Say, I just had a crazy idea of something regarding the potential new Pokémon. I wouldn’t count on my idea coming true, but I figured there’s no harm in sharing.
You know how there’s been speculation about the new critter being related to either Pikachu or Eevee, with a few suggesting some sort of hybrid relating to/connecting both of them? Well, I’m about to throw my own hat into the ring with a twist on these things:
What if the new Pokémon is something unrelated to Pikachu and Eevee evolution-wise, but still keeps the spirit of what made each of them popular? In layman’s term, I’m suggesting that we could be getting a Pikaclone that shares Eevee’s gimmick of having various evolutions using all of the evolutionary stones presumably available in LGPE.
Before I explain further, let me get three things out of the way:
For the sake of identification and simplicity, the stages of this hypothetical evolutionary line will be called Eeveechu for the base stage and Eonchu for the subsequent branched evolutions (which could go the way of Lycanroc or be counted as multiple different species depending on what Game Freak feels like doing.
Here’s how this concept would work: we’d start with Eeveechu having a Normal/Electric dual typing. Depending on the evolutionary stone used on it, it will evolve into one of several Eonchu.
Eeveechu + Moon Stone ⇨ Fairy/Electric Eonchu
Eeveechu + Fire Stone ⇨ Fire/Electric Eonchu
Eeveechu + Thunder Stone ⇨ pure Electric-type Eonchu
Eeveechu + Water Stone ⇨ Water/Electric Eonchu
Eeveechu + Ice Stone ⇨ Ice/Electric Eonchu
There may or not be more Eonchu species/forms for the other evolutionary stone, but they obviously wouldn’t be present in LGPE since none of the original 151 use those stones to evolve. I’m also not sure what abilities they’d give Eeveechu or the different Eonchu species/forms but that doesn’t matter right now since LGPE lack abilities to begin with.
So, what do you guys think?

Before I explain further, let me get three things out of the way:
- Regarding the argument of “it’s going to be a Mythical so it can’t evolve,” keep in mind that we now have evolving legendary Pokémon in the form of the Cosmog family (and arguably Type: Null into Silvally).
- I’m including the Ice Stone in my example due to the confirmation of Alolan Forms being in LGPE. They kind of have to be in order to evolve both Alolan Sandshrew into Alolan Sandslash and Alolan Vulpix into Alolan Ninetales. Granted, they could potentially leave out the Ice Stone for the sake of keeping things closer to Yellow and/or keep the evolved form exclusive to Pokémon GO to encourage using GO Park. However I don’t think Game Freak would/should risk that given the amount of backlash they’ve been getting about not allowing cross-generation evolution (doing this to Raichu, Exeggutor, and Marowak is far more understandable since their evolution gimmick isn’t tied to an item).
- For those of you who are wondering about there only being a listing for 808 Pokémon in Pokémon Quest, are we sure that isn’t just a placeholder for Hoopa Unbound (as it has been secretly used an extra slot to accommodate having more than one species listing in the Pokédex)? For all we know this new Pokémon might not have been originally planned for Quest. Also, there’s a possibility that Game Freak could update the amount of Pokémon available in the future, patching in new slots depending on when Game Freak decides to add more Pokémon to the National Pokédex.
