Many Pokémon evolve through leveling, but not with all. For example trading with another trainer or a special item to make it evolve. Each type of Pokémon specie has their types of abilities. For example, a pokémon learns swift at lvl 11 and will learn defense curl at lvl 13 but evolved using a moon stone before they reached lvl 13, it will not learn it. Only if you use TMs and HMs.Here are some Pokémon that need to be evolved using trade or special items.
