ITT: Middle evos with good designs

we in a dewott thread now
It's so pretty before it turns into the abomination that is Dragonite. Fucking Barney-esque fat piece of garbage.

Grovyle always felt like it could've been a fully evolved Pokémon. Not a three-stager of course. Other middle evos don't really give the same effect.
Doesn't help that Grovyle is a prominent character in a popular spinoff, thus making it seem mature.
>>27446203
I don't have a problem with dragonite itself but the fact that it evolves from this beauty is so triggering
>>27446203
Fuck dragonite and it's stupid "wings"
Every water starter middle evo is great, wartortle and dewott esp.
>>27446923
Croconaw is the worst mid-evo for a starter next to whatever the name of chespins mid-evo was.
Fuckin' caveman looking ass.
>>27446957
even prinplup?

>>27446988
Especially Prinplup, how can you not love a blue penguin owl?
>>27446923
Croconaw is so random I love it.
Totodile is a little cute alligator which evolves into a fearsome Godzilla-like monster, but before that happens, it goes through a teenage caveman phase.
Best idea ever.
And for the thread... I like Combusken.

>Fuckin' caveman looking ass
That's what I like, was a pretty neat feature imo.
>>27446988
Prinplup is great, man.
>>27447023
I never liked Prinplup desu. Even if Empoleon is one of my favourites final-evo Pokémon, I gotta admit it's prevo looks like a teenage-looking Piplup imo.

I love Sealeo. It doesn't get the love it deserves.
>>27447051
Overrated electric rat. Still, great decision.
>>27446159
Golem looks so stupid, and loses a pair of arms.
>>27447035
>>27447041
It'd be neat if Gatr's mega has the caveman motif return.
>tfw no shapeduck yet
Who doesn't love this little guy
>>27446923
I literally put an everstone on my Croconaw until it was too late in the game for him to be good
Grovyle is the fucking shit. God, I love that Pokémon. Good taste, OP.
Continuation from >>27447035 as I've remembered some more mons.
I really, really love Lombre. Its sprite often looks like it's really heroic, like Zorro or something (yes, I know it's supposed to be Mexican), despite the fact how weak it is. I don't know how to describe it, but I love this contrast.
I also like Nuzleaf, because the original Nuzlocke. And honestly most of the starters (Ivysaur, Charmeleon, Wartortle, Bayleef, Croconaw, Grovyle, Combusken, Monferno, Prinplup, Servine, Dewott, Braixen, Frodagier).
Surprisingly, preevos of my two favorite starters didn't make the list.
>>27450505
I love the entire line for Lotad and Seedot, and Nuzleaf/Lombre are definitely in my top 5 mid evos.
Metang's pretty good. Sure, the whole concept of the line is pretty basic, But Metang has a nice clean design. Shame that it doesn't hit it's stride until it evolves into Metagross, even though Metagross is my favorite mon ever.
