With Pokemon GO celebrating Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead) starting on the first of next month, a plethora of Pokemon will be available for players to catch. Naturally, with Pokemon GO trainers racking up catches and candies, some wonder which of these available Pokemon can evolve into more powerful forms.

Depending on whether players are catching Pokemon in the wild, using Incense or Lure Modules to attract them, completing research tasks, or taking part in November 2's Spotlight Hour, different Pokemon will be available.

With different availability comes different evolutions, and it's worth looking into which of these Pokemon possess the capability.
