List of Pokémon by evolution family

This is a list of Pokémon by their evolution family. That is, it is a list of Pokémon in their National Pokédex order, but it also includes later-released evolutions and pre-evolutions closer to the first Pokémon in their family to be released. This means that Pichu will appear before Pikachu, instead of at its National Pokédex position of 172, and Magby and Magmortar will appear next to Magmar. Evolution families are named by their basic evolutionary form. For example, although Azurill is the lowest Pokémon in its evolutionary line, it is still known as the Marill family, because Marill was released first.

The methods of evolution listed include all means of inducing a Pokémon's evolution in the core series games, Pokémon Colosseum, and Pokémon XD. The first method listed is the first that was available. In some games, some methods may not be available (such as Eevee's evolution to Espeon or Umbreon in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen) or practical (such as Feebas, who will always evolve if its Beauty is high enough, but its Beauty cannot be affected in all games).
