Yeah, but that would make Lanturn too dangerous and overpowered if it could resist all that, and at the same time deal out some serious damage.

Pokemon that should(n't) have (pre)-evolutions

>:( I hate you...
I think Skarmory should have a pre-evo just like mantine since theyhave the exact same stats, just flip-floped
Not really if it had let's say these base stats
150 / 30 / 100 / 55 / 92 / 100. It wouldn't be too dangerous just a reliable tank. These base stats give him a total of 527 not that game breaking IMO.
Well, I guess so...but still, he'd be pretty tough to take down in my opinion.
exactly my point, lack of speed make up for this though since you can abuse this(unless it's a TR team then you're screwed unless you have an even slower poke). Plus he is weak to one of the most common attacking types(Ground) and to one of the most looked down on attacking types(grass)
Bullcrap. I mean, things like Metagross (OMG tough to take down) with 600 BST, and grand typing, are allowed, yet a Lanturn EVO is too much? Boltbeam is not the only combo out there. It doesn't resist Shadow/Fight, Fly/Fight, Ground/Rock, or anything else. Just boltbeam. Boltbeam is not even that important anymore. It would be good, not hard to take down.
unless he kept his speed stat then he would be laughing material outside TR
Torkoal could be grass/fire too...its weak to stealth rock,but at least its neutral to EQ and surf(who uses poison?)and give something like Drought to make it even cooler
Something like 80/85/150/20/100/100 would be cool(535 is good,like Crobat or Lapras,which are not OU,but BL)

I understand where you're coming from with this, but Banette doesn't really NEED and evolution. Banette can be playable.

Well, Swellow is pretty godly as is, so that's why I suggested an evolution in between. Noctowl could use an evolution but he's somewhat playable (decent Yanmega and Breloom counter) and which is why again I suggested an evoultion in between somewhere.
Dusclops was also playable without an evolution.
Pre-evolutions in general are pointless.

I probably won't be the first to say this, but Chansey should NEVER have evolved. Blissey was totally unnecessary and Chansey was good enough as a special wall. The only difference is with Blissey you can afford Defense investment where you'd need a lot more Sp. Def. investment with Chansey. So they took an amazing special wall and turned it into the best special wall, even in ubers, that could still take a physical hit or two if it needs to. IMO, Blissey was really unnecessary.
I'd also like to see more forms of Aerodactyl, on either side of the evolutionary chain. He's like the only single form fossil.

Is it just me or doesn't Kangaskahn need a pre-evo? Lets hatch an Egg with a Baby and Mother already inside?
But yeah Evo for Jynx, Banette and Torkoal, However I think Pinsir also got shafted on the non-evo.
A lanturn evo would be cool, but what could you do in all honesty? I think Weepinbell should have an alternate evoloution.
Also I think Zangoose and Seviper could have a pre-evo too (A Goose without a Scar prefably). I also think Evee needs another couple of evoloutions ;)

chansey should have not gotten a pre-evo. i agree with kelog, pre-evos are generally pointless and add nothing but cuteness and maybe some reason (munchlax and snorlax clears up some things).
sableye needs a evo too. i liked the little bugger.
rhydon didnt need an evo
electabuzz didnt need one
magmar sure as hell didnt need one
skarmory should get one. that would be sweet as hell to see.

Eevee needs an Dragon evolution, it's the one of the old special side that it doesn't have.
Seaking could have an evolution, and be nearer to Gyarados. Something with a big drill in his head.
Goldeen -> Seaking
Magikarp-> Gyarados
I think that they should be similar, and no so differents...
Shuckle must go out of his shell, winning some speed and attack and losing some defences. Like Scyther-Scyzor and Onix-Steelix.
We shouldn't forget Electrode. Why did Magneton get an evo if it was a good OU because of his Magnet Pull? It's the same as Banette and Dusclops.

Will someone please think of the Kangaskahn?
So, you think 3 Pokemon that weren't very good last gen shouldn't have gotten the chance to get playability this gen, and we shouldve made a Pokemon that was the star of last gen have an evolution with more defense and the same awesome typing?
I see.
I saw that coming a mile away lol.
Anyway, as far as pre-evos go, I think the only ones that make sense would be the Pokemon that are way too big to hatch out of an egg. Like Onix. Give him a pre-evo, and some new egg moves (Head Smash), and we're set. Lapras needs a pre-evo (should have been Shellos), and Miltank and Tauros need a calf split-prevo, like Tyrogue with the Hitmons. I agree 100% with a Farfetch'd evo.
But what I want most is a Bug/Ground Pinsir evo. A great big Gladiator beetle with STAB Earthquake. (Heracross is a Hercules beetle, Gladiator beetles have the horns set horizontally like Pinsirs, except they're jagged).
Well ya, except that Dusknoir was already OU and saw a lot more use than Banetter. -_-
I think sneasel should get a pre-evo that involves getting encore . . . for even more Weavile annoyance . . . Oh, and if its pre-evo could pick up low-kick too, that'd be great. :P
pinsir needs an evo :)
hopefully not a carbon copy of heracross

agreed although Skarm doesn't need a pre EVo but having an EVO with Bliss kind of defenses will make him so cool(not that he isn't already)
Maybe if they made if plain BUG with like 405 ATK and gave it Megahorn.
