Which Pokémon Deserve a THIRD Branching Evolution?

So recently with Applin we saw a Pokémon that wasn't too special, until the Gen 9 DLC showed us that it actually has a Third branching path of evolution! Until now the only Pokemon that have had more than two branches were Eevee and Tyrogue, so quite an exclusive club, however Applin didn't stop there being able to evolve AGAIN after that!
This was truly unprecedented, but now that we've seen it, who's to say that this couldn't happen again? So which other Pokémon could pull off getting new family members added after the fact, and join the 3 branch crowd?

  • Slowpoke could gain an evolution either (A) not involving Shelder at all, or (B) involving some pokemon other than Shelder

    Ice/Fire Snorunt Evo. LET MY BOY BE WARM!
  • I would like to see charcadet evolve without an armor by tapping into some latent power inside and that evo has a third stage.

    I like the idea for this video. I think the solution for the Calf everyone always wanted for Taurus and Miltank is an Ox instead of a Bull or Cow. Something that can't reproduce and would be used for labor and could actually be a third thing based on how humans actually treat cattle. For Scyther, it is silly, but if they actually given it actual grim reaper scythes and turned it either dark or ghost could have been a lot of fun. Charcadet actually lost a cool opportunity there huh. Teal and Indigo were named in the DLCs. Having like a Teal Helmet and an Indigo Shield or something that gave, say, dark and steel types would have been awesome. Also, call me stupid, but I did actually want Sawk and Throh to get the Tyrogue treatment. If they were going to be clones anyway, they might as well have given us a third muppet fighter.
  • Slowpoke and Clamperl come to mind. But I feel that Eevee and Tyrouge should get another branch evolution that evolve again but could gain a secondary typing if you have been both in your party.
  • @jfb173jb
    This has been tossed around (even by you), but what about the Tyroge treatment for the Sawk and Throh lines? And maybe adding a Kixx for kickboxing/taekwondo. It would make the parallels stand out too much, but still. As for your Charcadet ideas, fairy fire could maybe be a bow user with pink coloring that has a long reach type of physical fairy attack. Fire electric with a lance that pierces or breaks barriers and fire dark with an axe attack thats maybe got recoil or can't be used in succession. And lastly, a fire water that had maybe a healing steam attack.

    Speaking of mega glalie, I'm sad froslass didn't get the same treatment that gallade got

    Here’s some ideas using evolution items Munchlax evolving using Whipped Dream (Normal/Fairy) or Syrupy Apple (Normal/Grass) There could be a branch evolution depending on if Black Augurite (adds Rock type), Peat Block (adds Ground type), or Metal Alloy (adds Steel type) is used Or if deep sea scale (adds Water type), dragon scale (adds Dragon type), or Prism scale is used Or if Magmarizer (adds Fire type) or Electirizer (adds Electric type) is used The types of evolutions we could get from existing items has great potential that is being left untapped in favour of “1 key for 1 lock” mentality

    I have a video idea so it’s like your what if every Pokémon was duel type but instead what if every duel type Pokémon had to change 1 of their type like charizard changing it’s type into fire dragon I thought of this and I think it’s cool can you please do this as the next video also do this for all regions also give all type mons stars from 0-3 stars like your if every Pokémon was duel type

    I have personally always have considered Scyther and Onix counterparts since gen 2. Scyther and Onix both evolve via Metal Coat when traded and both get the Steel typing until evolution. They also both got acces to Mega Evolution. So i would say Onix getting another Branched evolution that loses the Ground typing (As opposed to Steelix losing Ground) and becomes Rock/Dragon (With it having a kinda Blue design inspiration, as a reference to the Blue Onix in the anime). It would make Scyther and Onix counterparts yet again (Since they lost the status in Legends Arceus). Considering Scyther evolves into Kleavor with the Black Augurite, make Onix evolve with the White Augurite. Talking counterparts: Bellsprout should become counterparts with Oddish yet again and also get a branched evolution.

    We all know that charizard will get a 3rd mega in legands ZA. And thats it
  • Following recent tradition, it will be Charcadet. The last 2 gens have done that where soft version exclusive evos get a third in the next mainline game. The Lycanroc duo got Dusk, the Apples got Dipplin, Charcadet is the next logical step. I don't even think they have to worry about a third evo. I think they only did Hydrapplin to balance the G-Max form.

    In legends Arcues Wurmple evolved depending on the time of day so you can easily make Beautifly for morning time, Dustox for night time and then add 2 more evolutions for moon and dusk

    always a good day when the emperor graces us with his presence
  • @lipika2841
    An opponent from Pokéstar Studios (named UFO) seems like it could be a Steel-type cocoon stage for Wurmple. Look it up, you can't unsee it.
  • It’s not quite what you asked, but man , do I really wish Slowking and Froslass get megas in Legends Z-A to make their lines even.
  • I really want them to close out the Eevee branches with the remaining types, in order I'd like to see are Ground, Steel, Dragon, Poison, Bug, Flying, Fighting, Rock, and Normal. I also think getting something else for Wurmple could be cool, but I think that would happen in a future Gen 3 Remake or Legends Hoenn.
  • Syther Scizzor and Cleavor alredy have the rock paper scizors theme going (even if the type interactions don’t really work) so I think if anything they’ll make an evolution based on paper to fit the bill a bit later than syther does, it can be a grass/bug type with papyrus swords on its hands
