The Oddish line got Bellossom in Gen 2.
Golduck doesn't need it he's already perfectIt greatly amuses me that Golduck is one of the only counters to goddamn Mega Rayquaza .
I've seen some fun Parasect fanart where the mushrooms infest other Pokemon.I honestly feel like Dwebble is basically mushroomless Parasect lol
I think Paras could get a split evolution where the mushroom doesn't take over.

but I am fairly certain we have not seen any of the mythicals get new forms/megas have we?Shaymin absolutely has gotten a new form.
Shaymin absolutely has gotten a new form.
That new form debuted in the same gen that Shaymin did, so I don't think we can call it a "new" form so much as a form it came with right out of the box. I thought about saying Mega Diancie, but it's the same situation as Sky Form Shaymin. Both Diancie and its mega debuted in the same gen.Same Gen, sure, but not the same game so it wasn't really "out of the box" for anyone who played during that Gen.
I don't remember any of those getting evolutions

Technically Ditto gets new forms every game.
Nidoking and Nidoqueen should get an evolution that requires them both to be in your party, then they fuse together into Nidorebus.
Double the base stats, but it takes up two slots in your party.
Having every stat be ~160 would make it probably the strongest pokemon ever.That's why you can only have three of them
I still wouldn't count it though, since those forms were clearly designed alongside their originals while that gen was being created. It's not the same as a new evolution or form being designed separately from the originals and added later on. While Gamefreak were designing Magmar for gen 1, I strongly doubt they were thinking what its evolution would look like in gen 4. While they were designing Ampharos for gen 2, I strongly doubt they were thinking about a mega evolution coming in gen 6. But while they were designing Shaymin for gen 4, they were clearly creating both of its forms at the same time and basing them off each other at the conceptual level. Likewise with Diancie and its mega evolution in gen 6. That's the difference IMO.We have already established that you wouldn't count it, which is irrelevant to me saying the opposite. Whether you add on other unsubstantiated rationale is irrelevant.
What did Cloyster get?nothing, OP forgot it
What did Cloyster get?Hitachi magic wand
What did Cloyster get?Shellder got new forms in Slowking and Galarian Slowpoke's evos.
I've seen some fun Parasect fanart where the mushrooms infest other Pokemon.The output you get in the Pokemon Infinite Fusion fangame whenever you get Parasect with something else tends to be absolutely wild a majority of the time.
Fearow
Arbok I thought this was Corbeau's ace before playing Z-A.
Nidoking Giovanni's ace...there's a hypothetical remake of the originals where this makes a debut.
Nidoqueen
Venemoth For whatever it's worth, it did get a nice feature in the final dungeon of Scarlet and Violet.
Parasect I'm a fan, but there is neither a design nor competitive reason to give an alternate form; there's not much improvement to be had here.
Golduck
Dewgong There's no saving this design or Hypno's.
Hypno
Dodrio
Seaking desperately needs it
Ditto like Mew, doesn't need it conceptually
Omastar There's a lot of potential with fossils. No doubt they have power-ups and forms lost to time. If a special form was time-limited in battle only like Terastal, Mega, or Dynamax, it wouldn't appear in the fossil record.
Kabutops
Mew
