i was making a very bad pun on a song by the black eyed peas that was really popular(in america) a few months ago (i gotta feelin). and a song by the beatles called "i got a feeling"

i think that the gothic medicham in a black dress, aka gohirezu(spelling) ,looks like she should have an evo, and since rankurus(spelling) is he counterpart then he should get one, too

Gocherizeru will definitely be getting a pre-evolution. And if it does happen, then it's counterpart (Rankurusu) should get the same.

For some reason I think that Gigaiasu is Probopasses Evo, I know it seems kinda weird, and completely wrong, but I really think so, as the colour scheme is the same and the red things coming out of Gigaiasu maybe the noses, you never know

 

[Drakeman]

If Rankurusu have an evo, it will become what? Ursaring sized gummy?

 

[Starrk]

Gigaisu is something that I could see evolving but Rankurusu I think not.

 

[Pokequaza]

I don't think Rankanshu even needs a Evo. because he is better than gongrashu( the ghost made or somthing)

Haha, this post seriously won the thread. Congratulations!

Anyway, why would they evolve?
Rankurusu and Gochiruzeru are equal to eachother, if one doesn't evolve the other won't evolve either. These two are like the version exclusives as seen a lot in RSE (Sableye & Mawile, Volbeat & Illumise, Seviper & Zangoose etc.). I don't think they will evolve (pre-evo possible but unlikely).

Gigaiasu won't evolve either. Again, pre-evo possible but I don't think so, although still more chance than the previous 2 having pre-evolutions. Neither will he evolve from either Nosepass or Probopass. Probopass would be impossible for several reasons;
1. Probopass is evolved by a special method, Pokemon which have evolved by a special method never evolve again (except Porygon, although Porygon is artificial, thus different).
2. Probopass is Rock/Steel. It hasn't happened before that Pokemon first gain a new type and lose them later in the evolution (that wouldn't make sense either).
And the reason that it won't be a Nosepass split-evo is simply because of their abilities. Nosepass has Sturdy and Magnet Pull. Since we know that Gigaiasu has only Sturdy, one may ask what would happen to the Magnet Pull? Further they don't share any similarities apart from their color.

But (just to say), the last reason can't be applied to Luvdisc/Mamanbou. Yes we know that Mamanbou has Hydration and Healing Heart, while Luvdisc only has Swift Swim. But we don't know what will happen to Luvdisc's abilities in the 5th gen. Since Healing Heart is a new ability, it might be possible that Luvdisc also gets Healing Heart. And so making only the Swift Swim turning into Hydration upon evolving (what could be possible).

And no, even though Pokemon are able to gain abilities, it is impossible for them to lose abilities, so we do know that Nosepass also has Sturdy and Magnet Pull in generation 5.

^ just to add one thing: a pokemon's ability means nothing about weather or not it will evolve. look at numel and camerupt. or rhyhorn and rhyperior. or electabuzz and electivire you cant use abilities as proof fo or against a pokemon being eligably for an evo or prevo
and there is no way giga is probopass's evo. but i think it MIGHT be nosepass's evo

Thank you good sir. This is exactly how I feel about the situation. I'm all for Luvdisc-Mamanbou and Pachirisu-Emonga theories, but losing an ability is just ridiculous

I don't think that Gochiruzeru and Rankurusu will be getting evolutions, but pre-evolutions aren't out of the question at all.

^ electabuzz and rhydon lose one ability when they evolve

No they don't. The change their ability. Electabuzz' Static becomes Electivire's Motor Drive and Rhydon's Rock Head becomes Rhyperior's Solid Rock (Lightning Rod remains the same throughout the whole evolution). And I said it was impossible to lose an ability. Pokemon never lose one, they always will gain one or remain their previous abilities, which the latter is the most common.

We know that Nosepass has two abilities, Sturdy and Magnet Pull. Gigaiasu however only has one; Sturdy. Therefor Nosepass has to
lose its Magnet Pull upon evolution (since Gigaiasu doesn't have Magnet Pull) and therefor is it impossible for Gigaiasu to be Nosepass' evolution.

It's not only about looking at their game data, it is just a feeling that says it. However feelings don't prove anything, luckily I can back them up by the game data we do know about them, since the game data has also something to tell.

Anyway about Pachirisu-Emonga, there are two factors that make this also impossible. First of all it was said that there were no previous gen Pokemon in Isshu, since we can say, when thinking logical, that Emonga is the generation's Pikachu. We may assume that it's available early in the game. (And it looks to weak to be one of those post-elite4 evolutions, like Mamanbou for example, even though this is not the case at all since it should be early catchable)

Secondly, Pachirisy also has to lose an ability upon evolution, where you just agreed with me that that is impossible. Pachirisu has Run Away and Pickup, while Emonga has only Static.

Furthermore they look like eachother because all the Pika's look like eachother, but there are still some major differences like earshape for example.

True. I hadn't researched that, like the person I am xP I was only basing that judgement off of appearance. They could simply be counterparts.

I really dn't like these threads but why not! My random specs get closed and threads with no real discussion don't. Buut gigiasu get's a pre-evo and rankurusu is fine

 

[Jakovu]

I think Gigiasu should either have no evolution or a pre-evo only. It looks to awesome to have an evolution, and I hope it's not the Geodude/Graveler/Golem of Isshu. It should be around Absol in rarity. Rankurusu can stay no-evo.
