10 Pokémon That NEED Evolutions

10. Hawlucha

Hawlucha kicks the list off because it’s not so much that Hawlucha ‘badly’ needs an evolution so much as the game badly needs more Hawlucha in it. The Mexican wrestler design is so imaginative and gave them so much room to grow... but they just didn’t take it. As a standalone ‘mon, Hawlucha is all they do with this brilliant idea.

Stat wise, it’s fairly strong but again, there’s more to this than just the numbers. Not only would it be great to see more of this line with a similar design, Hawlucha is the only dual Fighting Flying type in the entire Dex, so it would be nice to see this expanded on.

Fighting being weak to Flying has always been one of the more nonsensical matchups (then again, it is rather hard to punch a bird), and with its unique typing Hawlucha draws a bit of focus to this.

All things considered, with the opportunity to do more with an interesting type blend, a creative theme and a great starting point, it would be a shame if that potential was wasted.
