level up to evolve might have been a cooler way to do the stone evolution in my opinion

[@nazeersadek6705]

6:54 man I get your point but Umbreon exists

[@Godzillaheisei4]

Let’s go a space godzilla Pokémon

[@DustinGuidroz]

For the split Tyranitar, I would have leaned into the larva, pupa of its prevos and make it into a Mothra looking Pokémon.

[@chiefgitsu]

there should be some pokemon that when they breed, they create a new line altogether

[@derrabbit7289]

Idea: What would Yugioh duelist look like as Pokémon trainers and what would their aces look like as Pokémon.

[@ErikLambShank]

Castform is a man-made pokemon, so you could say that the branched Altaria evos were the inspiration for the scientists who created Castform if they were real.

[@Lylizabeth]

Surskit branched ego?

[@alexpfeifle879]

I would have typed them electric/flying, electric/dragon on Gorochu, and Psychic/Ground so Pupitars evolutions each get one of its types. Regardless, great video! And cool designs/ideas

[@ursidae97]

I would have made Gorochu a little more red, since Pikachu has two colors yellow and red, and you could see Raichu as carrying the yellow and Gorochu as carrying the red. But that's just because I liked that Gorochu was already redder

[@AustinHenryminecraft]

terminitar could be a rare evo from the regular pupitar but it could be a more common one from a regional variant

[@Riftrender]

Tyranitar is my favorite pseudo.

[@JustNate365]

9:09 was hoping would be dark/psychic ❤

[@anthonyrinaldi5175]

The tyranitar might be able to do better as a convergent form as spoace godzilla was formed when godzillas dna was shot into space and turned into space godzilla (i think) this is just my opinion however, and the concept rn is absolutley fire,

[@freddymartinez2240]

Gorochu design would make an excellent mega for Pikachu or Raichu

[@Knight41b]

Ignoring the butler in that mansion in D/P/P (who I personally think just knocks out passerby trainers & yoinks their Pokémon to put into his master’s garden), Pichu only appears in the wild in only two (technically 3 if you count Hisui. Though in that case you could say lore wise, Pichu could be an extremely rare phenomenon that almost never happens in the wild) regions. GF could explain this easily (in future games) by having a Pichu fanatic deliberately have their Pikachu hold a new item that weakens their stats while forcing them to breed nonstop. This would explain away why Pichu can’t control their electricity (as they’re malnourished and weak). This would also explain why Pichu need high friendship to evolve into a weakened Pikachu (stat wise) then a Thunderstone to evolve to Raichu. Without that item, Pikachu would hatch instead and evolve into Raichu by LV.up then using the Thunderstone to evolve again into Gorochu.

[@zneuger6746]

I have a great idea for Terminitar: think about an evolution mechanic that has only been sparsely used: time of day evolution. The only Pokemon who currently evolve based on the in-game day/night cycle are Espeon, Umbreon, Sneasel, Happiny, Riolu, Yungoos, Alolan Ratatta, Rockruff, Fomantis, Snom, and Greavard. And out of those 11, only Rockruff has 3 branched evolutions based on time of day/game (plus Ability for Dusk Form Lycanroc). So why not have Terminitar, the who is partially based on the terminator line on planets between the day/night cycle only be able to evolve during the hour of dawn/dusk, and maybe require a specific move or Ability, or else high friendship.

[@rayhayes7701]

Yes bring back Gorochu

[@nicholase82]

I think the evo items should be used on more pokemon.

[@rexyjp1237]

Isnt tyranitar also based on bemular from ultraman?

[@MuffinBuggo]

Termitar looks more like the New Empire's pink Godzilla

[@skygx2971]

Bro forgot about Mega Gyarados when he said gen 1 has no dark types

[@StrongGuy159]

Swablu's branch Evolution: Voltremolo looks so amazing. Swablu should evolve at level 35 into it with a ThunderStone, Pikachu's Branch Evolution: Gorochu looks awesome. Pikachu should evolve into it with an Origin Stone, & Tyranitar's Branch Evolution: Terminatar looks so cool & scary. He looks like SpaceGodzilla. Pupitar should evolve into Terminatar while holding a Space Crystal or learning Meteor Punch.

[@MistyMountainPath]

Ok space Godzilla was badass

[@andrewsun4385]

Awesome!!!❤❤💯💯

[@doot7730]

I kinda think terminitar could be rock fairy. As the pink crystals kinda invoke diance verbs.

[@nav3346]

Oh, I thought Terminitar was taken from Terminus which is the furthest point in space/time which goes with the "Space" part of space godzilla 😅

[@TickedOffPriest]

I really think that giving Altaria so many branched evolutions is stealing Eevee's thing.

[@kevinzhang9591]

hoops, you missed sandstorm as a weather form for Altaria

[@scottinman9018]

gorochu should evolve only at after midnight (any time within the 15 minutes after midnight) while holding a dusk stone with max friendship on a level up showing why there arent that many because its a difficult set of steps to actually achieve the evolution like bloodmoon ursalunas extra effing steps its gotta evolve from ursa ring into ursaluna but specifically during a blood moon(autumnal martian reflection moon if you want the scientific expl.)

Yeah we need more swablu evos

[@circledude2362]

Regarding the rule that pokemon can only have 3 stage, I'm sure Gamefreak will break that rule cause Digimon has more than 4 stages in a line.

[@HoopsandHipHop]

I could definitely see it being broken at some point in the future!

[@circledude2362]

@@HoopsandHipHop Indeed. Also, Hoops, I've seen ofical sourses like smash wiki say that Jigglypuff is based on Kirby. So a 4th stage evolution for Wigglytuff should be futher based on Kirby. Like how Cleforbi loses its wings evolving from Clefable. So Migglystuff (Wigglytuff's evolved form) steals Clefable's wings upon evolving from wigglytuff.
