Due to link caps, and most evolutions triggering on stat thresholds, certain Pokémon linked to this Warrior require high IVs to evolve.
Evolution eligibility in this table assumes the following:
Max Energy multiplier of 1.1× applied to stats.
The full range of 0-31 IVs is considered. (Default Pokémon have 15 IVs in every stat, while wild Pokémon can have 0-31 IVs)
Notes:
Passwords can bypass normal availability checks in any story.
Pokémon marked with an asterisk (*) next to their password eligibility require an unofficial password.
"Direct link" means linking to that exact Pokémon in the wild, as opposed to evolving a previous form of it.
