Pretty much EVERY SINGLE Gen V Stage 1 pokemon. They really couldve stuck with basic -> final evo with the majority. If you don't agree, go through the list of sugimori art, and just tell me which ones are necessary (besides starters and maybe a few others that really needed two evolutions)
Come to think of it I've always questioned the necessity of evolution as a whole to begin with. Who wants a monozu when they can have a sazandora? In the end, the pre-evolved forms are really like just temporary stages before you hit the end product you really want. And this applies especially in the competitive scene where evolved pokemon are obviously favoured over their earlier stages.
Just give me the final evo. I'd take it over the basic anyday.
