My interpretation of Zubat's Evo line. Zubat -- no legs. Golbat-- underdeveloped legs. Crobat-- old legs become new wings, new underdeveloped legs sprout.

[@wowjennawow]

that’s a good way to look at it!

[@TF2430-m7w]

give it one more evo stage and we're gonna have a spider

[@kesselmines]

It’s also a plus how Grabat’s name is reminiscent of the word ‘cravat’, which is the piece of fur he wears around his neck that looks like a fabric cloth!

[@lonelytac0]

Talked abt Golbat, and my inner childhood memories of PokePark came back Did you know, that Golbat on it walks normally, and they put their wings infront of their mouths, like a vampire, which is my preferred answer to how they "close" it Also Cofagrigus walks coffin side up, with their arms, like a quadruped, and I think that's neat. Although according to the anime, they only do that if there's someone inside, because they get too heavy

[@spacecowboy8232]

The eye shape on the ears of Meowsma is so cool! Definitely my favorite design out of the four of them!

[@Missiletainn]

Grabat feels like it would be perfect fit for a Gen 4 evolution. It's diving more into its concept rather than its animal, which is more 4 gen onwards, but is still simplistic enough pose and design to fit in with designs before they went 3D

[@timwoods2852]

Eh, most of the Gen 4 evolutions just made them fat, or added some flamboyant accessories for little reason. I think Ron's design fits more with the modern style of evolutions we've seen in Gen 8 and 9, where the theme is expanded, but the original isn't sacrificed or deformed.

i love how simple grabat is! not every mon has to be heavily complicated.

[@Terradragoon]

Honestly, the mareanie one is my typical line of thought for evos (split or otherwise): taking the inspiration and running with it. I also like to do a quick search to see if there's any interesting trivia or historical/mythological ties that could be incorporated.

[@allisonarteaga4168]

I love the Zubat evolution line so much (especially Golbat - I have a tattoo of the original sprite with its big tongue because its seriously some of my favorite pokemon art of all time) and I do agree theres a lot of weird quirks about them, like how Crobat loses Golbat's more defined legs and loses its sudden giant mouth and reverts to a body shape closer to Zubat's and looks significantly smaller somehow but you somehow designed a pokemon that i love even more than Golbat or Crobat!!! I love it I really wish it was real now!

[@HeraclesN-fp1bw]

Out of these 4 my favorite is definitely Meowsma with first its name being a pun on miasma & to add it can also be based on a Cat Sith from Celtic mythology, but I would love to see other split evolution like Corphish with this one would be what it original evolves into

[@dogemon11]

Hey there! Would like to see this concept even more!

[@rafaelleair325]

[@LuckyCat-22]

[@ItsCosmoTewulf]

5:38 NOT THE MEOWSITC INFLATION AT THE BOTTOM NOOOOO

[@timwoods2852]

Y'know, I wasn't feeling Grabat, until you added the colors! 🤩 It looks like the kind of proper evolution Game Freak might have given it in this more modern era of new evolutions. It keeps the basics of the design while expanding upon them and adding just enough to give it new life and a reason to exist. 10/10. The others are also very good. Here's a split idea: Since several Dex entries talk about how it likes to bathe in lava; if you take a Rhydon to an active volcano/lava pool and use a Fire Stone (or some other item) you get a Rock/Dragon type. Its horn has become a diamond tipped drill as has the end of its tail, with the tail being a more ballistic button drill. It would have angular, orange diamonds coming out from between the frills on its head to make dragon horns, and larger ones from its shoulders to look like pseudo wings, and one or two coming out of/covering its knees and elbows. The frills and segments of its body would be smoother, more pointed, and almost look like armor. Its tail would have smaller spines alternating around it like Pinsir's mandibles, but in more of a shark fin shape. It would have the ability Plasma Proof: Grants full immunity to Fire and Electric moves. It still has its 4× Ice weakness as well as gaining a weakness to the Fairy type, so it's not unbeatable. I just can't think of a suitable name. 🤔 Dex entries: The impurities have burned away from its body allowing its true power to emerge. Its intellect has also been refined. It employs traps and mazes to keep invaders from its lair. This Pokemon is always on the hunt for gemstones. It will eat those with flaws or impurities, but any perfectly formed stones are hoarded in its lair as prizes. Because of this greedy humans, and hungry Pokemon like Sableye, often try to steal from its collection.

[@DawnOfElaris]

I've been making my own region recently and out of the 26 Pokemon (9 lines) I've made so far, 2 of the lines have split evolutions and one has a final stage that is technically all the same pokemon, but has numerous different types, being either Flying/Normal, Flying/Dark, Flying/Electric, Flying/Ice, or Flying/Psychic.

I'm a giant fan of toxapex (both design-wise and for battling), and I think toxempress would flesh out the evo line so perfectly. It could also bring my darling little wall, t-spikes setter, baneful bunker + venoshock spamming baby back into viability

[@Longshot-qv8is]

I have some pokemon in mind that should have a split evolution which are: Scyther, chikorita (since rowlet, oshawott an cyndaquil have a hisuian form an also there regular evo) and lastly Gastly bc I would love to see a split evo of a new pokemon besides Gengar (love Gengar tho💜)

[@lazerith84]

Even through it would be over powered would have liked to see slaqueen with parental bond. Klutz feels like she would drop her baby - which is on brand for sloths but not on brand for slaqueen - though I guess perhaps it’s got klutz since items don’t work since it’s to busy holding it’s baby?

[@AustinSPTD1996]

On the contrary, I think it’s perfect for a motherhood-themed Pokémon. Pokémon can only hold one item at a time. The fact she couldn’t use any held items implies that she’s a dutiful mother.

[@kieran5476]

What if you made prevolutions for basic pokemon (basic as in the pokemon card definition of a pokemon with no evolutions). You could make one for a pokemon like zeraora or sawk or something. I got this idea from the skylanders games as they did something similar to this. (Also i really enjoy your videos, they really make my day)

[@Xyrusama]

Slakueen having "Klutz" as an ability while holding her child feels... odd. Maybe the slakoth rest so much to recover from the trauma...

[@patriciagill7713]

Espurr is an absolute favourite of mine and I adore female Meowstic. Happy to see the line get a bit of love but would have been more intrigued to see a fire type one, but this typing also makes sense.

[@saturnzone]

I got an idea while binging some of our videos. So the idea is: You get some other poketubers, or just some friends, that don't particularly know how to draw. Then you use their ideas, and recreate them into real fakemon. Kind of what Moxie did awhile ago with Mikey's fakemon, and Purplecliffe's (hilarious) AI pokemon.

[@alolan_ace]

[@50shadesofgeek41]

You could've given Slakueen Parental Bond as a hidden ability, that way it could be as powerful as Slaking and also it would've made perfect sense with the concept

[@SpicedAubergineBaobuns]

You know how Gloom got a split evolution in gen 2? They should have done something like that for Weepinbell. You could take the same route as Gloom and Bellossom and make a cuter or silly evolution for Weepinbell that's pure grass. or go in the opposite direction, make it wither into a menacing pure poison type. Or possibly a goofy pure poison type/ scary pure grass.

[@LittleCrowYT]

I always wanted split evos based around different stats. Like an Aron that diverged down a speedier path, or a flightless fearow known for defense instead of speed and attack.

[@OrangerJuice]

This video just made me remember my dream from last night. I was allowed to turn into any Pokemon I wanted to, but, I kept picking kirlia. I am a grown cisgender man. Why couldn't I have at least gone with Gallade?

[@Tbone2724]

Great video, a great idea for Split Evolution could be a pokemon that evolves into Miltank or Tauros based on gender

[@Unknownagon]

an idea for a trope not sure if it has already been done (probably has): add a middle evo to a pokemon, either a fourth evolution or one to a 2 stage mon. e.g. a mon between Vullaby and Mandibuzz.

[@sparks-of-magic]

i really love slakqueen and the espurr evo! great work !

[@millie-mayprice891]

I've always thought crobat seemed really tacked on to the zubat line. zubat to golbat works for me, but then crobat looks like a different creature to me. Grabat feels like a more natural evolution to the line to me, and I love how BIG he is! it's kind of giving starter line energy.

Idk if you've done it or before, but starters of every type would be cool.

I have not drawn it out yet but, I have an idea for an eevee like pokémon based off of mages, where a little bug learns three different types of moves and then also bug type moves and depending on which stat is higher like the hitmons it will evolve into a specific form with a different stat spread, when attack is it's highest stat it will evolve into a bug fire type, special attack will be bug ice and balanced stat spread or speed/defenses will be bug/psychic, it's basically an evolution line that decides which element is best for it through the way you trained it, after each evolutions there will be another evolution for each respective type, with the fire, ice and shiny stone, this is like an example on if they find their true strength/purpose or just a hidden artifact that will improve their strength they will be able to evolve into their final stages where they mastered their element! each of the forms have protean as their hidden ability and other normal abilities depending on the type it evolved into
